Does Straily have ANY pitch control?
Anyone have a stream?
Local blackouts for this $150 service I pay for are super fun. Thanks MLB!
>>67047814
I use an unblocking site to change my location and watch the games.
>>67047838
Please teach me of your ways, good wizard.
>>67047883
unblock.us
It's like $5 a month but it works with everything and it's easy to use.
>>67047883
I just use the Zenmate extension on Chrome
>>67047814
>Blackouts
These thing still happen?
>>67047904
You've changed my whole world. Eternal thanks, Anon.
>>67047956
Yes, but hopefully not for too much longer. People have actually started taking MLB to court over their bullshit anti-consumer practices.

upper deck dinger
Russell deserved that
That's a dinger.

9000 hours in paint, figured Cubs threads would be needing this all season.

Some more hours on MS paint later...
>>67048761
Derp, forgot pic
>>67048789
Excellent work
Inb4 Lackey no hitter
>>67048819
starting to think think this has more to do with the Resd bats.
>>67048901
Resd offense isnt that bad.
I think they hate St. Louis so much that they are just laying down for the Cubs.
Straily is fucking dominating
Cusb offense confirmed ded
That should do it
>cusb
>baseresding
kek, what did lackey say about "this fucking ballpark"

>>67050999
>tfw Soler and Baez are both busts
>>67051063
Baez is doing well so far
>>67051063
Not quite yet, baez is on the edge though
>>67051063
Baez has been bretty gud since he got called up last year
>>67050999

NO LONGER CO-CHAMPS
> mfw chitcago fans thought the "cubs" would be "good" this "season"
Fuck. Time to overindulge in this
>>67051258
Splitting the series against the Reds away from home really isn't that awful. But going by how the first 5 games against them went, what the fuck happened.
>the city of Chicago
>>67051367
I actually dry heaved a little from seeing that.
What the actual fuck.

Furpuck has no place in this city. Fuck all of them.

Holy shit

Here we go again. I'll hear this from the coasts or the Twin Cities at best, but I'm not hearing this from Cincinnati, a city out of the apocalypse.
>>67052522
> a city out of the apocalypse
lol bro you obviously have no clue what you're talking about. enjoy your sales tax and murder rate
>>67052421
Lived in both places. Non ghetto chicago (most of it) is probably one of the best places to live. Just dont go to the south side
>resd fans doing the wave
And they think they're baseball fans

I can't even feel comfortable with a six run lead in the 8th
WEW lad

bring me back to 2013
bring me back to hope

SUAREZ IS MY VENEZUELAN NIGGA
i got a video of his game-tying homer last year at wrigley. that was actually pretty cool t.b.h. to watch the blackhawks game on those big video boards
GG Reds, kinda thought a game like this was due.
> chicken alfredo tomorrow
BTFO!!
FUCKIN FINALLY
gg cusb
>>67054081
See ya tomorrow bro.
>>67054073
it'd be nice if those cricket countries played baseball. A legit WBC could be fuggin comfy
>>67054592
right? can you imagine a serious, hardcore british baseball fanbase? no other atmosphere would come close. teams promotion and relegation would hinge on one fucking pitch
I'll say this about the Reds, Suarez is gonna be a stud. He is someone to build your LU around with Votto. His D should get better but that bat brehs.
2bh he'll prolly get too expensive for the Reds to keep
nah, he's the kind of homebody that a GM inherits...like pujols or arod (not quite on that power level tho)
