Inning was over once Bryant came up with a RISP.

Or the guy before him who couldn't drive in a meaningful run to save his life.

I hear the Cards offered to pay his salary if we'd sign him.

Dear Javy:

Man on 3rd with one out.

A 600 foot HR is NOT required.

I love you, but until you figure that out, you won't be a star.

Eh, Jay has been better than I ever thought he would be.

The reigning MVP who is allergic to RBI's is more troubling IMO.

So we are willing to use MM in real long relief tonight but not start him?

Nobody needs to hear me rag more on Jay, but what does he do better than you expected?

No D. No power. No clutch hits. No RBI. Doesn't score a lot of runs. What the hell do people see? Still fooled by batting aversge ?

Wonder why Bryant has no RBI? Take a look at the leadoff man.

Ok. Back to work for me. Monty is in so all is well. (Assuming we continue to score, and I now believe we will)

See what an upcoming series with a shit cardinal team still hanging around does to me? ��

I was talking about Davis holding at 3rd instead of going on contact when Jay hit ball towards 2nd..

Honestly, I base all my opinions on what I see watching the games. I don't have time to keep up with the #'s. Jay (just hit a RBI double) has actually had some big hits and some spectacular plays in the OF. He's not amazing, but hey.

Bryant doesn't have RBI's because he doesn't hit well with RISP.

Meanwhile, they're both making us look foolish. Cool by me, though.

Don't leave out your hero! Why the fuck would you remove guys who are hot to play Jon Jay?

Man on 3rd, one out...,.hmmm, how do I not get him home? How about hitting a ball barely past the mound? "I'm on it!"

Catcher and Jay kill the rally. Good tjinking, joe. Zobrist only had 4 hits. Bench him. Contreras has the bat we need. Bench him. Last thing you want with a pitcher making his first start is a catcher with some mlb experience!

Idiotic.
I agree Zobrist should be playing but we all known since last year Zobrist asked for his rest after so many starts...

Hey he made contact and pulled the ball ... runner should of scored on that if he ran on contact like they usually do..

Look .. he tied the game on a double and scored...lol
So, that wasn't an empty hit

Don't know if Davis was told not to go or did that on own...


I said it and agree , bothTseng and Davis shouldn't of started together..
Heard Tseng starting was FO decision
So looks like FO and Maddon hoping to sneak one in there and get lucky, which now looks like they will...

If he is our minor league pitcher of the year we really are lacking in the pitching depth and someone off the major league roster has to be moved this off season for a starter.
I wouldn't make a final judgement on kid first start ..

6 Ks and only 1 walk in 3 IP pretty good..

2 homers

Seen plenty of really good pitchers struggle in their first starts...

This thread still lulzy. 9 runs later

The Chicago Cubs are the team of interest here, isn't it? LOL...they hate everyone here.

Baez, Bryant, Jay, Maddon, Tseng....Davis 1-1 but got ripped for not scoring. Hey, someone missed Happ...he's 0-3 with 3 k's better jump on his ass.

14 fucking runs and no one's happy. :lmao:

Are you missing something?

He didn't start so he COULD go back in relief.

And I don't think I'd call two innings "real long".

I'm happy.

But Davis sure as hell didn't get a hit. He needs to buy the scorekeeper dinner. He made an obvious error and wasn't charged, and reached on an obvious error, and got credit for a hit. :)

In all fairness to the unhappiness, it was 3-0 and 5-3 at the time...

It would of sucked to lose this game ahead of the Cardinals series and with Brewers getting a free home series against a terrible slumping Marlins team with just a 2 game lead...

I want to see Almora get an RBI single in his next at bat.

Last 3 AB's: 3 run HR, 3 run Triple, 2 run double.
