9/5 - CHUDS (Old Man Wainwright) vs. COBS (Alzolay) - 4:15p Ricketts Sports Network

[Bote McBoteface]

When was the last time the Cubs actually were good with bags jammed and no outs?..

 

I remember the Cubs loaded the bases with 0 out against the Braves in the 03 NLDS, and my first thought was “oh no, we never do anything with the bases loaded and no out.” My opinion of the Cub’s abilities with the bases loaded has never changed in the 17 seasons between. Although Im sure they were pretty good there in 08 and 16.

 

 

I’m pretty sure Kerry Wood cleared the bases with a 2 out double, though.

Were the Cards playing the infield back for the Souza AB?

 

The sent all the fielders to the bench for some rest.

[UMFan83]

Ok i went and looked it up. There was probably a way to do this more efficiently but whatever...

 

The Cubs have had 6 situations where they’ve loaded the bases and 0 outs this season. Here is how they have done:

 

1-14 with 1 BB and 3 runs scored

 

9/5 vs. STL - 0-3, 0 runs scored

 

8/29 at CIN- 0-2, 1 run scored on sac fly, 1 BB (after the sac fly)

 

8/22 vs. CWS - 0-2, 0 runs scored, GIDP

 

8/21 vs. CWS - 0-2, 0 runs scored, GIDP

 

8/3 vs. KC - 0-2, 1 run scored on sac fly, 1 BB after sac fly

 

7/31 vs. PIT - 1-3, 1 run scored on a single

Soooooo. Rossy is just punting this game now? Tepera doesn't have anything today

[abuck1220]

walks, terrible defense, awful situational hitting, other team getting two out hits. fun game.

[TMan92]

Souza has had a terrific game.

[muntjack]

Lol Happ gonna MVP

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Quick question for those who might know: Has Happ been really good with nobody on base this season and really crappy with runners on?

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Another quick question: Has KB been really crappy this season with runners on base and with runners not on base?

Yes.

It's kind of incredible that we're somewhat comfortably in first place with Bryant, Rizzo and Javy all being aggressively horsefeathering useless

[UMFan83]

What would the Cubs record be if Happ, Darvish and Jeffress were replaced by replacement level players?

That depends. Do we also get to replace Bryant with a replacement level player?

Bryant 3-18 since coming off the DL. His BA has dropped .002 points during that span to show you the kind of year he’s having

[Bertz]

Jason Adam might be a thing. He's been impressive since his most recent recall

[Andy]

BS strike 2 call to Vic, although if Nico had hit that ball with him on base it's probably a DP I guess.

[soccer10k]

Walkoff dong please, Rizzo.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Load the bases then don’t score please.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

We’ll never sweep a double header. Better at least split.

[UMFan83]

Welp, Cubs had all the momentum, had Wainright flustered early and then choked on a bases loaded 0 outs situation and really didn’t do much of anything the rest of the game besides Happ’s HR.

 

Stupid unnecessary loss.

Cubs in the second inning had bases loaded no outs and couldn’t score. Cards have bases loaded one out in the third and get two runs.

 

Margin of victory? 2 runs.

[Bertz]

That sucked, but forcing them to burn Gallegos is big. Woodford and Reyes also probably can't go after last night

[Cubswin11]

Win the second game and who cares

Wow. I mean he probably deserves to be DFAd but there has to be something else that happened to be let go in between games of a doubleheader, unless the Cubs have another guy already at Wrigley
