ALTHERRRRRRRRR

Cubs pitching is shit

OH fuck I thought it started at 8 30

...

Is MLB.tv not working for anyone else?

Nah maybe your flash isn't updated?

It's working fine. PC? Roku? DVD player?

It was my Flash version. It's working now, thanks

If Williams, Quinn, and Crawford were all called up, would the Phillies have the most African Americans in the MLB?

WELP

BRYANT DINGERINO

B R Y N G E R

>lillies

We give the most home runs up of any team so get used to it.

what in the legitimate fuck happened to schwarber

jesus

>both teams start with a HR

This should be an interesting game.

Slump?

no, i know he's fat

why does he suck

Kek Miggy is based

Holy crackers, Tommy Joseph drew a walk!

Tommy's had like 3 good at-bats in 3 days. It's a miracle!

It may also help that the Cubs pitching is shit

1st inning era is 10+

>do your job bosio

We need to create the worst pitching team, inning by inning. We have innings 1 and 9, but 2-8 are needed

Where's the autistic suicidal tripfag?
>fuck this game anyways, the aaa cubs are playing now

I'll take it, good stuff by the bottom of the order

THERE YOU GO!

I worry that Cesar, even if he keeps up as best 2B in the NL, won't make the all star team because Daniel Murphy hits the longball and plays behind Bryce Harper

Can't he be a sub? Murphy is definitely making it even though he's a black hole on defense

Of course he can. But I think that he would deserve to start.

Also, Why is Hellickson trying to Outlester Lester

Just arrived home. How's it going?

Solo dingers and Lester complaining to the ump nothing much so far

only gave up 1 first inning run tonight

>BUTT LIGHT?

>Lelster

Literally a miracle

>spelled Lester
>not Leicester

What the fuck was that?

Lester can't turn left.

Lester throws out a baserunner

>TOPKEK

our base-running IQ this year is fucking atrocious

Wew he actually did something with the bat

>throwing pitches in the strikezone to Baez
why would you do this?

...

How many dingers has Schwarber hit so far in this season?

PLEASE BE OUT PLEASE BE OUT PLEASE BE OUT

yeah he beat it

It says here you are BTFO. Your response?

BOOYAH

>60+ pitches after 3 Innings
What the fuck

How the fuck was that Balk?

That just happens with all the Phils starting pitchers.

Guys I found John Kruk. He's wearing a Tommy Joseph Suit and standing on second base

TOJO

Are the Cubs, dare I say it, a meme?

SAFE AS FUCK

ball was on the ground when he touched

new fan watching via live updates thingy.

How long do challenges normally take?

Lawn dart!

For the love of all that is holy get out of this inning

Well, Schwbarro, this is your chance to redeem yourself.

Welp the challenege literally broke live updates for me.

SCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

...

This was expected.

God fucking damn it. Fuck you you fat piece of shit

SCHWUBBY!!!

TRIPS

Welp, this game's over. GG Cubs.

Post abs or fuck off.

Now it begins.

just be lucky the pitching is in a funk and most of the team is ass at the plate rn. Dont be surprised if this goes south for us

Lester has like 2 more innings max it's not over yet

Is it like a coin-flip if the phillies play well or not?

this was expected man this is a great offense eventually they're gonna start hitting le popup man

I'm still new so I don't know shit about other teams.

Still figuring out how stats work slowly.

>It's 10 o'clock
>Do you know where your Phillies are?

...

Man whatever, just go to the bullpen Pete put the names in a grab-bag and pull one randomy for each inning. It'll go better than that's happened so far

Pretty much the cubs this year as well with batting.

The pitching is a coin flip as well. but only if one side of the coin was really heavy and it meant it would be shitty. Except for a few relievers

Well you should at least know the Cubs are the defending World Series champions. And they're in a slump right now but their lineup when healthy is as good as any in the NL except maybe the Nats

more errors

wtf cusb

Cubs' problem is pitching this year.

Come on DOOBS

IN A HOLE

uh

I'm on board now. Give the Phillies Matte helmets

;c doobs is lost lately

>matt helmets

>96 pitches
That's 7-8 innings for most pitchers.

Please don't fuck it up, Lestah.

I'm tired of seeing every single helmet looks ultra shitty and dinged up

What the fuck, Cesar

FUCK

He went full May 2016

Good thing he got that out at first.
