The beefiest bunt. I look forward to seeing what dumb thing he does to get erased from the bases this time.

I think it would be really funny if, after all the winging about the bullpen over the weekend, Lackey absolutely blew chunks for four innings before the bullpen came in and threw a collective five perfect. Naturally, the cherry on top would be the Cubs offense failing to regain the lead.

So I just flipped over to the Cardinals game on gameday and noticed Fowler is batting .132 so far. What the hell did you do to him, Cardinals?

This would be a cool time for Miggy to get another hit.

I thoroughly enjoy Lackey getting booed at home for throwing at the opposing pitcher.

imo the Cubs should stop trying to swing entirely and just endlessly bunt one after another. They can't possibly strand more runners than they already are trying to swing. And then he gets picked off at second! Sydin fucked around with this message at 02:49 on Apr 18, 2017 |

Zobrist is guaranteed to get a hit that would have otherwise scored Rizzo now. And then get stranded.

Strop's ancestors are ever so slightly mollified, if still miffed about his last few appearances. Cubs offense status: Apply the paddles directly to the chest, we're losing them!

I'm not being entirely facetious when I say that if Braun is always going to get on base anyway, I'd prefer if Cubs pitchers just plunked him on the first pitch every AB.

It's legitimately impressive how quickly and how efficiently the Cubs poo poo the bed this game. Also something something give Almora more starts in center.

Ahahaha Braun held up initially and if Heyward had just thrown home instead of to 3B, he wouldn't have scored even if the throw was dogshit. The Cubs.
