6/24 Cubs (Hendricks) @ Marlins (Koehler) 6:10 CDT CSC

[CubInOK]

Soon enough we'll be giving Contreras an OF glove. Then he will have become Schwarber 2.0.

they were talking last night that Joe was thinking about starting him tonight in the OF. I think it's only a matter of time. Everyone on the team can play every position. Hendricks may suit up at C tomorrow night just for [expletive] and giggles.

Rizzo at C would just laugh like smoked 3 bowls of high-quality weed before the game.

[weis21]

change up should do it here for Stanton

[weis21]

If this damn stadium is AC then why do all the pitchers still sweat like it's 90 degrees (for both teams)

[BigSlick]

God there's nothing I hate more than having a half inning where we score runs and then in the next half inning they tie it or take the lead

 

So god damn demoralizing

 

Christ almighty

[NotSoSober]

jesus christ

[Schwarber Fan]

And we're done scoring for the night.

[weis21]

Holy horsefeathers

[gobigred]

Well ive never lost a over under bet in the first inning and there you go 4 unearned runs mfer

[BigSlick]

This past week has infected some kind of voodoo into the Cubs

 

I mean its whatever its just not fun to watch

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

And that's why you don't walk people horsefeathers.

[illiniguy]

Can't walk guys with a 4 run lead.

[weis21]

No worries, it'll be 8-4 Cubs going into the bottom of the second

[17 Seconds]

the inning was over on strike 3 five minutes ago

[Andy]

Ugh.

[weis21]

At least it's 4-4 and not 0-4?

 

#silver lining

[Agony and Ivy]

He wasn't even horsefeathering competitive that inning. horsefeathers off Hendricks.

[weis21]

the inning was over on strike 3 five minutes ago

yep

[weis21]

He wasn't even [expletive] competitive that inning. [expletive] off Hendricks.

what do you mean "competitive"? he was missing his spots and was squeezed on a few pitches (most notably a strike three to Ozuna).

 

ETA: All 4 runs were unearned because of the error to start the inning.

Exactly. Pretty sure I haven't harbored a negative thought about the Cubs once this year. They'll win. Plus there's this catcher guy who might be an elite hitter and also framed up at least 2 or 3 pitches that were well off the plate for strikes that inning.

 

Imagine this emoji with a body, laid out in a beach chair with his hands behind his head. That's me 8-)

[BigSlick]

God its annoying though, it would have been really nice to have a stress free pounding where people just pad their stats and you get out of the 4 game losing streak, and now you have to play a baseball game

[BigSlick]

Yes that's right, I consider playing a competitive baseball game a great injustice, thats what this team has done to me

[Schwarber Fan]

Gotta wonder how different that 1st inning is if Russell doesn't make that error. Brutal stretch we're going through here.

I mean I get it. But it's also not the end of the world that you have to watch you favorite baseball team play a baseball game. It sucks, but nothing you can do other than to see what happens. It's far, far from over.

He was nibbling with a 4 run lead to back to back hitters including a guy who's getting dominated in the zone every at bat with rare exceptions. He walks them both then grooves a pitch to Bour. That's not being competitive because at no point in the Ozuna/Stanton at bats did he remotely challenge.

 

Unearned runs are an awful statistic because he created the majority of the traffic that inning himself and of course gave up the dong.

It's good with me. I view this type of stuff as various levels of poking bear as well as getting these dudes ready for the mindset of stomping someone when they rally. The Giants aren't going to lay down in the playoffs after we out up a 4 run inning. Just score 10 now.
