Ok once again I still haven’t seen the play but there was a runner on first and he got to 3rd so it
Must not have been played that great for the runner to advance to 3rd on it. Sounds like Contreras over ran it and the ball ended up behind him because if he damn near caught it and kept it in front of him you would think the runner at 1st only would have been able to advance to 2nd seeing that he would have to wait to see if it was gonna be caught and the cubs might actually have won the game if it was just runners at 1st and 2nd there with one out instead of 2nd and 3rd

After seeing the video. He goes to 1B. Gets the out. That sac fly is negated and he has to get a hit.
But Kimbrel has to control that inning better. Strike outs are sexy.

He was on a full sprint and stabbed at the ball. The ball landed behind his glove. His momentum was going away from the ball. Russell recovered the ball. Its why the ball was hard to catch. He ran a mile. Stop trying to spin it.

There was absolutely no reason to go home. He even hesitated and still went home

Also, people seem to keep forgetting. The ball wasnt caught because the Cubs were playing no doubles. Why were they playing no doubles? Kimbrel walked a contact hitter when he was ahead in the at bat. The walk set everything up. It was a collective **** fest.

On a ball not hit hard that you're not charging, it's baseball 201 to get the out at first if you're playing 2B. Maybe on the right side, where the runner is hesitating, you have a chance but on a ground ball to the right side knowing the IF is back, you're never getting that runner. Also, if your manager wanted to get the out at home, you wouldn't be playing back.
It's simply inexcusable to make that play. And to then say after that you didn't feel you made a mistake? No. *****, I know what you thought and you thought wrong.

We'll get the statcast data tomorrow but I don't believe that ball has a super high probability of being caught considering where he started. His athleticism to even get near the ball actually hurt him because the expectation is that he should have caught it. That's a really good catch either way; you'd like to see him make the catch but off the bat that screamed trouble. This isn't like Kyle the other day playing a routine out into a double.

Yes, I believe Heyward catches it and Almora. Almora doesnt play right. I believe Bryant is maybe 50/50. It was a tough play.

He wasn’t signed with the expectation he’d strike everyone out.
And if people thought a guy who has been out until June would be at his career best Day One they need a reality check and some patience.
Kimbrel was not striking out the side, but he got three outs in four hitters. He can’t pitch and play RF.

Meanwhile the cards just got 5 in the 9th at Seattle after trailing 2-0
Going into the 9th. Hell cubs might be in last after Sunday in the division or tied for last

You are blaming things that had nothing to do with it.

Bet he would have struck out the side if he was facing our guys lol. High fastballs and knuckle curves in the dirt would have done the trick
