5/22 Phillies (Irvin) @ Cubs (Hamels) 7:05 NBCSN/MLBN

[Schwarber Fan]

I remember when WE used to hit gappers and seeing eye singles. Those were good times.

[UMFan83]

Jesus the number of ground balls finding a hole this series is higher than the rest of the year combined

[itisallpartoftheplan]

How many rbi hits have dribbled up that same path the last few games?!

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I keep thinking these are going to be double plays. Crazy.

[NotSoSober]

This game is somehow going to be more annoying than the last 2

[Irrelevant Dude]

I keep thinking these are going to be double plays. Crazy.

Probably just bad luck, but the defensive positioning has been awful.

[UMFan83]

Normally in this situation I’d be rooting for a ground ball but now that’s the last thing I want

Haha. First time in Wrigley history the wind is howling out and we are all cheering for fly balls.

[Schwarber Fan]

He’s so obviously out

[NotSoSober]

LOL @ replay and LOL @ this god damn game

[Schwarber Fan]

WTF! This game is so brutal.

[NotSoSober]

Wait. They CONFIRMED the call?

[Schwarber Fan]

The worst part about this is even if we score some runs, our garbage bullpen is going to give up a bunch more.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

I believe that’s a hit with RISP

[Schwarber Fan]

RIZZO HAS A GLORIOUS DONG

[NotSoSober]

Oh my. That was hit kind of hard. Statcast will inexplicably say it only went 440 ft

[Derwood]

He broke the sign

[weis21]

Lol i just got done thinking at the end of the Phillie’s half we would score 3 runs off this guy.

 

I didn’t, however, think it would take 3 batters.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Rizzo finally figured out how to hit it right at the d and still score.

Please always stay on brand.

 

I need consistency in my life.

I mean this hasn’t been proven either way yet, but sure thing.

[TMan92]

Phillies BABIP .800 for this game?

No it hasn’t. But what good does it do to just assume the bullpen will be bad.

 

They haven’t appeared yet. There have been many nights they were solid if not good/great. It just seems overly pessimistic is all for a game in the third inning down three (not is now tied in the top of 4)

[UMFan83]

Holy horsefeathering hell

[BigSlick]

Definitely the thing that destroys my soul most in baseball is when we score to tie or lead and immediately give it up in the next half inning

 

So don’t do that
