8/27 Cubs (Yu) at Mets (Stroman) 6:10pm NBCSCH

[Derwood]

This Alonso guy is other-worldly. There’s literally not a player on the Cubs better than he is.

 

Coming into this game, Bryant, Baez and Alonso all had 4.2 fWAR

Javy and KB both technically started the night tied with Alonso in fWAR but yeah he’s really good

 

Edit: beaten...by Derwood

[Schwarber Fan]

I’d probably trade KB for Alonso. Maybe not Javy.

[Schwarber Fan]

Just took the lead with your pitcher who hasn’t walked anyone for months on the mound?

 

4 pitch walk to start the next half-inning.

[Andy]

I don't like when Russell does good things but it's almost worth it for the Cubs Twitter account acknowledging them only in the most rudimentary way.

[Schwarber Fan]

HECK YES JAVY!

[Andy]

Javy might be coming alive.

What a night by Javy!

JD shading the hell out of all the trash we've trotted out at the bottom (and sometimes top) of the lineup.

Lucky you. I’ve got Bob Costas who is awkward as hell, like usual.

No way

[Andy]

Finish strong, Yu.

[Schwarber Fan]

Is Costas serious right now? Referencing the 1969 black cat thing and Rajai Davis’ home run within the span of a minute. What a clown.

[Sammy Sofa]

Holy horsefeathers, a Rajai Davis sighting.

Costas makes every baseball game sound like the Winter Olympics studio show

This is extremely accurate.

[Schwarber Fan]

What a much needed game by Javy.

[Schwarber Fan]

Cardinals about to put the dagger in the Brewers season.

[Cubswin11]

What a beautiful game of offense the last 2-3 innings after that turd of a start

Molina's geriatric ass has 2 dongs because why the hell not

[Omar]

Can Javy stop it with the TOOTBLANs today?

[TMan92]

This is way more fun than watching.

 

How is there a rain delay in Milwaukee?

My bad. Len was talking about how the Cubs actually hit better with runners on (or maybe RISP), and JD was like, "well that might be a little misleading because when you have a few weak links in your lineup, a good pitcher will pitch around the good hitters and then take care of the weaker ones."
