7/30 World Champion and First Place Cubs (Lackey) at Brewers (Davies) 1:10 CSN, TBS

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I know his bullpen is not good and has been used a lot, but Counsell trying to steal a 7th inning from Davies doesn't make much sense. Especially since they're gonna lose Davies to the LLWS in a week or so.

Why are we looking for a backup catcher?

[raw]

Caratini about to Wally Pipp Rizzo

[Bote McBoteface]

Tiny Carrot!

He did this with Jimmy Nelson in Washington the other day too

Because we didn't let Caratini catch and Contreras play 1B even though Contreras caught a night game last night.

Almora starting this game over both Happ and Schwarber is puzzling.

Looks like they're playing the hot hand

 

Happ hitting 200 with 2 XBH since break

Almora 300 with 3 XBH in half the PA, also 2 doubles off RHP

[itisallpartoftheplan]

So Grimm, Rondon, and Davis if we hold it??

[Sammy Sofa]

So yesterday they score when I'm taking a horsefeathers, and today it's when I go take a shower. Guess I have to spend every Cubs game in the bathroom now. Who knew all that piss breaking is what was actually keeping Dexter from ending up in baseball hell.

Happ has had a bad 30 PA or so, yes. Almora can play against LHP all he wants, but him doing well in like 7 PA against RHP isn't very compelling. Especially on a day you're sitting Rizzo I think you have to keep Almora out of there.

I agree with you, this is just the impression I'm getting.

 

Happ has looked a bit weary.

Exactly; he's no longer Piss Break and he's paying the price.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Great job by Grimm!!

while you were gone i was looking for an old post of yours and instead found your "theo is a condescending horsefeathers" rant from fall 2014 that i had completely forgotten about

[Derwood]

you clods probably don't even know who stephen bruno is

 

what the hell were you paying attention to on this board from 2012-2014

 

We didn't. The team licked butts. We aren't going to pay attention to the Bears this year either, so get your incredulity ready in four years when we don't remember some random roster move this off season

Sounds about right; he's a [expletive] who has done great things.

I have no idea how a joke about how ridiculous the name "Victor Caratini" is has spiraled off this far, but I'm so happy that it has.

You know who else can't admit when they are disastrously wrong? Trump.

David forgets that he's plugged into the cloud and has instant recall of every sports transaction in history, and his circuits start buzzing when we humans don't remember them.
