Series Thread: Cubs at Pirates

[thedddd]

At least they tied it with the bases loaded and 1 out.

That Harrison ball was almost a gapper. Just a bit too far under it.

 

[element1286]

Welp, now Sadler is falling apart.

 

[thedddd]

I still am wondering how does this Cub team score any runs but they put up 5 so far!

 

[thedddd]

If Liriano is out who starts for the Pirates? Would they let Sadler start or maybe bring Worley onto the 40 man?

This would have been the time to expect Taillon.

 

[element1286]

Yikes, Polanco.....not used to the wall and probably not used to those lights either.

Probably Sadler, unless they feel they are gonna need someone long term, and they would need to make a 40 man move anyway. Getting to be a rough situation.

 

[thedddd]

Yeah real rough. With Sadlers outing he isn't making a strong case for himself and the only other true starter on the 40 man right now is Joely Rodriguez but he is a AA and not looking like he is worthy of a spot callup/start.

Or maybe just let Gomez get a start?

 

[element1286]

Yeah, I suppose Gomez could too, really hate seeing him pitch in general.

 

[Darkstone42]

McCutchen with a homer, and he's on some sort of tear right now.

 

[thedddd]

2-0 Cutch with another HR.

 

[Darkstone42]

That strike three to Davis wasn't even close. Rough call.

 

[thedddd]

McCutchen with a homer, and he's on some sort of tear right now.

Yeah he is glad to see him warming up.

 

[Darkstone42]

Cumpton with small revenge for that hard-luck inning getting his own cheap knock for his first Major League hit.

 

[Darkstone42]

Harrison is taking a beating today.

And now Polanco up with the bases juiced.

 

[Darkstone42]

Polanco grounded out, but picked up his first career RBI.

And McCutchen has been walked in favor of facing Davis.

 

[Darkstone42]

Another brutal inside strike call for Davis.

 

[steelparrot]

Why is Barmes replacing harrison?

 

[element1286]

Harrison twisted something in his leg earlier in the game, he looked uncomfortable his last at bat.

 

[element1286]

Also, umpire is terrible. Somehow a curveball 6 inches off the plate and low is a strike, but a fastball an inch outside isn't.
