8/7 - Cubs (Smyly) vs Mets (Senga): 6:10pm, Marquee

[UMFan83]

Dansby’s power surge has been awesome but seems like his K% is also skyrocketing lately. 9 K in his past 20 AB including 2 tonight. 

[abuck1220]

way to let their only good hitter beat you. smyly should have never been allowed to face him again. 

[Derwood]

Maybe stop pitching to Alonso

[We Got The Whole 9]

Stop horsefeathers pitching to him you idiots

It's about 35% in 2nd half 

[abuck1220]

but the guy hitting behind him has a .570 OPS so it’s a real pick your poison situation. 

[Rex Buckingham]

I know we don't have many options, but it sucks that we keep giving starts to Smyly

[Nolansomebody]

Not a fun start so far

[chibears55]

Watching Illinois in LLWS playing Ohio in Great Lakes Semi, tied 4-4..lol

I have zero faith with Smily on the mound

[s2obed]

Yuck Smyly. Back to back cubs killers in Albies and Alonso.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Has anyone pointed out that Drew Smyly sucks balls?

[Derwood]

Nice slide Happ. Maybe slide before you get to the base

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Ian Happ studied base running at the Anthony Rizzo School for the TOOTBLAN in the offseason.

I hear that school is joining the PAC 12

[We Got The Whole 9]

Like, why not just take the 2 baserunners and see if Swanson can knock more in. 

 

Nevermind, just saw the replay. Ugh, Ian. Just pitiful.

Well, if we're gonna lose, I sure do prefer a half game played where we didn't use any of our good pitchers

Happ I don't think realized the throw was coming to 3rd, so he started an abbreviated slide late and ended up stumbling past the bag.  His hand slipped a couple inches off the base so he got tagged.

[We Got The Whole 9]

They finally realized they don't have to pitch to Alonso. That lineup is trash.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Why is Killian here if not to eat innings in situations just like this?

[itisallpartoftheplan]

So Ross decided to punt this one.

[Derwood]

Bringing Smyly out for the 6th was just classic Ross

[s2obed]

So when is Smyly moving to the pen?Wesneski or Assad have to be better than what Smyly is providing. 

[CubinNY]

Call it. 

[Derwood]

Reds win, Brewers up big.
