Is there a reason why Schwarber sits against righties now too? The last 2 times he's been out of the lineup, righties have started. Just defense reasons or have they lost faith in the bat again?

Thudbutt's been pretty rank for about a month now.

I was going to respond with "really? But he's been keeping his average just above that .200 line" but then I realized that means he's basically hitting .200

 

Oh well can we all pretend Schwarber heroically played in the WS and afterwards hurt his knee again and his career ended and this is his evil twin brother Lyle Schwarber?

 

Because I really like thinking of him as a mythical legend rather than a subpar ballplayer that got hot a few times

go check again. it’s worse

[Sammy Sofa]

He's probably just gonna be another Daryle Ward.

[Cubswin11]

That's a ridiculous shift to put on Bryant with his ability to hit it everywhere

[BigSlick]

Yeah that kind of shift on a righty seems nuts to me but heck whatever. And then Rizzo hits a line drive in the most dangerous area of a shift and squeezes it in.

 

Runs off an inning that started so unpromisingly would be cool

[Cubswin11]

That's right where Lackey's curveball last inning was called a ball

[Sammy Sofa]

GOOD JOB, GOD BOY.

[Agony and Ivy]

Swing the horsefeathering bat Zobrist jesus horsefeathering christ

[TMan92]

Hey Ben. Swing.

[UMFan83]

It's like he has no situational awareness.

[Gilby]

That AB by Zobrist was worse than any Javy has ever had where he chases like crazy. horsefeathers. He was straight up hoping to get walked.

[Cubswin11]

Score some runs you idiots

[Cubswin11]

We are gonna score eventually off Nelson but this is annoying. Should have at least 1 right now.

[Cubswin11]

Nice throw Montero

[Cubswin11]

So horsefeathering stupid

[TMan92]

God do I hate Wrigley on nights like this

[UMFan83]

So 3 of 5 innings have ended with a runner on 3rd. Two of the innings we've taken HR cuts into stiff wind and the third time the hitter was inexplicably trying to walk

[badger]

He's probably just gonna be another Daryle Ward.

I want schwarber to be god, and when you make posts like this I don't like you.

[UMFan83]

I know I'm sick of the quirk of the wind. It blows in 70% of the games and when the wind is blowing the hardest the opponent always seems to be able to sneak one out while our guys spend the entire game taking uppercut swings and flying out.

[TMan92]

Strike 4 roid boy. Sit the horsefeathers down

[Gilby]

Avila really doesn't do his pitchers many favors when they miss their spot by even the tiniest bit.

[Cubswin11]

Nice job Lackey, you big dumb animal. Now score some runs you bums
