8/15 Reds(Benavides) vs Cubs (Hendricks) 7:05 on CSN

[Ding Dong Johnson]

dear joe,

cubs can’t win

 

thx

[Agony and Ivy]

come on jay. Deep fly ball

[Bryants Disco Ball]

We suck in this situation. Don't suck. We can do it.

[David]

NOW BUNTING LMAO.

 

worst game Joe has managed easily.

 

what was so laughably bad about bunting there?

 

seems marginal at best

[UMFan83]

Oh. Joe was just saving Avila from potentially the exact same situation the next inning

[Cubswin11]

The exit velo on that ball is likely higher than the previous 20 balls Zobrist has put in play combined. Good to see some hard contact from him. Edited August 16, 2017 by Cubswin11

[Ding Dong Johnson]

so now Avila can hit...

[UMFan83]

That was one of the worst ABs I've seen from Jay this year. Thought he was a dude we could count on for a good AB in that situation

[Agony and Ivy]

8/10 fake rally.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Jeeeeeez

[David]

honestly would've sent heyward

 

i get stopping him but i'd rather gamble and force them to make the play

[Sammys Boombox]

Another horrible AB by a Cubs hitter with a man on 3B less than 2 outs.

[David]

so now Avila can hit...

no he can't

[Ding Dong Johnson]

not Jay’s finest evening

[Ding Dong Johnson]

so now Avila can hit...

no he can't

*bat

[itisallpartoftheplan]

8/10 fake rally.

 

Might have to go 9/10 based on who got the hits and who couldn't put it in play.

[UMFan83]

Dammit should have gambled and sent Heyward. But I'm dumb and reactionary so I'm probably completely wrong. I just like the idea of forcing a good throw from the OF to get him.

[David]

that's the second time he jumped back on a called strike in that AB

 

sweet

 

caratini would've done better

[Schwarber Fan]

Our best hitter popped out on a 2-0 in the 7th

Our best contact hitter struck out with the tying run at 3rd and 1 out in the 9th

A BS a bloop double caused the game winning run to score

 

Just wow.

[UMFan83]

I don't think we're going to win 103 games this year.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

horsefeathering [expletive] loss. horsefeathers.

[NotSoSober]

Really could have used one of those professional ABs rom Jay. horsefeathers that game

[David]

you guys remember that series against the reds where they beat us one game by like 8 runs and we still outscored them by like 30?

 

let's do that again minus the 8 run loss

[Sammy Sofa]

NEVER WAVERED.

[Schwarber Fan]

NOW BUNTING LMAO.

 

worst game Joe has managed easily.

Down 2, extreme strikeout pitcher on the mound. I know Javy is a good hunter, but I'd rather see him try to just hit one out there.
