HOLY horsefeathering horsefeathers SCHWARBER

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I’m taking credit for that

[Andy]

Jesus horsefeathers Schwarber

[Ding Dong Johnson]

also, what a bummer is what that pitcher is probably thinking

[Andy]

I'm going to hate myself if swapping Schwarber out for Judge at the break costs me the HR Derby

[itisallpartoftheplan]

6 outs from winning the crosstown cup!!

[Aaron_Kennelly]

My god, he's fixed and he's better than ever.

[UMFan83]

Schwarber OPS is up to .742, higher than Heyward and Russell

[We Got The Whole 9]

Schwarber's approach has been splendid tonight

i realize what you were doing there but the fact that those are two absolute extreme defensive wizards it makes it kinda have the opposite effect for me

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Jay must have a concussion or something. That was not a smart decision...

 

Did you copy and paste that from a Bears game thread?

 

hahaha

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Schwarber's approach has been splendid tonight

 

I also like when he decides to hit the ever-loving horsefeathers out of some baseballs.

[Brian707]

6 outs away from the crosstown cup. i wonder if nsb will crash

 

I wonder if Theo is going on another bender

Has Russell really been a wizard in the field this season?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I’m always shocked when someone catches up to a koji fastball

2nd in baseball in DRS in far fewer innings than simmons (the leader)

 

UZR isn't as high on him this year. only 6th in UZR/150

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Bring on the Dodgers.

[Cubswin11]

I know there's ebbs and flows with most, none elite, relievers but man I'm ready for Koji to be bumped down to below Strop, Rondon, Monty, CJ and Davis in the pecking order.

[halplm]

I am starting to have a small amount of optimism.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

boy, how long has it been since we’ve seen these guys pose with such an important trophy?

[We Got The Whole 9]

Still disappointed we couldn't hit Manuel Gonzalez but we are definitely playing like a playoff team now. Love what I'm seeing day in and day out.

[17 Seconds]

wow, they actually have a physical crosstown cup? i kind of wish they lost tonight now

Definitely. I'm still fine with him. And I think he'll do better. Certainly not a bad guy to have in your pen. But I think Rondon and, especially, Strop are ready to move back into higher-leverage roles.

Gotta fill up that trophy room somehow
