This fat mother fucker couldn’t lay off the food in the off season and now we have a 1st round bust.

wake up steak boy

>Willy about to go Bo Jackson on his bat before prudently choosing to slam it into the ground.

The sun proves to be the Sox's greatest foe.
2-0

3-0*

God ST games are so boring

finally

>Another lead off walk.
I wonder if Lester is sorta doing it on purpose to give Contreras practice at holding the runner at first.

jesus christ fulmer

not danish bad at least yet

I seriously hope he's just experimenting. Otherwise the Sox seriously blew a First Round pick for nothing.

yeah it is ST after all

Nicky onbasemachineeveninspring

well it certainly wouldn't be the first time...
[spoiler]Jared Mitchell[/nospoilerson/sp/oiler]

Thanks for reminding me of him. I honestly thought Davidson was going to be the second coming after the Addison Reed trade.

To be fair, the Who's fielding was a dumpster fire that inning and they should have caught that fly ball into left and Freeman's bullet past that got past Anderson. So realistically, Fulmer should have given up only 1 or 3 at worse.

Feh, Caratini needs to work on his defense at 1st.
4-1.

the animecubsfag is right, nickyd lost the ball in the sun and cordell badly misplayed that "triple". Its not all on Fulmer.

I still want to hold out hope. He pitched pretty well in his short action at the end of last season.

>Respect Bald

>Schwarber walks
Progress!

rack 'em

>Contreras' at bat this game

well so much for that

better luck next time fulmer

hector with the screwball time

Pritzker, Bliss, Kennedy
Place your bets on who's going to be the Governor.

Have you seen someone get arrested while driving while they stop you from moving? I just did in bridgeview. Probably the craziest thing I've ever seen

SON

OF

DAVID

goddammit and I missed it

The ball really is carrying, thought that one and Happ's home run would fall short but they were both no doubters.
4-3

>jb pritzker’s fat ass talking about food

>tfw happ hits 90 hrs and 170 rbis this season

Nice screwball Hector

Cubs pitching has zero depth

Just like last year.

>Ecuador
Tell me about your country. I’m looking for visit and fuck around in a South American country for scuba diving and fun. Is it worth visiting?

Robert in CF

...

So is Burger a bust?

Redemption for Willy
5-3

well he wasnt gonna be before the injury

but something like that is super hard to come back from so maybe yeah...

hey its farquad

>That big ass helmet

No man's land blooper
6-3

Pinch Runners for everyone!

Why would he be

He's getting Jared Mitchell'd

>3-0 count.
>Gets rung up looking.
Damn it Freeman.

Robert coming up

I had forgotten how long baseball games could last for.

Steak is on fire

2 on for Robert!

that works too, assuming salad doesnt ground out into a double play

Great AB!

salad did it? wow

salad is mr spring so far

hope last year was just an anamoly cause of his back

>Maples
6-5

Glad to hear it. I need to follow more games now that baseball is here. I'm still not used to it being back.

Is he your version of vieira? Hes throwing hard stuff and even his sinker is 96 but it seems hes a bit wild

dang gillaspie

Like a vast majority of the Cubs bullpen he's consistently inconsistent.

Ives

Eloy soon.

Eloys not playing today

damn it. I think I misheard Ed then

If I got invited to spring training I think I’d pick either number 69 or 88

88 will forever be Kaner

>leury
sprint training

leury fucking pls

Robert hit!

>furpuck

There's bad salad

it was gonna happen sooner or later

This is one of those afternoon games you just want to lay back and nap while watching the game. But it's a 1 run game so you have to stay up.

rack 'em

RACKEM
