Szczur is the king of walk off errors -
What are they saving Rondon for?
-
who is left in the pen that's actually available? Just Rondon? Let's make it moot and win it here
-
and of course Bryant possibly could have won it a pitch later
-
Epic fail
-
Bryan Price does not agree with this decision to pitch Davis here.
-
Miggy! I feel like his back is fucked up again...the last 2 HR trots I've seen from him he looks like he's laboring around the bases. Edit: NM it was a leg injury
-
This is one of those 'observations that is definitely wrong but I cant help myself' I feel like whenever the wind is blowing way in, the opponents still seem to find a way to hit HRs more often than we do.

[expletive] why are they using that bum Edwards, is Maddon just giving up?
-
- they still play 7 consecutive days after this one so if all the games are close and the SPs keep leaving in the 5th/6th, they're going to be using suboptimal 7th inning guys - Uehara should be off limits having pitched yesterday - Rondon and Davis have both pitched in 2 of 3 games and would rather not be used if you can help it - by the 7th inning Montgomery is gonna be thought of as a long reliever to protect the pen in extras That leaves Grimm/Strop/Edwards as a pretty logical progression if you can get away with it, although the circumstances might change this slightly. It's pretty clear that Joe is basically punting today though, he could've started Contreras and could've used Montgomery for 1+ inning instead of Duensing. I'm going to have to give you a warning for using logic in the Game Thread Forum.

So Double (essentially), Walk, strikeout, Single, Walk Great outing Grimmer
-
Edwards, Strop, Rondon, Montgomery, Davis, Uehara all pretty good relievers and we use Grimm in the 7th inning of a tie game.
-
Lackey followed by Duensing followed by Grimm is just asking for trouble.
-
Steven Wright, most recently seen losing to the Cubs, is out for the year with a knee injury apparently. https://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/1290579?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

Schwarber got a little Javy 2014 vibe to him right now.
-
Can't we ever have a horsefeathering 1-2-3 inning?
-
thats a grand slam on a day with better hitting conditions
-
KB might have been able to go home there but he probably just assumes he will homer at some point to make up the run.
-
Live look at Wrigley:
-
That lineup is probably better than 25 teams normal lineup.
-
Hahaha I love that. "You guys fucked up because you might have acquired 2 good QBs. You bums!"
-
You know he's actually the last Cubs starter to pitch a clean 1st inning as well.
-
This first inning thing is one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen in baseball.
-
Look I don't expect anything of substance in these types of press conferences from any team's front office, but what GarPax have said is such thinly disguised [expletive] and a whole lot of talking in circles. No one is buying this bullcrap about keeping financial flexibility and Fred showing growth, etc.
-
I don't know why I bother tuning into these press conferences.
