Am I the only one who thinks maddon is memeing too hard having zobrist bat 3rd..?
>>66829014
Memes worked for the Royals. It'll work for the Cubs.
>>66829014
I don't mind, get those high OBP guys to set the table for Riz and Bry (who are high OBP guys themselves)
Joe's the kinda guy who can break the tradition of batting power #3
Hamilton BTFO at first base
I got upper deck behind home plate tickets for this Saturday's game for just $30. I'll be sporting my new Wsox pullover.
>it's another Birry Hamilton TOOTBLAN episode
>>66829168
For that price you could have gotten season tix to see the whos
>>66829168
best seats desu, but $30 dollars isn't that cheap for upper deck
What's the baseball equivalent for refball?
>>66829168
you madman
>>66829483
umpball
>>66829168
For $30 you could be sitting directly behind Home Plate at the White Cocks.
Anyone got an radio feed or stream?
I hate whoever designs the Reds' unis. It's the single oldest pro sports team in America, with the classic cream/crimson palette to work with. What do they do with it? Completely unremarkable greys, gimmicky black brims, and HARDLY ANY RED! Were I the manager, I'd put in place some sort of decorum for one, all players wear stirrups and display the namesake red stockings.
another tall summabitch cubs pitcher
>>66829544
Could be worse.
Could have Dbacks style uniforms.
>>66829483
Most of the time it's incompetence and not bias towards another team like it is in the NBA and NFL. Double so since they introduced challenges.

I like Rizzo and all, but why does his walk up music have to be so faggy?
>>66829747
Castro used the same music last season and Rizzo is using it this season to honor him

That's not Castro's walk up tune
>>66829802
I was referring to all his walk up songs past and present.
>>66829802
that was just for one PA, he hasn't used it since
>bulls
Anyone else still hurting?
>>66830037
The pain is only going to get worse as long as the kike owner, Gar, Pax, and their bitchboy hoiberg are still around.
Is this the song in question?

>whiffing on a bunt
>>66829168
I'll be at that game too, outfield bleachers, probably left field
Heyward has been a moderate disappointment so far
>>66830314
he has a bad april every year
that was shit anthony
>>66830314
No one besides Fowler and Montero have really hit all that well, they have just taken a shit ton of walks.
Go reds, but I'll be damned the Cubs look like a different, inherently superior baseball team this season
>Bryant
Horrid steal attempt desu
How we gonna fuck this one up boys

Better hitter: Hammel or Arrieta?
And people say pitchers can't hit.

He's done very well in clutch situations. He's the master of small ball. You gotta keep in mind, this is a big black dood. Their bodies don't respond well in the cold.

Is baseball the least biased league?
>>66831765
I think maybe hockey
The order in my mind at least would be
Hockey > Baseball >football > ape hoop
in terms of bias
>>66831765
One of them. The only real big thing is the strike zone.
>Attempting the wave
Kick those pieces of shit out
>>66830314
>>66831404
he's made some good defensive plays as well
>>66831791
Yea jungle boogie ball games can literally be controlled by the refs. It's the only reason how GSW beat the bulls record.
>>66831791
>furpuck fan doesn't like basketball
what a surprise
>>66831900
Not him but I like basketball more but the officiating is so much better in hockey.
>>66831940
hockey is an unwatchable, chaotic mess of a sport
>>66831900
Not him, but I hate basketball. There is no defense, its just running back and forth. College basketball is a bit better, but the stars in the NBA get babied and special treatment. It's ridiculous.
>Tucker Barnhart and the Barnstormers
Why is this Cubs defense so great?
Based Harry singing the stretch tonight
>>66832277
Acquiring Zobrist and Heyward also boosted Cubs defense. Bryant, Rizzo and Russell may become gold glovers.
>>66832315
whO?
I'm not such a fan of the whole dead people on the videoboard thing
>The Cubs are fucking WINNING
>Harry doesn't shout "let's get some runs" at the end of it
>This is one of the only times I can remember somebody actually following this rule
Why is this so hard to do, everyone else who sings the stretch?
>>66832396
Guy on the left senpai
This ump has a pretty generous strike zone
YEAH ADDY!
Hoover seems to want to make a strong case for sending him to the minors.

Leave him in, let him earn more runs. If these pitchers are going to suck, let them suck hard and ruin their career ERA. The game was lost already, so just leave them in until they can get the third out.
