8/28 Cubs (Lester) @ Dodgers (Stewart), 3:10 PM, CSN/TBS

[NotSoSober]

I enjoyed the 1 inning of Vin Skully. It's been so long since I have heard him call a game so that was fun while it lasted.

He's horrible, but I'm sticking with him.

[Gmoney08]

I might be the only one here but I still love listening to Scully. Im sure hes lost some heat off the fastball but I find his stories genuinely interesting. I love him talk about the players of yesteryear & he finds new nuggets of info and stories that arent on the newswire.

[NotSoSober]

nice double play. time to score some runs

[soccer10k]

Addison is a vacuum out there.

[Derwood]

Let's please not waste this very good Lester start

[David]

j hey!

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Heyward will never make another out

[NotSoSober]

Keep this up Heyward

[soccer10k]

Imagine if Heyward actually does get hot over the next two months.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

sure would be nice if Javy could do something with the bat again

[soccer10k]

Please no GIDP, Ross. At least get Lester up so Fowler leads off the 6th.

[NotSoSober]

i'd still let Javy impregnate me, ut yea, he's been bad at the plate laely

Or even better, draw a walk.

[NotSoSober]

damnit

Why is Heyward the only one capable of getting a hit off this guy? Edited August 28, 2016 by KrisBryantisaBeast

He should rarely be playing vs RHP

We're in the twilight zone.

[philosophizer75]

Joe plays javy at 3rd when lester pitches. I don't think he was in the lineup today due to any offensive merits or advantages.

[bcl412]

Rob Segedin sounds like the name of a random midfielder from 1992 or something

[NotSoSober]

I have no clue what Vin Sclly is talking about, but it would make for one hell of a bed time story

95% of the people that don't like Scully are younger people that have no attention span. I too find his stories to be compelling because he does his own research and still has a knack for the delivery. Sometimes he has trouble recognizing pitches or will do something like say Rizzo popped up when he meant to say Zobrist, but that is minor in my eyes. His memory is horsefeathering incredible and every time he recalls something from back when a player like Jackie played it blows my mind.

 

Maybe because I spent much of my childhood in LA and listened to him for years, but he's the best that's ever been in my lifetime and it's not particularly close and I'll never understand the boring label that idiots on Twitter and message boards have tagged him with the last few years.

[NotSoSober]

Give him the gold glove as well

Keep holding that chicken

This is his primary job.

 

Stories are fine, but long and rambling tales to nowhere are just bad. Scully has a classic voice but in this millennium he's been way past his prime, he would've been better off confined to radio or given a partner.

[Derwood]

There's no reason a 0-0 game should be on pace to take 3 hours to complete
