First game of a 5 game series between what is currently the top two teams in MLB. So of course they're going to be on the least watched channels possible. MAS2 and CSN+. Hope you can find a stream.
It also marks Dusty Baker's return to the Friendly Confines to fight against the team he once managed before being run out of town.
What will happen? Nobody knows more than more people will be at attendance at Wrigely then US Cellular.
Suck it Who.
Bullpen day for the cubs
MAYMAY
Let's go cubes!
murphy-senpai pls mercy

>he doesn't have mlbtv
any good mobile streams senpai?
Cubs sweep.
>>67373783
Do u make incone from cub or sox tix sales???
Ottoman humor... Hasnt witnessed World Series championship, talks about attendance... Because being around tourist traps is so fun...
Should be a good series lads. Although I fully expect Hendricks to shit the bed tonight.
>>67373970
That Ottomon humor brings in 3 times as many fans. Clearly this is all the prove you need to show that the Cubs are Chicago's team.
>>67373979
Hendricks is a really good pitcher senpai. He's 1-0 against the Nats with a 2.35 in 2 starts.
>>67374005
Chicagos meme team perhaps
>>67373970
The Cubs are Chicago's team. More people have talked about the lifeless Cubs nationwide than your Sox since 2005. Sorry.
Anyway LETS GO NATS
>>67374083
They can be the more popular team all they want, won't make them any less pathetic
>>67374008
>really good pitcher
Tad too far there. Im a cubs fan ftr.
But he's a typical 5th starter
So what think?
Preview of the NLCS?
Cubs / Nats wrap their series before the all star break so should be some good drama second half of the season.
>kalish over baez
why
>>67374136
Im ok with this
He will come off the bench by the 5th
>Taylor still in the lineup

If he keeps painting like this though I'm happy
Not even done with the 1st inning and this thread is already shitted up, thanks guys
Kyle always has a funny look on his face
>>67374008
>>67374118
>>67374315
Hendricks Lamar has shown flashes, and to me he's a step above a typical #5 guy
but so far this season has not been pretty
why is it so cold
>>67374328
>Shitted up
>He doesn't like banter.
Get out fagget
Remember if Dexter Fowler gets a lead off walk the Cubs will donate $100 to Walgreens and a Santo in heaven gets his legs.
>>67374334
Thats fair, but its the fact that you dont know if its going to be a 5inning bullpen day kyle or 7innings of decent ball.. but yeah i agree a good 5th guy to have

>>67374118
Hendricks was a top 30 pitcher in baseball last year senpai. Look it up.
Dubs and the Nats put up a crooked numer next inning
GoN ats
>>67374547
>top 30=really good pitcher
Difference of what you want to call it ok. I like the guy and i think he is a good 5th starter
fucking dumbass Trump-voting hick tourist suburban Cubs fans riding the L to Addison today, shoved their way onto a packed train at rush hour and loudly declared in their hillbilly small-town Illinois accent "HOW FARRR IS ADDISON? I THOUGHT IT WAS THA NEXT STAWWP HURHUEHUHHURHU"
fuck Cubs fans
>>67374668
Eroneous generalization fag.
>>67374668
good post faggot
>>67374663
I think hes a good 5th starter too but his stats dont lie. Statistically he was one of the 30 best pitchers in baseball ladt season.
>>67374668
PS: The only thing that brought me any joy from that red line ride was when a big black guy had to get off the train and walked right up behind one of the fat ugly white cubs fans and you could see how uncomfortable she felt, she was literally squirming because a black person was too close to her on the train
In Chicago.

Nats fans, Is Joe Ross legit or is he just memeing? I know he has that nasty slider like his brother but im unfamiliar with him.

Why did murphy make that routine play look so weird
>>67374862
who could be behind this....
>>67374893
He's attacking the strikezone really well against the Cubs lineup. Impressive. No other pitcher has really done that against us this year.
>>67374956
the offense is shit at home
>>67374857
he's more than legit desu. he can hit to, watch out
>>67374977
It'll pick up. They've only played like 10 games at home so far.

Where is Kawasaki? Why don't they call him up
>>67375912
because hes a gook manlet who is a subpar mlb player
I'm not a fan of them letting Ron Coomer take over a bit during broadcasts.
He's not that good.
>>67375912
pretty sure Joe just wants to keep people fresh. It's only May. same reason he called up a back-up Fedora-wicz instead of Contreras. If it was the playoffs, Kawasaki and Contreras would be up here instead.

nothing I said was incorrect
fuck off weeb
>>67376043
>Weeb
project much? he was one the best hitters in camp and Maddon said the only reason he wasn't up to start the season was because of too much depth.
but I realize you're just here to /pol/troll and you don't actually know anything about baseball so carry on
>>67376043
actually literally nothing you said was correct
>>67376123
still a gook manlet though
>>67376123
in fairness, only outfielders are getting hurt so it makes sense he hasn't been called up

