Any chance any of you have the link to the "MLB Reddit" that has live feeds of games? I forgot and I'm in the stupid WAS blackout territory

The Bilasport one is always the one that seems to work the best for me and has no ads

Is there a pitcher in baseball that gives up more first inning one-spots than Lester? It’s almost a guarantee.

[TMan92]

Is it me or has Baez been pretty mediocre lately?

[Schwarber Fan]

Yep, we’re getting shut down by sanchez today.

Who needs Edith for random sample sizes when you have the OG?

 

.154/.190/.231/.421 over his last 11 games. Season OPS dropped from .887 to .849 coming into today.

If we are going to have the moron on the roster, can we give Javy a day off?

[Schwarber Fan]

2-0 feels like a huge deficit, not going to lie.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

The Nationals are like my dream offense. They can hit for average, slug, get on base, steal bases. They can score without hitting home runs.

 

They are really well-rounded.

He’s been dog horsefeathers for quite some time now.

It's just you. Their bullpen is more horse horsefeathers than ours. We just need to keep this close.

All part of my plan to Make Extensions Affordable Again.

Oh, they only have to keep the Nationals from scoring a bunch? No problem.

[Brian]

I'm liking the chances of another hitless first time through the order for the Cubs

[Sammy Sofa]

Definitely more like Pukeroy.

 

Get well soon, Willson. You are missed.

You felt much more confident when it was 1-0?? These are the cobs.

[Schwarber Fan]

Just another journeyman vet shutting down this offense.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Definitely more like Pukeroy.

To be fair in an Edith Cox sample size, Lucroy did enter today hitting .333 with a .417 on-base percentage with the Cubs.

can definitely tell the Cubs got into town late last night with an early wake up.

Because Sanchez is so much more unhittable than their crappy bullpen????

At least at one, someone could run into one and tie it (although in this wind, only bums like Adam eaton are allowed to hit homers)

[PackLandVA]

Get ready fellow sulkers.....

 

 

..........Cubs will score multi-runs off girly-man Sanchez second time thru the order!!!!

 

Book it!!

They are really well-rounded.

The Cubs and Nats, as a team, have pretty much identical offensive numbers. Nats are at a .263/.340/.453 slash line, .334 wOBA, 102 wRC+, 9% BB rate, 21% K rate, Cubs are at .253/.332/.451, .329 wOBA, 100 wRC+, 9% BB rate, 23% K rate. The only thing they do drastically different is steal bases.
