August 21 - (still offensively challenged???)Cubs, starting Yu v Tall People, starting a Dereck - 7:05P on NBCSCH

[Schwarber Fan]

They must have a great scouting report on the left fielder to send Happ there.

 

And for some reason he didn’t slide.

[Derwood]

I feel like Bryant has been the final out of the inning in his last 15 at-bats. I know that's not true, but he's leaving a lot of people on base

[Derwood]

It's cool that Metallica's bass player got a second gig as a starting pitcher for the Giants

[PackLandVA]

Cards will lose tonight so let’s make up some ground.

 

VBs score 4 in the first and another in the fourth. Up 5-0 in the botton of 4th.

[Schwarber Fan]

I love when Schwarb goes oppo

[Sammy Sofa]

Big ol' dong.

[Bote McBoteface]

Home cubs are a fun team to watch

[Schwarber Fan]

Yu settling in nicely.

[Brian]

at the end of Spring Training you're told that on August 21 Schwarber would be the dong leader, you have to assume he's having an insane year with like 40 by now or things are much worse than they actually are/multiple people are hurt, right?

[TMan92]

I am naming my first born son Nicholas....

 

(Actually did it 10 years ago knowing how good Castellanos would be)

 

Wow, Kris is garbage the last couple games.

Id actually go with the Occams Razor approach that simpy a bunch of the top power hitters on our team are on pace for the good but not great 30 to 35 HR season and hes narrowly at the top.

 

Still love KB but a little annoying that Yelich is somehow a 40 to 50 hrs dongsmith now with the juicer ball and easy power KB seems to be in the mid 30s range over a full season.

Garbage Darvish through one inning. Hopefully the offense is alive tonight.

 

I mean, you do realize the asinine nature of the first sentence when you read it objectively correct?

No, he was garbage in the first inning. Gave up 3 rockets, another hard hit out, and his rhythm looked way off. As I said two posts ago, glad to see he’s settled in.

I guess for someone who’s been as good as him. Using garbage after literally one inning is excessive and over the top. Even for you. “Struggled” might be more accurate. 1 inning seems like too short a period to bust out “garbage” but whatever.

He’s been good for a significant period of time now, I agree. But we also saw a long stretch of time where he’s gotten into dong trouble, which is always a concern to resurface.

[Andy]

I did not think that one was going to get out

[Cubswin11]

How the horsefeathers did that get out

Welcome to baseball 2019, when every game is just a slightly less version of home run derby.

[Cubswin11]

Yu would be on a 2015 Jake like run right now if not for this ridiculous HR/FB rate.

[Brian]

nice pitch to the 8 hitter with 2 on 2 out buddy

[badger]

Good AB by Happ to set that up

This is probably what 2015 Jake would look like if he were pitching w this ball tho lol

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Brewers just about ready to blow their 5-0 lead.