George Will's birthday was yesterday
>>67376019
Whenever a dinger or something exciting happens, Coomer can hardly express how exciting the play is. I rely on the sounds coming from the audience to know what's happening.
Ron Santo was really fantastic though..... ;__;
>beaning the pitcher
Ross tried to kill him!
>>67376216
I was never a fan of Ron Santo as a broadcaster but his obvious excitement WAS pretty infectious.
Thaaaaat seemed like a revenge hit.
>All these inside pitches at Hayward
Ross is out for blood.
>>67376266
It was a slider that got away. No intent there.
Heyward still shit I see
>>67376264
kind of upset ron doesnt get to see the team now. dont think anyone liked the cubs more than him
>>67376209
who gives a shit
>>67376363
They were showing George will in the audience. They said it was his birthday today, but it was yesterday
>>67376429
Isn't George Will some chicken shit war hawk who weaseled out of fighting in Nam?
>>67376429
you some kinda newspaper reader?
>>67376264
>his obvious excitement WAS pretty infectious
It certainly was
>>67376429
The only good thing's George Will ever has to say are baseball related. My favorite:
>I grew up in a town in southern Illinois, and you were either a Cubs fan or a Cardinals fan. All my friends were Cardinals fans and grew up happy and liberal, but I was a Cubs fan and so grew up embittered and conservative.

Hendricks has been really good tonight. Cubs should just give him 8 days of rest between starts every time.
>>67376567
>look mom, I'm being racist on the internet!
>>67376551
>>67376567
I just refuse to use spellcheck or proof read. And you can't do anything about it.
>>67376583
I was positively suprised by his performance, hope he can keep it up.
Now to pray the 7th inning reliever holds on for Strop-Rondon to kill the game.
>>67376588
>>67376123
>>67376016
this is a white mans thead
>>67376620
Yeah it shows that when he keeps the ball down and hits his spots he's pretty effective.
That was a really good catch.
>>67376649 was meant for >>67376624
dont shit the bed clayton
alright now
lets have harry do about 70 of these a year
7th inning tits time.
You think they just use videos of Harry singing it when he's totally smashed?
>>67376945
Do you prefer the shitty guests who don't know the words?

no, thats why I was advocating for harry caray

Singles for a Hayward fly out.

Ha ha
Time for strope to shit the bed and finally be demoted.
>>67377379
I can't believe I drafted him in fantasy
great start pedro
strop being a fucking faggot
>>67376624
>Now to pray the 7th inning reliever holds on for Strop-Rondon to kill the game.
self-fulfilling prophecy
I will never trust strop or rondon
Tell me Madden's going to pull this fucker if Strop gives up another walk or hit.
>MICHAEL A TAYLOR
BASED DOUBLE PLAY
Stop thanking god Strop, and start thanking your infielders.
Why does strop have to always give us a heart attack everytime he comes to the mound.
wew
>>67377546
I actually meant it as in finish it off.
But this works too. Was gonna have a heart attack when he kept pitching balls tho.
>>67377667
I mean come on, it gets a little dry blowing people out. Strop's our wild card, Fuckin charlie day of the team
>>67377667
Because someone has to be an insufferable faggot in pitching every game.
You had Arrieta give up 2 walks on the first two batters at the start of the game. And Lester pitching to load the bases with no outs two days ago.
>>67377681
Are you actually in Sweden?
I've seen this flag in plenty of gamethreads so it's either that or a damn dedicated proxy
>>67377742
Yeah, 4:30 AM here atm. Been in the threads for about 2 years now.
>>67377780
Are you Swedish or an expat?
If the former, how did you into baseball?
>>67377780
Respect for that
>37,568 attending today.
Pretty good for a Thursday night game
man imagine when KB and Heyward stop sucking
>>67377880
uhh do you watch? KB is not sucking. hes always going strike out alot
>>67377806
I'm swedish. I bandwagoned the bulls in 98-99 (tough luck eh?) and when I went to Chicago a few years later I adopted the Cubs and Bears. Didnt pick the Blackhawks because I have a local hockey/football team.
Turned out that baseball is pretty fun to watch.

Nice
>Hogwashington "defense"
>>67377911
which is fine if you're hitting home runs occasionally. Only 4 on the season and outside of one two-homer game (one of which was a grand slam), he only has 11 RBIs on the entire season.
>>67378095
He's getting on base and getting driven in. I wouldn't call that sucking.
>>67378095
Weather hasn't really favored home runs in Wrigley yet .. They'll come.
>>67378138
This, wind usually blows to the infield so a lot of homeruns get robbed by the wind.
>>67378095
he just missed one yesterday and one today
he'll end up around 30
