August 22 - (offensive)Cubs, starting the Professor v Lengthy Men, starting Shark - 1:20P on WGN

[Brian]

is the zone as big as it looks on gameday?

[badger]

what a terrible call blue.

[Cubswin11]

Javy looks a little further off the plate than normal or his front leg is more open or something.

[Schwarber Fan]

I think Javy gets a day off tomorrow.

This ump has had a weird, bad, game. He’s missed on some clear strikes in the zone and called some balls way out of the zone strikes.

[Brian]

It's Kintzler, maybe Ryan/Wick combo the 9th based on match ups

[Cubswin11]

Leave him at 3B, please

[BigSlick]

Hendricks owns

That would be ideal/smart, Joe is gonna go Pedro I fear though

[Brian]

i really hate the 'burning two players just to get Handedness right' move, so i'm glad it gets punished

[Brian]

[Schwarber Fan]

Has to be wick for the 9th

Remember in Game 4 when Joe outsmarted Bochy by having Coghlan in the on deck circle to get Bochy to bring in a lefty so he could put Contreras in there instead?

 

That worked out quite well for us.

[Sammy Sofa]

DONG, YOU MOTHERLESS DOGS.

if nobody reaches Ryan probably stays in for the lefties batting 1 and 3

This sounds like a Fred stat.

[badger]

Baseball is funny. 12-11 wacky back and forth 7 hr game yesterday, 1-0 (hopefully) 0 hr, should still be scoreless game the next day.

[HawkeTrackler]

lmao what an ugly AB

I think he stays in to face lil' Yaz at least.

[UMFan83]

Damn, Addison getting hit with a wayward bat would have been fitting in so many ways.

[Omar]

Why not Kimbrel?

Why not Kimbrel?

 

Already went back to back coming off the IL
