Diamondbacks (Nelson, 6 - 6, 4.98 ERA) vs. Cubs (Steele, 2-3, 2.71 ERA) 1:20 CDT

[JHBulls]

Batter hits a baseball to the outfield, takes an aggressive turn around 1st - Seiya: “Do I throw the baseball to 1st base and hope the base runner doesn’t run to 2nd as he’s already running to 2nd or throw the baseball to 2nd base and the base runner would have no other choice but to go back to 1st base?”.

Seiya: “First base it is…”

Welcome back to Cubs baseball.

Wesi will put out the fire

In his defense English is his secondary language

From April 29th to May 6th he hit 5 home runs. Is Girardi wrong?

I very much doubt Joe had that stat right there in front of him. More an off the cuff comment like “Morel is that guy.”. He hasn’t been that guy this year.

another game they are not getting back

Last year from May 14th to May 21st he hit 6 home runs. Is he not that guy or are you just wrong and trying to find another reason to dog Morel. I'm pretty sure anyone that has watched him since he has been called up understands that he is a very streaky hitter, but when he is on he is on fire.

Pulling Steele at 70 pitches his last start really kept him sharp for this start

[KCCub]

I miss the allstar break

He did fully stop and move back toward first and as he saw Seiya turn his shoulders to throw behind him he started going to second again.  Bad play by Seiya regardless though.

Okay, fair enough. All anyone on here wants is for Morel to do well.

What’s the biggest comeback victory this team has had this season?

[Cubs206]

Picking up right where they left off I see 

[Irrelevant Dude]

PCA swinging through multiple hittable fastballs in the zone makes me sad.

[Crusader]

And umpire takes them out of the inning.

[Irrelevant Dude]

This home plate umpire has had a massive impact on the game.

[731.4life]

Baseball Gods got to Morel there. Got on board in the 4th inning from walk on a 3-2 pitch, that was a strike. Now he struck out on a pitch that was a ball. Feel bad for him.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Why are you swinging at that on 2-0, Miles?

[gflore34]

Why did Mastrobuoni swing?  Despite the calls by the umpire, Thompson hasn't thrown too many strikes, no reason to swing at all.

Removing these clowns from the ball-strike determination equation cannot happen soon enough.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Well, those two innings were uninspiring.

[Eeyore]

I/we waited since Sunday for that

[Max Power]

For a second there, I thought Counsell was going to show a pulse.

I thought wrong.
