7th inning tied 1-1 and the Braves load the bases with no outs. Lester K's the next 2 batters and got the 3rd one to ground weakly to first. Now the Cubs have the bases loaded with 1 out in the bottom of the 7th and Grandpa Rossy coming to the plate.

when he hit it, i thought it would make it through, but braves had it played right.
Booom. Granny
Szczur with the big fly!
Game ppd today.
Can't win them all but losing to ****ty teams like the Braves pisses me off.
I ****ing hate the Pirates. Bunch of sore losers.
I thought the Pirates had good fans. There was maybe 10k in the stadium.
Don't look now but Javy is playing really, really well. That tag to get Marte was beautiful and the turn on the double play ball that got challenged twice would not even have been close if not due to that rocket arm. I re-watched that play and have no idea how he made that play that close.
Plus, two more hits on the night and he's sitting at .355.

Cubs on MLB Network tonight. Jake on the mound.
It's fun listening to these Pirates announcers. Sounds like they're calling a funeral.
Walked the first two batters of the game for the first time in his career and he still goes 7 scoreless innings with only 2 hits allowed.
You forgot to mention the part where he didn't walk another batter either.. And retired 16 of his last 17.
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
Cubs now have a SIX game lead over 2nd place Pittsburgh.

The Cubs' scaled run differential through 24 games is the best in MLB history. The teams with the 2nd through 5th best scaled run differentials through 24 games all won the pennant, and the '84 Tigers (3rd best all time) won the World Series.

This team has been absolutely incredible to start the season. I don't think we can keep this up, but even 80% of it would put this team in insane company.

The 2003 Yankees had the second best scaled run differential.
To this day, I'd hit Steve Bartman in the face with a shovel if I could.

Naw man don't do that.
Javy is starting to make things very complicated for Maddon. Still a super small sample size, but his K rate is down significantly (21% after today) and his defense at third has been eye popping. Between that, the OF injuries, and Soler struggling, I think we'll start to see more of Baez at 3B and KB in the outfield.
He's not in my Top 5 of people I'd hit in the face with a shovel from 2003.

If I just heard the stat right, Arrieta has more no hitters in his last 22 starts than he does losses. In that same stretch he's given up 4 HR's while hitting 3 himself.
Time for the semi-annual sarcasm meter check.
I'll remind you all after the Cardinals take a series from us in June and everyone on this thread hopes the entire citizenry of St. Louis dies from a disfiguring disease.
Carry on.

Except that actually makes sense.
Sorry, that's a sore spot for me.
And that's a bull**** scenario. We'd have to actually lose another series.

We already lost one to Colorado.
I don't blame Bartman. Alex Gonzalez can go to hell though and I wouldn't feel sorry for him if he did.
