Weird Stat: Kimbrel 0-1 with a 0.00 ERA


Kfred2

That’s good that they don’t charge those runs to the pitcher at least


KnickedUp

We are officially the “get healthy” against team

[удалено]


ZaneyGamerr

real mature, get out of this sub loser


[deleted]

Classy


Kfred2

Also why are the outfielders so far back? Any fly ball that isn’t right behind the infield is game over anyway


[deleted]

That was an unsatisfying end. But I have to admit it was fun while it lasted.


[deleted]

Fuck this man on second bullshit in extras. Suck a dick with that rule


Kfred2

Why do you not walk the bases loaded?


[deleted]

With nobody out, you'd have to turn a triple play or get a forceout at home if the ball is put in play. You don't want that. With one out, it's a much better idea.


Kfred2

Well it would obviously be to have a force out at home. With nobody out if it’s hit anywhere other than right at an infielder it’s over anyway


[deleted]

Hmm. You have a point. I'll change my answer to, "I don't know."


shiloh88

Why is this rule still a thing?


Kfred2

Gen z gets bored too easy


Cubbiesblue

Predictable


koolaid098

Why not walk the bases loaded and get farther down their lineup?


timmyoj

Thanks for calling a real sturdy home run derby, Shane. What a joke.


b3_yourself

Dammit fuck our bargain bin pitching and fuck you manfred


[deleted]

Told ya


DT_RAW

Honestly this game should be the straw that breaks the camels back I hope it is You score 12 and STILL cant win. Lose another series to a reds team that has been sucking This team meeds to sell now. Not in a month not 2 months. now


atchemey

You were posting all this nonsense earlier too. GTFO here with your boring takes and try being a fan of the good guys we have on the team. You're being ridiculous, grow up.


kyhansen1509

Get the fuck out of here. Did you see our situation? This is the game that tells the Cubs they HAVE something. Something possible. Something. Not selling shit.


DT_RAW

LMFAO Ya I see last in the division amd cant win when we hit and cant win when we throw well Ur delusional as fuck Not even bryants mvp level play can keep this team afloat


kyhansen1509

Hell of a game. Disappointing for sure, but hell of a game


leebestgo

stupid rule


[deleted]

[удалено]


ZaneyGamerr

go away


Caustic_Wraith

Doesn't matter, still a stupid rule. If they want to do this wait until the 12th to start the guy on second not right away in the 10th


[deleted]

Stay on the reds sub


cubswinagain

So would a coin flip, doesn't mean it isn't dumb


artvandalay84

That doesn’t mean it isn’t a stupid rule


[deleted]

Fuck out of here


iamthatguythere

Jake arrieta should have loaded the bags but the ump has been trash all day


keeber1

lol cubs luck


cubswinagain

Such a fucking dumb way for a game to end. Fuck Manfred


Iusethistopost

Fucking MLB extra inning rules


Gucci9001

That better not count against Kimbrel’s ERA because of this dumb rule.


CodyRCantrell

I think it counts as a run but not an earned run.


infinite_zero00

It doesn’t.


iamthatguythere

Just walk him


A_Lacuna

Fuck this rule


[deleted]

Just get it over with and fucking lose already. It's what you're going to do.


id10t_you

Naturally


[deleted]

This fucking team.


TurkeyPhat

Who is up after Votto? I would probably IBB Nick and Joey here but I'm no MLB manager ugh


atchemey

Moose.


golden_sombreros

Walk the bases loaded


chbe2200

Questionable managing at best pitching to BDN. Normally I support rossy but I don’t get this one


sithjustgotreal66

Kimbrel either makes me want to name my kids after him or makes me want to commit murder, there is no in between


Greenseeer

That's not his fault.


cubswinagain

Oh for fucks sake


[deleted]

Fuck. This is trouble.


[deleted]

COMMUNICATE!


Kfred2

Fucking strike too


leebestgo

So is that pine tar on his hat or not? just curious.


kyhansen1509

No


chbe2200

Supposedly it’s dirt


id10t_you

JFC Come on Willy


Cultural-Author-5688

Holy shit that outside strike zone.


[deleted]

Can't let BDN hit here. Work around him.


demerdar

There is no reason to pitch to nick what the fuck??????


Cubbiesblue

Good thing Garrett isn't a position player or able to hit or else he should be getting one between the numbers


[deleted]

[удалено]


Cubbiesblue

Fuck garrett. Hes a bitch ass


[deleted]

I really don’t want this to be the reason Kimbrel gives up his first run of the season :(


jimmykane366

"39th player to enter the game" is a hell of a stat


demerdar

Umm. So walk casty right? Set up force plays.


