5/6 Dusty Baker's Nats (The Rural Scherzer) @ Cubs (Lackey) 1:20 CDT CSN/MLBN

[mul21]

Are all the Cubs hits from lefties today?

 

No, Lackey got one early.

[illiniguy]

He meant Javy.

I get those two confused all the time too

It's the sexiness.

Lackey hits righty, right?

[Bryants Disco Ball]

He meant Javy.

 

That's so not as impressive then.

That PED report that implicates Daniel Murphy can come out any day now

Haha, because of course Lackey is the one righty to get a hit today.

Bryant and Rizzo 0-6 with 6 K's and we still put up 7 runs through 5 vs Max

I could have sworn Rizzo whipped out a dong today.

Ooops meant Baez

I think he may be making fun of Dan Shaughnessy and his UConn women's basketball tweet.

This is in reference to UCONN, right?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

This is just so much [expletive] fun

 

I don't even know how to wrap my head around how good this team is. Someone's got to be the best team in the league every year, but I can't remember a team being so much better than everyone else by so much. They could spot the other team 3.5 and still be over .500.

 

And that's with two starters injured, a few guys in AAA who should probably see the majors later this year, and the pitching staff being managed to go easy on them.

Good lord, this is amazing. So many dongs. I can't wait to see what we do to Brewers and Reds pitching with the wind blowing out.

And it appears Bryant has gotten better despite already being 24!

i know less than nothing about anything relating to college sports, but i figured that part was jokey. i'm more making fun of him for making that tweet after a month ago projecting them to decline.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

I mean, there is nothing that would surprise me with this team. I'm all in for 117. And +300. We are just so horsefeathering good.

[Thusly Boned]

F.P. Santangelo (Nats color guy) is one of the biggest homers this side of Hawk Harrelson. To hear him tell it, the only reason the Cubs are winning is that Scherzer throws hard and "on days like this" all a batter has to do against a power pitcher is touch it to get it out.

 

He's also surprised that Lackey can strike guys out at this point in his career. Even though his k/9 has been higher the past few seasons than it was early in his career.

[Schwarber Fan]

If we're getting Harper one day, lets put him in LF.

[Cubbie Swagger]

Omg, I was so ready for Ross to round 2nd right there.

What does the "plexiglass" refer to again?

It looked like he momentarily thought about it and then said, "Nah, I'm too old for that horsefeathers!".

Reminds me of little league, where there was one team stacked with all the good players

he said that the cubs would decline because teams that take big jumps (2014-15) usually fall back. nevermind the fact that the 2015 team had a drastically different roster than 2014, rendering anything about 2014 irrelevant, and nevermind the offseason the cubs had. i just thought it was a really, really poor choice of an example of a plexiglas team.

 

if he wanted a good plexiglas team, the astros might've been a better choice.

MOAR RUNS

Got to stop that 8th run Dusty

I do have to give their TV crew some credit for last night's game. They were very critical of the umpire with respect to the Fowler ejection. All things considered, I thought they did a decent job with the broadcast last night.
