Yeah, you are probably right. I just thought with Grandal's lack of speed, some station-to-station might have been more appropriate. But yeah, he should have made it.

 

On a normal play I agree but this hit the padding in the wall at weird angle and bounced away from Blackmon. That gave him a lot more time than is normal for this type of play. That's the kind of play that turns into a triple when it should be a double. It kind of gives you one extra base.

Maddon appears to be completely and deliberately sabotaging us. I know he's not, but it just feels like it.

 

I don't know where they found Brad Wieck, but he is an absolute pile of junk. 3 guys on base, lead run now up, and he hasn't made a single one earn their way on.

What the heck are you talking about? They just won yesterday. We didn't take care of our own business.

LOL deliberately sabotaging? No, the Cubs pen is just that bad.

Calm down. I know he's not in reality, it was just a statement of how bad Wieck is.

Except speed had nothing to do with it.

 

Really?

 

Not a single thing to do with the outcome?

 

Ok then...

 

You can't say speed had nothing to do with it. If it was Grisham running, there wouldn't have even been a throw to home, he'd have beaten it easily. Grandal is slow, really slow, and Eddie should know that. no ay he should have been sent. If he gets thrown out, which he did, we have a guy at 2B, and 2 outs rather than 2nd and 3rd with one out.

Those were huge plays and I still am fuming at how absolutely crap Grandal was last inning. Just pissed off that a pro athlete could be so damn un-athletic and not score.
"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

Yeah, so Wieck has pitched in a lot of big spots the last two weeks. He wasn't good tonight, bit Maddon trusted him consistently down the stretch. Deliberate sabatage is not sustainable on the evidence.

Again, I don't really think he is. I thought that would be apparent when I followed up by talking about how bad Wieck is but it apparently did not come off that way.

I am so on your side on this. I hate that crap too. You would think world class athletes could actually do baseball things

Speed obviously matters but if he had just run through the plate he would have crossed the plate before the ball even got to it. Grandal's speed is not why he got out here, his poor path to the plate and slide for no good reason is why. He had plenty of speed to score if he just ran the base properly.

AGAIN, I was speaking tongue in cheek.

And one of the reasons why they are done.
