7/26 Why is Craig Kimbrel in this game

[mias_tisg]

What in the world are the Cubs doing using Kimbrel in a non-save situation. Someone please take Ross' duties away ASAP.

Right thing to do to use your closer in this situation.

 

Wrong thing to do when we're trying to trade Kimbrel.

This is dumb

Bye Craig, I love you

 

Come on, one more walkoff with the championship core please

No walkoff Dongs this season. Let’s do it!

[Irrelevant Dude]

Too many pitches, too much risk. But at least he struck out the side and got the ERA down to 0.49. Now shut him down.

[d_money]

It's always nice to see an offense open the inning with a walk

 

Less when the next guy makes an out on the first pitch

It’s the Cub Way binder, I believe in chapter 4, pg. 42, 3rd paragraph.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Tim]

That was a perfect ending

[sweetpeteman]

Oh my tomorrow's going to be a thing

[UMFan83]

Extend that man

[Rex Buckingham]

Javy is absolutely getting thrown at tomorrow, isn't he?

[Brian]

Amir Garrett will punch Javy before their careers are over

[UMFan83]

Honestly I know we had a no hitter and some cool comebacks and stuff but that was the highlight of the season

[squally1313]

Why am I still up watching this, I asked myself.

 

Javy.

[ChiCubsFan]

Hahahaha. I’m not watching another Cubs game till after the deadline. Gonna allow myself to have that as my final memory of the core.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Question about that last play...

 

It took Javy a looong time to touch first base. If the second runner had crossed home plate, which I couldn't tell if he did, would the final score have been 7-5?

 

I don't think I've ever seen that happen in a walk off scenario. (Yes, I bet the -1.5)

[soccer10k]

Oh my god that might be my favorite walkoff ever. Just glorious.

[PackLandVA]

Can a player or coach touch a player who is on his way to a base, i.e.- one of the players 'pushed" Javy to first base saying, "Go, go!"?? Is this something that the Reds can protest? Didn't think you were allowed to touch a player who was in play and Javy hadn't yet made it to first.

Thom Brennaman is not happy

Thom Brennaman is not happy

 

The one time I wish he was calling the game

[Andy]

Very glad I stayed up to see that. Heartwarming stuff.

[CubinNY]

Just watched. Glorious!

[Sammy Sofa]

Kinda great how the NL Central has maybe become the saltiest division in baseball. Buncha shitty teams just constantly taking out their frustrations on each other.

[Tryptamine]

I'd have thought that was a little over the top even for Javy if it wasn't against Amir Garret who is a supreme douche.
