For a foul ball lol

[chibears55]

That was some good pitching against Acuna there..

[UMFan83]

Seems like the wet weather is really affecting Assad

[UMFan83]

5-2

[Tryptamine]

Down to a 3 run lead

[Tryptamine]

Assad getting behind everyone and throwing a lot of non competitive pitches

He’s gotta get pulled. He doesn’t have it

[Derwood]

Can't give these guys free bases

He didn't throw one of those pitches within 6 inches of the zone

I know they don’t want to go to the bullpen but Assad has nothing . This lead will be gone soon if they let him go too long 

[chibears55]

Rain not gonna let up, so just gotta hold this lead through 5, storm gonna get worse.

 

[chibears55]

Maybe the plan for today with the rain situation was to get 3 at least from Assad and then possibly Fulmer for 2+

[Tryptamine]

A bit of a miracle Atlanta has only scored 2 so far

[chibears55]

That was a big DP, now the bats gotta put at least 1 on the board here.

[UMFan83]

This feels like one of those games that if I watch long enough is going to make me angry so going to find some other thing to do this gloomy Saturday afternoon and hope I'm wrong 🙂

LOL great reference

[Tryptamine]

What should have been a walk becomes a pop out 

[Tryptamine]

Another walk robbed 

[WhyCantWeWin]

This umpire horsefeathers sucks

[Tryptamine]

Instead of bases loaded 1 out, a pop out and 2 blown ball 4 to Morel

[Derwood]

Ump sucks, but Cubs need to adjust and swing at that pitch

[Tryptamine]

Assad take advantage of this stupidly low strike zone already.
