[NOLA]

lol Heyward dude

He lunges at every pitch.

[Gilby]

If Schwarber were healthy, we'd be dealing with an awkward Heyward benching soon.

[bcl412]

You know, we could have DHed for Heyward

[NOLA]

If Schwarber were healthy, we'd be dealing with an awkward Heyward benching soon.

What do you think is going to happen if Soler comes back hot? More Contreras behind the plate?

[David]

wtf is up with jake

[David]

lol nevermind

[Andy]

lol Heyward dude

He lunges at every pitch.

It's almost impressive that he's totally unable to pull the ball unless it's to second base

Which is a very unwieldy way of saying he can't hit line drives

[Banedon]

Are Sox fans chanting something?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Are Sox fans chanting something?

"we are meth heads" is what I heard

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Eaton showing off that glove

[BigSlick]

This is the only time I've been happy about Javier Baez being aggressive

[BigSlick]

OH crap i forgot we don't have the pitcher batting, THIS OWNS

[Tim]

This is the only time I've been happy about Javier Baez being aggressive

uh...his aggressiveness has gotten us many extra bases on incredible slides this year.

I would assume that'll be the case, then Heyward will probably lose some time in the Arrieta and Lester starts, especially vs lefties.

 

Although, TBH, I think Theo has entered full on "horsefeathers it" mode and moves Soler for a minor league pitcher and trades some combo of Candyman/Zaguins/Caratini for Reddick very soon.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

stop showing replays of that fat turd making the play of his career

[BigSlick]

I hate this game already

[Tryptamine]

This team is full of base running morons.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

poopie!

[UMFan83]

Lmao I can't even be mad that was hilarious

[David]

ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[BigSlick]

This is the only time I've been happy about Javier Baez being aggressive

uh...his aggressiveness has gotten us many extra bases on incredible slides this year.

And I've hated it every time

 

I'm allowed to be wrong

 

I also don't mind him being aggressive there with 2 outs and a possible rundown, just do whatever

[Cubbie Swagger]

That was some excellent base running all around.

[David]

This team is full of base running morons.

 

That was actually smart

 

EDIT - Also, the Cubs have been the 5th best baserunning team in baseball
