IST: Cubs @ Pirates (V. Where is Silence)

[TL1961]

It's really getting ridiculous how many plays are made/not made, even when accidental.

Ball four hits the bat.
Good grief!

Hit Hurdle with a pitch!!

 

[jooo83]

The Pirates are a low class organization. A reflection of their POS manager.

 

[TL1961]

I don't condone headhunting as a rule, but if Q were to throw his first pitch this inning high and inside, he might gain some respect from his teammates, and might wake up a slumbering club.

 

[Spunky Porkstacker]

Schwarber had that all the way.

 

[TL1961]

You can't spell "l-a-c-k-l-u-s-t-e-r" without a Q.

 

[Omeletpants]

Loopylicious!!!!!!!!!

 

[TL1961]

Marte channeling his inner Marcel Ozuna.

 

[TL1961]

Nice hit, Shel Silverstein.

 

[anotheridiot]

Took the ump a second to remember that the batter is a rookie, as he called a delayed strike.

Nice hit, Robel!!

Lots of XBHs today for the Cubs. That is six, and we are in the third.

World travelled rookie. He was cut from Cleveland in 2014, cubs scouts found him playing ball in Italy when they signed him.

 

[TL1961]

The Joe West Show, where every pitch to a rookie is a strike.

I assume most will disagree with me, but I believe if a pitcher hits a batter in the head it should be an automatic ejection.

 

[TL1961]

Jesus, Almora is frustratingly bad at offense.

He seriously just doesn't know what he needs to do.

Bases loaded, he hits it 20 feet.

 

[TL1961]

This is beyond awful.

I know.

In this scenario yes, but there are times that may not be the right thing to do.

There is a lot I like about Len and JD, but their constant "everything is good" is not one of them.
Our pitcher just bunted into a force out, and JD called it "mission accomplished".

If so, it was a terrible mission.

 

[TL1961]

Hit the fuckin ball, Schwarber!!

 

[TL1961]

Look for one high and in, Javy.

It's no secret.

Hit the ball, dude. Anywhere. But no strike out.

Boom! Like that.

 

[JimJohnson]

This is beyond awful.

What is?
