Finally!

Do the Cubs employ a proctologist so Jake can get his head out of his rear end?

Let's make subsequent innings shorter, Jake.

It's just really loving weird how Jake completely loses his command like somebody flipped a switch. It's been going on for months and it still makes zero sense to me.

Hey Jake find your command so Joe Buck shuts the gently caress up and you get a shot at not giving up 6.

Seems like they get that way when Hamilton and Villar are on base as well.

I don't know.... maybe emphasize holding runners on in Spring Training?

Lester should do nothing but pick of throws to first base all spring training. Don't even put a catcher behind the plate.

I'll take the gimmick infield hit, but I hope someone in the dugout saw the fouled off high pitch and tells Baez to take a deep breath.

It's a hit, even if fielded cleanly it's a hard play and that ball too a silly bounce anyways.

Rick Ankiel was an incredibly hyped Cardinals pitching prospect. He lived up to the hype for the most part. When he was called on to start Game One of the 2000 NLDS opposite Greg Maddux he was leading 6-0 in the third inning until he threw 5 wild pitches and couldn't get out of the inning. In his next start in G2 of the NLCS he threw 5 wild pitches in 20 pitches total before being pulled. His pitching never recovered.

If this is all the offense the Cubs can muster against a pitcher who literally cannot throw anything but his fastball, there's no way in hell they're winning poo poo.

loving game of inches, man

If Schwarber's ball is 6 inches to the right, a run scores. If Addy's ball is 6 inches farther, a run scores. :mad:
