[Cubswin11]

horsefeathering dumb ass decision to go to Randy in a 1 run game Joe. You horsefeathering idiot.

[bcl412]

Just viewing on gamecast has made for a frustrating game

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Why is Rosario back?

Never mind.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Randy ain't going to be boarding the flight to Arizona.

[squally1313]

By what measure is this guy our best option.

[Omar]

Can't wait for the three batter minimum.

Send Squally an Amazon gift card or something Sofa you monster.

Wow I didn't expect to see him pulled mid-batter lol. Joe is not happy.

The 3 batter minimum will at least make Randy unemployable. Silver lining.

[squally1313]

It was that or rolling forward excel files for the 8th straight hour. By this point I was basically just following gamecast...I've spent 20 minutes in worse ways.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Randy ain't going to be boarding the flight to Arizona.

Or Des Moines.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I don't understand how an umpire is looking right at that and gets it wrong

[Old Style]

Is that Ted Barrett at 2B today?

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Is that Ted Barrett at 2B today?

 

Yeah, which I guess explains it.

I cant believe that info is not easily accessible. The Cubs broadcast has that run expectancy graphic they show so the info is out there.

Oh I'm sure the play index stuff would have made this a ton easier, but I don't have nearly that kind of expertise. When I saw it was only 41 doubles/22 games, figured it wouldn't be that bad. BaseballRef PBP, search for 'double' and see what comes up. I was mostly just pissed because at the beginning I thought for sure I was proving him wrong.

Nobody in the pen can throw an Fing strike.

That pitch to Bellinger looked like a strike.
