8/19 Tigers (Norris) @ Cubs (Lester) 7:05 PM WPWR, ESPN

[DiamondMind]

Norris features a plus changeup, so I'm obviously terrified for Bryant's AB's...but we should be fine. Lester's been great, and the offense has been firing on all cylinders lately, especially Dex. Cubs win 24-5.

Nobody's ever actually been banned from this site; they all just finally pushed Bob a little bit too far.

@BruceMiles2112: #Cubs Wednesday: Fowler CF, Schwarber LF, Bryant 3B, Rizzo 1B, Soler RF, Castro 2B, Ross C, Lester P, Russell SS

I've watched that Schwarber HR from yesterday like 10 times. How did he turn around a 95mph high fastball like that? Kid is unreal.

[Fred Hornkohl]

This is Maddon's 82nd unique lineup in 118 games.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Gilby]

Glad Schwarber is in there. I completely understand sitting him against Kershaw and Sale-like lefties, but we can do without the Denorfia platoon against most LHP.

Interesting article on Norris

What would going to 8 Cubs games have to do with you being a troll here?

 

Why would i spend money on a team i hate and troll? why would you buy food you don't eat? why would you buy a car you don't drive? i mean [expletive] this is basic stuff here..

Denorfia has quietly been pretty bad for about 3-4 weeks. And yeah, that's how it should be. Schwarber against all pitchers that throw under a mid 90s fastball with their left arm.

Wow. I hadn't seen that yet. JD's gushing is awesome.

The sound off his bat on that dong is maybe the best sound I've heard all year so far.

The pitcher's reaction immediately when he hits it is great

[d_money]

Can we call Schwarber "Man Child"?

[DiamondMind]

So many awesome throwbacks this year

[Andy]

Damn. If the throw were just a tiny bit better Kinsler would've been toast.

[Schwarber Fan]

Kinsler owns us.

[ARCubsFan]

How about getting Kinsler out?

[DiamondMind]

I wish Miggy would stop coming to the plate with people on base

[DiamondMind]

I feel like it's a miracle whenever we get Miggy out

What year jersey is this? Looks Gabby Hartnett 1930's era

[DiamondMind]

take a shot every time daniel norris living in a van is mentioned

[DiamondMind]

What year jersey is this? Looks Gabby Hartnett 1930's era

 

I think it's early 20's, not 100% sure

[DiamondMind]

I was wrong, 1937
