6/7 Cubs (Hendricks) @ Phillies (Eickoff), 6:05 CT, WGN

[BigSlick]

Man, I don't know what Bryant was looking at there

[Sammy Sofa]

Stop swinging at garbage, Bryant.

 

Joe really needs to send him a hint.

[bcl412]

I wanna see a sealdong

[ConstableRabbit]

"Is it up to Tommy LaStella"

[UMFan83]

Has Zobrist always been this insanely streaky?

[soccer10k]

Was hoping Howard would that thing into leftcenter.

[Ski]

It's not too much to ask Howard to botch that hop, methinks.

[BigSlick]

Has Zobrist always been this insanely streaky?

I mean, his hot streak lasted like a full *month* so I mean...what?

 

If anyones been streaky its really been Rizzo

[UMFan83]

Not even sure I want LaStella to walk Zobrist into scoring position because that means Montero has to bat

[Sammy Sofa]

Has Zobrist always been this insanely streaky?

 

Has he ever had a sudden bad short stretch of games in his long career?

 

Probably.

Yeah I was just thinking about how he had a similar 0-17ish streak in April. Feels like either he's hitting everything or nothing.

I believe Ross is in the game

[CubinNY]

Yeah, outside of the first week of the season Montero has been hot garbage.

[David]

why the horsefeathers wouldn't you just send him and force them to make a play?

 

now we have to get another 2 out hit

[ConstableRabbit]

It's 3am somewhere

[BigSlick]

Here's how absurdly good this Cubs team is: If they don't win this game they actually have a losing record in 1 run games, which is just stupid for a 40-16 team

[CubinNY]

Yeah, outside of the first week of the season Montero has been hot garbage.

But Ross is up.

[Irrelevant Dude]

why the [expletive] wouldn't you just send him and force them to make a play?

Because he would have been out by 20 feet?

[Agony and Ivy]

If we ban the shift like Girardi wants is the no doubles defense then illegal?

[UMFan83]

Oh man. Was really hoping he would have been sent. Probably a 20% chance of scoring but that's about monteros odds of getting on base

[soccer10k]

Come on, Rossy!

[BigSlick]

It's now up to David Ross, who's like a mini hero of this season

 

He's pretty bad against right handed hitting though, so lets see

[Gilby]

I was hoping we'd get Wavin' Gary there. That's a pretty long throw for the second baseman.

[Tim]

I'm thinking suicide squeeze ala major league.

[bcl412]

Show us your grandpa weiner Ross.
