[soccer10k]

Ask and you shall receive apparently.

 

Please don't mess around in this one, Cubs (I'm looking at you, Ross).

 

Can't speak about Ross since I wasn't able to watch much of the game, but the Cubs delivered for us.

 

In that case, please finish off the sweep, Cubs.

 

GO CUBS!!!

Pirates attempting to play defense last game:

just walking around knowing it's only the Pirates, but also knowing beating them is still a lot better than not beating them

Everybody in the Central gets 10 games against the Pirates. So far:

 

Cubs 5-0

Reds 1-1 (4 games coming up this weekend)

Cards 2-3

Brewers 2-4

 

Yes, the Pirates are over .500 against the rest of the division.

man these guys are so brutal defensively

[Bertz]

man these guys are so brutal defensively

 

Yeah Riddle plays infield defense like Ian Happ with offense like Albert Almora

[Cubswin11]

Jesus Christ offense

[abuck1220]

mills is very bad

[We Got The Whole 9]

Oh... yeah, Willy... take hitting tips from Javy. What could go wrong.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Teams really know us well and take advantage of our passivity on 3-1

[Cubswin11]

They should call Abbott or Steele up and start bullpenning Mills starts. Mills is fine for 1 time through the order, try and cover 5-6 innings with Mills and a combo of 1 of those guys and Rea/Underwood. Edited September 3, 2020 by Cubswin11

ross loves doing stupid horsefeathers with starting runners doesn’t he

[Cubswin11]

Ross is kinda bad at the whole in game decision making thing

[We Got The Whole 9]

It's like he didn't play with these guys and doesn't know that they're not cut out for this horsefeathers. I'm tired of it.

 

And it just cost us a run.

[Brian]

yeah the Cubs have to lead the league in strike out -> caught stealing right?

[Brian]

we can't have 1 nice thing?

[Cubswin11]

Hopefully it’s just a little bruise and he’s back by Saturday or Sunday

what is the cubs success rate on SB? They need to stop running.

13/17 before today, so 13/18 now. Break even is I believe 2/3 so it hasn't really helped or hurt them that much

 

Edit: Forgot there were 2 CS today, but 13/19 still doesn't tell a different story

Interesting. I must have seen every CS before today because I would have sworn it was much worse.

[sneakypower]

pretty uninstinctive baserunning by Schwarber there, probably should have been an easy run

[Brian]

would be a nice time for doing that hitting lefties thing you're supposed to be good at
