9/16 - Cubs (Hendricks) Diamondbacks (Davies): 7:10pm, Marquee

[Rex Buckingham]

Clutch K from Cuas

[Andy]

A nice outing by Cuas. Need some serious run scoring.

[Andy]

Why do we keep running on the best throwing catchers in the game

[Rex Buckingham]

Not sure that was definitive, but ok

[Dfan25]

Keep giving out on the bases . Nice idea 

[Derwood]

Can we somehow bat Swanson 10th in the lineup?

[UMFan83]

purposely not following tonight for my sanity but i caught the score.  Looks like we scored 3 runs on a walk, GIDP and single and outside of that inning have done basically nothing?  Yikes

That's about right

And that inning was Bases loaded, nobody out, with Hoerner coming up

Lately it seems like almost every replay is going against the Cubs.

I have seen Madrigal reach for his helmet twice recently on close calls where he ended up out... this one and the one in Colorado where he was trying for a triple... just let it fly, dude. I don't think he's slowing himself down, but it might be

It's always fun when the umps change how the overturn standard is applied to make sure you're screwed both times

[UMFan83]

Ok that’s the only half inning I’m watching today. Not watching us get walked off or dealing with the drama of extra innings

To be fair, the hitters did have to face the nearly unhittable Kyle Davies.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Now we're at the Merryweather pitches every day until his arm falls off stage of the season

Oh yes, I know, and I was mostly serious. They basically have to ride him as much as they possibly can.

[UMFan83]

Ok I got sucked into watching. I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen the Cubs with so many HR swings.

[UMFan83]

Of course that horsefeathers keeps it on the IF for a fairly unproductive single. At least as far as singles go

[UMFan83]

That’s one way to score

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Hell yeah!!

[UMFan83]

Need 1 more at least to feel any bit comfortable. I don’t care how the second run scores. GIDP is even fine though not optimal

 

edit: oh wait they said it hit his bat?

A good throw probably gets Nico there and completely changes the tone of this inning.  But we'll take it!

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Damn. Please be OK

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Looks like knob

[Andy]

I can't wait for them to not overturn this for no horsefeathers reason at all
