7/26: Cubs (Hendricks) @ VB's (Gio) 7:10 NBCSCH

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Gio’s Last 3 outings have all been 5 innings or less while allowing 3 runs or more. So no hits through 4 sounds about right.

[Tryptamine]

Don't worry boys, Sogard will fix things.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Looking at our offense and pitch values is sad. We can hit fastballs and somehow have a decent record against change ups and that is it. Most of that damage against changes was probably done against shitty pitchers as well because I feel like most of our guys are hopeless against them.

Is this something unique to us or something that every fan thinks is a problem for their team but really every team mostly only has good numbers vs FB and average to bad numbers vs off speed?

[Cubswin11]

Gross

[Schwarber Fan]

Great example of what makes Zaidman so tough to listen to... talking about the acquisition of Holland:

 

“you can never have enough lefty arms in your bullpen.”

 

Yeah, ok. Well, we had one, so...

No. Not at all. Not hard to find the answer to that question.

[Andy]

This horsefeathering umpire. Unbelievable

[itisallpartoftheplan]

3 outs away from Gio’s longest outing of the season.

 

Almora

Bote

Hendricks

 

I think he’ll make it.

[Andy]

Luckily Hendricks is so good tonight he hasn't been bitten by needing to throw 4 strikes per hitter

[Derwood]

This ump is just flipping a coin back there

[Schwarber Fan]

Can’t wait for this bloop single.

[BigSlick]

i know there's a terrible ump back there but am i allowed to be mad/disappointed that we're coming up on one of the most important series of the season and they've got zero hits through 5

[UMFan83]

Jeez

 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Thank you David. Need that more often from you.

[Schwarber Fan]

BIG swing of the bat. Nice job, Bote.

No need to thank me

[Cubswin11]

Always loved Bote and never doubted him, give him an extension.

[BigSlick]

alright bote i take back everything mean i said

[Cubswin11]

My uncle has season tickets for the Brewers behind home plate, about 16 rows up and on the aisle. The row over is where scouts sit, last year Theo and McCleod were like 3 seats from me for a game. But anyways my dad has the tickets tonight and he says there’s Blue Jays scouts by him, fwiw. Get Ken Giles.

[Tryptamine]

I'd rather have one more inning of Hendricks then 1 AB of Schwarber with no one on.

[CubinNY]

WTF is Maddon doing here?

[We Got The Whole 9]

Wtf kind of move is that Maddon

[Schwarber Fan]

Maddon continues to inexplicably pull Hendricks at 90 pitches or less.

[CubinNY]

Hendricks is pissed.
