9/2 - Reds (Iglesias) @ Cubs (Hammel) 1:20 CSN

[David]

We've got a game in like 4 hours so somebody had to do it since sneaky and CT aren't stepping up to the plate.

 

If we lose, #blameCT

[Sammy Sofa]

Why the [expletive] would TLS start over both Baez and Castro. This is AN OUTRAGE.

.174/.240/.217 for Tommy La Stella vs. righties so he's barely better than my dog.

[Brian]

i feel as though there will a be a cornucopia of dongs this afternoon.

Schwarber and Coghlan are both 2/3 against him (with a HR dong and a 2B half-dong, respectively).

 

-edited for clarity.

[Flames24Rulz]

No more La Stella, please. I have no idea what the guy does well but I know he shouldn't be playing over Baez and Starlin.

 

watch him go 3/4 today.

Warm with the wind blowing out should mean dongs will be plentiful. Please be good Hammel today.

[Schwarber Fan]

Fred gave me the go-ahead to take the next turn if sneaky and CS don't show up. That said, if we win today - keep rolling with it, David.

I'd gladly pay a ridiculous amount of money to see just one video of the disco-locker room thing after a win.

World Series winning collector's edition DVDs typically run about $50, right?

i hope we get to see some of it amidst the champagne celebrations

[Sammys Boombox]

Rizzo's Disco Ball would be a great username.

I'm sure this has already been covered, but can someone remind me why Chris Coghlan hits 3rd?

Well, for one, hitting 3rd doesn't mean what you think it does.

 

Second, i think one reason Maddon does it is if they bring in a lefty to face schwarber, coghlan, and rizzo, you get your favorable righty on lefty matchup by subbing out coghlan

I don't understand why people have a big problem with this.

 

Especially now that Austin Jackson and his .767 OPS against lefties can we subbed in when TE opponent tries to play matchups. Previously it was Denofria and his ~.550 OPS against LHP that would hit in the heart of the Cubs order

Who's the first one out of the pen today - Cahill? Richard (in Farley's voice)?

 

Assuming Hammel is only going 4+.
