8/18 Tigers (Sanchez) @ Cubs (Hammel) - 7:05 PM ABC7/MLBN

[CubInOK]

BRING ON THE RAIN

[Schwarber Fan]

Hammel is done. I don't want him anywhere near a playoff game.

 

So umm Hendricks the 3rd starter in a playoff series?

 

Again, yes. Hendricks is a better pitcher. I know his inexperience could be an issue but I'm more confident when he goes out there right now.

[DiamondMind]

I'm just going to go buy beer now so Im not upset later that I didn't.

[Ski]

I understand pitchers make mistakes, but no respectable pitcher should make -this- many mistakes.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS gave up 3 runs or more in the first inning...........

[sneakypower]

guess i don't mind being blacked out of this one...

[Soul]

We need to keep this inning alive until the rain comes

[DiamondMind]

Hammel topping out at 92mph

[Guest]

ski is here, so that's good

God the reality that this is, in fact, the most sensible course of action brings about strong feelings of nausea.

[Schwarber Fan]

Hammel's 2nd half is just another reason people have the right to be upset that the FO didn't get someone better than Haren at the deadline.

[DiamondMind]

Hammel has nothing tonight, dont be fooled. He's maxing out at 92 and his breaking stuff is like...not breaking

 

Gonna need to break out the bats tonight in a big way

[Gilby]

Oh wow, Len's right; that will be an interesting negotiation between Avila and his dad this offseason. Is this the first time ever a GM's son is on his team?

[sontensei]

The rotation has been great so far this year. Just not many proven guys down the stretch besides lester...

[Guest]

Does rondon fan realize there are still like six weeks left before we have to deem hammel unusable for a playoff game?

 

What's the point of saying that?

[DiamondMind]

If we hit a bunch of warning track fly outs tonight....they're gonna actually go out. Wind is howling to LF

[BigSlick]

I guess Hammel is completely broken then? That's unfortunate

[DiamondMind]

I guess Hammel is completely broken then? That's unfortunate

 

That was by far his ugliest half inning of the season

[DiamondMind]

Dexter is -locked in-

 

Come on Schwarbs, just park one and put us right back in this

[DiamondMind]

what the [expletive] are you doing Fowler

[Sammys Boombox]

I think that's the third time Fowler has been thrown out just like that this season. It's getting really old.

[Guest]

Lol at Schwarber... you can't reach over the basket, it's not humanly possible.

 

Hahaha idiot

[Schwarber Fan]

Nice job, Dex.

 

Lucky for the Cubs, it is going to rain way before the 5th.

[DiamondMind]

this game is really pissing me off already :\

Three base error for hitting the ball with the glove when it's thrown, no? Edited August 19, 2015 by Wilson A2000
