4/27: Cubs (Darvish) vs Brewers (Suter) 1:20 CT, NBC Sports Chicago/MLBN

PH Schwarber here?

[Sammy Sofa]

I haven't watched every inning this year, but I've seen Heyward make some damn good plays. Why is everyone acting like he's Adam Dunn in RF all of a sudden?

 

Because his overall offensive and defensive performances stink this year.

[Cubswin11]

Slow ass Almora vs a righty here scares me

He's made some fine plays...but i believe defensive ratings still have him as below replacement level this year (which of course is attributable to SSS partially). He's also made some notable gaffes that while don't mean he's a bad fielder or anything, tend to stick in people's minds.

[Cubswin11]

Why didn’t Schwarber hit there? What the hell

[UMFan83]

Fangraphs wrote an article about scoring runners from 3rd with less than 2 outs and the Cubs were the team they pointed out as noteworthingly bad.

[Cubswin11]

Lol Sogard

[Sammy Sofa]

Almora truly is the new old Baez.

[Agony and Ivy]

Weird that playing Sogard at SS is a bad decision.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

YES!

[CyHawk_Cub]

Nice. There's the comeuppance for Sogard at SS

[Sammy Sofa]

While nu-Baez says horsefeathers YOU, I CAN DO ANYTHING.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Sogard giveth and he giveth some more

[soccer10k]

Get Russell around, mostly because they need to score to win but also because the Brewers deserve to be punished for trying to get away with Sogard at SS

 

Haha.

[Liam Neeson]

[TMan92]

That is karma for that horsefeathers inning by the ump.

[Thusly Boned]

Get Russell around, mostly because they need to score to win but also because the Brewers deserve to be punished for trying to get away with Sogard at SS

 

You definitely got your wish there

[Sammy Sofa]

If Rizzo actually dongs here I'll eat Duke's hat.

[NotSoSober]

You can always count on the Brewers defense to wet the bed

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Genius managing to put the .085/.115/.150-batting Eric Sogard at short.

[Cubswin11]

Cishek threw 3 pitches better that were called balls than strike 1 to Rizzo

[Transmogrified Tiger]

You can always count on the Brewers defense to wet the bed

 

something something there’s always errors in the brewer stand something something

[Cubswin11]

Jesus Christ that’s some awful luck. Had a walk on 3-0 and then that

[soccer10k]

Stupid Pat made me think that was a guaranteed hit.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Rizzo should try to hit line drives away from people.
