[UMFan83]

Ball 1, ball 2, ball 3 - yer out!

[Schwarber Fan]

This ump has some clown shoes on tonight.

That's not how a Lackey start works. There is a reason the Cubs winning % when Lackey starts is the highest of any starter. The Cubs somehow score for this horsefeathers face

 

That or being our worst starter he often faces the other teams worst starter

 

How often do you think that happens?

 

 

5-6 times. Another 5-6 times facing their 2nd to worst starter.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

not 100% sure Martinez actually controlled that throw

I have to think the math typically breaks out that every pitcher in a rotation faces roughly the equal amount of the other teams 1-5 pitchers throughout the year if they make ~30 starts.

I don't think "math" applies to anything about John Lackey

this game so far

[UMFan83]

Wacha is pitching well but holy hell is he getting a huge strike zone

[Cubswin11]

Back to back days of hard contact from Heyward is good to see

[Schwarber Fan]

Guess Wacha's just untouchable tonight. Good thing we have horrible Jon Jay to keep us from being no-hit. Edited September 28, 2017 by Schwarber Fan

Trick them in to extending Wacha for 6/180 this offseason, I like it. #DualFronts

[NotSoSober]

Is something up with Avila that I haven't heard about?

[Andy]

Every time I look up I see another pitch out of the zone called a strike

[NotSoSober]

it's because the cubs are constantly whining, especially john lackey - jim edmonds

[Jaxbro]

50 pitches thru 5. Jeebus. Remind this asshat his numbers against the Cubs this year.

Wacha is horsefeathering on tonight.

This doesn't feel like a game we'll score. As much as I want to clinch with a win I'm pulling the Reds just to end this so there's no chance of shenanigans.

This is how I feel too.

[Hunter]

Stop being such ninnies. We have 3 games versus the Reds left lol.

The only thing I'm worried about in this series is tearing up the visitors clubhouse. It would be shitty if we came here with that big talk and somehow didn't clinch.

 

Anyways that's loser talk we're clinching today

[Cubswin11]

Score some runs, idiots

 

 

 

Also nice job ya slack jawed yokel

[Brian]

how about get a person or two on base this inning?

[bcl412]

I don't actually think we'll come close to blowing the lead. I just want to get it done ASAP

Yeah I want to give the starters 2 days off and then have them play Saturday and Sunday
