Amazing!

Did it look like Baez missed 3rd?

Wasn't Sammy the last Cub to hit one in the park?

I guess Rizzo did it. Don't remember that at all.

Jon Jay is good and cool

I didn't notice it the first time but that throw by Moncrief is incredible.

I'm going to need a Schwarber PH homer on to that Cubs boat tonight

Please play Almora. Feels like he constantly hits the ball hard.

Joe leaving in his starter too long and now will gently caress up the bullpen decisions.

Has he forgotten that Rondon is on this team?

Strop has been really good lately so I'm surprised he's in the game here.

Niwrad

He was out.

I know he'll just strikeout but I want to see Schwarber hit tonight.

Will Hector Rondon ever pitch again?

:lol: let's put Edwards in another high leverage situation

Niwrad

For real, is Rondon hurt or something? Like he starts throwing 100 and can't get into a game anymore. Maybe they should have just moved him at the deadline.

Justin Wilson kind of sucks

Is Hector Rondon still on the team?

Wilson sucks still.

Apparently he's dealing with back tightness.

Have they heard of the DL? Dude hasn't pitched in like 2 weeks. They could move it back retroactively I believe.

I'm guessing Koji in the 8th?

I don't know why Jones put up the stop sign with two outs and a lefty up next.

Niwrad
Jul 1, 2008

At least they didn't get arrow'd.

This seems high in the order for Caratini but maybe Joe knows something I don't

Niwrad
Jul 1, 2008

Kris Bryant is cool

Also please don't hit Caratini so high

Niwrad
Jul 1, 2008

I think Caratini might have tipped that. He didn't react like a drop 3rd strike.

Sydin posted:

I sincerely hope Schwarber starts next year in the minors. The occasional monster dong is not enough to make up for striking out this much. If it were, the Cubs would have traded him for Miller a year ago and signed Chris Carter for peanuts.

They should trade him for a controllable starter in the offseason. He can and sometimes is a good hitter but he'll never be great since he's left handed and strikes out too much.

Niwrad

Baez has had an innate ability to find holes in the infield of late.

Niwrad
Jul 1, 2008

I still don't get why Caratini is hitting 5th

Let's put our worst hitter behind our best hitters so they don't have to pitch to them

e. I mean who else do you bat 5th. Javy I guess? It's not like Heyward or Schwarber are going to drive in any more runners than Caratini would. The bottom of our lineup is a dumpster fire at the moment.

Happ or Baez

Neither is much better in the K department.

I'd rather have them up than Caratini with a bunch of runners on.
