[BigSlick]

wow justin wilson sucks

[soccer10k]

Javy would have let that bunt drop.

[Andy]

I want Candelario back.

[Schwarber Fan]

Haha. Sometimes it feels like all these Ls are there same.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Avila has to take that AB. I mean, horsefeathers, it's a 1-run game with the bases loaded and 2 outs in the 8th against a nasty closer. You have a proven big league hitter on the bench that happens to play the same position as the shitty AAAA player coming up to hit. What the hell? You even have another horsefeathering catcher in Schwarber on the bench, if you are worried about using your backup catcher.

[UMFan83]

Somehow the extra year of control is a detriment

[NotSoSober]

I preferred when I forgot this guy was even traded for

[Ding Dong Johnson]

boy am I glad we traded for that guy

[TMan92]

Joe needs to explain this horsefeathers. What a horribly managed game.

I'd be intrigued to hear anybody try to disagree with this.

[Schwarber Fan]

How is Wilson suddenly Joe Smith?

You can't. Its not possible. Did something happen to Avila last night that could be a minor day to day injury? Thats the only way i can make sense if it.

I think he may have had a ball hit his throwing hand on a foul tip but he stayed in the game obviously. You gotta PH.

[FlyTheW]

Happ and especially Bryant need to not kick their at-bats so it's not even a question

[UMFan83]

How did this dude close for a major league team in 2017? He has poor command and doesn't seem to have a strong out pitch

[Cubswin11]

Despite K'ing Votto, Justin Wilson still sucks and we have the right to hate him

[FlyTheW]

How did this dude close for a major league team in 2017? He has poor command and doesn't seem to have a strong out pitch

Because you've only seen him pitch for about 5 innings

Shhh

The eye test still shows his stuff is really mediocre

[TMan92]

Nice time to call that a strike

[Ding Dong Johnson]

so NOW he has a big zone

[Aaron_Kennelly]

I've been getting pissed at Joe more than usual lately. He either needs to stop drinking so much wine or start drinking more of it.

[David]

i was going to feel so horsefeathering bad for him if that got caught by the shift

[TMan92]

Sure happy that Happ batted in the 8th.

Same, I think some (maybe even most) of it is warranted
