OT: Raise the Jolly Roger: Dull days of July

[Scandale du Jour]

Are they f***ing stupid? Another guy striking out trying to bunt.

 

[BusinessGoose]

Well, CWS bullpen helping us

 

[PensandCaps]

Why the f*** are you still having Grandal bunt when hes AHEAD 2-1 in the count, and then they STILL have him try to bunt with two strikes, is the manager 12?

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Reynolds!!!

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Why run?

 

[PensandCaps]

Why run?

And if you're gonna steal, pinch run for Cutch. Unless that was his decision.

So the "bunt" with 2 strikes is dumb, and grandal did it TERRIBLY....

But i almost wonder if they were so scared of hitting into a double play, that they would rather have grandal bunt out than anything... Lol

Some galaxy brain super advanced stat shit

If they're so worried about Grandal being a bum, then they should have sent Bart or Taylor up there.

Well, that's EVERY game they bother starting grandal lol

Like I'm glad he got like two clutch hits all year and threw like one dude out at 2nd

But man he is so... Bad.. He's not even that great behind the plate

 

[td_ice]

Get the F out of the way you idiot.

I dunno why they couldn't throw that dude out

Like, get someone else in to do security, that was stupid

 

[Smoke]

Does the ball guy get credited for the assist?

Be cool for Joe to smack one out and point at the guy

Cutch day to day, left hamstring on that dumb 3rd attempt

 

[BusinessGoose]

Bases loaded
No outs
Top 9

Reynolds up...

Eh 2 RBI single.. Not bad

Cruz sacs one

Score getting really safe now

 

[Smoke]

Reynolds is swinging at beach balls up there

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Great day for Reynolds

 

[BusinessGoose]

RAISE IT

Pitching was solid again

We are one away from .500

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Raise it!

Always answering questions as if he just woke up from a nap, haha.

Dude has clearly lost a step. Today and fairly recently iirc he was held/couldn't score from 2b on a single.

The guy was laughing at it afterwards as well. You could see the shot of Joe just seething.

We should expect nothing else from Southside Chicago

Good win - the pitching was on point and we've done what we needed to make sure we stay in front of a bad team.

Tomorrow it's Keller vs. who knows who, and given the surrounding stakes, I'd like to see an even more decisive and sweat free win. Depending on how some other things go, we could be right there within a game or game and a half from a WC spot, which is pretty decent given how much of a holding pattern of mediocrity we've maintained.

Any outside hope of snatching Luis Robert Jr. from them? I’d really like to see a trade here soon.
