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

[Derwood]

Reds defense is road-Cubs-like

[Schwarber Fan]

Wow. Maybe our road luck is turning after all.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

That's the type of play a team out of contention attempts to make.

[Edith Cox]

First time the offense reached double figures in runs in back-to-back games since the 7th and 8th games of the year.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Not sure why they went with another fastball

[Transmogrified Tiger]

who does this Ervin character think he is, Ian Happ

[soccer10k]

Wow. Maybe our road luck is turning after all.

 

We scored a bunch of runs that last game in Milwaukee and then got 3 total in 3 games against the Cardinals.

 

I’m fully expecting like 7 runs total the next three games.

[ChiCubsFan]

Did Chatwood just throw 99?

 

Did this happen???

[We Got The Whole 9]

Hell yeah throw that change

[badger]

Heyward clearly isn't the answer to the leadoff question

 

If Happ keeps it up they’ll probably go back to him. And in a playoff series it should be Zobrist.

 

You two should just talk to each other. We can even make a separate forum.

[Cubswin11]

Almora almost fucked that catch up again with that dumb jump

I’m not necessarily giving up on Heyward in the leadoff spot just yet, but don’t you think Zobrist is our guy, assuming he returns to form? (I understand that’s a big IF)

[CyHawk_Cub]

Tried his best to Jim Edmonds that catch.

[Schwarber Fan]

Tried his best to Jim Edmonds that catch.

 

It definitely looked like he let up on the final stride.

[Schwarber Fan]

Screw it, Almora can hit with no one on base, let him lead off.

 

/notserious

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I'm absolutely giddy by Lucroy's first game.

[Schwarber Fan]

Anyone else stunned Almora made it home safely?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Anyone else stunned Almora made it home safely?

 

Aldi-brand Soler’s throw was about 30 feet up the line, that’ll cover a lot of slow

[Cubswin11]

Anyone else stunned Almora made it home safely?

A decent throw had him I think.

[Brian]

it's more fun when the other team is pitching position players

[Schwarber Fan]

This is what all position player pitchers should do

[Derwood]

Throwing 40 mph is the new market ineffeciency

[Deeg]

Heyward took about six steps before that last swing.

[Deeg]

LOL, dude behind home plate shamed into putting his shirt back on.

[Edith Cox]

Tied our season high in hits
