9/26 Cubs (Quintana) vs Pirates (Nova) 7:05 NBCSCH

Because because. That is better. I still hate Joe.

[soccer10k]

why not just put the slowest and most unathletic player on the bench in as pinch runner if you're just going to give up an out bunting them to second base? what a waste.

 

Or just leave Happ in. He's plenty fast. Then you don't lose his bat.

Albert Almora saves the cubs 1 more day

CUBS WIN!

[Aaron_Kennelly]

What a stupid horsefeathering game. Just an absolutely horrible sport.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Never a doubt

almora's "this is my house!" celebration is hilarious when you examine the context of his game-winning RBI coming on a 17-hopper through the left side.

[Schwarber Fan]

Big win for Brandon Kintzler.

[NotSoSober]

Whew...Fly the W

[UMFan83]

Since the Cubs are not “clinching the playoffs celebrating” I guess they will not celebrate this year

Why would they throw that pitch? Oh well. I still like the Cubs so I hope this gets them going.

[Sammys Boombox]

Joe’s clearly a genius. Why chance stealing there? Lolol.

 

First place

[Sammy Sofa]

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I don’t care, still fire everybody

[TruffleShuffle]

Albert Almora with his .480 OPS in the second half against a righty which he is notably worse at hitting is a nice cap to this awfully managed inning by Joe. Great stuff

 

yeah, giving up an out to get gore to second and then subsequently needing a hit out of victor caratini (can't hit in general) or albert almora (can't hit RHP) was not really a masterclass in managing.

[Cubswin11]

We still suck

[Billy_Buck]

IT IS THE MIRACLE WE NEVER SHOULD HAVE NEEDED BUT HAVE NOW GLORIOUSLY TREAD WATER FOR YET ANOTHER DAY, SO THAT WE MAY SINK BENEATH THE SURFACE ON SOME DIFFERENT DAY!

[minnesotacubsfan]

I take back everything i thought about Almora

[cl smooth]

Never in doubt.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

4 more dumb games just like that and these sad sacks might just pull this off.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

*What a win. What a damn win.

 

#wearegood

 

*I think

[chibears55]

Another head scratcher by Joe

 

Why PR with the best stealer if youre just gonna bunt him over
