9/10 Cubs (Alzolay) vs Reds (Gray) 7:15 MSN

[Irrelevant Dude]

Coming up on 3 hours and the game is still in the 6th inning. How's that game time initiative coming along?

We may have something in Adam here

Billy comes in and gets thrown out attempting to steal on the first pitch.

 

Happ immediately proceeds to strike out on three pitches for the 10th time in 13 ABs this series.

Ross is a [expletive] moron. Pinch running Hamilton for Nico there is so insane, for one the speed upgrade is marginal. You have a comfy but not huge lead, you don’t need to steal and now you just made the defense worse and have a terrible player in the game. Edited September 11, 2020 by Cubswin11

And then Happ completes the golden sombrero.

replay is worthless

He didn’t squeeze his glove but that was definitely a transfer. Then the ump missed an easy strike 3.

While this is true, as Len said, Javy probably should have just made sure they got one out.

[Cubswin11]

Vargas bobbled and cost any chance at a double play (why the horsefeathers is he in, Ross you horsefeathering idiot). But Javy tried to do way too much there, just make sure you catch it and get an out up 4.

[Brian]

wow thanks Shogo even though you should have been rung up

[soccer10k]

Big out at second there. Don’t worry about he runner on third and get out of the inning at 7-5.

[Brian]

Winkler is definitely Ross' guy that he has way too much confidence in for some unknown reason

[Brian]

is anybody going to tell Demp that Winker is on the Reds and the Cubs pitcher is Winkler?

He’s got a sub-3 ERA coming into today. Nevermind the 5.74 FIP and the 6.6 BB/9.

I have serious concerns about Ross and his ability to manage. I mean someone has said that about every manager ever but these are some really bizarre decisions he’s making.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

That was CRUSHED. Thank you ball for popping out of the ivy.

[Brian]

that insurance is much appreciated

[We Got The Whole 9]

Winkler got screwed pretty hard that inning by the ump and Javy

 

[Brian]

Willson please fix your teammates with whatever you did

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Contreras needs to be batting where Baez is. Baez can go after Heyward or lower.

[Brian]

good riddance Reds

Yeah I’d go Rizzo/Willy/Happ/KB/Heyward top 5 this weekend I think. Javy is a lost cause, he even admitted not having access to video is screwing with him so there’s reason to think he isn’t getting hot and normal anytime soon. Bat him 6-9 somewhere. If you squint you can see KB coming around a little, worked a nice walk and hit one of the singles pretty hard tonight.

Well that was a nice comeback win against a pretty good pitcher.

[17 Seconds]

that's a pretty good win

[soccer10k]

Good win. Now go get 2 of 3 against Milwaukee this weekend.

 

And if the Reds want to take a couple from the Cards, even better.
