    Those Russell homeruns were absolutely scalded. Zastryzny has been pretty awesome. But most impressive: Patton actually struck somebody out.

    I know Maddon likes aggressiveness, but there are times when you just need baserunners and there’s no advantage to grabbing an extra base or two.

    The ridiculous thing is, if he stays at first, he can probably take second on defensive indifference (unless the defense is stupid enough to hold him on, in which case they open up a hole in the infield). Plays like this don’t matter much in a total blowout, but I hope Cubs runners are smarter when there’s a more realistic chance of a comeback (say, a 3-4 run deficit).

    Welp, Coors giveth and Coors taketh away.

    Just be glad we don’t have to play 81 games here like those poor bastards on the Colorado side. Forever doomed to 75-80 win seasons. Or worse.

    I was called an SJW on twitter. Is that a social justice warrior? Because normally I think of myself being more of a social justice mage class, but that’s just me.

    Rizzo the Rat,

    The Cubs seem to be a good overall base running team, but they also seem to make more than their fair share of boneheaded decisions. Russell has made at least a couple that I can remember, but overall I think of him as a good base runner. Zobrist’s decision was beyond stupid. It was almost like he was just trying to get the game over some could get to San Diego.

    I vacillate between INFP and ESTJ.

    Cubs face Edwin Jackson. I actually hope Jackson destroys the Cubs, because it would be a great Fuck You to all the jerk Cubs fans.

    dmick89,

    Yeah, it would be pretty embarrassing if the Cubs can’t do any damage against him tonight. Not quite James Shields-level embarrassing, but still…

    My copy of Tommy Lasorda Baseball for the Sega Genesis begs to differ. Do you have a video game franchise, Mr. Delicate Genius?
