6/13 Cubs (Hendricks) @ Dusty Baker's Nats (Scherzer) 6:05 PM CT CSN/ESPN/670

[Bull]

Going through the teeth of their rotation, against the back end of ours, and you know theyve been looking forward to this series. Honestly, I'll be happy if we can get 1 win this series. With that said, lets sweep these bums.

 

That's loser talk

But true.

[Omar]

but did you weigh in The Dusty Factor*

[philosophizer75]

Gonna be at this one. First time at nationals park.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

We are going to dong Scherzer to death again. The bats are about to get on a roll. Heyward's hitting. Rizzo and Bryant are donging. The Nats haven't seen anything yet.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

That's not the official Nationals account.

To be fair, that's from the SBNation Nats site. The Nats themselves may have tweeted it in a better format.

 

EDIT: yep.

[Omar]

looks like we'll have to walk Harper and Murphy before getting Zimmerman out 15 times this series

[Cubswin11]

Arrieta and Hammel both have higher OPS', wOBAs, and wRC+ than Ben Revere. Arrieta also has a higher BB% and a higher BA, OBP and SLG, Hammel has a higher BA and SLG and a nearly identical OBP. But CF lead off, dude.

.203/.259/.281/.540/45 OPS+

[badger]

speeds gotta speed when you cast your line, dude.

 

 

(I don't have any idea what that means).

[CubinNY]

Who told Dusty to bat Murphy behind Harper? There is no way he came up with that himself.

Pretty much every internet commenter, followed by the media, after the Cubs series earlier this season.

Hopefully, there's another extra inning game in there for him to get that many AB.

Josh Hamilton would know what that means

 

Revere has 2 stolen bases this season and has been caught 3 times. I think he just "looks like a leadoff hitter"

[BigSlick]

I literally can't get inside the mind of someone who predicts or expects the 2016 Cubs to lose a series to anyone, no matter what the rotation arrangements are.

 

Like, I'm as dramatic and prone to emotion more than anyone else here, and I still expect the Cubs to win every series they enter. (justifiably)

[Tim]

I have to be honest that I expect them to win every game at this point. I know they'll lose occasionally, but I'm always surprised when it happens.

[NOLA]

So, it's the Eric Gregg strikezone tonight. Looks like the inside and outside corners are strikesZ

[Omar]

oh, its gonna be that kinda night?

[Schwarber Fan]

Hendricks is going to have to be really, REALLY good tonight.

[UMFan83]

Look out Kerry, Roger and Randy

[Banedon]

Pitchtrax and this ump don't seem to agree.

[BigSlick]

*checks early box score*

 

Ah so Scherzer has his good stuff today. Well this will be a fun one

[BigSlick]

All the bad Nats are getting hits and doing stuff, stop that
