7/2 Cubs (Hendricks) @ Pirates (Musgrove) 6:05 NBCSC

[Ding Dong Johnson]

If anyone can save this season, it is Kyle Hendricks. Or the hit movie Norbit.

 

 

 

Pirates are dumb and can shove off.

"YOU shove off!"

 

[Schwarber Fan]

Inexcusable that Russell and Almora are playing again. Bote has to be in there for one of them.

[Cubswin11]

Win, somehow, idiots

Hey guys now worries, Rosario is back up

[Sammy Sofa]

Hey guys now worries, Rosario is back up

 

This is actually a fitting typo.

Autocorrect has gotten smart enough that when they detect 'Rosario' and 'no worries' in the same sentence, they assume it must be a typo of some sort.

[squally1313]

Remember when Randy Rosario was a terrible pitcher his entire minor league career, then drastically outperformed his peripherals for 22 whole innings in AAA last year (0.79/3.79/4.66), and then continued outperforming just long enough when he got called up to become a 'trusted' member of the bullpen, even though it was clear to anyone he remained terrible, and then he put up a 6.16 ERA and a 1.79 WHIP in the second half?

 

Anyways, after he was terrible for the Cubs earlier this year, he's put up a 2.25/4.47/4.60 in AAA. So this should go well.

Win turds

 

But alas 82 wins baby

A cooler team would win a full grown adult.

[CubinNY]

Cubs look dead in the first.

[TMan92]

OK. Over under on how many runs they get in the first...

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I can't expect the Cubs to win. All I ask is that they catch the fly balls that they are parked under. That they don't lose the baseball during an exchange of hands and boot it away and that if Willy overthrows the guy on a steal attempt that the other guy is backing up.

[TMan92]

Win turds

A cooler team would win a full grown adult.

 

The Pecota guys keeping quiet in the background as their ability to see the future is once more in play.

Those assholes still have a woefully flawed projection system. horsefeathers them.

[Cubswin11]

That was pretty much the same ball Descalso didn’t even get close to the other day in Cincy

[TMan92]

Same horsefeathers, different day.

[Cubswin11]

Hendricks velocity at least seems good and he’s giving up soft, or softish, contact. A little unlucky on the GBs

[Cubswin11]

Javy covering 2B on a steal with a RHB up is interesting

[TMan92]

His lack of control looks similar to the Dodger game that he last pitched in.

[Andy]

It's alright, I didn't really want to see us actually make contact tonight anyway

[TMan92]

There is a little poetic justice that the only guy that can hit on the team is Heyward.

[TMan92]

Wow.

[Andy]

So numb am I to Almora's slowness that I was actually surprised he was that close.

 

And Russell continues to horsefeathering troll us
