Just give us Harper now

This.. I like this. I'm glad I'm not a Nationals fan otherwise I'd be hurting.

 

[Mrbob]

What the hell 4 straight balls good job.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Kinda wish we had Koji or Rondon to pitch today

Justin Wilson and John Lackey though!

 

[Windu]

Cubs Bullpen. Activate!

 

[A-V-B]

I can't believe it might just be the Dodgers vs the Cubs again. Argh..

 

[J2 Cool]

Still regretting that KB first pitch swing. With bases loaded and a pitcher reeling :/

 

[bebop242]

Just what you want to do right?

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

Cubs BP showing that great pitching.

 

[ThouIsARobber]

The Nats should have never let Teddy win. They are cursed.

Yep. They ruined themselves and their merchandise sales all in celebration of a single playoff game.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Don't the Cubs have a starter that can come out of the bullpen?

 

[RumblingRosco]

Dunceing with the four pitch walk to start the inning. Good man, keep this shit show of a game interesting.

 

[A-V-B]

[OfficerRaichu15]

Dude at my school shit talks me about the Nationals winning it all every year.

Quintana

 

[captive]

As someone that was a catcher, I don't know why you would ever keep your hand at your hip like that. At least put it behind your leg.

 

[Jinto]

Quintana

Best case scenario for the Dodgers if the Cubs need to use him here.

If the Cubs can win this game and burn Q that means Lackey in game one.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Stropy!

 

[gamz]

So much for a relaxing chill game! I want this game so bad!!!!!

 

[Mrbob]

Plus, I really want three straight trips to the NLCS.

Kinda wish we had Lester today.

 

[jman2050]

So apparently the passed ball strikeout should have been a dead ball cause Wieters was hit in the head on the backswing?

 

[chicagocubsfan]

TBS seems depressed AF that the Cubs are winning lol

 

[Windu]

Interesting

It does say umpire judgement. I forget was the catcher leaning forward because it was a ball in the dirt.

The umpire's judgment is if it's intentional, not if he hit him.

 

[jman2050]

The thing is the "umpire's judgment" only applies to whether he was hit or not. IF he was hit the rule seems to be unequivocal that it's a strike with no interference.

EDIT - Or if it was intentional? What would that even entail?

 

[kendrid]

It says backswing. His glove was hit during the initial swing.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

LOLOLOLOL

 

[clemenx]

Hahahahahaaaaaa

 

[Brashnir]

Why use Robles if you're not going to put him in left field?

.

 

[Mrbob]

Oh my God Nats.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Rip nats

 

[BMO = GOAT]

Somebody check Russell for witchcraft

 

[jman2050]

This is about the dropped third strike.

 

[Velcro Fly]

I hate Werth but I love Edge

 

[Fitts]

Heh

 

[Choomp]

Werthless

 

[Chuck]

This is shit

 

[blackaroni]

Goodness.

 

[Malo]

This is just sad

 

[Windu]

Werth going out like a champ.

 

[Rock And Roll]

Nats gonna Nats.

 

[kendrid]

This is about the dropped third strike.

My bad. Carry on.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Russell hasn't gotten this many hits since his last date.

 

[mjp2417]

 

[gamz]

Jesus.

Werth didn't even touch the ball

 

[bebop242]

Lol nats stop, you are making me feel bad.

 

[TheCochese]

Nats tears fill my soul.

 

[gamz]

Gotta hold them and keep scoring. Come on pen!
