who cares

bryant wips out the dong early

[Andy]

That was a really impressive swing by KB.

Bryant has a pulse

Bryant has a pulse

Haha...that is a sad but true statement and I stand corrected (despite the paltry .200 avg).

Yeah there's bad process and there's bad results. Everyone currently has bad results right now, but I feel like Bryant, Heyward, and Willson have had good process (and as I type that Willson takes a called strike 3...l

Jake fitting seamlessly into the 2019 Jon Lester slot of the rotation.

Nice inning Heyward....

[Cubswin11]

That was a really weird inning by Heyward

[Schwarber Fan]

He was safe but they won’t overturn that.

[Andy]

He was safe but they won’t overturn that.

I think he beat it as well but it was so close I don't mind the uphold there.

[17 Seconds]

its weirdly satisfying seeing this franchise implode. I guess it's because we all know they deserve it.

[Andy]

Someday Javy won't be our shortstop and we probably won't even think twice at whoever the next guy is failing to even get to a ball like that, let alone make the play as effortlessly as he just made that look.

[Bertz]

It's so weird after the last few years that I basically can't wait to turn every game over to the pen

Speak for yourself on the satisfaction part.

[Schwarber Fan]

Heck yeah, Javy!

[Bertz]

LOL Javy

 

It's valuable to have a hitter in your lineup who can do some real wildcard stuff like that. I think it's tougher in this lineup because there's already so much RH swing and miss.

[UMFan83]

So coming into today the Cubs had 19 runs scored on 21 hits in their first 6 games.

 

They finally have a game where they've gotten a ton of hits (10!) and its resulted in...3 runs

 

Which on the surface is below average but not highly unusual, but just funny given how the rest of the season has gone.

[Derwood]

10 hits? What is this madness??

[Tim]

Javy took a 3-2 pitch? Did it almost hit him?

[abuck1220]

winkler sucks

[Schwarber Fan]

Not getting that stupid 5th run is gonna kill us.

[Cubswin11]

horsefeathers off Winkler you piece of trash

[Schwarber Fan]

Winkler will be on the phantom DL tomorrow.
