8/16 Cubs (Lester) vs Brewers (Lindblom) 1:20 MSN

[Cubswin11]

Man, we were due to lose some games. But this is frustrating. Hopefully it’s just a little blip and they’re back at it vs the Cardinals this week looking good.

 

Bryant, Javy and Willy have to figure it out soon. Bullpen is looking better, starters are fine. 3 frustrating games last 3 days though, all coin flippy and Brewers benefited from more luck/got 1-2 bigger hits in all them. Not worried, we’re still the best team in the division and the Brewers suck. Ross needs to clean some things up too.

slightly concerning how horsefeathering horrible ross has been this weekend.

I haven’t been paying super close attention, what has Ross done wrong? I assume he called for Rizzo to steal in the 7th which was dumb. What else was there?

[soccer10k]

He’s out.

[Cubswin11]

Just getting no breaks all weekend

That was probably the only really dumb thing. He was thinking hit and run on 3-2 but Willy is prone to strikeouts and Rizzo is a dead duck if he Ks, so nothing made sense about that.

This damn ump can stop giving Hader extra strikes any time now

Taking a cue from Stoney, “You can’t slide into first base. For all you youngsters out their, run through first base.”

I guess we blame his perception of what's a strike on the ump? Holy horsefeathers dude take the horsefeathering walk.

The way KB is going it almost certainly didn't matter.

He took the walk and the ump called it a strike. After that, all bets were off and he had to protect.

Cubs struck out 43 times in three games.

[PackLandVA]

And from the 5th inning until the end of the game, the put the ball on play a whopping 5 times.

such a predictable organization
