great. the injury turned him into 2016 Heyward with no defense

i'm really tired of commentators talking AGAIN about how the cubs should trade schwarber because he's an "AL player"

 

i demand he dong the indians to death

His fielding difficulties are so hilariously overstated because he had a couple of goofy looking misplays in the NLCS last year.

I'm not sure if this was mentioned earlier but Schwarber is the only player in franchise history to debut against the Indians.

[Agony and Ivy]

Schwarber up 3rd this inning and my productivity has dipped well below regular season day game levels at work.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Schwarber walks on a full count.

[UMFan83]

Good eye. He swung and missed through one pitch, not sure if it was offspeed. And he rolled over on another swing that went foul.

Took a couple of aggressive hacks which was awesome.

Here's one of the aggressive swings UMF and Agony mentioned.

I noticed the pitch clock in the outfield when they zoomed out. I hope they will implement those to prevent any more Pedro Baez's from taking too long.

From what couldnt be farther from an expert eye but he does look "off" with his timing

I'm certain he is...live BP, tee work and soft toss can't replicate game action, but he's not tentative or anything. Hands are quick but his leg kick and hand load are just a bit off just looking at those side shots. Whatever, if you're facing him you have to respect the dong whereas with Seal Boy there's an equal chance he would quit mid-at bat to head to the Jersey Shore or hit a flair single.

Ugh another half inning where Schwarbs ends up on deck. How are we going to ever going to be able to determine if he's still an elite RBI guy?

[UMFan83]

Schwarber will probably only get 1 AB unless Mesa hits around or they blow their 3 run lead. Make it count!

[UMFan83]

Double down the line and a slide!

[badger]

doubled and slid into second :yahoo:

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Schwarber double down the line. Slid into second, didn't think he'd push for two in the AFL but he did.

[PetermanRealityTour]

Forget my previous post! Never Doubt the Schwarbs!

 

[minnesotacubsfan]

soft slide. it doest appear to me hes moving full speed, but the camera angle is totally weird

[Old Style]

I'm calling it now. Schwarber will be the World Series MVP.

[UMFan83]

Schwarber double down the line. Slid into second, didn't think he'd push for two in the AFL but he did.

 

He wasn't exactly booking it to second but decent enough speed for him to get 2 bases on balls that would be a double in most situations.

 

He just advanced to 3rd on a bunt but he was mostly jogging. And now gets to trot home casually on a HR.

[Cubswin11]

The camera angle is weird along with the picture being off, but didn't it seem like the 1B should've made a play on that ball?
