6/10 Cubs (Hammel) @ Braves (Norris) - 6:35 pm CDT (CSN)

[Clem Fandango]

I will be in Atlanta to attend the games today and tomorrow with my wife and 4 year old. Driving north now!

 

Edit- actually my wife is driving while i pretend to work on the iPad.

 

I'm headed there as well! Going Saturday and Sunday! Also, I meant to make this for Saturday's game but I'll post it here because I'm gonna be busy tomorrow...

The Cubs are -600 on Bovada tonight, you have to be an insane person to bet 6/1 on an individual MLB game.

 

 

That can't be right. Most places the Cubs are between -230 and -250

Yeah I was on Oddsharks and just looked at all the lines from the books they show, everyone else was in the -170 to -250 range but Bovada was huge for some reason

wonder how many "Ender's Game" references have been made by their local sports writers

[Omar]

No Coghlin after those match-ups, thank god

As a gamblin' man 6-1 sounds like great odds to put money on the Braves really because I think the Braves have a better than 16.67% chance of winning this game

 

But I'll never put money on an opposing team because that just seems like a great way to destroy your own psyche

Per 670 the Score, Rizzo is scratched due to back tightness

 

I'm good with the injuries stopping right now

Zobrist would make more sense at 1B, but whatever.

Especially ones that will remain nagging the rest of the year like backs and hammys

 

Plexiglass principle!

[BigSlick]

Yeah seems weird to put Baez at first when you could play him literally at any other infield spot and come out of it with a better defense but as said

 

Whatever

As I've said before, this team needs to bring Rusty Jones out of retirement.

 

I'm grateful that all of the injuries have occurred to the hitters and the pitchers have had a sterling injury record. 2015 was a bit of a fluke in that we suffered almost no injuries to our starting rotation and I want to see that continue.

hammy, back tightness, hammy

 

do these fucks not stretch??

do these [expletive] not stretch??

 

BRING BACK ZAMBRANO AS THE POTASSIUM MENTOR.

[BigSlick]

It's been like 48 hours and i'm freakin jonesin' for some Cubs

[Tim]

We suck!

[BigSlick]

Ahhh two strike outs and a warning track fly.

 

Be sure to make this garbage pitcher remember he's bad

[NOLA]

So I am stuck having to listen to the Chipster as my option tonight?

I don't understand how this happens. Are the Braves your local broadcast or something?

[BigSlick]

Nice start for Hammel

[Guancous]

Gerrit Cole left in the 3rd inning of tonight's game. He wasn't ejected and didn't indicate that he was in any pain. Even the Pittsburgh announcers are wondering why he left.

[BigSlick]

Zobrist, btw, is back

It's the only option for the game on MLB Extra Innings.

Weird. If you have mlbtv on a Bluray or something similar, both feeds are available.

Why is Russell so bad lately?

I don't know. Not concerned long term but it's difficult to watch him struggle
