IST: Cubs @ Rockies

[chibears55]

Joe determines that the minor league guy must be better than his major league players, so plays him tonight. He rotates his 3rd baseman to RF and removes his best OF defender in the league's biggest OF.

Stop overthinking it, Joe.

Kid from Colorado...
Giving him his opportunity to play in front of family and friends ..

Well, that's a perfectly good reason to not field our best lineup.

Next we'll say Joe is resting the guys who have had 5 rainouts in three weeks.

He needs to stop dropping that shoulder like he does. He'll get hot before too long, hopefully.

Almora running it down...

You know he was going to sit the lefties against the LHer..
Zobrist would of been in RF if he wasnt on DL, instead he playing the kid at 3B and has Bryant in RF

Kid got a double so far

Cubs better start knocking in some more runs, 2 not going to be enough in Coors..
Rockies bound to put an inning together and score a couple

16 runs Friday.

First two batters score Saturday.

Down 3-2.

Suddenly the calls in the first looking bigger than ever. Rizzo called out on ball 4, followed by HR by Contreras called a double. The ball by Contreras would have had to hit BELOW the yellow to not be a HR. Replay kept focusing on whether the glove touched it, but if not, it sure seems it had to have hit the yellow padding.

Oh well. Score some more runs!!

 

[TL1961]

OK, Yu. Don't turn this into a fucking 6 run inning!!

Wow. No love on that 0-2. But he just fell apart AGAIN.

I said I'd rather have Arrieta all along. Of course his reported contract demands were ridiculous which certainly didn't help.

 

[TL1961]

Happ has some of the worst at bats you'll see.

Sometimes he just looks like he wants to get it over, as opposed to having a mindset of making every at bat count.

IYO at what point should we be concerned?

I know Jake is on the decline, and I still wanted him back if $ could get reasonable. But he made up his mind in 2016 he was getting big bucks and never changed. Until he finally signed for a fraction of what Boras convinced him he would get.

Right. I wonder if he has any regrets now.

Schwarber as a defensive replacement......what a joke

 

[TL1961]

It doesn't matter. We're down late. It's over.

18 runs in 10 innings, and we are 1-1 in the series if we don't get a surprise in the last two innings.
