pound this fool

[CaliforniaRaisin]

That strikeout call on Schwarber was just horrible. Stupid umpires and their pointless arm band protest.

[Regular Show]

I want an automated strike zone SO bad... Human umpires are terrible. I think they know their limitations, but don't want to admit they're shitty at their jobs because well, it's a high paying gig.

[David]

So this game just has bad vibes and blah to it. In this situation as a fan do you still feel like we got this or are you a ninny like me and start to mentally accept that we aren't winning today?

 

I assume I'm one of the few ninnies.

 

you can add me to the ninny who is mentally accepting that we aren't winning today group

 

 

time to go back to rewatching the wire

[Bull]

I'm at the game. Didn't look good for Jake. Any updates?

[Regular Show]

I don't see an official update anywhere on Jake. They're just saying right leg injury -- either cramping or hamstring acting up. Hopefully, it's nothing too serious. The Cubs can't afford to lose Jake right now.

It seems like Kirkjians only role in the booth is to complain and make things issues that aren't really issues

[UMFan83]

Someone posted a tweet that the trainers were working on his right hammy

[TMan92]

So I guess if we make the playoffs, we will be seeing horse teeth in the rotation.

[UMFan83]

Not bad Almora, he only threw 4 balls in that AB

[UMFan83]

Darn, best offensive rally in the game and it goes by the wayside (why the hell am I still watching?)

[Schwarber Fan]

Rough 24 hours of baseball.

[Bull]

Don't give up on me guys.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Which one of you was already prepared for Maples being put in high leverage situations?

[TMan92]

Jesus. Maples is getting torched.

[Derwood]

Run differential game

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Which one of you was already prepared for Maples being put in high leverage situations?

 

I was. He's going to have outings like this and when you're up in the division, you can put him to the fire and see if he can get past his bouts of wildness.

[UMFan83]

Damn RD was at 99, now down to 89

[Bull]

Even Joe gave up on me.

[UMFan83]

Certainly an interesting way for a position player to make their Cubs debut

[Derwood]

Ah, THIS is why we traded for Martin

[UMFan83]

Make that +85

[UMFan83]

This guy is not a true Cub. Our position player pitchers do not give up runs.

[TMan92]

Hopefully the pirates have issues scoring runs after they pile on.

[Cubswin11]

Idk if I've ever seen a guy throw 90 MPH so easy
