I always have to chuckle when a pitcher gives up a big hit and then the very first pitch to next batter is hit for an easy third out..

Bats need go get it going again

Wood has been hit or miss.

So why was Soler out of the line up?

They have him on a schedule for precaution with his leg/hamstring

Grimm got the 3rd out.

Rest him against Milwaukee. Play him against the Cards.

I know and he got the third out on the first pitch..

Yea but I think what their doing is resting him on day games after a night game.....

Ugggh Baez Baez Baez.........

I thought you were referring to the pitcher giving up the hit getting the out. Sorry.

Has great tools. But I don't agree with waiting until offseason to have him adjust. He needs to learn to shorten that stroke immediately. Not once it's too late.

He has adjusted at every level, and I am confident he will be fine. But geez-a-lou with the K's already!

NP.. that too, even more when they battle a guy and just cant get that 3rd strike or get him out and the guy homers or get a hit to drive in a couple and then the next hitter swings at 1st pitch and hits an easy grounder or fly ball. Its like damn why couldn't he have made that pitch one pitch before. lol

 

[chibears55]

Let's get some more runs...

Hopefully Ramirez Strop and Rondon can close it down again

 

[TL1961]

Hate to hear this (or hate that we NEED to hear this) during seventh inning stretch all the time, but i will say it now:

"Let's get some runs!"

 

[TL1961]

Walk a batter ahead and will have to face the one guy on their team who is hitting right now.

Don't panic when april and may show no improvement. He doesn't hit in the cold iirc

 

[TL1961]

Give me a fuckin break!

 

[TL1961]

I am so sick and tired of the Cubs just looking beat when the game isn't over!!!!

You have GOT to stop that ball.

 

[chibears55]

Get ahead 0 and 2 on Holliday and then 2 runs later were tied..

 

[chibears55]

Another thing that kills me is when teams score a bunch of runs in first two innings and then struggle the rest of game

Card's idiot announcer is already calling for retaliation in Wrigley.

Yesterday, during Game 1, they called 6 times for hitting batters. And they already hit one today. But Holliday gets hit (on a pitch he started to offer at) and the other guy is the instigator.

Fucking tool!!!

It is especially frustrating against this team, which hasn't been scoring worth a darn.
