Christmas is about to be over

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Heyward saved a run there

[NotSoSober]

Did we draft a catcher so Contreras can be moved to the OF?

[Cubswin11]

God horsefeathering damn it

[Schwarber Fan]

Wow, this would be a pretty big collapse. Cmon guys.

[NotSoSober]

baseball really horsefeathering sucks at times. jesus

They’re gonna move Schwarber back there

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Unbelievable

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Why is Baez fielding that throw with his left foot on the base

[Schwarber Fan]

Wow, here we go again with this nonsense. Enough of the Kyle Ryan experiment. Need a strikeout from Kintzler here. We aren’t coming back if the Rockies take the lead.

[OleMissCub]

Jackass bastard bullpen

[Old Style]

Implosion

[Irrelevant Dude]

Why is Baez fielding that throw with his left foot on the base

Because the throw was coming from the inside?

Yeah that was bad footwork, don’t know if it matters on that play, but it always is a pet peeve of mine when guys field throws balls at bags with their glove hand, foot on the bag (non 1B infielders seem to do it a ton).

We need a weird Cubs Rockies game at Wrigley. It’s bren awhile

Should pretty much always field a throw at a base with your throwing hand foot on the base, IMO.

[Cubswin11]

Kintzler coming in with a guy on 3B and less than 2 outs seems like a stupid decision.

[UMFan83]

Kintzler never lets inherited runners score right?

Does Joe have many options, especially in the 6th?

[Sammy Sofa]

As down as I get on this team, I still marvel at your bizarre declarations.

I was surprised when he wrote this would be a big collapse........the Cubs were up 3-0 in the sixth inning and Schwarbs made it seem like it was Game 6 all over again.

 

I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong and others agreed.

If the out at 2nd is a foregone conclusion I can see the argument that it makes for a faster turn, but that play was so slow developing that you have to prioritize getting an out.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Get the runs back please.

[NotSoSober]

I didn't realize this guy has only thrown 59 pitches til now, but Rizzo don't give a horsefeathers. Too bad that errant ball didn't hit Ricketts
