Official Game Thread - 5/10 - Bucs vs Cubs

[Doc]

The Cubs, on the other hand, get a runner to second with one out and manage to score him. That’s the difference between a mediocre team and the Pirates. 3-2 Cubs halfway through six.

The grizzled veterans of this team have been absolutely pathetic. Cutch, Tellez, Grandal showing the way for Suwinski, who's about as useless as they come.

[Doc]

Suwinski strikes out for the second time tonight. It’s time to send him down to see if he can find himself. He doesn’t belong up here right now.

Wehner praising the opponent, because there's absolutely no way we can hit a guy with an ERA over 4, like every other team in the league

Has he given them the "tip of the cap" already?

[Doc]

Ben Brown must feel like he’s pitching against a high school team. We’re pathetic.

[Surgnbuck]

Triolo and Taylor both have hits this game, of course not when it would have mattered, so they bought themselves another month before they need to get another hit.

[Doc]

Stratton replaces Jones in the 7th. Jones must already be dreaming of one day escaping this place and pitching for a real major league team.

[Doc]

Bellinger with his third hit tonight. Did we even place an exploratory phone call to his agent to see if he’d consider signing here?

[Doc]

Morel singles home a run. So this is what it looks like to have multiple hits in an inning. I wasn’t sure if that was permitted under the current rules. Cubs now with an insurmountable 4-2 lead.
