4/27: Cubs (Darvish) vs Brewers (Suter) 1:20 CT, NBC Sports Chicago/MLBN

[TMan92]

All part of the MLB conspiracy to keep us from winning multiple games in a row.

[Cubswin11]

Thanks ump, horsefeathering bum

[TMan92]

What an absolutely awful pitch by Duensing

[UMFan83]

Of course Heyward loses the ball. Thankfully he found it eventually.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

BOOOOO! horsefeathers you, blue!

[Cubswin11]

Alright, I guess that’s the best reasonable outcome. Score now you idiots and this HP ump owes us some calls.

[PackLandVA]

Some of Javy’s bother me a little.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Reading the game thread and not checking any other outlets is crazy sometimes. I thought for sure we had just given up four that inning.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

horsefeathers this ump.

[Cubswin11]

Addy hit! I’ll take it

[CyHawk_Cub]

Damn Addison looks awful at the plate. He's become Ryan Theriot.

 

But I'll take that IF hit.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Way to make poor contact, Addison.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Get Russell around, mostly because they need to score to win but also because the Brewers deserve to be punished for trying to get away with Sogard at SS

[Brian]

i would be cool with scoring a ton now, walking off would also be ok

[TMan92]

The biggest guy on the team is sacrificing. Russell than Heyward is so painful right now.

[Cubswin11]

Bunting there to let Caritini hit seems sub optimal. Take the chance that Heyward can draw a walk or get a hit.

[Derwood]

I haven't watched every inning this year, but I've seen Heyward make some damn good plays. Why is everyone acting like he's Adam Dunn in RF all of a sudden?

[PackLandVA]

Let’s go Chompers. Get Addy in.

[TMan92]

Because his offense continues to blow.

He’s misplayed probably a half dozen balls already that he either just couldn’t track the ball correctly or lost it in the sun/sky.

Against a lefty he’s a high risk for a DP though, I’m okay with that decision given that Caratini guarantees platoon advantage and then the top of the order is up.

Normally I'd agree, but with as many ground balls as Heyward hits, I can understand it.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Ugg thought that was gonna score Russell.

Fair enough and it worked. Still pissed Almora bunted earlier.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Get him in!
