6/17: Cubs (Quintana) @ Cards (Flaherty) 7:05 ESPN

[NotSoSober]

Why didn't Russell go to third there? Seemed like he had time.

He doesn't seem like the greatest decision maker

[Transmogrified Tiger]

This is unfair but still notable to me

 

Cubs fans: wtf joe you’re gonna burn out the pen

 

Also cubs fans: Where is Cishek in the 6th I don’t care if he pitched last night

[Agony and Ivy]

GO horsefeathers YOURSELF JOE

[abuck1220]

can’t horsefeathering believe Anthony bass is giving up rockets

[Schwarber Fan]

2 out of 3 will have to do.

[Cubswin11]

horsefeathers you Joe

[NotSoSober]

Thank god Maddon put this [expletive] in. Retire already

Use literally anyone but Bass in that spot.

[Sammys Boombox]

I really don’t understand not using a better reliever here.

[abuck1220]

horsefeathers maddon gets off on this smartest guy in the room bit.

[Gilby]

Do you guys honestly think Maddon is choosing to go with Anthony Bass over an available Steve Cishek?

[UMFan83]

It’s just Carl that’s injured from our really deep and good pen right? It feels like all the sudden we are down 3 guys with the way Joe is using the pen lately

[Irrelevant Dude]

Is it just me or is the field noise way out of whack on the ESPN broadcast? Every time someone makes contact, I'm expecting a 450 ft home run.

I would have really enjoyed that sweep... and first place...

[ConstableRabbit]

What the horsefeathers is wrong with you guys? They hit 4 GBs and a bloop this inning and their pen sucks.

Literally anyone but Anthony horsefeathering Bass is defensible.

Who the hell is anthony bass

Yes, because he just did

Yes im sure Farrell(the other RH outside the late inning circle of trust) would’ve been greeted with cheers.

Their mics are hot. I've never heard Quintana grunt after every pitch before tonight

[ConstableRabbit]

We don’t have an off day until, like, August. It’s not that big of a deal.

Someone from the “late inning circle of trust” should have been used with two on, no out in the 6th inning if 0-0 game. That’s the problem.

[NotSoSober]

Matheny gonna Matheny. Jesus christ

[Cubswin11]

If Bass was the choice that inning if Q got in trouble just let Bass start the inning then. At least give the shitty ass pitcher some margin for error. Don’t make him pitch out of horsefeathers.
