Cubs vs. Kansas City

[chibears55]

Thanks for nothing travis wood.. walk and rbi single

Shouldve left wada in

 

[TL1961]

Score some damn runs

 

[chibears55]

Soler is the biggest key in this lineup as he suppose to be the big run producer in middle of order..

Unfortunately he no where near what he was last year..

200 AB 4 HR 18 RBI 2015
97 AB. 5 HR. 20 RBI 2014

Striking out almost 3Xs more this year

 

[chibears55]

Come on, lets steal a run a squeak out a win here

 

[chibears55]

Ross has a chance here to actually do something positive and help win a game. .
LetsGo

 

[chibears55]

Seriously this guy a waste of space on this team..
Winning run on 3rd, bunting instead of trying to drive ball to OF.. he garbage

 

[chibears55]

That sucked. ...
Ross is garbage and Soler cant make contact if his life depends on it..

Watch royals score 2 or 3 this inning now

 

[JZsportsfan]

Yay we are getting into a bullpen battle against the Royals

Yea and maddon already used up his best 4
Russell, Grimm, Strop, and Rondon along with Wood..

Motte in now...

Jackson and Rosscup left


Not looking good


Ross was best chance to win this game and he up there bunting

It wasn't his decision to bunt. The decision was actually a good one. But Ross' failure to execute a simple play really hurt.

Gee, it's not like Joe Maddon to use up players too early. Bwahahaha.

You know that how ?

If maddon decision. .
First attempt ok, maybe.. 2nd attempt at it not a good idea
Plus it goes to show that Maddon has no confidence in Ross being able to get ball in OF so he has him bunt..


Ross failing to execute just adds to him being useless

 

[chibears55]

That was huge...
Top of order, definitely need to score here

Rosscup and Jackson not going to keep Royals from scoring

 

[chibears55]

Bullshit... hand was on

Shit Ross again. . Here a K or DP

 

[TL1961]

Bullshit... hand was on plate..

Come on Soler, rip one into the OF

He wa sout.

He did everything possible to not score. Slide your feet at the plate, and you're easily safe.

Reach for the plate - and NOT BACKWARDS - and he's easily safe.

 

[chibears55]

That what you get out of a crap player.. a pop up that falls in


Geesh... now lets sweep Miami and get back to winning

 

[TL1961]

Dave - I hit like Diana - Ross wins it with a smash line drive....or weak popup - to left.

 

[JZsportsfan]

Ross caught a lucky break there

I'll take it! Cubs win! Nice to get a split on this series

Hopefully we can take advantage of Miami early in the week and carry that on into the rest of the road trip

Well, nobody who was there is alive to argue that, so I guess it's true! Haha if true, crazy weird indeed.
