WTF baserunning today

Montero, now Russell

Come on guys

Cubs never do well vs Burnett. It’s annoying.

Rehab... physical therapy. ..

You dont just come out of a cast after surgery and pick up a bat.. he needs to strengthen, etc the wrist, arm , shoulder
Everything he hasnt used since the surgery. ..

I strongly doubt you need 3 weeks of rehab for a hairline fracture that only cost you a month. Also, not saying he's going to go out and start playing a game a day. But almost assuredly he can get some work in the batting cage. I'm willing to bet you'll see him in AA sooner rather than later.

On the game cast they were talking about a game from 67 between the cubs and phillies that was 23-22 with a crap ton of hits.

Are you people not old enough to remember that?

Mike Schmidt with 4 HR's.

It was 1979

58 pitches for Arreita through 4. Guessing he'll go 7 which would be nice.

OT: Shelby Miller just lost a no-no with 2 outs in the 9th. Bummer. Nice job, kid.

Heyward has been decent but starting to look like the Cards might have lost that trade. Imagine that the cardinals losing a trade for once in seemingly a decade.

 

[chibears55]

Be nice to get a 2 run homer by castro or long overdue soler

 

[DaBullsDaCubsDaHawksDitka]

Soler needs a hit here for confidence. Struggled with RISP. Huge spot

 

[TL1961]

The first called strike to Soler was a bad call.

The second one was absolutely ridiculous!!

 

[DaBullsDaCubsDaHawksDitka]

Soler getting fucking pinched here.

 

[DaBullsDaCubsDaHawksDitka]

That should just be strike 1 but still Jorge as been awful with RISP this year.

 

[TL1961]

He just struck out without swinging the bat, and without the ball crossing the plate.

That was outrageous.

Heyward can't hit and has made base running errors when on. Just this week he was involved in triple play running on a line drive, and yesterday failed to score from second base on a ball off the wall.

Cards fans are trying to convince themselves that RF defense makes up for it, but that's crazy.

 

[chibears55]

Gotta be frustrating for soler to recognize bad pitches but have pitchers get strikes called low n away. .

That opportunity was wasted. .
Make it worse i turn on hawks and their losing 1 nothing now

The problem is when Soler faces Burnett again in this game he's going have to swing at balls that he legitimately can't do anything with. Awfully tough on a young hitter struggling to find a groove.

@Cubs: .@KrisBryant_23 left today's game because he was under the weather.

 

[DaBullsDaCubsDaHawksDitka]

Crap now Bryant is out of the game. Hope it’s just a little dehydration today and nothing serious
