unreal

Ross is inept. The horsefeathers was that leaving Kipnis in vs a LHP? Get Nico or Bote in, even if they switch to a RHP that’s a better matchup.

hate it, since you want to take him out for defense at this point anyway

[abuck1220]

quite the clinic on whatever the opposite of situational hitting is by the cubs today

[Cubswin11]

Damn, I thought Maybin hit that a ton

[NOLA]

quite the clinic on whatever the opposite of situational hitting is by the cubs today EVERY GAME

[Brian]

well this is usually where the other team scores a ton

[We Got The Whole 9]

No, JD, just stop. They have horsefeathering suuuuuucked with the bases loaded

[Bertz]

LOL what the horsefesthers was that

[Ding Dong Johnson]

lol cobs

[We Got The Whole 9]

That was actuality pretty funny

[abuck1220]

the lineup ross put out there was not of the joe maddon "happy to win 2 of 3, let's call it a road trip" variety, but everything else that has happened sure does look like that.

[Cubswin11]

This game is setting up for a nice fake rally in the 9th

Considering I took the over on 10.5 for this game I wouldn't hate it...

 

Also, while that was a BS last strike, that was still probably Kimbrel's most efficient outing as a Cub?

[Cubswin11]

Frustrating game but overall good series win and good road trip. Hopefully Happ is okay. Go win at least 2 but 3+ would be preferred vs the cardinals.

[Brian707]

Take all 5 vs Stl. Looking at potential 1st round opponents. Cubs would be playing the Marlins

[17 Seconds]

just incapable of putting away a division

[UMFan83]

Completely forgot this was an afternoon game but it looks like it was a good thing I missed it.

 

-Caught stealing twice

-2 GIDPs

-0 runs scored in a bases loaded, 1 out situation in the 6th

-0 runs scored in a 1st and 3rd, 0 outs situation in the 3rd

-3 hit inning with 0 runs scored due to one of those caught stealings

-5 of the 6 Pirate runs scored with 2 outs

 

I'm infuriated just reading the PBP

[Derwood]

Baez joins Bryant in the “below .200 club”.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Bryant is a 3 outcome player ATM
