8/31 Cubs (Quintana) @ Phillies (Pizzetta) - 6:05, NBCSC+

[Sammy Sofa]

Is Schwarber dead?

[TMan92]

I assume schwarber is sick or something

 

Sick Kyle better than healthy Victor

[CyHawk_Cub]

Maddon w/ the good vintage in the dugout tonight

[abuck1220]

GREAT at bat vic

[Cubswin11]

horsefeathers yourself Joe

[UMFan83]

That is shameful Vic. Teamwide disease with RISP

[TMan92]

We should had a starting pitcher bat. Idiots.

[Sammy Sofa]

19 LOB.

 

Joe is infuriating.

[NotSoSober]

What an stupid stupid move by drinky Joe

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Maples is ready in the pen if we need him since we chose to go short a bench player.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Awesome another terrible at bat with the bases loaded.

[Sammy Sofa]

We should had a starting pitcher bat. Idiots.

 

I would have 1000000000000000000000% preferred to see Lester wailing away in that spot instead of Caratini.

 

These dorks should be up, like, 4-1 right now.

[TMan92]

19 LOB.

 

Joe is infuriating.

 

I think the young guys actually playing the game are more to blame.

[abuck1220]

um all of caratini’s at bats are terrible, the risp part is irrelevant

[abuck1220]

de la rosa? I thought Wednesday’s game against the Mets was the “don’t try to win” game for the week.

[Sammy Sofa]

19 LOB.

 

Joe is infuriating.

 

I think the young guys actually playing the game are more to blame.

 

I'm to the point where I think his lineup construction has actually too often been significantly detrimental this season, even accounting for guys underperforming or being injured.

[abuck1220]

19 LOB.

 

That can’t be right

[TMan92]

We are getting a Bote ride next inning.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

lolllll Bautista is furious

[TMan92]

19 LOB.

 

Joe is infuriating.

We had bases loaded with one out with our best hitters.

[OleMissCub]

Nice inning from Jorge. Hitters looked way off balance.

[raw]

Of course, now he plays Bote everyday when he's not hitting anything.

[Sammy Sofa]

Yeah, it's time for Bote to get a Bryant break.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Bote would’ve been better suited to stare at some 3-2 pitches tonight. Edited September 1, 2018 by itisallpartoftheplan

that bote/donaldson swing comp mlbn just did was pretty compelling
