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

[Careless]

Why does this Honda ad woman have the makeup of an unearthed corpse?

[Ski]

If Grimm can have a spectacular meltdown, surely Chapman can do the same.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

I wish Javy was here already...

[UMFan83]

Bothers me that Rizzo keeps swinging at that garbage. His pitch recognition is supposed to be really good but his walks have plummeted and he's swinging at a ton of pitches outside the zone

[Ski]

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.

 

STOP TYPING YOUR IDIOCY!!!!!!!

Not sure if sarcastic or not.

[UMFan83]

Seriously, for what reason does LaStella bat here?

[Thed Hoyerstein]

jesus, 102mph

[rawaction]

Seriously, for what reason does LaStella bat here?

 

I'd rather see Szczur. Didn't he double off him earlier this year?

[ARCubsFan]

Seriously, for what reason does LaStella bat here?

Have you seen the Cubs bench? And nobody is hitting Chapman

[UMFan83]

Yeah I see Montero on that bench

[UMFan83]

Is Maddon drunk? Wtf

[Aaron_Kennelly]

wtf

[Schwarber Fan]

He went, but a home plate ump ever making that call is ridiculous.

[abuck1220]

wow maddon getting worked by brian price.

[ARCubsFan]

Have you seen the Cubs bench? And nobody is hitting Chapman

 

Yeah I see Montero on that bench

Yeah Montero is totally hitting Chapman

[Schwarber Fan]

Worst decision made by a manager in baseball this season.

[UMFan83]

I get that if its successful you are a single away from tying it but if it's not you allow a still fresh Chapman to mow through the bottom of the Cubs order in the 9th

[Guest]

so we end up getting 1 PA from la stella and nothing else. not the greatest managing.

[Schwarber Fan]

Montero has a better chance of running into one than LaStella.

[ScrubMD]

Hopefully Haren can throw a no-hitter tomorrow.

Wow ok. Maybe we should just forfeit when he comes into the game. Montero is the best bat on the bench, is considerably better than LaStella, has considerably more power than LaStella, etc

[BigSlick]

lead off doubles are some sort of kryptonite to this team right now

I mean honestly when you have the bottom of the order up against Chapman it's pretty much over.
