No sign of Brandon or Andy, so let's re-purpose my bastard thread from last night, in updated form.

Erroneous

Updated for tonight.

[Sammy Sofa]

Pretty average, at best.

[Sammy Sofa]

Me foolishly getting my hopes up for a baller first inning from Bryzzo:

 

[Sammy Sofa]

A dramatic recreation of the value of Darvish's contract:

Darvish somehow doesn't give up a run, and manages to not throw 30 pitches in the first inning.

Davis looks like he won a contest in a softball league to get to play on the Cubs for a day.

[Sammy Sofa]

I figured maybe I'd make it for most of this one since it's earlier, but I am WAY too sick to be watching a Darvish start. I think I'm gonna go hibernate for another 12 hours or so.

Gets the first two outs and now ends up throwing a bunch of extra pitches because he can't throw strikes to the horsefeathering pitcher.

Just tuning in, what the hell yu

Unmitigated disaster. Yu is horsefeathers.

[d_money]

KB with a hustle double. Nice to see.

[d_money]

A balk brings in the first run followed by an rbi double by Rizzo. Let’s add some more.

[Cubswin11]

The eternally broken and actually bad Kris Bryant now has a 114 wRC+

[soccer10k]

Holy crap Bote annihilated that one.

[d_money]

Bote with a 3 run jack. 5-0.

[We Got The Whole 9]

God damn Bote destroyed that

[Cubswin11]

I believe it’s against something in the Geneva Convention what Bote just did to that ball

[Derwood]

I'm sorry I ever doubted you, Bote

[CyHawk_Cub]

I'm glad Bote wasn't traded away for some shitty 5th/6th inning reliever.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Bote with an absolute BOMB

[We Got The Whole 9]

469 feet with an 83 feet apex and 113 off the bat
