7/17 World Champion Cubs (Lester) @ Braves (Teheran) 6:35 CT WGN/670

Atlanta made a mistake not building a stadium with a roof. It's either hot as balls and/or raining in 70% of the games there.

[DouglasDorsey]

Anybody know what station this is on Direct TV if it is?

 

649 for me

 

thats one is blacked out here.. and doesnt look like WGN on direct tv actually has it. Usually a local iowa channel picks it up. I cant seem to find it though

[JonJayCutler]

I'm currently getting an episode of "Extra" while the guide says Cubs-Braves. Might have something to do with the rain delay, we'll see.

[Sosa21MVP]

The rain delay where it isn't raining.

[WoodRules]

Directv is doing a free preview of Extra Innings until the 20th. It's on 732 at my house.

I was shocked to learn it didn't.

It worked out perfect for me this week, I don't get ABC7 or WGN.

[Derwood]

ETA for game starting? Still listed as weather delay on mlb.tv

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Ready to go.

[Schwarber Fan]

Is there a particular reason that opposing broadcasters have a problem pronouncing Schwarber's name?

 

Gary Thorne and Chip Caray both say "Sch-warr-ber". Not like he was a huge baseball story in the past World Series or anything...

...how do you pronounce it

[We Got The Whole 9]

Well Jonny has matched his out total from last start already

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Much better.

[WoodRules]

Lester makes it out of the 1st.

[bcl412]

Those pitches were pretty.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Now let's slice this turkey up

It's hard to describe the way they are pronouncing it. It's not like the word "war," it's like a like Schw-R-ber (vocalize the letter R).

[We Got The Whole 9]

Man nice swing Kyle

[MarkR]

Feels like the gun is off tonight. Teheran's stuff *looks* faster than the 92-95 he's been sitting at.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I saw Jorge got sent down again. The big thing for the Royals was that he was under control for three more seasons after this one. Now I'm thinking it might have been a blessing for us to get out from the $4.6 million per for a dude who so far has been below replacement.

[bcl412]

I thought that was a Lester dong

[We Got The Whole 9]

What was the EV on that?

[Cubswin11]

Why is Javy starting over Russell tonight?
