I’m now at my third baseball game inside a week. Coors field, Cubs – Pirates, and now Madison Mallards vs Green Bay Bull Dogs.

Congrats on your new job, SK

I hope they still do the Great Dane bleacher tickets there, and that you got one.

The Cardinals are trying really hard to blow their lead.

berselius,
I sent the host an email.
Did Trevor Clifton get injured today! He left after 2.1 innings.

Just watched the 2A indiana high school baseball championship from behind home plate. Best game ive ever seen.

That didn’t take long.

Crap.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
If Lester threw to first, McCutchen is out easily.
dmick89Quote Reply
Thank you, grandpa.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Dumb base running. Thank you.
dmick89Quote Reply
Throw strikes.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Second game in a row a Cubs starter issued three straight walks without any of the runners scoring.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Did Fowler pull a hamstring?
dmick89Quote Reply
Rizzo!

Rizzo!

What’s that weird junk bump thing that some of the Cubs do?
dmick89Quote Reply
Yep. That sucks.
dmick89Quote Reply
Stupid shift.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Nice double play.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
dmick89,
Joe thinks it might just be a cramp.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Rizzo the Rat,
Hope so. Getting sick of all the injuries.
dmick89Quote Reply
That great dane mallards deal used to be (circa 2004ish) all you can eat/drink plus a bus ride from downtown for like $21 or something. It was an insane deal. I have no idea how they didn’t go bankrupt because every person there would get totally bombed.
EnricoPallazzoQuote Reply
What the hell was Baez doing?
dmick89Quote Reply
Ugh.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
A lot of pitches for Lester so far.
dmick89Quote Reply
Someone needs to remind Lester that Mercer isn’t very good.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Wow. Another great slide by Baez.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
I still hate the whole “running on first move against a lefty” thing.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Javy!
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Lester could really use a quick inning here.
dmick89Quote Reply
I’d have pinch hit for Lester last inning, but it probably would have meant 2 plate appearances for relievers knowing Joe.
dmick89Quote Reply
Must…kill…staples guy
EnricoPallazzoQuote Reply
Bryant!
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Wow. Way gone.
dmick89Quote Reply
I love this home run competition between Rizzo and Bryant.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
I hope that someone other than Russell starts the NL all star game. This is the rare year where the winner of that game actually matters to the Cubs.
dmick89Quote Reply
Rizzo the Rat,
I’d like it even more if it turned into McGwire/Sosa. (dying laughing)
dmick89Quote Reply
dmick89,
Mantle/Maris would be more apropos. Or Ruth/Gehrig.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Rizzo the Rat,
I don’t remember those. I’ll ask SK how much fun they were.
dmick89Quote Reply
Nice play by Baez.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Damn. That was some great fielding.
dmick89Quote Reply
Grampy!

God: I give you fuckers clayton Richard then.
Cubs rotation: that’s cool, we will all have sub-3 ERAs
God: say goodbye to tommy la stella
Almora: haha that guy sucks anyway

Or Zobrist.

Don’t tell me what to do
BryzzobristQuote Reply
Come on, Javier.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Strop is going to come back out for the 8th, right? He didn’t throw that many pitches.
dmick89Quote Reply
Then again, they don’t have an off day until the break.
dmick89Quote Reply
I like that Joe is using Rondon for the 1+ inning save these days even if it didn’t work as planned the first time.
dmick89Quote Reply
dmick89,
Why would that one time change his mind?
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Also, last time kinda did work out. i.e., they won.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
I don’t know why the Pirates brought their closer in in a low-leverage situation, but I’ll take it.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
This is a recent PA by a reliever that I approve of.
dmick89Quote Reply
Rizzo the Rat,
Not saying it should change his mind. Just happy it wasn’t a one time thing.
dmick89Quote Reply
dmick89,
Eh, I think I’d have preferred a double switch.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Pirates lose.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
That’s for you, dmick89, so you don’t have to check your At-Bat app to see what happened to the Pirates.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
11.5 up. That’s even more awesome than yesterday. 15 won’t surprise me by the break.
dmick89Quote Reply
This is the biggest lead they’ve had since the start of divisional play.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
So, uh, who is it here that put the hex on the Cubs outfielders/hamstrings. Stop that.
ceruleanQuote Reply
Rizzo the Rat,
Thanks. I was wondering how the Pirates were doing tonight.
dmick89Quote Reply
The Cubs still lose the division lead in one out of twenty-five sims on 538. Not good enough.
ceruleanQuote Reply
I can’t find any of the replays from this game. “No highlights currently available”. Must be some weird rights issue.
ceruleanQuote Reply
dmick89,
More like santo/williams
SKQuote Reply
cerulean,
That’s bullshit, man.
SKQuote Reply
SK,
Agreed. I listened to most the game driving back from a family gathering and was really looking forward to seeing the Baez slide and his throw from one knee. Also, the Bryant moonshot.
But I just checked and they are finally all there. Like I said, weird.
ceruleanQuote Reply
Baez blowing bubbles. (dying laughing)
He is something else. That slide. That 360º play. Just wow.
ceruleanQuote Reply
Fox game of the week bullshit.
dmick89Quote Reply
cerulean,
(dying laughing) I didn’t notice he was blowing bubbles. Glad you mentioned that. That’s hilarious.
