  1. Damn. Carpenter up, no where to put him and a pitcher that is having a lot of trouble throwing strikes
  2. I literally cannot not make a big deal out of a Cubs cardinals game. That's why I have to keep reminding myself of the stakes every 30 seconds
  3. If you ever get frustrated with this team for any reason, pause this video at 35 seconds. Ski I suggest you run it on loop 24 hours a day
  4. horsefeathers I totally forgot we had Edwards available. Joe wants him to avoid him pitching 2 nights in a row so badly that he's going to bring Lackey in and screw up his rotation. Wait 12 game lead chill the f out umfan
  5. Oh God Lackey up. With his recent 1st inning struggles this should be interesting
  6. Cubs are 3-16 with RISP tonight. Those 3 hits were an IF single, Coughlans big hit and a bunt single
  7. See Jason if you hit a weak grounder hit it there
  8. Not the optimal result when he was trying to walk you
  9. He hit a walk off against the Cardinals in 2013
  10. Yes but were talking about 1 spot in the order (7th vs 8th) measured against having Willsons bat in the 9th vs David Ross against a tough righty 6th vs 7th, which takes the possibility of him coming up with a scoring situation this inning completely out of the equation. Think it's 7th vs 8th since Heyward is in the game unless you were talking about how many spots away the pitchers spot was
  11. Tough [expletive], you threw 3 pitches and we only have one other pitcher in the pen that's available. Be a team player. What are you going to do, go into the clubhouse and fire off your gun in protest? Sometimes you just don't treat every game like it's game 7 of the world series. Yeah the game doesn't matter much but we gave up a big price for a rental and he won't come back into the game after throwing 3 pitches? Seems like a low risk move
  12. Yeah I thought about that but we're talking about 1 spot in the order Given that it's still about 92 degrees with a ton of humidity, maybe it's just Maddon getting Ross out of the game? Like you and the announcers said, going to Montgomery is the move you make when you're up 12 games Again if you are getting Ross out of the game, why does he take the AB against a tough righty. no matter how bad Willson is struggling he's going to be a better choice to hit there than Ross against a righty
  13. Wasn't it probably just a double switch to put Montgomery in that spot? Yes but were talking about 1 spot in the order (7th vs 8th) measured against having Willsons bat in the 9th vs David Ross against a tough righty
  14. Tough horsefeathers, you threw 3 pitches and we only have one other pitcher in the pen that's available. Be a team player. What are you going to do, go into the clubhouse and fire off your gun in protest?
  15. Geez Hazelbacker isn't back playing independent league ball yet?
  16. Not sure but Lance Berkman did it in 2004 when he was with the Astros
  17. I think Chapman talked his way out of a 2nd inning, so Contreras is coming on to move Montgomery as low as possible in the order. Yeah I thought about that but we're talking about 1 spot in the order
  18. I actually think the Contreras in for D thing is more perplexing than Chapman. If you were going to take Ross out of the game why not let the better offensive player take the AB in the bottom of the 9th of a tie game
  19. We used Chapman for 3 horsefeathering pitches AND CONTRERAS COMES ON FOR DEFENSE after Ross struck out in a terrible matchup? what the horsefeathers is going on Joe Wait up 12 games chill out this doesn't matter that much
