Exactly.

ABS makes it so guys can have extra bad abs. like that was a bad ab by conforto made even worse by him not challenging that.

because it's more important to save them for webb

[chibears55]

Buckle up, lets go Webb 

[profisme]

Two challenges left and Conforto doesn’t challenge that strike 3 call. Wtf?

Only thing I can think is that they want to save both just in case for the bottom of the ninth. Means the Cubs can challenge more calls.

worse than not challenging was swinging at the first pitch when ramirez had 2nd stolen. 

[SparkMark1]

That out scared me off the bat.

[squally1313]

If you’re going to swing on 2-0 with the runner going you better at least tie the game. 

[Derwood]

I swear to god if Vargas walks us off

[Soul]

Webb is definitely getting hit hard.  2 outings in a row now.  I wish Palencia was ready to take the closer role but he isn’t.

[abuck1220]

that looked like it was headed to the moon off the bat 

[Hortonhearsawho]

That line drive made me nervous there. 

[Derwood]

I swear to god if this NPC walks us off

Maybe, but is he really thinking about that in that split second,  maybe Amaya hits a 2 run homer

88.6 off the bat there. Looking scary with the tomahawk swing but that was harmless.

2 out no one on is incredibly low leverage. Wouldn’t be surprised if there were some sort of guidance on a spectrum from ‘push your luck’ to ‘you better be 150% sure’

[squally1313]

lol my bad guys 

[soccer10k]

Lol. Bullpen of doom strikes again.

[SparkMark1]

Unbelievable
