What was the third baserunning gaff?

Yeah, not sure what people are complaining about here.

Heyward not getting to 3rd on Bourjos' single.

Soler has a really good arm.

Considering how often they get thrown out on the bases I like a more conservative approach at this point.

That was a seeing eye single that wasn't hit hard at all. Someone with Heyward's speed needs to be on 3rd there.

It feels like the score of this game is 9 to negative 2.

[dmarx114]

I don't think fielders should catch an in-field fly. Let it drop and confuse the runners, especially a pitcher.

Nah.

Cubs are pretty lucky that it's 2-0 right now, should still be 0-0.

Nah.

They are likely done scoring runs.

looks like arrieta is settling in so its safe to say we blew our scoring opportunity

[Jocephus]

has arrieta really only thrown 48 pitches? man he may be my least favorite pitcher to see.

[MinorLeagueGuy]

5 innings, less than 50 pitches for Areola. Zero patience.

The out-of-nowhere emergence of Arrieta should eliminate the protestations of "Cardinal Pixie Dust!!" completely, but it won't because Cubs fans.

It's not a great idea to fall behind Arrieta as he'll just strike out everyone if they do.
