4/30 World Champs (Hendricks) v. Red Sox (Rodriguez) 7:05, ESPN

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Moreland hit the ball harder off Edwards than anyone has in weeks and it was a can of corn flyout

[David]

someone, i think olney, just called gregorius one of the yankees' two best players

[Transmogrified Tiger]

As an aside, I love that Joe basically alternates days with Koji/Rondon as the setup men one day, and Edwards/Strop the next. The end result is that out of the top 5 relievers(Davis, Rondon, Strop, Edwards, Uehara), there was only one instance of one of them throwing on consecutive days, and that was Davis getting 2 saves in a row prior to an off day.

JHey should be batting .350 this year.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

I would like to know how ball 2 to Hernandez missed.

listen Joe I don't know why you're contradicting me like this, I say nice things about you all the time

[Cubswin11]

Seemed like Rizzo could've gotten that out pretty easily if he just charged that ball and took it himself

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Hernandez was out.

 

Schulman thinks ties go to the runner.

[Cubswin11]

Yes, please have Benintendi bunt

[Schwarber Fan]

Uehara should never have started this inning. He can't pitch back to back days.

[BigSlick]

if we could win this...isntead of lose this game, that would be cool

[Bryants Disco Ball]

It just sucks that this all started on a routine grounder to first.

[mikeyt34]

I'm calling my shot. Pedro gets out of this.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Hopefully there aren't back-to-backs in the playoffs for Koji's sake.

[Cubswin11]

Uehara should never have started this inning. He can't pitch back to back days.

Don't know why Strop didn't, especially because he was warming up right away. Uehara couldn't locate for horsefeathers. I hope this wasn't some stupid gut/sentimental thing Joe did that costs us because he wanted Koji to get one more outing at his old stadium.

[Andy]

I wish Davis were coming in

[Cubswin11]

F

[Andy]

Well, that was not surprising

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I had mentally pegged this to be 2 Ks and then a broken bat blooper to fall behind, but a wild pitch is in that same family of gut punches

[Sammys Boombox]

Pretty annoying that a routine groundball to 1B was the downfall to this game.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Don't forget Marco Hernandez was out at first.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I had mentally pegged this to be 2 Ks and then a broken bat blooper to fall behind, but a wild pitch is in that same family of gut punches

 

I had two Ks and a wild pitch just like that, as that has happened before in the past with Strop.

 

Oh, well. Just wish it didn't all start the way it did. It sucks when our D doesn't come through.

[mikeyt34]

Oh well. Time to watch The Leftovers.

[Cubswin11]

Jesus, Rizzo fucked us this inning
