07/10 white sox (Rodon) @ CUBS (Hendricks) 3:05 CDT, CSN TV

[Irrelevant Dude]

Not watching, any reason Hendricks was taken out except for fatigue?

Just his typical short leash.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have outscored the opponents 30-22 in the 8th inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[profisme]

He was out at second but Joe didn't challenge

No challenge because we wasted it on a play that never had a [expletive] prayer of being overturned. He could have asked for a review, though

 

I realize that but it is a semantics issue you are bringing up.

[Andy]

I just don't know what to do with this offense. It's been what a month they've been struggling most games? So frustrating to waste great pitching.

We've been facing such great staffs, though

[Tryptamine]

Well if they manage to lose today there's a real good chance they get swept with Quintana and Sale going. Not that it much matters when the team can't hit anyways.

[Sammy Sofa]

baez isn't even playing baseball right now and only got cleared to swing a bat today. he's not coming.

Yeah, those are weird comments from people who are around every day.

 

No kidding. At this point I'd just DL him and play Herrera or something because my heart keeps breaking, but why the hell are people talking about Baez?

[BigSlick]

lol if this team loses to the brutally awful white sox

[sontensei]

herrera russell fowler......

Quintana can easily be beaten and while sale would be tough we have our best 2 starters going so it's not a stretch to suggest that a team that has already won games started by Kershaw and Greinke can beat a terrible offensive team with a great pitcher.

[Tryptamine]

Not a single person on this team can bunt. I've never seen a team so completely unable to put a bunt in play.

the sox offense is actually worse than the cubs this year so it will probably be a close series --

are you suggesting a team 5 games under .500 should never beat a team 8 games over .500?

[OleMissCub]

Time for another DP

Bring back Sveum as bunting coach! We need weekly tournaments

[UMFan83]

I was hoping Fowler was coming out of his slump earlier this week. Guess not.

[sontensei]

....

[dfnowak]

What do you know...another Fowler out!

[Guest]

Not a strike.

[Andy]

Yep. Not a [expletive] strike.

[OleMissCub]

This zone......

[profisme]

This ump has been brutal

[NotSoSober]

this strike zone is laughable

[Andy]

Ball 1 to Rizzo was essentially in the same spot as strike 3 to Fowler. Consistency

[TruffleShuffle]

fowler is going to cost himself a lot of money. all he had to do for a nice payday was play as well this season as he'd consistently played for the past 5 years.

[UMFan83]

Yep. Not a [expletive] strike. [expletive] off Bellino
