gently caress matchups Joe, you need Contreras behind the plate with Turner on the other side.

Late but I cannot loving wait until Zobrist/Heyward/Schwarber are back/healthy and LaStella is chained to a boulder and catapulted back to Iowa.

Also sure am glad Maddon penciled Montero in the lineup so he could fail to throw out Turner four times in three innings, and utterly fail to be useful at the plate.

To think this all could have been avoided if Contreras had started.

e. lol nice pity strike from the ump.

Trea Turner fast as gently caress

It doesn't help that Montero is arguably the worst catcher at preventing SB's this year. He's thrown out a whopping 1/24 attempts, and that was before allowing six tonight.

Wait... so you're telling me the Cubs scored in the first inning, then immediately gave up the early lead by allowing first inning runs of their own?

Things I've learned this series:

-The Nationals are good.
-The Cubs are bad.
-Really bad.
-Like, really, really bad.
-As in, bad enough that I genuinely think they'd be best served giving up on the season, running out as many young guys as possible to get them AB's & experience, and shopping Arrieta, Davis, and Jay at the deadline to teams that aren't bad.

Yeah I don't think so. You had your chance at Bryant, have fun with Appel.

I know it worked so maybe it's dumb to criticize, but Turner has the base running IQ of a gnat. Why would you risk getting thrown out and ending the inning with a runner on third and Zimmerman coming up?

Appel is not in the Astros system

I know he's with the Phillies. :thejoke: Probably could have phrased it to be funnier :v:

In other news, Cubs have a runner in scoring position with no outs. Let's see how they waste it!

The Cubs somehow manage to wrest back the lead. Now comes their ultimate challenge: holding it for more than one miserable half inning.

Treinen is a disaster. Is he the closer?

The Nationals don't have a closer, that's the joke. I think they wanted to make that dude Glover the closer but he's on the DL and also has a 5 ERA so welp.

It would be maximum #ThatsCub if Davis blew his first save here.

^his 5 ERA was like one horrible game though

Oh really? That's fair enough then. I admit to not watching many nats games, I just glanced at his stats.
