IST: Cubs @ Nationals

[Grizzly]

Sure hope we get a couple runs here. Hammel deserves better.

Hammel was terrific today. Standing toe to toe with Strasburg at Nats park is outstanding.

Montero and Ross call and frame a much better game. The Cubs have a historic staff at this moment. You do not mess up that mojo.

Let them call the game from the bench. The pitchers will get over the framing after watching him hit.

and I still cant get the game cause they want 49.00 and my credit card

The Cubs specifically value pitch framing. Its why they traded for Montero and got rid of Castillo.

Pay the man. Its on MLB network ya trolling egg scramble.

Of course I jest, I know the importance of what their catchers bring to the table. But it would be fun.

I already pay for it via Dish. The game is on WGN today not MLB

Great, now Heyward is popping up to the 2nd baseman.

He will be up in September or if Montero or Ross get hurt for an extended period.

 

[SilenceS]

Zobrist not getting the bunt down really hurt. Double play and a pop up.

Seriously, how bad can Contreras be at catching in triple A that he's not up here?

If the team was struggling as a whole offensively, then yea id be wanting him up now..
But
Montero and Ross main purpose on this team is how they call games and catch , whatever you get offensively is a bonus

Except Montero couldn't throw out BearsBud

Strop gives up the gopher ball.

You want to know how good the Cubs are this year. Drew gets a curtain call for hitting the go ahead home run in the 8th in June. lol

 

[chibears55]

I dont think bosio told strop to challenge him with a fastball and see how far he can hit it..

Damn, i hate wasting good starting pitching

Cant score and bullpen gives up the lead late

Kind of feel like we gave this one away. Strasburg was hittable today and we let him off the hook.

 

[Omeletpants]

I have never trusted Strop. If he disappeared I would be ok

 

[DanTown]

give up a HR to Stephen Drew is just a weird way to lose a baseball game

Strop has been terrific for two years trolling Ommy.

Late inning heroics? Anyone????
