9/8/18 CLUBES (Garcia) @ Nationals (Scherzer) 2:05 CST NBC Sports Chicago

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I know it’s Scherzer but come on 1 base runner through 5 innings?

 

I turned it off after the third inning because the players sort of looked bored. It might have been me projecting, though.

[UMFan83]

God Murphy sucks. Even though he completed the double play he could not have turned it any slower

[chopsx9]

What's the point of changing the pitcher if you are going to bring in Kindling? There's got be a better chance Garcia rights the ship than he does anything worthwhile.

 

To be fair, it wasn't exactly a 100 mile per hour exit velocity hit that Kinsler allowed.

 

Yeah he wasn't horrible today I'll retract my statement...for now. :hello:

[chibears55]

Dang

I thought Lastella ball was going into CF..

GO FOR THE TRIFECTA, ADDISON.

Like last year when they instituted the signal for the automatic intentional walk maybe next year they can institute the "Addie" where a player walks to the plate puts their right hand to their forehead in the shape of an "L" and then does a u-turn and heads back to the bench. Pace of play and all that.

[Sammy Sofa]

Crazy thing is here, yes it been Garcia Kintzler, and DeLaRosa but theyve only given up 3 runs through 4..

If these bats who are basically regulars, could muster up a few hits and runs, theyd actually have a chance to win this game..

 

Exactly; on paper, this lineup should be one that's mostly in good shape to be competitive, yet because so many guys who are playing like turds or are hurt are racking up, it's essentially a forfeit lineup, which is insane.

He already did that with impregnating women.

Good lord how embarrassing

[UMFan83]

Randy Rosario doesn’t give up runs that often but when he does he completely blows up.

 

Has allowed runs in 3 of last 14 appearances but in those 3 games he allowed 4,3 and 3 ER

[UMFan83]

Good lord how embarrassing

 

Meh Joe pretty much punted this game before it started

Next two games they start guys with ERAs of 5.58 and 6. Win those two and we’re all good.

Scherzer human

They scored a run

[Sammy Sofa]

Seriously, did their plan to fix Chatwood involve hitting him in the arm with a bat or something?

[TMan92]

I love that this game also has to remind us how garbage Chatwood is.

[UMFan83]

Now that Chatwood only comes in for blowouts he is officially fun bad

 

He has an ERA of 9.36 since being demoted to the pen

It's so shocking we're losing this game. I really can't believe it.

[UMFan83]

So funny watching these teams out of contention overextending their aces against us.

Anyone notice Gore got the first hit of his major league career?

Off Scherzer too. Pretty impressive for a first hit. It was on his 13th career AB but had 15 career runs.
