6/5 Cubs score first again

Top of 4 - is this where Steele blows up?

[We Got The Whole 9]

We tend to get an early run vs Wainwright and then we're sitting in the 7th with that lone run on the board

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Good thinking Nico, clearly hitting the ball right on the screws isn't working, time to deploy the bloops

[Andy]

Good God Schwindel. At least 1 run directly pinned on his frying pan at first base

[Derwood]

Schwindel has never scooped a ball at first in his life

Wisdom probably shouldn’t have thrown that ball either so he gets a bit of blame.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Schwindel is worse at 1B than everyone thought Schwarber was at the outfield, which is really saying something

[Bertz]

I assume the bullpen is sufficiently shredded that even though it's a tie game Ross is trying to have Steele and Espinoza pitch the entire game?

I would assume with the off day tomorrow that a couple other guys are probably fine to go, like Effross and the lefties, but Wick/Givens/Robertson threw so many yesterday I think they have to be down.

[Derwood]

That was an insane throw from right field

I mean it was an accurate throw on a one hop single that Wisdom(not a speedster) couldn't leave off the bat due to the shifted infielder. Good play but honestly one that you hope every OF makes in that situation.

It was a rope that ended up right on the runner. You don't see throws that accurate very often

[UMFan83]

Leadoff triple is probably not the best way to start the 9th with a 1 run lead

It’s fine. Molina’s never gotten a big hit against us.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Now that was a horsefeathers pitch

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I am going to become the joker

 

[OleMissCub]

Nootbaar’s hometown fans on Tattoine just went wild

[soccer10k]

9-1-2 coming up in the bottom half.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Wick shouldn’t have gone after 38 pitches yesterday.

 

Should’ve just tested Espinoza while he’s here.

[Irrelevant Dude]

The Cubs have to lead the league in lost leads and I would be surprised if there is even be a close second.

[We Got The Whole 9]

I would have preferred a couple of chase pitches to Nootbar and surrendering the walk wouldn't have been the worst thing either

[itisallpartoftheplan]

9-1-2 coming up in the bottom half.

 

If we don’t score in the 9th it’s ok… Cardinals have Goldschmidt, Arenado, and Gorman due up in the 10th.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Morel gets jobbed on 2 horsefeathering pitches

[Transmogrified Tiger]

lol come on man, what are these strikes all of a sudden
