9/26 The Clinch Game (Arrieta vs Martinez) 7:15 CSN

[Brian]

I look forward to Wilson going back to being good after the Cubs trade him this winter.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Positive news is Almora's X-ray came back negative

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Geez, if Wilson wasn't going to have even 2 batters, why go to him at all?

[SparkMark1]

I mean, I'm sure they wanted him to go more than two

[Soul]

Geez, if Wilson wasn't going to have even 2 batters, why go to him at all?

And why go to him ever again?

[Derwood]

this bullpen management is no bueno

[UMFan83]

True fact: Justin Wilson has walked the first 2 batters in 87% of his Cub appearances

[Soul]

It's a 1 run game, he goes to Wilson who sucks. Then Wilson sucks, because he sucks.

 

Now Maddon brings in Carl Jr.

 

Why not just go to Jr?

[Regular Show]

I understand that Maddon is trying to get J. Wilson going, but it's just not going to happen before the playoffs. IT'S NOT HAPPENING JOE!

I think it's obvious that Joe wanted Carl to get some work entering the game in a jam and intentionally walking the first 2 batters is not good form so he did the next best thing.

 

Edit: I just realized that hitting the first 2 non-Dex Cardinals would be the next best thing so the next best thing after that.

CARL

 

Let's go!!

[soccer10k]

Get two runs.

Bring in Wade.

Pop bottles.

[Cubswin11]

Justin Wilson should have to go sit in a St. Louis style pizza restaurant while we celebrate in the clubhouse

[Regular Show]

Good job Carl! I was nervous, but he got out of that jam. Now, it's time for the Epic Comeback and Clinching The Division!

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Geez, if Wilson wasn't going to have even 2 batters, why go to him at all?

And why go to him ever again?

 

Because they're hoping he rediscovers how good he was with Detroit. That guy is a weapon in this bullpen.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Joe managed this game like he drank all of the celebration champagne before the game and is trying to buy himself some time to replace it.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

You have to ban Willson from even showing bunt in this setting. Wasting strikes.

[Omar]

the upside is we can get 50% off Papa John's the following day when you order online with promo code CARDSWIN

 

the downside is you have to eat Papa John's pizza

Willy is the best

[Cubswin11]

Willy had some great at bats tonight

[Soul]

What a great AB

[Brian]

Lets go Addi, do it for nacho man

[soccer10k]

Ian should have taken until he threw a strike.

[soccer10k]

It will never happen but a Heyward game winning dong would be amazing.

[17 Seconds]

it kind of pisses me off that we're facing nicasio right now
