We have a lot of frustrated fans on this board due to the mediocre start. I fear we might see the worst rage yet by the end of this one.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I feel bad for Q. People will look at the box and think he struggled.

Yeah, it was a real moral victory or something.

I think they just call it a victory when you win.

I would say it was a victory. No moral needed.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Guys:

 

1) we're playing at Coors.

2) Q and Yu have been excellent for like 2,000 inning combined. A handful of starts doesn't outweigh that.

 

Being professional pitchers with 2000 innings on their arms is a pretty good argument for perpetually looking for reasons to be concerned about them.

[Jaxbro]

Take the damn bunt Kyle

[d_money]

Take the damn bunt Kyle

Exactly. Or at least show it to make them move.

[TMan92]

I think the ump wants to go home early

[Schwarber Fan]

Is there a pitch clock or not? This Dunn guy is ridiculous.

The Cubs starting pitchers are like jazz; you really have to look at what's in between all of the runs they give up in their brief starts to truly get it.

Seems to be a lot of egregious strike calls against Caratini already this year for a limited number of AB. Edited April 22, 2018 by Sammys Boombox

Came just to see the bot tell me just how horrific the strike 1 call to Caratini was

No, no; you see, the Rockies home runs don't count because it's Coors (which I guess means that the measly 3 home runs the Cubs also have hit here so far in this series don't count, too. Sorry, Baez!).

[soccer10k]

Haha, nice defense, Rockies.

[Andy]

We have the best bunting pitchers in history

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Nice strat Rockies. Wise decision to not cover first base.

[Sammy Sofa]

horsefeathers you, Rockies, for making Drinky Joe's madness look good.

[Jaxbro]

I smell a double play with all that speed at first and at the dish

[NotSoSober]

We have the best bunting pitchers in history

And the king of defending the bunt with Rizzo. Ian Desmond is no Anthony Rizzo

[Cubswin11]

Amazing how not close Almora was to getting to 1B on that

[Jaxbro]

Close enough, I’ll take it