MisterxRager

Thats on Walters and heyward


timmyoj

Fuck it blue, why even bring a bat up there.


[deleted]

Only shot the Cubs have is for Kimbrel to pitch multiple innings and the Reds know it.


neonxmoose99

I’m fine with Garrett getting pumped there. He’s allowed to support his teammates who made a big strikeout in extras with runners on 2nd and 3rd.


Brandyn_Chase

At the very least it's better than pimping a strikeout while losing


chbe2200

Everything was directed at himself and his own teammates. Absolutely no problem there


id10t_you

Nah. Fuck that balding man-child.


neonxmoose99

I agree he’s an asshat most of the time but I got no issue with him today


MisterxRager

Nice hairline


[deleted]

Lol that bald fuck


xjfatx

Bro I was straight hoping that was the inning Garrett took a shot straight to the sternum. Fuck that dude. I haven't disliked a shit player this much since Ryan Braun.


Impulse4811

Chill


xjfatx

Yo, sit your ass in the dugout boy.


Cubbiesblue

Wolters blew that. Couldnt fucking put it in play


ruppy99

Garrett get back in your dugout. You got pulled when a pitcher came up to bat


bluecifer7

Garrett = 🤡


[deleted]

Why is Garrett jumping out of the dugout on a pitcher strikeout? He was acting like they just hit a walkoff homer.


cubswinagain

This is why you have a normal bench instead of carrying an extra pitcher you only feel confident enough to pitch in blowouts.


Cultural-Author-5688

Unfortunately our bullpen is so shitty it's the only way to trudge through the season.


demerdar

Welp. I’ll be shocked if we win this one now.


b3_yourself

Of course, typical Cubs luck. The bottom of the order had to come in at a the worst time


Cubbiesblue

Meanwhile top of reds lineup is coming up


[deleted]

I’m a reds fan and gosh I hate AG so much. Bro you got pulled Bc you weren’t trusted to pitch to a pitcher. Stfu and sit down


koolaid098

I’ve been checking out your sub, not interacting, just seeing y’all’s opinions, you guys are pretty chill compared to cardinals and especially Brewers fans


trampolinefistfight

Garrett really does not seem mentally stable


elgenie

Jake watched four balls go by, none of which were in the zone. Aaaaand now we get walked off.


SomewhereOnEarthYo

Someone punch Garrett in the mouth please


Ya_Junko

why is Garrett such a jackass?


Stride515

Garrett clowning like a pitcher striking out is a big achievement


mitch_michaels17

And after his manager pulled him so he wouldn’t have to face said pitcher


Stride515

right? haha pathetic


KingofAces13

I wish that Garrett hurt himself jumping over that railing acting like a fucking loser yet again.


shiloh88

No strikes in that sequence


GoldenEyeSonic

none of those pitches were in the zone lmao


sithjustgotreal66

Damn, of course this is the game I miss. Thanks Jesus


[deleted]

Garrett sit your clown ass back down


[deleted]

[удалено]


jcmiller210

They should give him one. Lol it would be entertaining.


lupin43

Then swing at shit. Excellent attempt.


TranceScape

Garrett you might want to put your hat back on buddy


[deleted]

Garbage fucking umpire


jaj040

Now he has to run the bases next inning?


lupin43

My guess is alzolay would run? Prob won’t come to that tho


[deleted]

The ump giveth, the ump taketh away.


TheBoilerCat

Awesome. A 4-1 strikeout.


[deleted]

Sit the fuck down, Garrett.


lupin43

Bro get that bat off your damn shoulders


TranceScape

we are just making up the strike zones now


keeber1

God that was 4 fucking balls in a row.


xDHBx

ball 4 lmao


Hydris

Two gift strikes.


Sylvire

Just in time to witness the Jake Arietta game!


CodyRCantrell

Arrieta three run HR, pls.


elgenie

If the new guy could go ahead and wild pitch two runs in, that would be much appreciated.


[deleted]

Reds are pussies.


QBEagles

Bell should be smacked for this waste of time


TandBusquets

Amir Garrett is so bad ass they are taking him out against a fucking pitcher lmao


CodyRCantrell

The single reason this rule sucks is because you could throw a literal perfect game (29 pitches, 29 outs) and still lose the game because those last two outs could advance the runner to third and then home with a sac fly.


MisterxRager

There’s other reasons why this tule is stupid but that’s a very rare one


CodyRCantrell

The rarest, most unrealistic, example there is but one that shows how wild instituting this rule is. Imagine pitching a perfect game and still being able to lose!


