Series Thread: Cubs at Tigers

[UMFan83]

I was gonna just keep posting in the Indians game thread for laughs but couldn’t help myself

 

Cubs up 4-0 in the first game of the series

[Schwarber Fan]

Arrieta finding a way once again. Good to see.

[Derwood]

Joc Pederson: somehow hitting .268

Joc Pederson: somehow hitting .268

I saw that and was thinking the same thing

[muntjack]

Four 3-hit games in a week goes has made up a lot of ground.

[Bertz]

Hot Damn Craig

His SLG is still lower than his OBP. Needs to find that power again

[abuck1220]

I think I’ve seen all I need to see out of trevor williams.

[muntjack]

Good lord, the bottom of this lineup is a time machine back to 2013.

[UMFan83]

I think I’ve seen all I need to see out of trevor williams.

 

I’m running out of patience too. Whatever they thought they could fix...hasn’t worked. It’s still only mid-May but he’s not showing progress.

[UMFan83]

Never expected to get anything close to this level of production out of Duffy.

 

And I realize his OPS is in the low-.600s but he seems to actually get horsefeathers done in key spots. SSS though

[UMFan83]

Lol this could be a brutal inning. 2nd and 3rd 0 outs and a run in already

[Rex Buckingham]

Think they'll be able to get anything for Duffy at the deadline?

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Sogard and Duffy both with take the lead homers this week. Finally showing off their muscles.

[UMFan83]

Perfectly placed single

Bloop single

Walk

Infield single perfectly placed. Damn you BABIP gods

[Irrelevant Dude]

Make this stupid extra innings BS stop.

[UMFan83]

And we lose

[Derwood]

This extra inning rule is simply the dumbest thing ever. So many teams winning games on the cheap

[Schwarber Fan]

Manfred is a clown’s clown.

He probably thinks this new rule is a rousing success

There doesn't seem to be any opposition to it, except from the fans, which won't matter.

[Schwarber Fan]

Has anyone asked the players?? I can’t imagine pitchers are too fond of it.

[17 Seconds]

it's always the rule's fault when the cubs blow it, huh. they didnt even lose on the free runner, they lost on the 2nd run.

the only opposition I ever see from the fans is right after their team loses in extra innings

 

maybe kimbrel should have just not given up the legitimate run after the first one

Not true. Win or lose, the rule sucks.
