5/21 Phillies (Eflin) @ Cubs (Q) 6:00 ESPN

[Derwood]

The Phillies won the series opener, thanks to a bunch of seeing eye hits at the perfect times

 

 

Meanwhile, the Cubs got a million men on base, but couldn't come through in the clutch

 

 

But the Cubs CAN score runs, so

 

 

and it's a 4 game series, so

 

 

 

Joe wants to put Javy back into the lineup ASAP, but

 

 

Javy's reply

 

 

So let's stop talking about check swings

 

 

and move on

yep, but you don't get Jennifer Love Hewitt gifs until the Cubs win 3 in a row

Dear lord, I just looked up Descalso's last month (76 PA). A robust .186 wOBA and a wRC+ of 10.

[Andy]

Javy out again tonight. The streak of not having our full roster available to us continues.

[squally1313]

Two days in a row going with Descalso over Bote. I get the bloop triple last night, but don't see how this makes sense long term.

[The_Achiever]

I like Schwarber in the leadoff spot.

Bote has been garbage for a while now, might be worth it to give him a breather for a few days and maybe work on some things with the coaches/video guys to get right. He also still is dealing with the broken toe, maybe they want him to get off the foot for a few days.

Also: they're both probably butt.

[Brian]

Sees lineup with no Javy

 

[Schwarber Fan]

I’m still mad about last night’s game.

Me being forced to decide which garbage player should be put in the game

Eflin and Jake both have big L/R splits. He’s just trying to get as many lefties in as he can.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I can't let it slide. The Cubs are not @ Phillies.

[Guancous]

I’m in Tampa to hear some sales spiels. Ducked out a little early to go watch Kershaw against the Rays. Tickets in the home plate section cost less than $60.

 

Also trying to get some June Cubs tickets. Pretty much $100 to walk in the door.

Man, that place sucks so much.

No idea what you’re talking about :-"

Derwood gonna derwood

[Derwood]

Derwood gonna copy/paste an earlier game thread and forget to fix it

[NotSoSober]

Kris Bryant is back unlike Heyward

[Sammy Sofa]

If Descalso actually does something more useful than swallowing a seagull right here, I'll become his biggest fan.

He is absolute garbage.

[Sammy Sofa]

Oh, shocker; Descalso strikes out on 3 pitches to a guy who just horsefeathering walked ALMORA.

[NotSoSober]

I'm probably incorrect but it seems like we've gone hitless the last 20 times with the bases loaded
