>Schwarber batting 2nd

I wanna sit down with Maddon and see how he comes to decisions like these

Where would you bat him hot shot? His OBP isn't half bad.

in the bottom half of the order

true on the OBP, but Heyward and Happ have done better in that category without batting below .200 and being strikeout machines

however, I hope this instills some confidence in Schwarbs. it's been a frustrating season on his part but I know he's capable of being much better

Is my MLB.tv running behind or has the game not actually started yet?

it's happening

GOD DAMN LACKEY

WHAT A REPLACEMENT LEVEL BUM

...

fuck the cusb

i'm just here to see votto tie the record

>tfw you missed Rizzo's grand slam because you were making scrambled eggs

GRANDE SALAMI

I would like to apologize to Schwarber for getting on base and Maddon for putting him that high in the lineup

TIE THE RECORD VOTTO

Just got home. What did I miss?

Anthony Rizzo hit a big meaty grand salami

and Lackey's being a hack

He's about to load the bases for the second inning in a row.

bahk

>Reeds in charge of being safe at the plate

Rizzo is on fire.

And he just did it. What a garbage performance so far. He's lucky only 1 run has scored.

send lackey back to the cards and bring back dexter

I don't think they're dumb enough to take him back.

Schwarber's fielding getting another runner at home out. Again.

Dexter is old and busted now since he took the Champion's curse with him that only Maddon can cure. Look at how everyone who was traded or went away via FA is absolute shit.

why wont maddon let schwarber be a catcher...

rizzo will hit for the cycle

no kidding...he basically stole 2nd right there

Schwaber's big flaw was he always tried to hit it out of the park rather than settle for a single. Look at the type of hits he got when he was the lead off man at the start of the season. They were almost all doubles and home runs.

Schwarber showing plate discipline and hitting just singles is going a very long way.

Because it really takes a toll on the knees. Schwarber will only be called up to be a catcher if Avila or Caratini get injured or they both manage to have rough outtings and need extra rest days.

Do not direct disgruntled lolis at me! Damn right you.

is it just me or are the cubs tv announcers boring tonight

>lolis

Can't bring solid gold every day.


Lackey gets a hit!

Lackey steal's a base!

LACKEY YOU UTTER MADMAN

>that awkward slide

They just made a joke about Lackey thinking he's Ricky Henderson. It's a decent night.

>Lackey gets umpballed again

>"You know when it's hot & muggy the crime rate goes up, and [Lackey]'s feeling like a bit of larceny..."
>"He thinks he's Rickey Henderson!"

It was only a matter of time

>steal's
Embarrassing

> That one faggot cubs poster who keeps posting the same anime pics every game thread.

His pitching reminds me of Ricky Vaughn.

>lackey snaps it right of the air
nice

>lackey is the only thing holding votto back

>Schwarber getting on base all 3 at bats

WGN's cameraman sure likes zooming in on that spider.

Rachnera is best girl

>baez doing that thing with his back right leg and bends it every fucking swing
what the shit is that

>Heyward the speed demon

[ W ]

It's a little early for that bro

>Sup Forumsfag trying to jinx the Cubs
>It's working
FUCK

>Cubs pitching

> the dwindling ghost town of rondon.
Fuck this guy. He has to go back. He's our new marmol.

>Ron-done
>Ron-down

you had one job....

congrats to votto for tying the record

At least he's not as shitty as Wilson. That fag has giving up a run in almost all his outtings.

>alright! time for the stretch!
>"what.s this? Cubs are bringing in their right fielder to pitch????
>"AAHGGJGJDFJGIJJSVSBB"

what in the timeless fuck just happened...who was that?

Says the cancerous newfag

WHY IN THE BLUE FUCK ARE THE CUBS PAYING HECTOR "JUST HIT AS MANY HOME RUNS OFF ME AS YOU WANT" RONDON ALMOST 6 (SIX) MILLION DOLLARS THIS YEAR TO LOSE GAMES FOR THEM?
WHY IS HECTOR "I'M REALLY BAD AT BASEBALL BUT THESE STUPID GRINGOS KEEP PAYING ME" RONDON STILL ON A MAJOR LEAGUE ROSTER? WHY HAS THIS USELESS BEANER NOT BEEN DEPORTED? SOMEBODY KILL HIM, DFA HIM, TRADE HIM, OR RELEASE HIM OR I SWEAR ON MY OWN DICK I'LL STEAL A MISSILE FROM THE US GOVERNMENT AND OBLITERATE HIS HOUSE MYSELF.

kek. i have been here since the days of raiding Tom Green's bullshit show. don't try to make a pissing contest out of this

>Reading KYM and encyclopedia dramatic means you were here.
>Yet you make a classic newfag blunder and cling to mainstream memes.
LOL, whatever you say newfag

This thread needs less cancer and more anime to drive the Cubs to victory.

>Wade Davis in a non save chance
Aw shit...

fuvk

holy shit reds

pls give votto one more chance

>leave when Cusb are 6-1
>take a shit and a shower
>come back
>6-6
>5 runs in the last two innings
Why did I expect anything different?

whatever you say faggot. you are probably new Sup Forums trash. here and fresh faced from that cancerous election. been here since 2006 and will remain long after you leave.

> it's another joe mismanaged the game by putting in meme pitchers episode

HOLY SHIT BAEZ WITH THE HOME RUN

>'Claims' he's only from 2006
>Actively embraces cancer
>projects
Way to prove you aren't even from 2006 newfag.

A double is fine too.

>This fucking umpball
God bless Maddon for telling the umps to eat shit.

shit man, you are a desperate one. sure, i'm not quite as ancient as some of the anime fags, but i raided myspace accounts with gore and furry shit over a decade back. why is it so important to you to deny my claims? its not really something to be fucking proud of

YOUR CINCINNATI REDS MVP

>you now remember that votto isn't getting the record after bryant gets the walk off

We wouldn't be having this discussion and you wouldn't feel the need to defend yourself. Ergo you are attempting to be 'proud' of it.

>Small game hunting with myspace
hahahah

...

WILD PITCH WALK OFF

oh fuck off, we were kids having fun back then. shitposting about george bush and fishing myspace accounts was worth a few laughs. never actually hurt anybody, save maybe tom green's psyche. it only gets a little irritating when people think you are fresh off the boat after a decade of shitposting. not a point of pride as much as buttmad about inaccuracy.

...

REFS BTFO

[W]ild pitch

CALL THAT ONE A STRIKE YOU ASSHOLE UMPS

>'claims' to have been around during the golden age
>Now actively embraces cancer that makes Sup Forums shit
Way to expose yourself as a newfag son.

I disagree with your assessment that all current memes are "cancer". Pepe has been a symbol of this shithole long before these alt right neckbeard fags tried to hijack it. Enjoy my continued shitposting for at least another decade

So you admit you're newfag cancer and don't belong here, but are intent of shitting Sup Forums up. Which creates the implication you're also from reddit.

Nice.

Pepe is a saint, he has more of a right to be here then you do
