5/31 Reds (Ashcraft) @ Cubs (Assad) 1:20 PM CT

[Andy]

This horsefeathers team and their fake rallies.

[Outshined_One]

That was darkly funny. I had flashbacks to 2006 for a hot second there.

[Rex Buckingham]

and because they send our slowest non-catcher on a play he has no chance at scoring on

[Crusader]

Old Nikki no power and no speed.

[s2obed]

horsefeathers Harris waving his hand like a mad man. Guess he forgot Madrigal isn’t fast and who is playing SS for them. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

I can't take this anymore. This team is a horsefeathers show. 

[UMFan83]

Reds improve to 2-11 in one run games this year despite allowing the first 2 hitters to reach, hitting the 3rd batter, giving up a double and then a deepish fly ball

[Rex Buckingham]

fire Willie Harris into the sun

 

[KCCub]

This is a horsefeathers show of an org right now. I don’t know exactly what needs to happen to turn things around, but something has to change. Same horsefeathers different day

lol, Madrigal was out by 20 feet... what a terrible send... why not count on Belli to hit a SF?

Yeah, again especially on De La Cruz's arm. I'm not sure even PCA makes it there. An inexplicably bad send.

[chibears55]

And another loss...

Sinking under 500

[WhyCantWeWin]

This team just does everything poorly, terribly coached 

[UMFan83]

I saw Dansby was caught on the bases today too, was that also at home?

[Dfan25]

Willie Harris war ?  You can add bad 3rd base coach to the list of things wrong with this team . What a dumpster fire Hoyer put together .

Rounding third too far

It's a team with a super aggressive 3B coach, poor baserunning instincts and a sense of desperation during a horrifically bad stretch.

[17 Seconds]

Greene and Lodolo next

He got too aggressive rounding third and got hung up. I suppose you could pin that on Harris, lol

He got to 3rd and rounded the corner as the ball was fielded in the infield and the 2B threw behind him for an easy out. 

 

It's just inexplicable. It's by far the sloppiest base running team that I can recall. They continuously make the most idiotic decisions.

+3.

28-29 vs 25-32 at the same stage in David’s final year. 

In addition, what were other teams record in the Central at the same time?

[Dfan25]

Why on earth was Madrigal hitting for Wisdom if he wasn’t going to bunt ? . Why would you want Madrigal swinging the bat in that spot . . What a dumbass move by Counsell especially with the wind blowing out to LF.

[UMFan83]

Cubs now have 27 outs on the bases this year, leading baseball

-4th most outs at 1B (4)
-2nd most outs at 2B (8)
-3rd most outs at 3B (5)
-Most outs at home (10 - 2 more than any other team)

He rounded third by about 15 feet on a slow ground ball single up the middle by PCA that only a brain dead squirrel would've thrown to first on (and therefore only a brain dead squirrel would've danced around in hopes of scoring on) and India made the easiest assist of his life to get him
