7/17 Cubs (Hendricks) @ Braves (Teheran) 6:35 CDT, CSN

[Guest]

I missed the tag, did he actually get tagged?

[Butterscup1679666578]

[expletive] lol

[Derwood]

He's broken, and I have no idea how he gets fixed.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Castro has been grounding into double plays recently on hit and runs, too. Maybe see if he can bunt or something.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

I feel like that's happened a lot lately. So probably twice. I know one was hit by Lester.

[Irrelevant Dude]

The Cubs are doing everything they can possibly do to avoid the double play with Castro, yet he continues to hit into them. Maybe it is a bit of bad luck, but he is a complete liability at the plate right now

[Schwarber Fan]

Gonna have to be Scwarber-Bryant-Rizzo-Soler to get a W tonight.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Gawd, I feel awful that I don't even worry now about Starlin going back to the DR for the offseason.

[ARCubsFan]

.598 OPS for Starlin

[BrockLanders]

Hendricks has struck out every batter since Schwarber whispered wisdom in his ear.

[Gilby]

We all know that the idea of a hit and run is to hit the ball on the ground, and when you're forced to swing at everything thrown, it can be difficult to hit the ball in a certain direction, right? Like he's been really bad, but making weak contact on hit and runs like that is partially due to where the pitch was and the fact that he had to swing.

[Derwood]

not seeing the interference? someone explain

Dude hit Schwarber's mitt on the backswing.

Yeah, he sucks, but he did what he was asked there.

Backswing?

[itisallpartoftheplan]

I got a bad feeling AJ is going to burn us here. Please be wrong!

[Schwarber Fan]

Please get this last out so Schwarber doesn't become a goat tonight.

[Andy]

Backswing?

 

That's the word Len used and I was too lazy to think of a better one

[SouthSideRyan]

Backswing?

 

The back half of his forward swing.

[ARCubsFan]

Please get this last out so Schwarber doesn't become a goat tonight.

He's 3-3, he's not gonna be a goat

[Soul]

Come on now, 2 outs get outta this

[Bryants Disco Ball]

He's 3-3, he's not gonna be a goat

 

At the same time, all the scrutiny is about his defense. And there will be a slight focus on his two errors. There just will be. Fair or not.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Things looking Grimm.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Does pulling Hendricks early ever work out?

[Gilby]

Hopefully Grimm isn't scared to throw his curve with Schwarber back there and a runner at 3rd. Or maybe he should be. I don't know.
