8/31 Reds (lorenzen) @ Cubs (Hendricks) 7:05 on CSN

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I know baseball doesn't work this way, but the Reds really should use Chapman in the 8th in this specific game and go to the 8th inning guy for the 9th.

Price is probably the last manager in the league that would do it, too.

[UMFan83]

I really wish they did away with the strike zone box in games. I'm sick of getting pissed every other batter when a strike is called a ball or vice versa. I'd rather be in the dark again

[UMFan83]

Schwarber swung at ball four twice.

 

Yeah he's been swinging at a lot of balls lately. Mostly off speed stuff low

If were only a quick fix existed in the form of a night in the batting cages with his dad.

 

He's only been getting off-speed stuff lately, too. The scouting report is out on him.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Ok, let's do this. Get on base and someone dong.

[Schwarber Fan]

Gotta be this inning, boys.

He will make the adjustment just like Bryant did, just like Russell did

 

And he has a month to make it

[UMFan83]

Rizzo, homer or chapman is coming in

[UMFan83]

I don't understand why Rizzo is swinging at that low pitch

[UMFan83]

Wtf

[Derwood]

Rizzo, come on

[Ski]

Christ, keep swinging at [expletive], Rizzo.

[Schwarber Fan]

Rizzo trying to do too much.

[Ski]

To be fair, Rizzo got screwed on that strike two pitch four inches off the plate.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 70-45 (.609) when they draw 2 or more walks.... 4-10 (.286) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Good AB!

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Awesome at bat for Bryant.

[rawaction]

Bring up Montero!

[Careless]

Break Chapman's arm off, guys.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Yeah, he should have just started with Chapman but he deserves credit for not extending the stupid.

[UMFan83]

Here he comes... I'd like to see Montero PH here, moving Bryant to 3rd and Schwarber to LF

[Schwarber Fan]

Blow his arm out, Cubs.
