>Schwarber batting 2nd
I wanna sit down with Maddon and see how he comes to decisions like these
Ian Howard
Where would you bat him hot shot? His OBP isn't half bad.
Bentley Ortiz
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
Ian Edwards
Is my MLB.tv running behind or has the game not actually started yet?
Brandon Jackson
it's happening
Camden Hernandez
GOD DAMN LACKEY
WHAT A REPLACEMENT LEVEL BUM
Adrian Clark
...
Joseph Campbell
fuck the cusb
i'm just here to see votto tie the record
Noah Parker
>tfw you missed Rizzo's grand slam because you were making scrambled eggs
Michael Fisher
GRANDE SALAMI
I would like to apologize to Schwarber for getting on base and Maddon for putting him that high in the lineup
Ryder Ward
TIE THE RECORD VOTTO
Elijah Miller
Just got home. What did I miss?
Parker Campbell
Anthony Rizzo hit a big meaty grand salami
Ian Powell
and Lackey's being a hack
Landon Walker
He's about to load the bases for the second inning in a row.
Christopher Mitchell
bahk
Kayden Harris
>Reeds in charge of being safe at the plate
Kayden Taylor
Rizzo is on fire.
Angel Gomez
And he just did it. What a garbage performance so far. He's lucky only 1 run has scored.
Ryan Diaz
send lackey back to the cards and bring back dexter
Aaron Thomas
I don't think they're dumb enough to take him back.
Easton Morgan
Schwarber's fielding getting another runner at home out. Again.
Camden Myers
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.
Gabriel Rogers
why wont maddon let schwarber be a catcher...
Matthew Carter
rizzo will hit for the cycle
Owen Price
no kidding...he basically stole 2nd right there
Luis Hall
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.
Carter Perry
Do not direct disgruntled lolis at me! Damn right you.
Gabriel Hall
is it just me or are the cubs tv announcers boring tonight
Isaiah Morris
>lolis
Can't bring solid gold every day.
Lackey gets a hit!
Dominic Powell
Lackey steal's a base!
Christian Howard
LACKEY YOU UTTER MADMAN
>that awkward slide
Jonathan Murphy
They just made a joke about Lackey thinking he's Ricky Henderson. It's a decent night.
Carter Russell
>Lackey gets umpballed again
Benjamin Smith
>"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
Chase Howard
>steal's Embarrassing
Josiah Price
> That one faggot cubs poster who keeps posting the same anime pics every game thread.
Liam Miller
His pitching reminds me of Ricky Vaughn.
Charles Perez
>lackey snaps it right of the air nice
Gavin Jenkins
>lackey is the only thing holding votto back
Parker Morales
>Schwarber getting on base all 3 at bats
Jackson Scott
WGN's cameraman sure likes zooming in on that spider.
Dominic Bailey
Rachnera is best girl
David Butler
>baez doing that thing with his back right leg and bends it every fucking swing what the shit is that
John Davis
>Heyward the speed demon
Gabriel Thomas

John Morris
It's a little early for that bro
Wyatt Peterson
>Sup Forumsfag trying to jinx the Cubs >It's working FUCK
Michael Foster
>Cubs pitching
Justin Martinez
> the dwindling ghost town of rondon. Fuck this guy. He has to go back. He's our new marmol.
Caleb Lee
>Ron-done >Ron-down
you had one job....
Josiah Harris
congrats to votto for tying the record
Levi Clark
At least he's not as shitty as Wilson. That fag has giving up a run in almost all his outtings.
Isaiah Hill
>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?
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.
Landon Cooper
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
Gavin Hernandez
>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
Ian Martinez
This thread needs less cancer and more anime to drive the Cubs to victory.
>Wade Davis in a non save chance Aw shit...
David Kelly
fuvk
Adrian Garcia
holy shit reds
pls give votto one more chance
Anthony Hall
>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?
David Rogers
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.
Lucas Price
> it's another joe mismanaged the game by putting in meme pitchers episode
Tyler Rogers
HOLY SHIT BAEZ WITH THE HOME RUN
Blake Ortiz
>'Claims' he's only from 2006 >Actively embraces cancer >projects Way to prove you aren't even from 2006 newfag.
Henry Thomas
A double is fine too.
Aaron Diaz
>This fucking umpball God bless Maddon for telling the umps to eat shit.
Ayden Lee
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
Noah Brooks
YOUR CINCINNATI REDS MVP
Charles Wilson
>you now remember that votto isn't getting the record after bryant gets the walk off
Michael Gray
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
Colton Hill

Nathan Nguyen
WILD PITCH WALK OFF
Christian Jones
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.
Eli Phillips

CALL THAT ONE A STRIKE YOU ASSHOLE UMPS
Daniel Roberts
>'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.
Angel Turner
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
James Turner
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.
Gavin Martin
Pepe is a saint, he has more of a right to be here then you do
