7/31 Cubs (Lester) @ Pirates (Taillon) 6:05 NBCSCH

[Schwarber Fan]

Get someone on base in front of Javy.

 

Too bad he’s leading off.

[TMan92]

Get someone on base in front of Javy.

 

Or bat him after Zobrist

[Brian]

ugh

[TMan92]

Why do I watch such a stupid sport?

[Cubswin11]

Not PH’ing Schwarber for Almora here is so dumb

[Brian]

Almora has seen 4 pitches maybe 5 all night

[Bryants Disco Ball]

God, I need Willy's dong so bad right now.

[TMan92]

Stupid two out gapper would be nice

[Cubswin11]

Happ has had a really nice night

[Schwarber Fan]

There’s no way we don’t lose on a stupid fake rally in the 9th, so at least there’s that.

[Andy]

Seeds hit everywhere in the park for outs. Today is dumb.

Interesting. I would more guess Felipe whatever his last name is now is going to need about eight pitches.

[TMan92]

Please have Bote lead off vs post home run derby Schwarber to lead off. Schwarber can hit for Russell if Bote gets on.

[Brian]

I can't imagine any other team gets more ground outs up the middle of the field than the Cubs

[Schwarber Fan]

Happ has had a really nice night

 

The relief of not having to worry about being traded. Until further notice, the everyday lineup should consist of Rizzo, Zobrist, Baez, Schwarber/Almora platoon, Happ, Contreras, Heyward, Bote (not necessarily in that order)

[Cubswin11]

Good thing we saved Schwarber to face Rivers/Vasquez in the 9th instead of PH’ing him that inning

[Schwarber Fan]

Well now that’s the game.

[TMan92]

L. O. L.

[Andy]

Next time just tell him you're going to put that pitch there, Wilson, he couldn't have hit it harder if you did.

[imb]

dang i cant believe putting justin wilson in the game backfired.

needed some of that kintzler soft contact

[TMan92]

Joe giving up one run games has been cool.

[UMFan83]

I haven’t watched the game but it seems like another relatively rough offensive game. After an extended strong stretch it seems like we are starting to struggle again for the last week or so Edited August 1, 2018 by UMFan83

[TMan92]

Jake one run through 6 vs best offense in baseball.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

I'm going to be very upset the next time I see Almora in the lineup against a good RHP.
