5/23 - Cubs (Zach) vs. Cards (Wainwright) - ESPN

[Derwood]

This umpire's strike zone is a joke

[Gilby]

Kind of an important game for May.

 

In a season where the bats might have turned a corner of sorts and the bullpen looks fantastic, and when Darvish just tossed 7 strong innings amid his great season, we are turning to Zach Davies instead. Thanks Tom!

[Cubfanintheknow]

Man, A-Rod is an insufferable b!tch. The guy keeps getting worse. I don't know how Vasgersian can work with the guy.

[Gilby]

Miss a horsefeathering bat for once. Busch Stadium is saving him

[Andy]

This ump is slobbering Wainwright and Molina's collective knob even more than the broadcast team is

[squally1313]

This is just an incredibly unpleasant experience all around right now.

[CubinNY]

I’m guessing this has to be close to the record for the oldest battery ever between Molina and Wainwright.

[Derwood]

Sure, give Wainwright an extra 3 inches on all sides of the zone. That's fair

[Derwood]

I’m guessing this has to be close to the record for the oldest battery ever between Molina and Wainwright.

 

Jeff Fassero plus any catcher over 30 beats anything else

[UMFan83]

I feel like there was a 2 or so year period where we teed off on Wainwright but every other season he just shuts us down with ease.

[Schwarber Fan]

I hate that this dinosaur always shuts us down.

[OleMissCub]

Good lord, A-Rod, Wainwright isn’t even remotely a HOF candidate.

[Derwood]

Good lord, A-Rod, Wainwright isn’t even remotely a HOF candidate.

 

A-Rod has quickly devolved into the Jon Gruden of baseball color analysts

[muntjack]

This is torture. I'd hesitate to show a live feed of the booth right now, because they are likely all slathered in oil, rolling on the floor as they talk about the masterful hand of Adam Wainwright

Assume you meant Jamie Moyer?

[Schwarber Fan]

Cubs are so bad at deciding when to challenge. There’s no way this gets overturned.

I did indeed, knew I got that wrong

[NonProfitCow]

Jesse Orosco at 46 was on a Twins team with a 38 YO backup catcher and a Yankee team with a 32 YO starter and 35 YO backup

Phil Niekro was 48 and played with a 37 year old catcher.

[Schwarber Fan]

In what stupid way will we lose this game?

[Derwood]

In what stupid way will we lose this game?

 

Undoubtedly the runner-on-second rule in extras will come into play

[UMFan83]

This Sosa dude has been really annoying all series

[Schwarber Fan]

Ah, so this is how.

[Schwarber Fan]

Game over unless that’s reviewed and reversed.

[Schwarber Fan]

He’s out!

[CubinNY]

Gift game.
