8/7 Cubs (Darvish) @ Reds (Bauer) 6:10 CST NBCSCH

[Sammy Sofa]

Yeesh. Classic Road Cobs.

[Edith Cox]

Game changing choke.

 

1st and 3rd and no outs 13 pitches deep into the inning, only to make 3 outs on the next 6 pitches to fail to score or drive up his PC.

[Sammy Sofa]

Brutal. We aren’t scoring off Bauer again, have to hope to get their pen.

 

What are you, some kind of time traveler from 45 minutes from now?

[TMan92]

Jesus. Did Caratini tell him what the pitch was.

[Schwarber Fan]

Why do we ever throw a pitch anywhere but the outside corner to Suarez? Of his billion homeruns against us, they are all to left field.

[Derwood]

Yu just can't help but give up 3 or 4 HR's per game

[profisme]

He must not have any faith in his fastball right now. Haven't seen him throw it in a bit.

[Sammy Sofa]

Darvish gave up that home run like the Cubs had actually scored that run last inning.

It was mentioned earlier in the season that his fastball was what was usually either missing badly or getting clobbered when he was really struggling.

[Edith Cox]

Not going to get any help from the worthless Pirates tonight as Archer already has the bases loaded on 4 pitches.

I must have missed that, but it looked good that inning when he used it.

Which Yu Darvish have you guys been watching the last month or so???

They’ve won like 5 of 30 games since taking 3 of 4 from us and you know they won’t just roll over when we go back there in a few weeks.

[UMFan83]

So it took the offense 10 innings to get acclimated to the road again

[TMan92]

We are pounding him next inning.

I’m good with putting this one off as “Bauer is really good,” but Darvish giving up bombs again is annoying.

Well I was specifically referring to this evening. Then right after I did, he started using it more.

[squally1313]

KB seems to be coming out of his slump. Not sure if the injury went away (or was even the cause for it in the first place).

Yeah, his numbers of the last week are trending the right way. BAbip going up, too.

[Schwarber Fan]

Badly need Happ to hit a 3 run homer here.

[TMan92]

I’ll take a single

[TMan92]

Have we ever gotten to 12 over this year?

[Schwarber Fan]

The Reds are going to be really good next year and I’m bothered by this.

[UMFan83]

Castellanos now with more HR at Great American Ball Park this season than Joey Votto.

 

Give Yu a few innings
