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

Have to figure they'll use Ramirez at some point today also.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Zobrist looks like he's holding a Shake Weight in his hands. Has he always held the bat like that during his at-bats?

 

Oddly, that was the first time.

[BigSlick]

Cahill for a 2nd inning is gonna make my glutes clench but you don't really have a choice after working the bullpen so much the last few days

His third, right?

don't look now, but he's already done 2...

[Cubbie Swagger]

Doesn't that seem like a risky spot to run?

 

With 2 strikes and 2 outs I think it's a decent gamble. Bryant isn't slow, Zobrist is high contact, with that count you're likely to get an off speed pitch and Zobrist is less likely to get an XBH.

Alright, makes sense.

[NotSoSober]

walk him again please

[Gilby]

I'd honestly just IBB him. Zimmerman is really terrible now.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

JD says you wouldn't put him on. I put him on.

[BigSlick]

I'm all over the place with my posts today, smh, I need to improve my control on posts

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Where the hell did that miss?

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Harper is running on the first pitch here. Or one of them.

[NotSoSober]

JD says you wouldn't put him on. I put him on.

maybe you don't if its murphy hitting behind him, but it's zimmerman

[Omar]

It's sad that the Washington Nationals are stuck with the wrath of Dusty Baker for ~2 years. I kinda liked their franchise. They deserve better.

 

+1

 

I was embarrassed for them when they went from Williams to Dusty.

 

It probably doesn't help to have Jacque Jones as an assistant hitting coach

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Attaboy, Trevor Cahill.

[BigSlick]

Well done Trevor

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Cahill is a beautiful man

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Let's score seven runs this inning and relax for the ninth.

[Omar]

Damn Cahill.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Cahill with 3 scoreless, a single and a run. Wow.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

It was just a game ago that somebody said the Cahill magic was gone. It's back.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Cahill is a beautiful man

why don't marry him if you love him so much?

[bukie]

That's about all you can reasonably expect from Cahill in one day.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

but yeah, this could be "the Cahill game"

[Schwarber Fan]

Pat Hughes Chevy commercials are cringeworthy
