4/10 pirates (nova) at cubs (chatwood) 1:20 cdt abc7

[Sammy Sofa]

Hey, Happ didn't strike out! Progress.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

How is he so fast?

[NotSoSober]

Nice piece of hitting by Schwarbs there. Great baserunning as well

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Schwarbs might be somewhat useful if he could do that once or twice a week

[Sammy Sofa]

That's some nifty pesky hitting this inning.

[Cubswin11]

Hard contact never, soft contact forever!!!

[UMFan83]

Glad Bryant managed to crossed the plate, it looked like he wasnt going particularly hard, assuming that Contreras wasn't going to be thrown out. Edited April 10, 2018 by UMFan83

I know I'm wrong, but replay is so not intended for this crap.

Hey it might have won us a playoff series last year so I'm all in favor of it. Until it fucks us royally.

They get crap like this right but not during Saturday's Brewer game with LaStella at home. Safe to out is ok but not out to safe?

[Sammy Sofa]

Bah!

[Banedon]

Was it an overslide?

[Cubswin11]

I know I'm wrong, but replay is so not intended for this crap.

Agree, it should be changed for instances like this. If you reasonably held the bag without just sliding past it or like falling off to the side you should still be safe if you pop off for a second. Same with the home plate thing, if your foot/hand is above it before the tag you should be safe you shouldn't actually need to touch it on a slide.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Was it an overslide?

underslide. he got to the bag but popped up like a doofus and his foot slid back ever so slightly

[Cubswin11]

Was it an overslide?

No. He did a pop up slide and his foot jumped off the base (back towards second base) for a split second before his other foot hit it and the foot that popped off got back on it. The initial slide/contact with the base got in fairly easily before the tag.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Chatwood will never throw another strike!

[Aaron_Kennelly]

That curve is nice. Throw it more, dammit.

[Cubswin11]

It’s damn impressive. What’s the pitch he throws at 87-90? A cutter/change/split/sinker or 2-seam?

[UMFan83]

ok fine you guys got your soft contact run too. (not on the RBI but on the other 2 hits)

[David]

Javy!!

[NotSoSober]

lol. was he patting himself on the back?

[Aaron_Kennelly]

JAVY!

I think it's a cutter.

[Cubswin11]

That was a mighty fine DONG

[javy knows my name]

javy's sammy hop just made my life
