8/13 - Cubs (Quintana) vs. Phillies (Vargas) - 6:05pm CT NBCSCH/MLBN

[Schwarber Fan]

Good luck to our pen in a tie game in this park. I hope Joe doesn’t get cute with Harper but you know he will.

[Edith Cox]

Can Mallee come over to our side and and fix some guys swings the rest of the series or season.

[Schwarber Fan]

Damn, this is gonna be the night Ryan turns back into a pumpkin.

[TMan92]

Here come the road Cubs.

[TMan92]

The realmuto game

[Schwarber Fan]

horsefeathers that.

 

horsefeathers the Phillies.

 

horsefeathers the road cubs.

 

horsefeathers everything.

[Schwarber Fan]

The realmuto game

 

He kills us every game. He’s another cub killer.

[Sammy Sofa]

That's what I get for being cautiously optimistic.

Yes, Mr. Sherman; they're ALL Cub-Killers.

[Edith Cox]

Anytime the LHP SP is out Almora needs to be out and Kyle in LF and put Nick back in RF

[Cubswin11]

Sweet defense not having KB on the line there. horsefeathering idiots calling the shots for this team.

[TMan92]

That's what I get for being cautiously optimistic.

 

Happ catching a routine pop up would have been cool. Oh well. Let’s try to avoid another late inning road loss.

You are absolutely right. This has happened a lot this year.

Anytime the LHP SP is out Almora needs to be out and Kyle in LF and put Nick back in RF

I thought he is not replaceable because of his otherworldly defense and that -3 DRS this year and +6 for his career?

[itisallpartoftheplan]

I guess winning 2 in a row on the road is an impossible task.

Albert is our best CF, but he can't hit worth a damn vs RHP. I hate wasting Schwarber's power for one AB off the bench which he's not good at and his arm in LF is a plus which I find valuable in a close game.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Rizzo has zero discipline right now

[Schwarber Fan]

Can’t wait to watch Almora ground out in the 9th

[Edith Cox]

Thank god we came back last time and didn't start this trip 1-4

[Sammy Sofa]

Rizzo has zero discipline right now

 

Yeah, but this is what happens if Joe calls him out:

 

[Edith Cox]

horsefeathering Royals hit into a DP on the first pitch with 2 on and no outs.

[Schwarber Fan]

Really no reason to keep watching if they score here.

[TMan92]

Man that was some terrible base running

[Schwarber Fan]

Wow, thanks for that, Phillies.
