6/25 Cubs (Alzolay) vs Braves (Fried) 7:05 NBC Chicago+

[Sammy Sofa]

That Willson Contreras is one fine piece of ace.

[BigSlick]

i'm just popping in, but can someone explain to me how the cubs managed to commit a double play double stealing with the bases loaded and one out

 

i'm thankful to god that i did not witness this as i likely would have had a stroke on the spot

Adbert was up, Joe called the squeeze on the first pitch he bunted through it and Javy came way too far down the line and they caught him in a rundown, he didn’t stay in it long enough to let Willy get to 3B/Willy was an idiot for trying and got thrown out after Javy was tagged out.

[BigSlick]

ok i clearly have to turn the game off because it appears alzolay immediately lost control and everything is turning to horsefeathers, bye guys!

[OleMissCub]

Love how McCann’s BR page lists one of his nicknames as “Fun Police”

[Cubswin11]

Catch the ball like a normal person Almora, you doofus

[Guancous]

Alzolay is still hitting 96 in the 5th inning.

[Andy]

Ump rooking Adbert against the freaking pitcher. Thanks clown.

[Cubswin11]

horsefeathers off ump

[Schwarber Fan]

You have to ring up Fried. Clown umpire.

[Old Style]

Blind ass umpire cost Adbert a possible W.

[Tryptamine]

How does Fried get that strike on Bote, but doesn't call either pitch on the corner to Fried. Robot jumps please.

[Cubswin11]

Bringing in Monty in a jam vs just giving him a clean inning seems dumb. Have another reliever ready to clean this up then go to Monty next inning.

[badger]

Ump sucks but why are you nibbling against the pitcher. I know he’s 5/26 which is good for a pitcher but still.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Montgomery sucks

[ScrubMD]

Montgomery should not be pitching right now.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Somehow

[BigSlick]

ok i cheated, but i do have to join the chorus saying: mike montgomery is 1,000,000 percent not the person to bring in with the bases loaded right there. he's having a terrible year so far and the poor dude needs all the help he can get. i'm glad it worked out but jeez, you're playing with fire with that one

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I think Monty could walk a guy in because he's not elite or anything, but I never worry about him melting down in these games or situations because the moment is too big.

[Cubswin11]

Monty kinda sucks and just doesn’t fit this roster construction for the things he’s good at.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Ump calling pitches off the edge now.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Fire all umps into the sun. horsefeathers 'em all.

[Cubswin11]

Score more runs idiots

[itisallpartoftheplan]

1 or 2 more innings like that and I’ll issue an apology to Monty for saying he sucks.

[BigSlick]

cubs really uninterested in adding to the lead huh
