7/21 Cubs (Monty) vs Cards (still no clue) 615 Fox

[gobigred]

bummer

[itisallpartoftheplan]

2 straight walks to lead off the 9th with the wind blowing in is killer.

[UMFan83]

i dont understand why we put all this focus and emphasis on walking less guys and we only get worse and worse.

[bcl412]

Turn an annoying loss into s sweet ass win please

[Andy]

What is a sacrifice hit?

It's one way to term a sac bunt. It might be the official way, I'm not sure, but I've certainly seen it called that.

who woulda thought the guy that walks a batter per inning was a bad choice for the top of the 9th of a tie game.

i'm going to submit that we don't have enough power arms so we have lots of nibblers who don't have elite command

[Old Style]

Game over

[Brian]

Carpenter will end up homering in this inning after all

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Bad, bad loss.

[Derwood]

Cishek was due for a bad game, but that doesn’t make it suck any less

You’re not going to have a righty pitch to Carpenter there, you just aren’t. So your choices are Wilson or Duensing

That probably accounts for a lot of it but last in baseball in BB by a fair amount?

Hate to say it, but we should’ve done much more damage in the 6th. KB needs to do more than a weak little grounder in that spot. Edited July 22, 2018 by Schwarber Fan

Bad, bad loss.

 

These are always the ones I hate the most, when you grab the lead in the late innings and then watch it bleed away.

I hate to say it, but I think the bullpen had what they needed to close it out and just didn't.

Man we’ve had some annoying losses vs these mediocre bums

he has an OPS of over 1.000 vs lefties

[Gilby]

I blame all of this on Chatwood for not being able to pitch deeper into game one and I'm sticking to it

[abuck1220]

and fine, let him face carpenter. then when he walks him yank his worthless ass if you’re fine with using cishek anyway.

Len claims he lets the coach call the shots when he gets run. If so wonder Joe pulls the trigger after the walk

[bcl412]

Bud Norris blowing a three run lead with the wind blowing in would be rad

[BigSlick]

Really? This happened? What the hell

[TMan92]

horsefeathers this game.

[Schwarber Fan]

What a dumb game and series even though it’s 2-2
