9/10 gam thread - is tree dead?

[Sammy Sofa]

Wait, my feed is seriously just at the start of the bottom of the 5th and the inning is actually already over? Good lord.

[Sammy Sofa]

 

Quiet down, you racist.

 

OH MAN, THIS IS SO UNFAIR.

 

I was wrong. It actually feels pretty good. Also aren't most people associated with the FBI sort of racist?

 

Maybe? What does the FBI have to do with anything?

[UMFan83]

Get all this horsefeathers offense out of the way now.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Yeah, somehow the Astros stealing bases doesn't concern me.

horsefeathers. I thought you once worked for the FBI or was associated with them.

Is being able to run on our pitchers actually a thing or is that just based off the narrative that Lester doesn't throw to first and when Montero could only skip it to second base for a while?

I mean, they are 2 of 5 in the series. This is not an issue

I think people are able to run on Hendricks and Jake, too. Not sure what those numbers look like for Hammel and Lackey.

[UMFan83]

The Cubs have faced 4 straight starters who came in with ERAs over 4.50 and 3 of them with ERAs at 5 or more. They have scored 5,1,2 and so far 1 runs in those 4 games.

[expletive]. I thought you once worked for the FBI or was associated with them.

 

Oh, no, I work with a different government agency.

 

Dude, just let it go. My board status-thingie here was "Racey McRacist" for years and somehow I survived.

It happens. It's stupid, but it happens.

Just let UMFan do his UMFan thing.

[BigSlick]

here's some really prime analysis: the cubs aren't getting many hits lately

[bcl412]

I liked Smoltz when he played and I don't really mind him on MLB network but I'm tired of listening to him do commentary.

I feel like having a conversation immediately makes it seem like I'm over the top angry or out of my mind or on a crusade. There is nothing to let go. I'm fine. I just happened to have an opinion and was expressing it during our convo.

 

The CIA?

Sometimes.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I like Lackey because his teammates and manager seem fine with him and he's really damn solid.

I'm pretty sure it's more of an organizational thing to do the bare minimum to hold runners on. Let them take a 1/4 chance of being out for one base, plus the catchers are picking someone off a base every 2 weeks on top of that.

[David]

damn it

[BigSlick]

whats going on there why is contreras running (i cant watch again)

[Irrelevant Dude]

"I have no stake in knowing any knowledge"

 

That about sums it up.

[Careless]

so much weak contact

[Irrelevant Dude]

whats going on there why is contreras running (i cant watch again)

Because Heyward is batting, so they really don't have anything to lose.

[Sammy Sofa]

Blargh.

[BigSlick]

more hits, please
