8/26 Cubs (Hendricks) vs Reds (Bailey): 1:20 PM on WGN

[Banedon]

Hello, Offense.

 

[Tim]

Can we have someone grab a bat and stand in the bullpen while Kyle finishes his warmups? Make him think that is the first inning?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

they’re playing another one yesterday? wow

Brandon’s been having a few Tim wine nights recently.

In the playoffs I think want Hamels, Hendricks, and then a bullpen game w/ Jesse Chavez as the opener. That's my playoff rotation. Yes, I want Lester and Q being used as relievers. I'm totally serious.

murphy still needs to speak more on this. his half-assed "oh, dear" comment left a bad taste in my mouth.

 

the cubs organization as a whole needs to explain to their LGBTQ fanbase as to why having him on the team is ok. for all of the talk in the cubs way regarding character, their trading for a domestic abuser (chapman), the dark clouds hanging over addision russell (and at one point starlin castro) and now trading for a homophobe who said those "lifestyle" comments WHILE IN UNIFORM rings real horsefeathering hollow. freedom of speech doesn't make you immune from criticism.

I don't think there is much to gain from hearing Murphy speak. He's a dumb bigot who thinks he said nothing wrong and is hiding behind his "beliefs" to protect his bigotry.

Scoreless first inning for Hendricks!

How is this dude allowed to keep starting? Even on a team playing out the string, there has to be a young pitcher with upside in your org that you’d want to give these starts to instead of this washed up dude

The Reds are 1-16 this year when Bailey starts.

They are paying him $21 million this season and even more next season. No reason to not run him out there, since he's going to be part of the rotation next season.

Perfect first inning... Maybe they actually did this?

If you take away all of Bailey's starts, the Reds are just under .500 on the year

He’s washed up, you can trot his ass out there in the spring but there’s no reason to assume he is part of the rotation next year

[NotSoSober]

Why would you challenge that? Make these fools pay

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Waste of a challenge

Kudos to the Reds if they have the payroll to not start him and just eat that money. And if they hope to somehow trade him and eat less money, then you are going to want to hope he somehow has a good start or two in the last month.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

We aren't exactly hitting this guy hard.........yet. Let's get one to the outfield.

[soccer10k]

Four balls hit in the infield and we get a run.

[David]

hahahahahaha what the hell

[Derwood]

Sniper shot on Billy

[UMFan83]

Haha thanks Billy
