5/22 Phillies (Irvin) @ Cubs (Hamels) 7:05 NBCSN/MLBN

[Schwarber Fan]

Last few Hamels starts have been tough to watch.

[UMFan83]

Whose ready for 5 innings from the pen tonight

Weis is!

[Schwarber Fan]

Phew

[BigSlick]

99 pitches through 4 IP. Woof. Better score a bunch more runs (in addition to the 1 more you’d presumably need to take the lead)

[weis21]

Phew

They can give up 4 because cubs will score at least 8 tonight.

The worst part about this is even if we score some runs, our garbage bullpen is going to give up a bunch more.

Please always stay on brand.

 

I need consistency in my life.

 

He’s been doing this for a decade. You have nothing to worry about.

[BigSlick]

Why do you let Hamels bat if he’s taken out anyway

I know. And I have a tiny bit of “schwarber fan” inside me but i always try to stay optimistic and so I’m baited into replying.

 

Rinse. Repeat. Everything about NSBB is consistent for the most part.

[Schwarber Fan]

Nice job, Chatwood. I’m happy for the guy, love seeing him have success.

[TMan92]

Chatwood can be filthy. Keep it up Tyler.

[weis21]

chatwood looks good

[Derwood]

Every ringing base hit by Bryant makes Kyle's doom boner deflate a little bit

[UMFan83]

Suck it ground balls

[Schwarber Fan]

Ok, it’s time to admit how good Almora has been I guess.

[wilmot_mike]

LOL!

[weis21]

Phew

There’s 7. Not yet in the 6th inning.

[BigSlick]

Hrm. Do I have to like Almora now?

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Thoughts?

[Old Style]

This Almora kid may not completely suck after all.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Slowy McSlowerton has been raking the past couple weeks. I is confused.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Why do you let Hamels bat if he’s taken out anyway

 

I think because there were two outs and the game is still pretty early, and you probably don't want to burn a bench bat in a situation where the percentages say you won't end up scoring a run.

[Derwood]

[NotSoSober]

Ride the Almora wave while it lasts

[soccer10k]

Well I won’t be criticizing Almora for at least a week after that one.
