7/15 Cubs (Hendricks) vs Reds (Castillo) 7:05 NBC Chicago

[Schwarber Fan]

Thank you, ump. No chance Russell doesn’t K or GIDP with the bases loaded.

[Derwood]

Fun Fact from the Reds Broadcast:

 

Castillo leads the majors in lead-off walks (16) and is dead last in the MLB in first pitch strike % (52.2%)

[Schwarber Fan]

Rare good base running from Rizz!

[TMan92]

From the Brewer board.....

Freaking Cubs just put 2 on Castillo and lead 3-1 now. Here we go again with that team having a horse shoe up their asses.

 

Hmmmmmmm......

[TMan92]

Two fricking basket shots. Joke.

Two fricking basket shots. Joke.

 

 

I kinda hate those baskets, even though they benefit the Cubs as well

[Schwarber Fan]

That Puig homer was the bitchiest homer in the history of Wrigley

[TMan92]

That Puig homer was the bitchiest homer in the history of Wrigley

 

Yep. We need to keep scoring.

The oppo shot Harper hit a few years ago where he slammed his bat on the ground and it ended up going out is up there.

[Schwarber Fan]

Caratini has no chance against Castillo

[Derwood]

Caratini has no chance against Castillo

 

Yeah, seriously

[TMan92]

Wow that was a terrible at bat by Bote

[UMFan83]

Yep, Bote was definitely developed by the Cubs org

[BigSlick]

Awww Bote no

[HawkeTrackler]

You just can’t have ABs like that with the bases loaded. Painful to watch.

[TMan92]

I wouldn’t swing on 3-2 here

[Schwarber Fan]

Please don’t let that be a look-back moment. Bote’s been brutal lately.

[Derwood]

Bote could have swung twice at some of those pitches.

 

Pretty good AB by Garcia considering the situation and the pitcher.

[bcl412]

Did he stare someone down after that?

[TMan92]

This one is going to be a sphincter tightener

[javy knows my name]

Wow I feel absolutely terrible about the outcome of this game

[Andy]

Those were 2 terrific changeups by Castillo to get Garcia. Bote screwed up that inning.

He’s a typical Red. The Brennemans love to complain about every other team while having guys like Castillo, Puig, and Amir Garrett on their team.

 

aaaaand one pitch. Nice.

Bote is the type of player to be effective but sometimes look absolutely overmatched several times a game where he has almost zero chance in the at bat. Like Baez before 2017
