Why not bunt with Happ?

If Castellanos doesn't do something good here, his time as a Cub has been worthless.

Cards thought the same, so a walk it is

[abuck1220]

if i had no access to stats and you asked me to guess bryant's OPS just by what i've seen this year, i would say .726.

 

.721

[minnesotacubsfan]

ahhhh...middle reliever might be too much.

[minnesotacubsfan]

Cardinals are smart: walk their good player, pitch to the choke artists

The pitched around him to face the ex MVP

[Andy]

STL pitched around Castellanos to get to Bryant. Amazing.

Seriously I know people are sick of hearing this but this season really might just be karma for Murphy/Russell/Racist Ricketts. Another ball hit on a line in a key spot that went right to a fielder. 3rd game in a row that has happened with the game on the line.

[Andy]

It's kind of amazing how STL scores almost every time they get a chance and we get chance after chance and fail. There's no way it's not in these guys' heads.

Apparently I'm a moron because that Bryant hit only had a 11% expected hit probability

Just bad baseball team

[Sammy Sofa]

Bryant is so horsefeathering lame. He's the absolute lamest, most boring, most annoying kind of good player.

Was only like 91 mph

Here’s where they get an insurance run to make the run we’ll get in the 8th or 9th all the more annoying.

it reminds me of 2015 when they were crazy streaky. but then, we had Arrieta to stop the slide. Now we have...?

I'm willing to consider it. But how come other teams aren't getting that bad luck who employ a bunch of scumbags, too?

 

ETA: Never mind. It appears the Bryant thing wasn't karma. He just sucked.

AHHHHHH now Wick blows

[minnesotacubsfan]

ok, he got robbed on that 1st pitch to Bader. but who could blame the ump? The Cubs suck, it cant be a strike

[abuck1220]

this gangly ass dude has line drive to right center written all over him.

[minnesotacubsfan]

STUNNING

[Brian]

They're going to tie it up and lose in the 10th again

[Bryants Disco Ball]

For those who still care, I absolutly guarantee the Cubs will win. I don't think when I'm right it will be that impressive considering it's only a one-run game with two innings left, but it is what it is.
