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.

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.

They are likely done scoring runs.

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

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

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.
