8/2 Marlins (Fernandez) @ Cubs (Hammel) 7:05PM CST CSN

[Tryptamine]

Very happy with Heyward's progress lately.

[BigSlick]

Finish Him

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Anyone else expecting a 4k game from Javy tonight?

who would have thought he'd barely have 4 total by this point in the game?

[sweetpeteman]

After all that, after the awful end of June and early July and the fake rally by the Cardinals, if the scores hold up tonight, we're 9 up, lol

[Ski]

Okay, it's pretty clear he's not throwing fastballs in the zone, guys.

[Brian]

Reds take 4-3 lead in the bottom of the 7th, has anybody emerged from that bullpen that isn't a dumpster fire yet?

 

 

noooope

[Tryptamine]

Really wish it was Bryant here.

[Ski]

Jesus Christ Baez.

[David]

i wonder how hammel feels about the pep talk from a guy like 10 years younger than him lol

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Interesting move to pull Hammel so soon I think I would have let him pitch the 7th inning.

Iglesias has been good but he didn't pitch tonight.

[davell]

i feel so e-vindicated for strongly opposing the idea that warren would go into spring training competing for a rotation spot with hendricks (and arguing that he was clearly better than hammel - weird timing for this, i know). think it was sharma that was pushing that?

 

I think it was more than just him. In fact, I think it was most of them.

yeah, the way that inning ended is on me...

[Ski]

Wish we would have learned to recognize the off-speed pitches down in the zone, but three runs against Fernandez is pretty good.

[Andy]

Fine with pulling Hammel. Not worth doing it to pinch hit a hitter barely better than he is.

[BigSlick]

I woulda kept Hammel in, but you also got a whole day off for the bullpen last night so whatever

[Brian]

ok super bullpen, be super

Off day on Thursday, too.

[Tim]

Bullpen of Doom time.

This is my thinking. If you're going to pull him then at least make it worth it.

[David]

that's a dumb hit

[Ski]

How the hell did you hit that, dick.

We do have a certain Kris Bryant on the bench currently

[Brian]

I knew that was trouble as soon as Pedro fielded it

[David]

uhhh did that just happen
