[Derwood]

Has Maldonado gotten a hit as a Cub?

[Irrelevant Dude]

Has Maldonado gotten a hit as a Cub?

No.

[Irrelevant Dude]

What exactly does a Brad Brach do for this team?

[UMFan83]

Has Maldonado gotten a hit as a Cub?

No.

 

Geez I knew he was not doing well but didn’t realize that. Only 10 PA but 0-9 with 1BB and 3K so far as a Cub

[itisallpartoftheplan]

I have always believed in Brach

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Better score here before we get to Yates

[Schwarber Fan]

FOH with that play. That’s a base hit if it’s against us.

[UMFan83]

Better score here before we get to Yates

 

*sees Descalso pinch hit*

 

Nope

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I think our only chance to win is if...........they bring in Kirby Yates for the ninth.

[Schwarber Fan]

Someone is flying out to the track in the 9th. This I know.

[Schwarber Fan]

Ah, but first the insurance run so we are allowed to get one in the 9th.

[soccer10k]

Why pick that ball up? You weren’t getting the runner. Just let it roll on the slim chance it goes foul.

[HawkeTrackler]

Rizzo's gonna walk us off I can feel it.

 

Edit: lol never mind Carl is gonna just walk in a couple runs

Urias batting .100 with almost a .400 OBP

 

Correction it’s up to .403 now

Bringing in Carl with two already on is not ideal. He’s got no buffer now when he inevitably walks two guys.

[UMFan83]

Oh Carl...

[Schwarber Fan]

Great way to get Carl’s confidence re-established here...

[cl smooth]

the new carl: same as the old carl!

[abuck1220]

what a perfect time to bring Edwards in. I mean just perfect.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Great horsefeathering job Carl

[Schwarber Fan]

Edwards is garbage. He’s toast.

[soccer10k]

horsefeathers off Maddon. Go away any day now.

[UMFan83]

Man I remember when Carl would come in and just dominate with electric swing and miss stuff. He always had occasional hiccups where he’d lose control but for the most part he was a reliable if not dominant set up guy. What the hell happened to him?

[Schwarber Fan]

Who cares if it hit him or not, the 3rd run is the dagger for us today.

[abuck1220]

who could have predicted a guy with control issues having control issues in his first outing off the DL, and who could have predicted that bringing said guy with control issues into a 1 run game with two guys on would backfire.
