8/7 Cubs (Hamels) @ Reds (Wood) 6:10 CST NBCSCH

[TMan92]

Maybe we don’t want the guy that caught Hamels in Texas

[Schwarber Fan]

Hahahaha we are totally losing this game.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Man, what a horsefeathering waste of a good top half inning. Just going to leave him in there, I guess.

[UMFan83]

This is a situation where Cole clearly doesn’t have it and Joe was late to react hoping he could luck his way into finishing the inning

[Bryants Disco Ball]

OK. Just get through this inning down by one.

[TMan92]

Never seen Hamels rattled until today.

[TMan92]

Not good new guy

[BigSlick]

are yo seriously just gonna sit there and let cole hamels walk in the tying run

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Man, I'm so disappointed by this half inning. It just sucks.

[BigSlick]

joe maddon is just god damn useless man

[Schwarber Fan]

Absolute joke. We needed this game for confidence and just gave it away.

[We Got The Whole 9]

What a [expletive] joke. Hes awful tonight. Get him out of there.

[Edith Cox]

Hamels is going to have nightmares about this park. He got hurt here last time and now blew a 5-1 lead. Edited August 9, 2019 by Edith Cox

Lucroy using his veteran savvy to protect his pitcher

[TMan92]

Really Joe?

[UMFan83]

I’m sure facing Votto for the 3rd time in a game when you can’t throw your Breaking ball and have thrown 40 pitches this inning will work out well

Wow. Good find. That's even worse than this one because at least we blew it early.

[BigSlick]

can a pitcher take himself out of the game? if i was hamels i'd be taking myself out now

[Cubswin11]

[We Got The Whole 9]

Let a guy one week removed from the IL throw 50 pitches in an inning. Just wow.

[UMFan83]

Joe got lucky there. Unbelievable that he let Cole face Votto there

[Schwarber Fan]

Thanks, Votto.
