8/8 - Rays (Archer) @ Cubs (Wada) 3:05 WGN

[Gilby]

Javy looks so scary when he hits with those sunglasses.

[UMFan83]

I'm getting these weird feelings......am...am I enjoying baseball again? Like not in a "surfing the daily minor league thread for a momentary splash of dopamine" kind of way. Like looking forward to watching and deriving legitimate pleasure from it.

[ScrubMD]

I love Cubs.

It's like the feeling when you start dating an ex again

Javy looks so scary when he hits.

 

FTFY

[Agony and Ivy]

Rizzo doesn't play the game the right way. Run dummy. Then Castro pimped a single? Kirk Gibson is writing down names for the next time he's managing against the Cubs.

[Gilby]

Wrigley looks pretty damn full today. Though it is a beautiful Friday afternoon, so it may have been anyway.

GOD DAMN WIND

wait wait wait.....Brian's gam thread won yesterday, but David started today's thread? BAD JU-JU. GET BAEZ OUT OF THERE Edited August 8, 2014 by Derwood

[Castros trade value]

And there, Folks, you saw just how fun the future is going to be a 5 minute span. 21, 24 and 25 years old. That's just a little taste as the others are simply goofing in the minors for now. Mendy (22) also flew out to the track that on a normal day is a bomb half way up the bleachers.

 

That is all.

So Alcantara was at SS, Javy joins his team forces him to 2nd. Alcantara is at 2nd, Javy joins his team and forces him to CF while taking his spot in the lineup.

[JonJayCutler]

This team's going to compete in 2015. We're two simple callups away from having Baez, Bryant, Rizzo, Castro, Soler, and Alcantara hitting 2-7. Leave Coghlan in leadoff, Castillo at 8. Go play baseball.

 

Screw pitching.

[Burt Macklin, FBI]

It's so strange to be interested in most of the lineup. "Whelp, Castro batted, I'll check in in a few innings...oh wait Alcantara is on deck."

Same here. I love watching these guys play right now, and every day this week I have been excited for the next game to start.

[Castros trade value]

Then Castro pimped a single?

 

Well, Castro is a Pimp, so this is allowed.

I know what you mean.

 

Next yea will be fun.

[ctcf]

Wada does not move fast

[RammyFanny]

Javy looks so scary when he hits with those sunglasses.

He can't hit in the daytime, so he creates artificial darkness.

[kujay]

These lebowski promos are the icing on the cake today.

My fault, I forgot. It's been so long since I made one.

[Castros trade value]

Javier too lazy to use his glove, so he goes barehanded to make the play. ;) Edited August 8, 2014 by Castro's trade value

JavyD

[Brian]

I checked the At Bat app and saw that they scored 1 in the first, not what I was hoping for but I knew Javy was going to be involved.

Actually, he can't hit at night.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

If I'm reading Fangraphs right, Baez has made contact on 18 out of 19 swings on balls in the zone.
