NL Wild Card Thread - Rockies @ Cubs

[Obscure Name]

Boo.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Damn, that was a lazy play.

 

[barbed wire Bob]

that was disappointing.

 

[LynnRice75]

You’ve got to take a pitch or two in hopes of a walk or past ball.... sigh. Least there are non Sox teams with questionable moves.

 

[ponch73]

Nice job, Dahl. Way to conserve your energy for the bottom half of the inning.

 

[The Filthy One]

The ump’s zone has been all over the place. Take a pitch and see what happens dude.

 

[BornToRun]

Hanging breaking ball hit over the wall sound about right?

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Hanging breaking ball hit over the wall sound about right?

or batting practice fastball

 

[ponch73]

Hanging breaking ball hit over the wall sound about right?

Yup. And then Baez will tear his bicep flexing in jubilation.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Now the bunt.

 

[soxhop411]

Here comes a walk off doubloon

 

[LynnRice75]

Every cubs player acts cocky

 

[shawnrbu]

Hamels is going to pitch 14 innings?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

This feels like a Cubs squander coming up

 

[ponch73]

Oh has the perfect name for a losing pitcher in extra innings.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

they may have had him if the guy covering 2nd didn't also go to 3rd.

 

[OurF'ingCity]

If Contreras gets a walk off here he is going to spontaneously combust.

 

[LogansDad]

they may have had him if the guy covering 2nd didn't also go to 3rd.

Was thinking the same thing, though Baez likely doesn't go that far off of second if Story stays put, either.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Every cubs player acts cocky

The manager encourages it

 

[BornToRun]

That curve looks so hittable.

 

[FisksFinger]

Contreras re-aggregated the muscle pull from his lead off walk celebration earlier in the game

 

[SoxFanInCali]

The Cubs may be out of players if this goes another inning.

 

[strek1]

Injury could a problem after using everybody.

 

[shawnrbu]

Maddon will have his loogy catch.

 

[shawnrbu]

Why does Ross identify himself as a Cub more than a Red Sox?

 

[trekfan55]

Do they have a catcher on the bench? Don't think so.

 

[ponch73]

Injury could a problem after using everybody.

Still have the backup catcher.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

The Cubs may be out of players if this goes another inning.

Maddonball!

 

[shawnrbu]

Who called time?

 

[trekfan55]

Bullshit timeout.

 

[BornToRun]

Why does Ross identify himself as a Cub more than a Red Sox?

Because he was a better hitter in Chicago and part of a drought ending team. Don’t get me wrong, I’m definitely a little jilted, but I get it. I’ll still always love the Wolf.

 

[ponch73]

Contreras re-aggregated the muscle pull from his lead off walk celebration earlier in the game

That's why Dahl plays the long game. 5 LOB, but no risk of aggravating anything.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

ESPN2 guys missed the timeout

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Why does Ross identify himself as a Cub more than a Red Sox?

Hell, I remember him first coming up as a Dodger.

 

[Obscure Name]

I hate the Cubs.

 

[shawnrbu]

Interference?

 

[LogansDad]

Baez putting his arms around him doesn't qualify as interference?

 

[shawnrbu]

Play the game under protest.

 

[BornToRun]

This would be hilarious.

 

[reggiecleveland]

Why not turn 2?

 

[Obscure Name]

That should be a double play.

 

[soxin6]

That is interference and the inning should be over.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Baez should be flagged for holding

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Why the hell is he not trying to go to first?

If he makes any effort at all to throw, it's interference.

 

[LogansDad]

How can he attempt when he's being hugged?

 

[brandonchristensen]

I hate Matt Vasgersian because I play MLB The Show and hear him enough there.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

I hate the Cubs.

This guy gets it

 

[reggiecleveland]

That was worse than Middlebrooks

 

[strek1]

Why not turn 2?

He didn't have time after Baez stopped dead.

 

[ifmanis5]

ARod on runners doing weird things in big games.
