5/27 giants (blach) at cubs (chatwood) 708 cdt espn

What a mess. I can't even with this team. horsefeathering maddening.

[UMFan83]

JHey is such a ducking disappointment.

 

horsefeathers it they would have won Game 7 without his motivational speech. There I said it.

[Andy]

These are the moments that define a game. Too often we have scored zero or one run. Finish them here.

 

Think I saw the Cubs are hitting .153 with RISP over the last 15 games. I’m pretty sure they started that stretch well last in baseball with BA with RISP so it’s probsbly embarrassingly awful now

Going on 4 years waiting for that to regress to the mean

[Cubswin11]

We suck again

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Wait, we're playing a day game tomorrow? horsefeathers off MLB. Couldn't even give us an evening start?

 

Oh, well. It will provide them and us another excuse to use. The wait till it gets warm one has been used up.

[Sammy Sofa]

Getting rid of a top 5 manager, that'll fix things!

 

Guy who pretends like he hates all things Cubs inexplicably thinks everything needs to be changed/dumped/whatever EXCEPT for the manager.

 

Your bit stinks.

Can guarantee you any manager they hire is a downgrade from Maddon. Start blaming the players and the people bringing in the players.

 

"Don't side with management" is a pretty good mantra in most walks of life, but it's especially prudent when you're some kind of dolt who, again, thinks everything about a baseball team needs to be replaced EXCEPT the manager. That you try to pass off the idea of building a team around a manager, like that makes ANY horsefeathering sense just proves, yet again, that your dumb bit horsefeathering sucks.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

The Cubs' RD* still looks really good.

Managers matter very little in baseball anyways but Maddon is clearly top 5. He's not bringing in players like Heyward, Chatwood, Darvish, etc that can't perform.

Look, obviously I'm not making myself clear: YOUR BIT SUCKS.

Who brought in the players that went to 3 straight Nlcs and won a World Series?

Clearly top 5 by your imaginary metric.

[KatJ]

Got him!

 

I dunno about you all, but I was done with all that “Panda” talk in the first inning.

What managers are better? Just think about it, doubt you can name 4. It's because managers are pretty irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Great job, Addy, for being much less lazy this time.

 

Can't believe he was out at first.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

[NotSoSober]

Pablo Sandoval is somehow faster than Almora

[d_money]

Joe’s schtick is getting a little old and has run its course. Theo and Jed are ahead of the curve - Joe won’t be renewed.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Pitchers are 1-1 with 3 walks.

This part of the show is actually enjoyable. R-Mack somehow supports the Cubs while everyone else in a way doesn't. It's a good plot twist for a ratings sweep episode.

[Schwarber Fan]

When do you think the last time the pitcher position was walked three times in a game?

[KatJ]

Joe Girardi’s free...

 

Just not Baker. Never Baker again.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Pitchers are 1-1 with 3 walks.

 

When I read this, it was 2-2 on him. I was excited to see if it actually played out.

 

Sure enough.

Who cares? They're irrelevant. You literally just said that.

 

Hinch, Kapler, Melvin and Francona are all head and shoulders better.
