  1. even the one that worked was highly questionable as it was done with 2 strikes. At the same time, the Cardinals have consistently proven that they have trouble fielding Cubs bunts.
  2. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN200404170.shtml Close, he was at 3B. Eric Cooper behind the plate. too lazy to check...was the alou/sosa back to back game in that same series? and was there some drama with CB in that game? Was the game before
  3. i'm fairly certain that was in fact CBB http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN200404170.shtml Close, he was at 3B. Eric Cooper behind the plate. BTW, Kerry Wood was attempting to finish the game...his last pitch was his 131st
  4. Kerry Wood got ejected in a game and I believe suspended a start for cursing out the ump in a 2004 game. i'm fairly certain that was in fact CBB http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN200404170.shtml Close, he was at 3B. Eric Cooper behind the plate.
  5. Great move? He blatantly cheated. If the correct call was made, Yadi just screwed his team out of a 1st and 3rd opportunity. Pro sports is filled with cheaters. He did something that never gets called and it was a great move. If there was ever a time to make that call, that was it. Couldn't be more blatant.

  7. Jake can qualify for the win. What a laborious 5 innings for Arrieta.

  9. holy horsefeathers I didnt know I could see him as a bigger douchebag but here we are.
  10. This to me is still the gold standard of Cubs-Cardinals games to bitch about: http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN200407200.shtml
  11. OK Jake just give it your best stuff for 2 batters, get out of the inning and let your bullpen win it for you.
  12. Sharp grounder down the 3B line, runner at 2nd originally held but broke for 3rd when LaStella threw to Rizzo. LaStella's throw took Rizzo off the bag so everyone was safe. 1st and 3rd 1 out
  13. Jesus how much bad luck can you have in a single game? Come the hell on.
  14. God, they keep hitting grounders with a runner on first, but they are too slow or too choppy to get 2. More bad luck for Jake.
  15. It's like Jake lost the respect of the umpires with one bad inning. 3 borderline calls that didn't go his way this inning.
  16. without looking it up, it seems he's gone past 100+ pitches too many times this year Only 5 times in 9 starts. And two of those were exactly 100. The other 3 were 119 (no-no), 108 and 111. Yeah they are doing a good job of limiting his outings for sure. But given that he threw almost 100 innings more in 2015 than the previous year, there's a chance that arm fatigue is unavoidable.
  17. The last time Jake gave up 4 runs before today, Donald Trump was not a presidential candidate at the beginning of the day (he announced his candidacy that day).
  18. Thank God. Jake has shown glimpses of not being sharp this year but he's always gotten it together. No doubt some of this is simple bad luck but his control was not there at all that inning. Whenever Jake is less than dominant I'm worried about his arm being fatigued because of last year.
  19. The best way to get over that is to remind yourself of when a team blows a defensive play against the Cubs. AKA rewatch Hammel's 1st inning double from yesterday again.
