IST: Cubs vs. Giants

[TL1961]

Good grief. Stella gets to play and immediately fucks up. Down to Bum before he takes the mound.

Guy was in frickin' AA and as soon as recalled Joe feels the need to start him.

Brilliant catch from Zobrist

 

[Mr. Cub]

Willson! We better get him in with no outs.

So, Joe is taking the whole "Dont be a fan" to the extreme. lol

No lefties today. Not one. Rizzo and Heyward are out against Bum.

Think it was Brenly who said this when he was with Cubs

Always good to add one or two opposite hitters in lineup
(having one or two lefties against bum for today )
Because you don't want a starter to be able to focus on just one side of the plate throughout game and be able to get comfortable there..You want to make him go back n forth.

Baez with the hustle! Balls of steel!

 

[Mr. Cub]

Javy my dude! What a nut. Crazy play. Pretty lucky he was safe, or that would be bad.

Soler got his nail cut in time to K on 3 pitches..lol

Contreras is having a hard time with the balls in the dirt today. 2 runs that should have been prevented. Jake looks frustrated. Shift hurts us that inning. Baez and Russell dont communicate. Tough inning

Error and wild pitches/passballs costing Cubs runs today

Arrieta has been very good today but it's been wasted by a shaky defense. You can also see how Contreras still has trouble catching Arrieta's movement and framing the edges and bottom of the zone.

Sucks we didnt get more, but that should knock Bum out the game.

Love to see Cubs steal this one late against their pen

Zero clutch hitting

 

[Omeletpants]

By next year, Contreas will be the best running catcher in baseball

 

[Mr. Cub]

Baez might be out, but he is going balls out today. Can't question his heart.

 

[chibears55]

How can they tell where his fingers were in cloud of dirt

Damn! That was close. Im kind of confused though. You couldnt see his hand get beat. You can assume it, but you cant actually see it with the dirt flying. I thought it had to be indisputable evidence? He was out, but you couldnt actually completely see it.

Tough way to probably lose this game today..

Error scores run
Wild pitch scores run
Single walk single after 2 outs scores run

Offense..

2 fer 8 RISP
9 LOB

Fowler Zobrist Russell 0 fer 10 at top of order
