Jon Jay has a .410 OBP against lefties this year in 101 PA while Zobrist has hit like Kyle Hendricks against them

Lefties have a ~500 OPS vs Gio this year, though for his career he's nearly splits neutral. I'm fine with the move. I think Zobrist will take a walk or 2 today against him.

it's like opening a baseball opinions time capsule

80's and humid in DC today with wind gusts of 15 MPH, I would imagine the ball will be carrying pretty well today

I can't tell if he's trying to be funny, or he's that shook.

Since coming off the DL in August, Werth has a .225 wOBA, .279 against LHP. The last 3 years he's combined for about a -10 UZR as an outfielder, this year being the worst yet. Dusty has Adam Lind(similar glove but .370 wOBA against RHP), Brian Goodwin(.320 wOBA against RHP and better defense) and Howie Kendrick(.346 wOBA v. LHP and better defense) on his bench. Werth played all 9 yesterday and is starting today.

I've been quietly optimistic all season long. Now that we're here I am amped beyond belief. Last year was not enough. Destroy everything in your path Cubs. This is our time.

 

GO CUBS GO!!

[Jaxbro]

Win turds.

 

But alas Dusty is a managerial genius and Lester’s arm is completely broken

[ConstableRabbit]

We’re going to burn Gio’s career into the ground tonight with a dong barrage.

This shitbag is soooo shook

[UMFan83]

I want to see dongs early and often

[Cubswin11]

50% of Dusty’s mind is owned by thinking about how to pitch his pitchers 120+ pitches, 5% is a fishing analogy, the rest is occupied and owned by the Cubs

[Cubswin11]

I’d bet a lot of money Dusty has Turner try to bunt to start the game for them today. He’d think that would be so clever. Edited October 7, 2017 by Cubswin11

Speed doesn't slump, dude. Whatever it takes to get that spark.

[UMFan83]

Honestly since Dusty left the Cubs I haven't been overly focused on him and my critique of him as a manager started to reduce itself to something about overworking pitchers, making poorly constructed lineups and fishing analogies. I completely forgot a lot of the little things that he does that kill a team such as riding a poorly performing veteran over better players (ok so kinda doing that with Zobrist) or failing to take accountability or just overall spewing a ton of dated misinformed baseball logic

I'm setting the over/under at 3.5 Cubs dongs tonight.

I have a fluffer set up for 5:45 EST so we should be all set today

Dusty really doesn't deserve Trea Turner. He's like the one guy that is actually good at being a Dusty Player: leading off despite low walk total because he can BABIP his way to a good average. And actually efficient while running all the time.

agreed. i've been singing his praises since his NCSU days.

I'm watching the replay of yesterday's game on MLB Network and Ernie Johnson just said "Jay's got great speed" lmfao

This 2017 run is already rockin' and rollin'. We have sex and fluffers! Bring on the dongs and fly those Ws!!

i really like ernie as a person and he has really good elements to his delivery etc. but, he's just so clearly out of his element doing baseball. i feel like it would be like me (if i was more talented) suddenly cramming and doing an NHL game with like a week or so research.
