Rizzo can expect to get hit tomorrow. Should be fun

Yeah, hopefully on his back/ass and everyone moves on

[wvcbxl]

Does Joe keep Strop in for the 9th?

Yes. And then someone else. And someone else. Probably someone else. Then Morrow.

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

I just hope they don't have to amputate the catcher's foot. He really took that full force...surprised Rizzo didn't draw at least a yellow card for that!

You're talking about a team that intentionally threw at a pitcher in a playoff game. I'm going to assume there will be some serious intent because that was a dirty slide, IMO

[Jaxbro]

Does anybody know how Gimenez rates as a game caller/pitch framer?

Does it take much to be an upgrade at framing over Willson???

 

But being a veteran of the position and having someone like Yu(in his heyday) tab him as a personal catcher I’m more than comfortable with him back there

It does not.

 

I'm intrigued. I wonder if Yu still has his arm in 10 days if this might help him. Maybe try him with Chatwood for the fun of it.

Pedro Strop = most underrated Cub of all-time?

 

It will always be Aramis for me

[CaliforniaRaisin]

My gut says that play was dirty.

 

That being said, I think JD is right. That's a double play, and so Rizzo's slide should be treated the same way as a slide into 2b on a double play. In that sense, it's on Elias for being oblivious.

 

Yeah, I’m with you on that.

[Jaxbro]

Pirate fans are so used to Hurdle’s butthurt ways, they’re booing cause Rizzo hasn’t been plunked

[Bryants Disco Ball]

That was rude of Rizzo to get a hit.

[wvcbxl]

Rizzo very unpopular in Pitt right now.

[The_Achiever]

Rizzo is #ourdouche.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Pedro Strop = most underrated Cub of all-time?

 

Definitely a top 5 Cub reliever of all time.

[Jaxbro]

Please let Strop wail away here

[Cubswin11]

Surprised they didn’t hit Rizzo with the base open. Hopefully it means they don’t think it was dirty. But they’ll probably hit him tomorrow or Rodriguez or Cervelli will try to slide dirty on Javy/Addy

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Impressive by the the Cubs today. Obviously, Monty was rested and set the tone, but for the offense to show some life when this team played last night and then right away the next day on the road is pretty great.

Oh I think it will be a combination of what you said.

 

There is no way they watch that and see Rizzo outside the baseline and then end up two steps inside the line to wipe out their guy and think it’s ok. Hurdle is probably purple in face with veins popping out at near aneurysm levels right now watching it

Depends who you're talking to, but it's almost certainly Sosa or Ramirez.

Wait. How was Sosa underrrated?

Nice W, #WeAreGood

Have you ever talked to a Cubs fan in real life?

[Schwarber Fan]

The only way I can see Sosa being underrated is if you're talking to a Cubs fan under the age of 30?

Mlb network showed Freese and Joey Cora going at it in the dugout but I turned it too late to see what was going on.

Probably pissed they didn't hit Rizzo.
