5/9 Braves (Hudson) at Cubs (Maholm) CSN 1:20 p.m.

[Careless]

They replaced Maholm after the commercial break. weird.

The god-king of BAbip comes through again.

 

 

Is he that, or the Witch-King of Angmar?

more like King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men.

Forces them to bring in a right-handed pinch hitter

[davell]

Whoever that football player in the booth was, Len and Bob just gave up trying to talk to him.

 

 

Was he not interested in baseball or just boring as all hell?

Live coverage now on MLB Network for those out of the area an no MLBTV.

Though they brought in Russell anyways...so maybe he needed a little time to get ready?

Not very well-spoken. Waiting for him to answer a question resulted in a lot of dead air.

[expletive], I go to haul the recycling out and I miss actual scoring?

Don't give me that ole crap, Stewart.

[Guest]

Holy crap Hughes almost gave me a heart attack. Made me think that was gone.

Maholm: 4.05 ERA, 1.08 WHIP

Russell: 0.73 ERA, 1.38 WHIP

That's what you get you tree hugging hippy. I kid.

[davell]

Wonder if we go with Dolis for the 9th or just keep Russell in with Chipper and Heyward coming up?

Me too. I was like wtf?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

What kind of odds would you want before you'd bet on the Cubs making it to .500 at any point this season?

 

I think I'd take it at 2:1.

[Rizzo Smash]

Soto down to .152 and showing no signs of getting better.

Michael Bush, new Bears RB.

 

I actually thought he was surprisingly well spoken for a guy who probably knows zero about baseball. He sang the stretch pretty well, going slow with the organ and pausing for the fans to sing, ala Harry. I thought it was going to be awful.

Tiny sample size, but holy [expletive], Cardenas looks terrible trying to do anything.

[Rizzo Smash]

Have a feeling this won't end well.

You're right, I bet his BA doesn't get better all year.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

This is going to be a great challenge for Dolis. If he gets this, this is not your ordinary save.

Heyward will reach, but that's it.
