4/25: Dodgers (Stripling) @ Cubs (Lester) 1:20 on NBCSCH/MLBN

Bang up job managing the pen this inning, Joe. Going to Randy in a 1 run game is inexcusable and if Ryan was gonna come in anyways/available start the [expletive] inning with him.

[Old Style]

Make 'em pay, Kris.

[CubinNY]

The Dodgers pitcher looks like he's from Rookie of the Year.

[Old Style]

Or ground out weakly to 3B. Whatevs.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

KB's dong meter reads that he hasn't hit one this month. That is sort of pathetic.

I can't disagree with anything you said.

 

That said, I always look at the bigger factors. Meaning, the Cubs haven't scored a run. Had you given me the Dodgers scoring two runs this game, I would have locked that in and taken it and felt we had a nice chance to win.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Even if the Cubs don't come back and win, taking two of three from what some can argue is the best team in the National League is real solid.

[Sammy Sofa]

Alright. Time for some cool horsefeathers to go down.

Yeah, seems odd to be bitching about Joe mismanaging the bullpen when they gave up 1 run and we are heading to the bottom of the 9th down 2-0.

[Hawk4Hall]

Well at least the starting pitching is pretty good right now.

 

Bryant with 1 homer in 80 ABs isn't.

[Old Style]

This is our destiny...

It was a 1-0 game, don’t treat like we’re up or down 7 and bring in the worst reliever to start an inning. Especially when you end up just bringing in the better lefty anyways to replace him who was clearly available but had a mess to clean up. Joe’s shitty management directly led to 1 run being scored there.

[Hawk4Hall]

We've got this.

[Old Style]

Almora dong?????????

[Hawk4Hall]

Weeeee! Albert Bomb!

[Transmogrified Tiger]

the most baseball thing I've seen happen all year

[Cubswin11]

Lol, that 1 run is kinda important now

[BigSlick]

almora hitting a dong there actually makes me hate him more

 

*provided we still lose

[Hawk4Hall]

399 happy feet as Steve Stone would say.

[Old Style]

OK, NOW I understand the bitching about Maddon. Lol.

[BigSlick]

Not a great at bat my dude

 

[Cubswin11]

Oh well, still above .500. Won the series and were in that game. Go win another series this weekend.

[sweetpeteman]

Took 2 of 3, good enough.

[UMFan83]

Albert Almora and Kris Bryant have the same number of HRs 23 games into the season

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Not a great at bat my dude

 

 

Ump calling the 1st pitch a strike hurt that at bat. Terrible swing at the 2nd pitch, but the called strike set up the strike 3 swing.
