5/8 Dusty Baker's Nats (Roark) @ CUBS (Jake) 1:20 PM CDT WGN/MLBN

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Everything is fine.

[bukie]

Looks like the Cubs may have to score runs to win today.

[gobigred]

not sure that was a double by zimmerman

[Gilby]

I blame Lackey for throwing the pitch that injured Schwarber that forced Bryant to play mostly outfield, causing him to miss that last groundball.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Dex is fine.

[Sammy Sofa]

Fowler scoffs at puny things like pain.

[NotSoSober]

wrist is fine, IMO

[David]

hell yeah dex

[BigSlick]

Good to see Dex getting beaned has done nothing to affect his Baseball Godhood

[Cubbie Swagger]

Damn, so that hand must not feel too bad.

[Careless]

If Fowler had played the first half like this last year, we would have had 100 wins

[Bote McBoteface]

 

He's just mad that Contreras wasn't called up.

 

Nevermind that Contreras would have likely been as bad behind the plate, if not worse. It's a weird crusade he's on.

How do you figure that? Screw you guys, what's the point of arguing.

 

What's the point of arguing over Federowicz being called up? There isn't one, thats why they're calling it a weird crusade.

 

Fowler's hand is OK :D

[bcl412]

Why is he swinging at pitches like that?

[soccer10k]

Time to atone for your miscue in the top half, Bryant

[David]

atone for your sins, KB

[ScrubMD]

Come on Heyward, at least hit your weak grounder to the right side.

[BigSlick]

I'm sorry, even with me intellectually appreciating Heyward I'm becoming emotionally resentful of him as a hitter

 

Its beyond my control

[Schwarber Fan]

Heyward hits a ground ball to the left side for the first time in his life, of course.

[NotSoSober]

at least he could have rolled that over to 2B like he normally does

[Cubbie Swagger]

If Fowler had played the first half like this last year, we would have had 100 wins

Considering we're only talking about an additional 3 wins, you could say that about a lot of guys. Castro, etc.

3 wins is actually a ton to attribute to one player's half season, but yeah

Because he's basically been described as a work in progress at best right now defensively. I agree, there's no point in arguing that it would have been worth bringing him up for two weeks.

[UMFan83]

Heyward is 1 for his last 28 AB since his 4 hit "breakout game"

[David]

lame. do your thing, rizz. preferably by way of dong.

i think that's mainly been in reference to framing/receiving

 

he's a monster at throwing tho, at least from what i've seen.
