*whew*

[CubInOK]

Not a good time for that Casty.

[Schwarber Fan]

Hard to blame our hitters. Have to chase that garbage with the crap zone.

[Old Style]

Swung at ball 4. Fire the damn hitting coach.

Thaaaaaaaaat's not exactly how it works.

[ctcf]

Well at least Liriano is probably done.

[Guest]

Time to get up, bandwagon fans!

 

Yeah, Wrigley has stayed PACKED during this run of terrible base-OHHHHHHHHH, RIIIIIGHT.

 

FWIW, the Cubs outdrew the Pirates last year by a good margin, both in total tickets and percentage of capacity.

And now comes the downside of PLATOONS! It is ridiculously easy to match up the pen with our lineup.

I wonder if we're doing the FB% guys against GB pitchers thing too.

 

I heard Theo allude to it pregame.

[ctcf]

Something negative!!!

[DiamondMind]

Lake's shown some plus range today

[gscool89]

[expletive] this strike zone. Are you serious?

Sweet, they outdrew a team that managed to have its first winning season in 20 years while showing clear continuing slides in sales and attendance. Dare to dream big.

Maybe against RHP, but not really today. The closest you can come is buying an at bat against RHP for Barney or Lake.

Where in the hell was that pitch?

Yeah, and Wrigley has never been close to resembling pre-2012 PNC.

You're going to have to be more specific.

SHIFTS!

[Schwarber Fan]

Yes!

 

Runs, please

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Thanks to statheads, I now blame pitch-framing instead of the umpire on days like this.

 

Big defense by Cassie!

[Sammy Sofa]

Well that was a sexy shift.

[Old Style]

Perfect positioning there.

[gscool89]

[expletive] yeah!
