OMG! That was great!

 

[JP4CY]

Wow, great DP to end the 9th!

The old grounding into the 4-9-3 double play.

 

[Clark]

Which is more frustrating, not getting any scoring chances (cubs) or getting several great opportunities and failing (pirates)?

The fan that just grabbed that ball looks like one giant goober.

He may as well have just run out on the field while he was at it.

 

[Clark]

Throw that bum out

 

[baller21]

Would somebody please end this !

 

[Clark]

Cubs have a man on third, less than two outs. What could possibly go wrong.

Why, man? Why?

 

[Clark]

Cubs deserved that. ******* bunt ********

 

[Clark]

Why, man? Why?

Joe just couldn’t help himself there.

I'm good with the squeeze play there. Russell needs to watch for contact and get back the second there is none.

Ya. It’s hard to predict a 2-1 pitchout.

 

[JP4CY]

Grrr, that last strike!
Doesn’t the ump know if he calls that a ball the game has a chance to end?

 

[chuckd4735]

Fairchild is garbage today. So inconsistent on the corners.

I don't think it was a pitchout, Rodriguez just missed his spot like he did all inning.

i hate that call so, so much. Especially as the visiting team. Sure, if it works you have the lead but A) I'm not sure if works more often than just letting them play and B) it greatly reduces the chances of scoring multiple runs which is important since the other team gets to bat again
