Must be a tough life when your dad doesn’t teach you how to wear your hat right.

[stalton]

How many times has Cain literally hit a ball exactly up the middle? My word!

[tmwiese55]

That was a crazy good play by Russell just to come up with that and get a throw off.

 

#SCTop10 if the runner was slower.

 

the one he had in the hole to make a perfect throw with no bounce was crazy good too

What happened with Villar. I don't see an error. Missed tag on a stolen base attempt?

 

Really bad throw by Cain that Villar tried to rush a tag on and didn't complete the catch. Zobrist had no business tagging up on that play but with Cain's poor arm I guess they were just trying to be aggressive. Should have been an easy out if either player had done their job.

[YelichPosse]

Maybe we can get 2 for 1 tickets to Biloxi for Santana and Arcia... Both utter crap...

 

We could get a family pack and add Boone and Sogard with !! Haha

[pacopete4]

Damn. That ball was smoked. Find a gap Braun!

[tmwiese55]

I'm assuming they'll try Knebel here and I have no confidence in it right now

Really bad throw by Cain

 

Really bad throw that was almost right on the bag. I mean, it wasn't a perfect throw, but categorizing it as "really bad" is kind of untrue.

Really bad throw? It was a one hopper, perfectly on line with the base.

[wildcat83]

Lol, camera focuses on two old guys wearing Giants and Yankees hats.

[mtrebs]

Here we go again... throw a strike!

You have got to be watching a completely different game than me.

[adambr2]

Oh good, Knebel still in. This should go well.

[trwi7]

Baez's Arcia like plate discipline saved Knebel from another 4 pitch walk.

[Bulldogboy]

Baez with the Arcia approach.

[wallus]

At some point they just won't swing.

[MrTPlush]

It wasn’t a bad throw, but short hoping it when the middle infielder is going to go for a quick tag on the other side of the bag is definitely far from preferred.

[adambr2]

Not one of Knebel's first 5 pitches this inning have been anywhere near the zone. Thanks, Baez.

[xisxisxis]

Good, Corey finally figured out where the strike zone is....

[adambr2]

At some point they just won't swing.

 

I figured that point would have come when Schwarber was up 3-1 with the bases loaded.

[trwi7]

At some point they just won't swing.

 

I don't know if the Cubs have a "For the love of God, don't swing" sign but if there was ever a time to create that sign, that at bat by Baez was it.

[wildcat83]

Chatwood walked 56 already....

[tmwiese55]

pitcher's spot 3rd next inning. The grittiness of Sogard will get the W one more time

Go up there without a bat?
