Send Vic up there or something and save Schwarbs bat for later if needed, after a HR and vs a lefty. Also maybe just leave Kyle in.

maddon has used the quick hook lately a bunch and i'm...concerned that he's managing based on recency bias because its worked out for yu so well

 

he really does tend to manage like a child who gets engrossed with a new bauble every two seconds

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.

 

Almora’s single was one of the greatest piece of hitting I’ve ever seen, don’t you agree Jays scouts??

[Schwarber Fan]

I HATE this Cishek/Thames matchup. Joe overmanaging as usual.

[Cubswin11]

horsefeathers off Joe

[Old Style]

Welp, here we go.

[CubinNY]

If they lose this game b/c of Madden, I’m going to lose my horsefeathers

[Old Style]

Praise Jeebus

[Cubswin11]

Catch the ball like a normal person, especially an important one like that, please Almora.

Cmon Javy

[We Got The Whole 9]

Does Javy know that he doesn't throw a slider?

[Derwood]

Does Javy know that he doesn't throw a slider?

 

Does Javy know that you don't have to swing on a 3-2 count?

 

His 0.30 isoD says "no"

[Schwarber Fan]

So we are almost certainly going to see Strop again tonight.

He does a decent job of getting that 3-2 count. After that he can’t resist.

[Schwarber Fan]

Cardinals tie it... F

[Derwood]

Are we the only team in baseball without 1 or 2 dudes with long hair on our team?

Now that we DFAd Collins, probably

[Schwarber Fan]

Oh this will be fun the rest of the way now.

[Cubswin11]

Of course we shifted on that and got burned

[We Got The Whole 9]

Why does Joe have such an aversion to the IBB to the best batter with a base open?

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Cardinals tie it... F

 

Wieters homer off Will Harris who has an ERA in the 1’s.

[BigSlick]

I just hope the Cubs realize they are literally not allowed to lose this game

[UMFan83]

Great job guys, 3 minute inning. Now back to holding on for 20 minutes while the Brewers bat

[We Got The Whole 9]

Theo using a top 10 pick on a guy whose scouting report said he was a swing-happy no-discipline shmuck is honestly the most baffling move hes made as a Cub IMO.

[CubinNY]

Anyone think the Cubs will hold on?
