4/26 Cubs (Arrieta) @ Reds (DeSclafani), 12:10 CDT, WGN

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 3-2 (.600) when their pitcher gets a hit.... 6-5 (.545) when he doesn't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

I'm over batting the pitcher 8th.

[Guest]

No batting gloves for Jake.

[DiamondMind]

worst manager ever

[Guest]

Best reasonable outcome

[profisme]

Of the three pitches he sees, he chooses to swing at that one...

[DiamondMind]

lol when the batboy handed russell the bat someone from the dugout yelled "hold onto it"

[profisme]

Russell trying to do some damage with the bat...

[Sammy Sofa]

I thought the pitcher batting 8th was a thing he'd do sometimes.

To be fair, Russell's been an auto out so far also.

[halplm]

I love that they are showing confidence in Russell, but I seriously think he needs a day off to just relax. He needs to get his head right.

[kujay]

There you go Addy!

What was yesterday?

[DiamondMind]

YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[PrimeTime]

HELL YA RUSSELL!!!

[profisme]

I thought the pitcher batting 8th was a thing he'd do sometimes.

 

Yeah, some days he bats the pitcher after the 7th hitter and the other days he chooses to bat the pitcher before the 9th hitter.

[Guest]

Russell!!!!

[ctcf]

ADDISON!!!

[Tryptamine]

That is huge for his confidence.

[sneakypower]

HE BELONGS

[Schwarber Fan]

BLEEP YES

[Hairyducked Idiot]

That was especially satisfying considering how hard the Cubs TV guys were laying the groundwork for his demotion.

[Guest]

Cleared the bases!!!!!!

[Guest]

why would you do something like that only sometimes

 

i know he said he might go back and forth, but it never made much sense to me. either you think it's a smart thing to do or you dont

 

 

YAY ADDISON!!!!!
