IST: Cubs @ Pirates (V. Where is Silence)

[TL1961]

How many innings do you see where every out is at home plate?

 

[TL1961]

What is?

Two force outs after bases loaded, no outs. Squibber unintentionally by Almora, followed by the exact same thing, intentionally.
Fortunately, they walked in a run and allowed us to get to Bryant. But those two ABs were awful.

 

[JimJohnson]

I mean, our pitchers can't even lay down a bunt. What are they good at?

Getting paid

 

[TL1961]

I am laughing at the fact Rizzo was considering heading home on the pitch that got away.. Could have been a 4th straight out at home.

Fantastic by Rizzo

GARCIA MEANS THE END OF RUSSELL

 

[TL1961]

Watch your head, David.

I know everyone is upset but **** was this game great for the Cubs. This is how you rejuvenate. Tought loss last night and they came back hungry. We are do for a dominating winning streak,

 

[JimJohnson]

Cubs need to save some runs for the next game.

I would not have minded a little bench clearing today, as the team needed a wake up. At one point we were up 4-3 and had seven extra base hits, including three HRs. At that point, it was beginning to take on that "uh oh" feel.
Glad we got rid of that.

WE NEED THIS MANAGER

Good grief!

If you believe, you can achieve

 

[TL1961]

Before he became a shell of himself, Bryant would not have made an out when we needed insurance runs, up 11-3.

Three extra base hits and three runs today, and suddenly he allows himself to be retired by a major league pitcher.

On the other hand, it was nice that he heeded the advice to "save some runs for the next game". More players should intentionally make outs when they know we need the runs down the road.

(I don't have the Cubs in the 13 run pool, so it works for me.)

So if if Caratini believes that he could play 3B he could achieve it? Accually his jump throw was impressive and he ws drafted as a 3B.

What's the major league record for number of catchers in the lineup at positions other than catcher?

 

[TL1961]

Neither the batter nor the catcher have any idea what the ump's call was on that last pitch.

We call that, "just another day in the world of Joe West".

 

[TL1961]

Robel Garcia will bat in the ninth, needing a double for the cycle.

 

[anotheridiot]

Really surprised it took Joe so long into the season to get thrown out of a game to fire up the team. Surprised nobody thought if it earlier.

 

[RacerX]

Q blows goats. He just gives up hit after hit. Walks, WP, hard hit balls. He fools nobody.

Mentally weaker than Yu, with lesser stuff.

You took it too far.