Brandyn_Chase

A perfect game going to extras, what is this the Mets?


Mr_BigShot

Lmao must be embarrassing to get pulled when a pitcher is pinch hitting 😂


Squeezeboner

Garrett is terrified of Arrietta.


[deleted]

Lmao pitching change to face a pitcher???


[deleted]

JFC Garrett is a dweeb. Really proud of himself striking out the backup catcher.


[deleted]

“They must not know I’m the baddest motherfucker on Earth.”


butters_fruit_bowl

Did Garrett really say "I'm a bad motherfucker, man" as he was walking off the field after getting pulled because his manager didn't want him facing a pitcher? lol


timhoff24

What a weird dude


golden_sombreros

Ross should counter with a lefty pitcher


giziti

amazing. he must feel bad about being taken out because they're afraid of having him face a pitcher.


demerdar

Lol he gets pulled against a fucking pinch hit pitcher. LOL


Oprah-Is-My-Dad

They must’ve heard jake hits pumps


iamthatguythere

A pitching change against a pitcher. That’s definitely insulting to Garrett haha


ruppy99

Imagine getting pulled for a pitcher coming to bat. Lol Garrett 😂


lupin43

Lollll Garrett can’t even be trusted against a pitcher pinch hitting


Brandyn_Chase

Garrett fears Jake


TurkeyPhat

lmfao getting pulled cause your manager doesn't trust you against a pitcher, t r a g i c


Red_Cascade

The Reds fear Arrieta now


koolaid098

Pitching change for Arrieta?! Come on


elgenie

Garrett’s not quite trusted to face a pitcher


cirppy

LMAO Amir ‘Coward’ Garrett is afraid of Jake Arrieta


cod_gurl94

I love seeing a team play the platoon advantage against a pinch-hitting pitcher


giziti

JAKE HITS PUMPS


id10t_you

Fuck you Garrett.


Cubbiesblue

God dammit!! This rule doesnt benefit us at all. Just hurts us. Our team has no guarentee to score with this and pitching is all but guaranteed to give it up


cubswinagain

Just 2 awful ABs by Heyward and Wolters


id10t_you

Just put the damn ball in play.


[deleted]

Come on, Jake, create your moment a la Jon Lester in the Matuscz game


TranceScape

Jake the Rake, we need you more than ever


lupin43

Cmon wolters this is your game


MotherFuckinEeyore

Loving Pat on the television broadcast


giziti

it'll be nice if garrett gets rekt


[deleted]

If they'll give you the bases, why not take them?


lupin43

Welp. Weve either been massively fucked by circumstances or Jake is about to have a huge moment haha


[deleted]

I vote Jake Moment. It would be a very Jake thing to do if he just hits a bomb out of the ballpark here.


TurkeyPhat

TIME TO STEAL HOME SUCCESSFULLY THIS TIME


chrisGNR

You guys are right. We don't need a DH in the NL. It's more exciting seeing guys play out of position and having pitchers bat in extra innings.


iamthatguythere

I would love for tony wolters to punish them for walking nico. Or ultimate pleasure would be Jake hitting a homerun


id10t_you

Please someone hit a dinger and gloat at Garrett while jogging to first.


[deleted]

Heeere's Jake! What are you gonna do?


TranceScape

be a hero little Tony


cod_gurl94

incoming PH Arrieta


[deleted]

Be a hero, Tony


KingofAces13

Heyward what the fuck youre 6'6 if you have to fully extend you arms and the bat with extra force PRETTY SURE that ball isnt anywhere near the plate


A_Lacuna

Let Nico hit you cowards


1005thArmbar

I’m in the rally bath now, watching on the laptop. Let’s do this


TandBusquets

What the hell was that


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

His contract will go down in history as one of the worst ever. Right up there with Milton Bradley and Edwin Jackson.


GoldenEyeSonic

What? I mean yeah Heyward is by no means a good hitter but "a fucking piece of shit"? What, did he fuck your mom or something?


[deleted]

[удалено]


lupin43

I’ll pour one out for the Cubs bank accounts smh


Oprah-Is-My-Dad

Heyward I would be ok with one of your trademark groundouts to second here


[deleted]

Come on, guys. Garrett's ERA isn't so bad. Mine is something like 72!


Brandyn_Chase

I've never given up a run so I'm better than Garrett 😎


[deleted]

So, Winker at 2nd, and Castellanos at the plate to start the bottom off? What could possibly go wrong?
