Beyond frustrated with this offense right now.

Bryant looks at a hanging curveball right down the middle on the first pitch and then swings at one that didn't even make it to the plate.

Sure would be nice to see your hottest hitter and OBP guy with average at best power not hitting ****ing cleanup and instead setting the table at the top of the order.

But even if the Cubs get shutout again I guarantee Zobrist will be hitting cleanup tomorrow.

There is no first base rule for the 3rd out.

There was no foul tip, so it could bounce

I thought first base had to be open.
Couldn't you purposefully "drop" the 3rd strike with a guy at 1st, then throw to 2nd, then 1st for a double play?

Hence the 3rd out

I hope Chapman blows dick in this series.

He's a worthless pile of human garbage.

For the fourth out?

No. If first base is occupied with less than 2 outs then on a dropped 3rd strike the batter is automatically out. If there are 2 outs you have to complete the play by tagging the batter or throwing to first.

OK, I got it. I'm right...except if they are already 2 outs. That makes sense.

Got it now.:thumb:

If the Cubs come back here, I'll start giving those comparisons to the 2015 Royals more credence.

So West is behind the plate tomorrow. That should be fun.

Here comes Zo

Ben failed?
