9/28 - Irrelevant NLC team v. NL Central Champs 6:15 WGN

[bcl412]

When we knock them out of the postseason all together there should be another champagne celebration

 

On the mound...with W flags

[Ding Dong Johnson]

hey, I finally got to see Maples throw a pitch!

[Brian]

yay, was able to flip over in time to see Maples against 2 batters.

 

BB and then 3K is pretty good for having sat around for a couple of weeks.

[Agony and Ivy]

horsefeathers it. Maples on the postseason roster.

[Cubswin11]

I hope we get to see Maples in at least 2 of the next 4 games. Still think he can be a huge part of the 2018 pen

Well, well, well

Schwarber used to have such a good eye and he still does on occasion but I see him swinging at some real garbage these days

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Beat these turds.

[Cubswin11]

His bad judgement though is when he’s already put himself in good counts. He’s not like Javy where it’s just hacks, like he’s working himself to 2-2, 3-2 counts. Then he hacks, which is a coin flip at that point

[Brian]

Justin Wilson never change... oh wait, yes please change pretty much everything you've become since joining the team.

[Sammy Sofa]

Justin Wilson's fat-faced MLB pic has him looking like Robert Z'Dar.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Schwarber's 30-game rolling O-Swing% is pretty much the lowest it's been in his career right now:

Sometimes my eyes are as bad as Tommy Phams watching games

Don't you have some high school football game to jinx?

[Brian]

Suddenly Maples' 1BB 3K inning feels less impressive

There ya go.

I think your point was correct. But I think his problems are more due to the 2 strike part of it. I feel like he fouls off a ton of pitches with 2 strikes and can't put the ball in play. So he just keeps taking hacks until he can no longer foul them off and he strikes out.

That could be [expletive], too. But it definitely feels like there is something in him that makes him flip a switch for some reason with regards to his plate discipline.

[davell]

I can see Maples turning into a Marmol type reliever for a few years.

[UMFan83]

And now I will not flip over to the game unless

I know the Cubs are batting because I have no desire to see a walkoff when there is no meaning to this game for the Cubs

[Brian]

Joe should just sub in all the starters

[Sammy Sofa]

horsefeathers you, blue; Pham should have struck out twice already this AB.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Leonys Martin for the save after we take the lead?

[Brian]

lol the c team is going to win this game

[Aaron_Kennelly]

The Mad Men battery coming through again!

[ScrubMD]

lol the Cardinals just had their season ended by Taylor Davis.
