6/27 Braves (Wilson) @ Cubs (Chatwood) 1:20 CDT NBCSN

[Andy]

Josh Tomlin has done so much for this franchise. I feel bad he's not been honored in some way

 

World Series game 2, starting a shutout with the wind blowing straight out at Wrigley Field with his dad in the stands will most likely go down as the highlight of his career, I'd say that's enough.

That's an excellent point.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Took the lead and cleared Almora's spot in the order. Great inning.

[TMan92]

Don't screw this up Chatwood.

 

Or Cishek.

[Sammy Sofa]

If Cishek gets Albies out here they are winning this damn game.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Daniel DeScalso is like Aaron Miles on Depakote.

[dfnowak]

Albies again??? Are you kidding me?

[BigSlick]

ahahahahahahhahahahahahahaah

 

come the horsefeathers on man. this isn't even surprising. stop sticking to the script

[TMan92]

Stop pitching to him.

[Andy]

This Albies stuff is a legitimate phenomenon at this point.

[profisme]

Jesus Christ. Stop pitching to Ozzie Albies.

[Brian]

unreal

[Schwarber Fan]

Holy horsefeathers, this Albies guy.

[Brian]

Albies is for sure homering off Kimbrel

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Those Albies v Cubs stats aren't too shabby.

[OleMissCub]

“Hi, I’m Doug Granville. Nice to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you, Doug. What do you do?”

“I get paid to say about 15 sentences over a 3 hour period. It’s a pretty sweet gig.”

[Sammy Sofa]

If Cishek gets Albies out here they are winning this damn game.

 

What I meant by "out" was "out of the ballpark." Cubs still win.

[BigSlick]

I feel like this game is setting up nicely for a backbreaking home run given up at the top of the 9th and then a really miserable extra innings game

[Brian]

seriously what did a former Chicago Cub or perhaps just an actual bear cub do to Ozzie Albies as a child? Could Ozzie Albies be the NorthsideBaseball poster that hates Ryne Sandberg with a fiery passion (IT'S NICE TO BE IMPORTANT, BUT IT'S MORE IMPORTANT TO BE NICE) ?????

[Sammy Sofa]

My brain can't even process that Descalso has hit 2 dongs this year. Were they Make a Wish things or something?

2 things about that game (game 3):

 

1. How the horsefeathers was only 1 scored in that game with the wind blowing straight out and a guy that was known for giving up dongs at a high rate that season and a guy that maxes out at 88 (obviously way underselling Hendricks here) starting?

 

2. Javy came up with runners on 2nd and 3rd down by 1 run with 2 outs in the 9th inning of a World Series game and all I keep thinking about is that Javy is the coolest dude in baseball and how much cooler he inexplicably could have gotten with a base hit there.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Descalso is going on a tear.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Of course Russell has that terrible song as his walk up music.

The latest big Theo FA signing doing what big Theo FA signings do...sounds about right

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Let's play F the Kimbrel

[Brian]

Better at least get that Albies run back
