8/12 Cubs (Hendricks) @ Indians (Carrasco) 5:00 Marquee

[Andy]

Tuesdays seem to go well for us in Cleveland. To date, Wednesdays have treated us pretty well in the Mistake by the Lake, too. Especially with the Professor on the hill. Keep it going, boys.

Schwarber scratched (knee soreness from last night's plunking). Bryant to LF, Bote in at 3B batting 7th and everyone who was 5-7 moves up a spot.

This probably isn't super valuable in the grand scheme of things, but that's one of those things that never shows up in the year end numbers for KB. One of our outfielders goes down, and instead of having to plug in Almora/Souza, we get to insert our best bat/player off the bench.

Good for Ryan Sweeney parlaying 400ish AB's 6 years ago for the last truly awful Cubs teams into a studio job at Marquee.

 

edit: also nice that in the 5 minute I watched him just now he probably had more personality than how many ever years of DeJesus combined.

[Brian]

did somebody give Rizzo the giant chain for his birthday or did he steal it from Soler while they were in KC?

Good job knocking a SP out early again, but gotta score there. horsefeathering bums.

[Cubswin11]

Bryant has looked like complete horsefeathers outside of taking some walks all year. He’s not even making hard contact.

[We Got The Whole 9]

KB ABs used to be absolute cant miss events

 

Hes been horsefeathering trash so far. I'm shocked that his Hard% is currently at a career high; besides the HR I feel like all contact he has made has been dying quails off of the end of the bat. Hes got to snap out of this funk soon.

The Professor looks great tonight. Should go pretty deep and his ERA is again under 3.

[Brian]

score these runs you idiots

[Brian]

come on Willy what was that

[Regular Show]

I think Willy went too far on that checked swing... Home plate ump should still check with the other ump with a better view though

[We Got The Whole 9]

I guess I just gotta accept that they are always going to horsefeathering suck against curveballs. This is pathetic.

[bcl412]

It’s dumb when an ump doesn’t appeal and that wasn’t that bad of a reaction. Tossing him seems excessive but whatever I suppose you can’t slam the bat like that when it’s clearly at the ump

So if Vic moves to catcher we lose the DH, right?

[Brian]

not only not GIDP'ing there, but actually getting the sac fly is a big W in that scenario

[Brian]

So if Vic moves to catcher we lose the DH, right?

 

Yes

[We Got The Whole 9]

Huge hit by Bote!

[Old Style]

So if Vic moves to catcher we lose the DH, right?

 

Yes

What if the DH happens to get hurt? Can they be replaced? Does it have to be someone from the bench or can a position player move there?

[Regular Show]

Hey, we scored some runs there! Feels like a big change from previous years lol

[Brian]

So if Vic moves to catcher we lose the DH, right?

 

Yes

What if the DH happens to get hurt? Can they be replaced? Does it have to be someone from the bench or can a position player move there?

 

I'm pretty sure the only way to change the DH without losing it is with people of the bench

[Regular Show]

 

Yes

Correct

[Brian]

that's a swing

[Regular Show]

Good catch by KB. I hope he's okay

 

Edit: Nvm, not a catch. Man, that sucks and I wish they threw it to 3B to get one out.
