We're still going to win.

 

Yup

[bcl412]

So wind blowing out or what?

So wind blowing out or what?

 

I was listening to the start of the suspended game and they said blowing in from right

[TMan92]

Well their pitcher sucks too.

[badger]

I always think of:

 

 

When i see the name Vargas.

[Sammy Sofa]

Kyle Schwarber is the baseball paradox of being annoyingly WAY too patient.

[Cubswin11]

Didn’t call that a strike earlier, horsefeathers

[BigSlick]

Almora can't even get contact with 80 mile per hour pitches, dude

[badger]

what's Almora the baseball paradox of?

[Cubswin11]

what's Almora the baseball paradox of?

A bad player who BABIP’d for 2 months

[UMFan83]

Well their pitcher sucks too.

 

He does...however our lineup is pretty iffy today

[Sammy Sofa]

Dammit, Bote. That first pitch was begging to be annihilated.

[Sammy Sofa]

what's Almora the baseball paradox of?

 

The manager's beer goggles.

[BigSlick]

Well that sucks

[Brian]

Cubs have really mastered the struck out looking thing

[Schwarber Fan]

Bote turning into Happ

[abuck1220]

that was a super gross at bat

[Sammy Sofa]

The horsefeathers was he looking for.

[Cubswin11]

That was ugly, Bote. Guy throws 80 MPH junk, don’t get why there’s guessing. It’s not like Thor where you have to guess between 98 fastball and 92 slider and change

[BigSlick]

I don't *really* care if they win or lose this game, they've had a good run and it's gonna end to somebody, but I *will* be pissed if they don't get some runs off this schmuck

Pretty much. Still think Mills can be a decent MLB pitcher, the stuff is decent and moves and a nice repertoire. He just doesn’t have much margin for error on the command, he needs to hit spots because it isn’t over powering stuff. Hopefully he settles in and gives us 5-6 innings and 6 or less runs. That should give us a chance.

[BigSlick]

*throws hands up in the air* i dont know what to do with these players

[Schwarber Fan]

I could see us not winning the World Series due to Almora or La Stella.

[Cubswin11]

Go back to Jersey, Tommy
