8/7: Dumb Cobs (Conservative Jake) vs More Dumber Giants (Matt Moore lol), 9 pm ESPN

[SpongeWorthy]

Also I know he's sitting a lot already but can you start zobrist at all at this point? The division isn't exactly locked up and his bat is dead.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Dfa Zobrist. Anyone that wants him can have him for a bag of balls.

[Agony and Ivy]

Throw strikes [expletive]

[Cubswin11]

"He can hit" as the graphic flashes and shows a .550 OPS from whoever this guy batting is

Are we sure this isn't Marc Trestman's long lost son?

[17 Seconds]

This team has no chance at beating good teams if they continue to fail with RISP. This is good enough to beat the Giants, it won't be good enough to beat the Nationals.

 

good point

[We Got The Whole 9]

What if every time we try to praise players (Sofa today with Willson, Duke with pretty much everyone else) they immediately turn to ass and it turns out Rondon Fan and all the other negative dorks last year were the key to our success and now this year We Got the Whole 9 is the key contributor?

I've only been negative with KB and Zobrist. It's not like I'm bitching left and right like I did early on. [emoji53]

[Cubswin11]

How do you walk that nerd, Wade

[FlyTheW]

Wade is broken. There is no excuse for walking Kelby Tomlinson.

[Brian]

I feel like Cain is a Grichuck, in that if he only played the Cubs his career would be fine.

 

Didn't we knock him around at wrigley?

 

6IP 1ER last year at SF... looks like they did beat him handily twice in '15 though.

Nice game, mostly, fellas. Keep getting more wins

First class analysis right here. Explain how you practice this skill? And clearly it ages as Allen craig was a master one year and terrible at baseball the next, lending to the theory that maybe it's luck driven, but maybe you have it figured out?

 

This is the same handwringing that went on last year with the "Cubs can't beat good pitchers crowd" and it's horsefeathering mind numbing

Dude, just get your hits in a different order.

[squally1313]

Like 5 players in the lineup tonight had a key hit in horsefeathering game 7 of the World Series less than a year ago, but yeah, screw these chokers.

As evidenced by Allen Craig's example this skill ages terribly. They're all awful now.

This was the same park, 9-10 months ago, like 5 of these guys had big hits to lead a 3+ run comeback in the 9th inning in game 4 of the NLDS

did he take a bite of sandwich before throwing the ball?

 

Probably an ice cream sandwich.

they'll beat the nationals in the playoffs. i have no doubt Dusty will just horsefeathers horsefeathers up and be outmanaged by Joe when their season is on the line

[Aaron_Kennelly]

They must not have been that big of hits that we were missing out on if we still won.

Apparently Javier Lopez is being credited with the ITP HR

pretty impressive for an inactive reliever

[Gmoney08]

These guys are so unclutch like Arod and Bonds..

 

Need a pro hitter like Doug Mientkeviczzzzzz or Todd Walker..

 

Amirite?

[Aaron_Kennelly]

What base does Almora make it to on that ball that Javy pimped and still went inside-the-park?
