5/31 Reds (Ashcraft) @ Cubs (Assad) 1:20 PM CT

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Homeboy lost the ball, his beer, and likely most of his pride. 

[CubinNY]

He murders the Reds and Pirates 

[Andy]

We have reached the point where I legitimately think Ian Happ might sue Major League Baseball for slicing the amount of games the Cubs play against the Reds and Pirates

Remember when most of the fanbase wanted to take Ian Happ out back and shoot him?  You should it wasn't even two weeks ago.

If we're lucky, we can reuse this post in a couple weeks with a different name in there.

If Happ only faced NL central opponents he probably in the running for mvp annually.

I never wanted to get rid of him but he was horsefeathers awful man. 15 games in a row without an XBH will make most people antsy.

 

horsefeathers, PCA gave that one a good ride.  Son of a bitch.

Cubs don't have enough juice to carry a defensive only catcher let alone two.

Especially when they're not particularly good on defense.

[gflore34]

Counsell writing - "my catchers suck ass on his score sheet" - after that magnificent at bat by Gomes.

[CubinNY]

India is kind of a douchebag. 

[JHBulls]

TIL. There is a left and right sock. 
 

Thank you Craig Counsell. 

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Awfully smug reaction from Benson when you're hitting as bad as him and you couldn't get the ball out of the shallowest alleys in the game

There's no kind of about it and I'll leave it at that.

[CubinNY]

I think Assad is my favorite Cubs pitcher. He's a bulldog. 

[CubinNY]

That probably hit him where he pulled that muscle. 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Man Chris, go with that slider and we have at least 1 run if not 3

[We Got The Whole 9]

Ugh

[mul21]

This has to be the unluckiest team in the league by a wide margin when it comes to xBA vs actual BA.

Wait about two weeks, those thoughts will likely return 😏

[LBiittner]

Calling it now stevensongoing deep

[LBiittner]

Whoops

 

[Transmogrified Tiger]

2-0 pitch has to be called a strike, probably cost them the run

I'm sooo ready for automated strike calling.
