7/17 Cubs (Darvish) vs Reds (Gray) 1:20CDT NBC Chicago

[BigSlick]

Albert Almora leading off is literally insane

 

it's actively insulting to do that while Jayson Heyward is sitting at the 6th spot in the lineup

Especially because he won’t be PH for ever later in the game if there’s a big spot, because defense.

[BigSlick]

I didn't think it was possible for other teams to commit outs at the plate

[UMFan83]

Or to fail at runner on 3rd less than 2 out situations.

[Derwood]

That’s the most fired up I’ve ever seen Yu

[UMFan83]

[BigSlick]

i demand more runs

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Darvish done at 83 pitches??

Wtf.

[Derwood]

Darvish done at 83 pitches??

Wtf.

 

If he went back out for the 7th and gave up three runs, people would complain that Maddon left him in too long.

[minnesotacubsfan]

Darvish could have made the out just fine thank you Kyle

[TMan92]

Darvish done at 83 pitches??

Wtf.

 

Weird.

[Brian]

yeah, I really don't like that at only 83 pitches and the bottom half of their order up and our pen.

[jersey cubs fan]

hell of a day for albert

[BigSlick]

i'm fine with pulling Yu when he's been going good. all depends on how confident you feel in Strop, Kimbrel and....Kintzler I guess?

 

Well that was a wet fart of an inning

[dfnowak]

Why is Baez bunting?

[Stu]

Maddon probably wanted him to leave on a high note because he never has won at Wrigley

[squally1313]

Kyle Ryan, cool. I get that there's an off day so you can ride the bullpen. But still.

[Derwood]

Kyle Ryan has been in 42 games? I would've put money on half that number

[TMan92]

Can we stop hitting people?

[BigSlick]

Kyle Ryan really sucks and I hate his guts

[Brian]

are they really going to give Yu his ND right away?

[TMan92]

Darvish heading for another ND

[soccer10k]

Too bad Kyle Ryan’s going to make sure that streak continues.

Dumb people

[Brian]

I'm starting to think Joe is daring them to fire him.
