Who called the Schwarber dong?

 

Or rather, who DIDN’T call the Schwarber dong?

[Old Style]

Minimum 3 dongs from Schwarber tonight.

One down, two to go.

[LeonDurham]

Bunt.

[Jaxbro]

Love mega intense big man dugout high fives with f bombs flying left and right with Schwarbs

[LeonDurham]

I know the sabermetrics are against a bunt but come on. It’s a guaranteed hit here.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

[LeonDurham]

Hit a home run. Oh jay is up. Never mind.

The sabermetrics love bunting for a hit against the shift because, as you said, it's a guaranteed hit if it's halfway decent.

[Derwood]

This LeonDurham guy used to be someone else, right? I feel like this is an old banned poster

[soccer10k]

This is more hits already than the Cubs got in the first two games combined.

 

That's not actually true but it feels like it.

[gobigred]

hitting him hard now lets get more to show for it

[soccer10k]

Wait, Ethier is alive?

[gobigred]

yeah this is dumb...

[Schwarber Fan]

How many home runs did Ethier have between last season's NLCS homer and that one?

[Gilby]

We've had a lead in all 3 games that has lasted a combined 30 seconds.

 

Honest to goodness didn't know Ethier was still playing baseball for a living

[Hunter]

Why can't we have a lead for more than an inning

[TMan92]

Can we get a shut down innning?

[Schwarber Fan]

Through the first few half innings of this game, this couldn't be any more like the 2015 NLCS. To a creepy degree. Didn't Schwarber hit an oppo homer as part of a 1-1 game early in G3 2015?

[DurbanJer]

I WANT A LAFFER WIN, DAMMIT.

 

Like, how about an easy dominate ass kicking affair, ammirite?

[TMan92]

Probably. Then the homophobe now being played by the wildling from Game of Thrones homered.

[Schwarber Fan]

*Russell pops a ball up to the right side of the field*

 

Brian Anderson "out ahead of it."

[KatJ]

The shift seems so non-sporting to me. It can go out of vogue any day now, as far as I’m concerned.

We didn't give up any runs in the first inning and we actually had a lead in a game are two differences from the Mets series.
