9/12 - Cubs (Assad) vs Rockies (Flexen): 7:40pm, Marquee

[Andy]

Little making sure not to get into the circle of trust

[UMFan83]

Fwiw Assad probably deserved to give up at least 2 runs in the first 3 innings so giving up 4 in 3.1 IP feels about fair for him even if those were weak hits

DBacks lost

 Marlins lost

Brewers won

Phillies down 7-6 bot 10

Giants losing

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Madrigal looked extremely safe in real time and that replay certainly didn't dissuade me of that notion

[Irrelevant Dude]

Please Pat, don't encourage Sutcliffe by asking questions.  

[abuck1220]

second day in a row the phillies hit a dramatic game tying 9th inning hr only to lose in the 10th lol. 

[Irrelevant Dude]

Looks 100% safe to me.

[Andy]

The angle from behind the base showed that he was safe

[Irrelevant Dude]

Oh, so now we decide to enforce the clear and convincing evidence part of the rule.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I really hate when I agree with Sutcliffe

[squally1313]

I’m so tired of basepath outs. 

[Soul]

The guy who can see says no man, stop.  The guy who can’t see says nah, I’m sure it will be fine.

I absolutely thought that view showed he was clearly safe.  Stupid to run, yes, but he was safe.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Sutcliffe hadn't even finished his sentence about lost runs on the basepaths before endorsing stealing 2nd with Nico

[Brian707]

No reason to stretch that into a triple.  This game is annoying today so far

If we banned all talk of the actual game in this thread and just talked about how stupid Sutcliffe is, engagement would not decline

[abuck1220]

on the bright side, I don’t blame ross for any of this trash. 

[squally1313]

There is absolutely no evidence that boxberger will provide anything of value this year, but….someone’s got to pitch I guess. 

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Head first slide and Madrigal is safe easy. That slide was so slow and frustrating that we’ve been out on the basepaths 3 times giving away 3 outs to a horsefeathers pitcher/team.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Breaking news!  If the Cubs hadn't made a run in July, they might have been sellers.

Sutcliffe must have some real connections.

[squally1313]

Swanson has been really encouraging.
 

Need more than 2 runs, giving up 4 through 5 with a back of the rotation starter here isn’t some huge disaster. 

[Derwood]

This strikezone keeps growing

[Derwood]

Ok, I'll take some oppo power from Seiya

[squally1313]

Well that was quick 

[Transmogrified Tiger]

we were talking a few weeks ago about the faint odds of Suzuki having a 130 wRC+ season by the end of his contract and he might get there this season
