8/3 Cobs (Hamels) vs Brewers (Gio) 1:20 NBCSCH

[We Got The Whole 9]

We're just chomping at the bit to swing at trash

Albert in over Schwarber

 

Makes sense. Kyle's only been slashing .286 .474 .714 1.188 over the last week. Can't have too much of a good thing!

 

But seriously, who gives a horsefeathers if it's a LHP starting? Yeah, Schwarber is only hitting .203 .296 .362 .659 against them this year. But Almora is even worse with an abysmal .202 .237 .281 .517. I'd rather chance Schwarber having a good day against a southpaw, and forcing the Brewers to potential have to make real bullpen decisions, as opposed to Almora, who can't horsefeathering hit ANYBODY.

That small advantage to schwarber on offense is probably balanced by better defense with this lineup. It’s a meh for me.

The Cubs do know they are at Wrigley right?

Dammit 1 pitch from getting out of it. Of course

What a garbage run. Infield chopper to start the inning and then a half swing off the end of the bat on 0-2.

Moustakas OPSing better vs lefties than righties.

Yeah, Phelps really didn’t look that bad. Dog horsefeathers BABIP luck. The 0-2 pitch should’ve been better but still got soft contact.

Joe has way too much faith in a wild Wick in a tie game

He’s quite likely the best RP

God damn it, Willy. Catch the horsefeathering ball.

[NotSoSober]

If that leads to a Brewers run I'm gonna be really horsefeathering pissed. Pathetic

[We Got The Whole 9]

Almora now has a higher OPS than Cain lol

[soccer10k]

Willy popped the hammy. See you in 4-6 weeks.

[cl smooth]

jonathan lucroy, your table is ready

[Old Style]

Pack your bags, Taylor Davis.

[UMFan83]

Of course. Contreras gets robbed yet again and pulls his hammy in the process and will probably be out for awhile

[Cubswin11]

horsefeathers

[NotSoSober]

horsefeathers, this season can't get any worse.

 

Thankfully Taylor Davis the spark that this offense needs

[Derwood]

Ge LuCroy's agent on the phone

He no doubt has good stuff but is wild. Fell behind Thames 3-1 before getting him and 3-1 on Arcia before giving up a hit on grooved FB taking some off. It worked out that time vs bottom of order, but that control is scary in tie game.

jonathan lucroy, your table is ready

[NotSoSober]

Alberto!

[We Got The Whole 9]

Wow that was a rope

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Obviously start Almora today!!
