first for cusbs
Theo, please trade rizzo for starting pitching...gray and archer
He would never trade Rizzo
That will literally never happen. Rizzo and Theo are really close. They formed a relationship when Theo was in Boston because Jon Lester and Theo came to the hospital to support Rizzo when he was battling cancer.
never say never...babe ruth was traded and rizzo NO babe ruth
when does kyle get back...i dont like bulter or mike as starter
What happened to 'le-cannot-throw-to-first-base-man'?

who do the cubs sign when arrieta and lackey leave this winter?
not a lot to choose from. jake wants too much money but they might be able to get lackey for another year to soften the blow
the way eddie butler has pitched hes deserved to stick around for the 4 or 5 spot so they probably really only need one more. I wouldnt be shocked if they went out and got gray. There really isnt room for jiminez on the team right now
BEEEEEZ!!!
Go Cubs!
Come on Cubbies!
Welcome to the 500 Club. If only the Cubs would pull their heads out of their asses and start playing the fucking game like professionals then we might have a chance for a repeat, but not the way they're playing.
Hey I remember you from the start of the season. Still at it I see. Keep it up. Would be a bigger blunder than signing Soriano.
Just woke up from my nap. What happened?
Has anyone seen swedeguy lately?
Gio
Effectively wild or just wild.
Cubs are going on a tear after the all Star break
It's like 2-3 in the morning Swed time, can't expect him to be around for games like this every day.
>Cubs can't get shit done when runners are on base.
>Butler playing with fire all night with all the hard contact the NEETs have been getting.
Either the Cubs break out in hitting, or they shit the bed with the pitching. The Theo post champion year wild ride never ends.
That should have been a foul ball, not a HBP
call me crazy but I would have put butler out there again
he was in a thread a week ago, but then there haven't been many regulars lately, and the opposing fans don't seem to even give a fuck.
You're crazy if looked at the sort of balls he's been letting get hit. You had one ball that if it were 10 feet to the right, it would have been a home run, and multiple fly outs on the warning track. Butler's got bailed out by some godly defense by Baez, Contreras and Rizzo as well to keep the NEETs or the base or stopping them for being able to do any damage.
He might have a low pitch count, but he gave up 6 hits and keeping him in any longer after the NEET's batters already got a good look at his stuff, means they might be able to pull those foul balls and warning track outs just enough in the right direction to make them home runs.
we'll see
if he had survived another inning we wouldnt have to see strop
Strop and a late inning Butler give you the same odds for shitting the bed.
Also it looks like the unfucked version of Strop is pitching right now, so all is good.
...
I lied, someone find me some wood to knock on before Tailor hits a ball out of the park
How much are the cubs paying this ump?
>Strike zone has been shit for both teams.
>HURR CUBS MUST BE PAYING OFF THE UMPS
If that were the case, Gonzalez would have been tossed after he barked at the ump multiple times over the strike zone instead of letting Maddox settle it diplomatically.
Review system stops shitty umping a second time against Baez.
javy he would be so good if he wasnt trying to hit the ball 500ft every fucking time
>Audible 'Let's go Cubbie in the background
>All NEET's fans try to do is boo them out.
>Cubs get a run off a bunt.
I shouldn't be acting like a smug faget with Uehara coming in for relief, but that was just amusing.
my mom say if you dont stop bullying me shes gonna have a talk with the korean guy that runs this website...trade rizzo now
is this a good game I can't tell anymore
>thought this washed up old gook was going to be at best the lefty specialist
>one of the most important relievers this year
t-thanks theo
...
javy pls
Based
he should be dead
what if he did die and we are all dreaming this
>Baez fielding tonight.
He's got 2 game highlight reel catches tonight and even got the NEET fans to give him props for that sliding catch.
They really need to revoke the rule where you throw your glove at the ball. Baez probably could have pulled that off.
...
Nothing gets past Baez, not even metaphors.
If this is a dream, the Cubs wouldn't just be a game above .500.
Where's the Duensing image.
>Post your face when Duensing comes in and Maddon just has Harper intentionally walked after all the fanfare.
uuuuugh, god damn it
bring in wade davis now
baseball suck, this shit is so slow
>not having Baez on second base
I feel a storm a coming
ffs
>grimm
...
...
...
when will your country before the 51st state, us dems need your liberal ways to help Bernie win in 2020
Might as well pack it up and go home right now.
3 run hr incoming
bring in chapman
wew
for real though why wasnt davis in there? he hasnt pitched in a couple of days and it was just one more out
>Grimm didn't fuck up
bullpen spaghetti gets it done
bc every time theyve brought out davis to pitch part of the 8th, he's been garbage in the 9th
Because Davis, like Chapman only likes to pitch the final inning, and because Daivs isn't a flighty fucker like Chapman, maddon isn't going to run him into the ground.
>I
>Liberal or Dem
Pick one
Most Statehooders like myself are conservatives.
where are the fans?
nats are in first place in the east, playing a night game at home with good weather and the stadium is half empty
LET'S GET SOME insurance RUNS!
>JD and Len talking shit about the NEET fans leaving the game early.
'They just want to beat the traffic of the metro.'
No Sup Forumsitics, only ba/sp/ball pls.
>DC
>Fans
Nah. I'm moving out there soon, and I'm pumped I'll be able to see more Cubs games for cheap than when I live down the fucking street from Wrigley.
IN SUR ANCE.
>dat throw to the plate
Holy shit that was terrible. One of the worst I've ever seen.
>the shift
I know sorry user, was just letting him know.
Ian gets his redemption!
4-0
...
>hitting with runners in scoring position
What is this witchcraft?
...
>Ian "meaty ass" Happ
CMON GARY
>Fatt Albers
JAVI
>Randon coming in
2 more insurance runs please
Javy having a game
...
>Rondon will now be the closer tonight.
HANG ON TO YOUR BUTTS
BRAKES?
THAT'S A SECONDARY GAS PEDAL
NO! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE THE ONES IN CHARGE HERE!
Do you feel in charge?
>Hector "5 consecutive solo dingers" Rondon
To be fair, you get to at least not get shut out since Rondon is going to be pitching instead of Davis.
>The first game of the season the NEETS would get shut out in.
Buh bye shutout. Kinda wanted that honor, fuck you Rondon
IT BEGINS
THIS IS WHY YOU ARE NO LONGER A CLOSER RONDON.
it begins
>rondon
Why do the Cubs still play Rondon and Strop? What do they gain by having them pitch?
diversity
fuck you mlb.tv you delayed as shit shkreli douchbags
im all for getting rid of them if you know some better guys they can sign?
Where else are they gonna find relief guys? Farm isn't really rich with them right now
jay saves another hit
