IST: Phillies @ Cubs — Arrieta returns

[beckdawg]

Eflin may not last very long at this rate. Already at 29 pitches with Descalso coming up.

 

[beckdawg]

this fucking ump is giving Q nothing to work with

 

[SilenceS]

Contreras catches pitches like an asshole sometimes.

 

[zack54attack]

Bad break there.

 

[Hawkeye OG]

Just turned it on. They are talking about Bryce Harper. Imagine that

 

[Chicagosports89]

He got two of the last three outs in game 7 of the first World Series championship in more than a century.

What an incredibly stupid comment.

So he failed to do the job and was part of the reason Chapman was so over used because Maddon didn’t trust anybody in the bullpen. He’s continued to not trust him the last couple years too.

 

[JimJohnson]

Edwards Jesus Christ. Fuck this guy honestly, what a shit fuck pitcher.

 

[beckdawg]

jeez man philly has scored so many runs these two games on the weakest hit balls.

 

[zack54attack]

Bullpen stinks and offense can’t score.

Not sure what you're talking about. Phillies were ripping balls off Edwards and good defense prevented a total fucking disaster.

 

[beckdawg]

Bullpen stinks and offense can’t score.

I wouldn't even put this on the bullpen. Philly is just getting very lucky with well placed balls.

 

[PickSix]

I don’t get why Maddon can’t freakin understand that you don’t use Edwards with a 1 run lead.

The scorched double off Edwards was luck? Are you on crack?

 

[SilenceS]

I always think Heyward is faster then what he really is in life. lol

Yea it's disappointing.

Edwards tonight. He’s not missing bats.

Maddon is the last person on the planet that thinks Edwards can get anybody out. But he is the only one that maters. How many more games does this guy have to cost the Cubs before they give up on him?

Edwards tonight. He’s not missing bats.

The first two guys in the inning weren't hitting the ball hard. Hernandez barely was fair. Kingrey hit a ball that could have been a double play ball had it been farther left or right. Franco did hit the ball well but if McCutchen hits the ball like 2 feet left or right cubs have a shot at getting him and getting out of the inning.

Sorry I'm not doing the excuse thing. Edwards fucking sucks. Period.
