Too much to ask for ONE Cubs win, ey losers? Let's wrap this one up and focus on the play in game, I guess. Was really hoping for the division and the Cardinals haven't exactly earned it.

 

I don't know. Going in to Wrigley and being on the verge of a 4-game sweep seems pretty "earny" to me.

 

Beating whipped dogs is easy-see every series we've played outside the Cardinals one recently

I'd say beating the teams your supposed to beat falls in the realm of earning it. Something we failed to do earlier in the year and that is why we are in this position to begin with. If we take care of business then, the Cardinals don't matter now.

but it's not like every guy suddenly forgot every piece of advice he gave

Cubs were playing very well up until their series with the Reds last week, where they dropped 2 of 3. Dropping 4 would obviously be a series killer, but they we playing fine going in.

Well, if this is it for the home portion of the 2019 schedule, the crowd did a great job today. Got nice and loud!

Strong outing from Williams. Hope the pitching staff can keep doing its thing here. Two runs isn't enough for me...

 

It is for me.

Our pitching right now is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUSLY OUTRAGEOUSLY MASSIVELY THE BEST EVER!!!!

 

There, someone had to say it.

Gio kept grimacing. Knew the game wouldn’t remain perfect as a result of that.

 

Also, Arcia should have had that. I’d question if it should be an error instead of a hit.

 

I'd question if you knew how hard it is to make some of these plays. Yes, Arcia will tell you he should make that play and he is talented enough to do so. But it's not easy.

 

MOST professional SS in MLB make that play.

 

I get it, it isn't routine, but he should have had it, and no excuse making will hide that fact.

 

I've made that play myself countless times when I was still playing, it wasn't that hard.

Not being a jerk. Just questioning if you understand how hard plays are to make like that. It wasn't a hit. It was a tough play that Arcia is capable of pulling off that he did not.

 

Maybe not quite jerkish, but borderline for sure. Condescending is probably a better fit.

The bolded part has me rolling on the floor. Good for you though.

 

Still not a hit. Which is what was questioned.

Have you never played competitive baseball?

 

Laugh all you want, but that play is made often, and not just by big leaguers.
