8/25 Cubs (Quintana) vs Reds (Castillo): 1:20 PM on ABC7

[Tim]

Can’t wait for Amir vs. Baez

Neither could Javy.

[The_Achiever]

Keep pouring it on.

[Old Style]

Winning is fun.

[ScrubMD]

Just keep that 3 game cushion until the Cardinals remember they aren’t very good.

[Schwarber Fan]

Man, Schwarber really does get screwed on the strike zone more than anyone.

[Schwarber Fan]

As bad as Quintana was today, it’s hilarous to hear Brennamen ripping him when the Reds have like 1 good pitcher.

What did the dumb hick say?

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Theo horsefeathering killed it with the mid-season moves. From now on, just tell him we have no money or prospects so every move has to be a desperation move. He works best when he has to dig deep.

What did the dumb hick say?

 

He was just going on about how he’s been a huge disappointment as a Cub and then as Maddon pulls him he goes “man the Cubs are paying some of these guys a lot of money.”

 

Nothing necessarily untrue but in the context of the game it just comes off kind of silly to me.

I was thinking about this the other day. Without any research -- which is never good -- it feels like he does awesome trading over signing free agents. There are exceptions on both (Lester was a great signing and Q hasn't been a great trade), but it seems like he excels that way.

[Schwarber Fan]

Let La Stella wear players weekend jerseys all season.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

It’s a shame Tommy is going to be playing in AAA next year, because I’d be willing to start a gofundme to get him to put “Seal Boy” on his jersey for Player’s Weekend.

[CubInOK]

Let La Stella wear players weekend jerseys all season.

Only if he puts "Seal Boy" on the back of it.

[David]

did javy just go 0-2 to 4-2?

[Schwarber Fan]

Baez is so locked in again.

[Brian]

how is bringing lefties in for Rizzo working out

[TMan92]

Heyward is back to all the ground outs to the right side again.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

With so many games in a row, and with Zobrist having played every day for the past several games to help get the offense started, I wouldn't mind them taking him out right now to give him a break and hope five runs is enough.

Heyward is back to all the ground outs to the right side again.

 

I would like to see him continued to be lowered in the order until he's ninth.

old man Zo flashing leather

[Schwarber Fan]

Funny to think Zobrist is 4 years older than Murphy.

Of all the directions he could have gone with Quintana, he said we're paying him a lot? He's making about 1/3 as much as Homer Bailey.

[Brian]

give me Javy with the bases loaded against a lefty

[Brian]

hahahhahahaha, here we go
