Uribe is the biggest cheat code ever

Reminds me a little of Marmol

I'm a little surprised Uribe pitched there, but Murphy appears to be showing respect to the Cubs offense and a lack of respect for the bullpen, which... fair.

Just for the horsefeathers of it, I'll predict he blows a game in the post season.

[JHBulls]

Can Boyd pitch all 9 innings today? I don’t trust anyone in our bullpen not to mess this up. 

[JBears79]

Lead off walk again...

[profisme]

Was expecting bunt

[Soul]

Boyd did great but not liking this.

Worst case scenerio is Zeferjahn coming in with 2 guys on and 0 outs

I would consider that a bad scenario lol

[abuck1220]

horsefeathers walk the 8 hitter, xbh to the 9th hitter. of horsefeathers course.

[UMFan83]

Yep, probably kept him in too long.  Cubs starter has still not gotten an out in the 8th this season...

[JBears79]

Another Craig Counsell masterwork

[Irrelevant Dude]

I don't blame Counsell for trying, but that didn't work.

[chibears55]

And its happening  ....

 

[ILMindState]

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t

Nope

[Soul]

Gee what about all the RISP failures now?

[abuck1220]

wonder if the brewers will blow 2nd and 3rd, less than 2 outs like the cubs did.

[PeanutPunch33]

when he walked the lefty... that was the time to take him out 

[UMFan83]

Gonna take some real luck to not be trailing heading into the 9th

I'm gonna get groundout to the right side that moves the runner to 3rd and then an IF single to score the go ahead run.

He was at 88 pitches thru 7. And the pen is bad. No issue with him riding Boyd in the 8th. Unfortunately it didn’t work. 

[chibears55]

Boyd rolling,  8 n 9 hitter coming up, you hope he can get 1 out at least....

I get it though. Like JD said, that's an easy steal with Boyd out.

Definitely pin this on Craig, Ortiz sucks but Boyd wasn't as crisp, big mistake.
