Let's play t [ W ] o
good luck dads. hoping for a good game.
am i in the right thread?
>>67506832
are you?
Who /ReadyForBaseballAllDay/ here?
I'm feeling pretty comfy to be honest lads
this is a dubs thread by default
>>67506839
here f am
>>67506839
Doubleheaders are so based, all day baseball ftw
can go 4-4 but can't hold on to the ball
>>67506841
shouldn't game 2 be the dubs thread?
Damn Baez, you better hit a dinger later
well this is starting poorly
Baez what are you doing
Does anyone have an acestream?
>cubes
>gameday says in play, no out
>run scored
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
WTF?!?!
This start isn't helping my hangover
>hendricks has already given up 2 runs
Can we please trade for Jose Fernendez or sign Tim Lincecum?
>>67506915
oh god why would you want lincecum
>>67506915
It was all the fielders' fault
Man I would love a double play right now
>>67506899
yes
this is happening cause soler is in the lineup.
cringe worthy commercials are cringe worthy
>awful defense to begin the inning
>gold glove defense to end it
I guess it's only two runs.
I am a brick and I believe. dubs confirmed
lead off zobrist is based
>dat dugout
NOBODY BEATS THE RIZZ
can Soler do something
>soler
Fuckin' kill me.
>>67507179
he just swings at fucking everything
>Baez
Fuckin' kill me.
>>67507214
Soler is fucking terrible. He is a strike out machine. No plate discipline.
>>67507245
Should trade him + other minor league scrubs people think will be good for Mike Trout.
>>67507209
What the fuck is this....?
Soler will heat up during the summer. People need to chill the fuck out.
>>67507253
Apparently, it's a rare rizzo
>>67507252
.......This is the most retarded post ive seen in ages
>>67507252
he has no trade value
>>67507267
swede bro ive been hearing this story the day they tried soler out in the majors. He will never pan out.
Nice second inning from Hendricks
>>67507337
He has a few months on him to find some discipline, I'll trust in him until then. When he is in his zone he is ridiculously good, like in the playoffs before we played the mest.
FUCKING RUN HARD OUT OF THE BOX
i could've beaten that throw
Holy shit BASED Zobrist
BASED ZOBRIST TIES THE GAME
Zobrist is a monster
how can one man be so based?
ya blew it
did heyward really just strike out
>gayward
does anyone know a centralized place where i can see any articles written about the cubs? like an app or something? i can usually find any new articles but i always feel like I might be missing some
BASED RUSSELL
uneventful game. where's my dingers
>>67508160
i type as russell hits another one into the right field corner
>>67506738
Am I being delusional or is javy actually probably going to be a everyday player?
>>67508160
>needing dingers for it to be a good game
Choo Choo motherfuckers run train keeps chugging along
>>67508160
Go back to the babby league you AL fag.
Does this run machine ever turn off? I hope not
>>67508184
It's possible. For me, ideally, it goes
LF: KB
CF: Fowler
RF: Heyward (assuming he starts hitting)
3B: Baez
SS: Rusell
2B: Zorilla
1B: Rizzo
C: Ross/Montero
Heyward can't even score a run from 3rd less than two outs... How long is his contract again?
fuck...
>>67508280
Assuming he keeps it up he will be about the best bench player in the league then next year
Nice catch faggot. Get a haircut.
>>67508378
It's possible. I'd like to see La Stella get some more playing time. He's been raking and he always seems really intense at the plate.
>>67507813
24/7 wrigley
>>67508435
I agree
It's nice having too many good players and not enough at bats for them. Can't say I remember that problem before
>>67508479
I'd like to see La Stella batting leadoff a little more. Maybe he can DH when they play in AL parks.
>>67508443
I don't have an iPhone, but I looked that up on the play store and found something similar. Thanks.
should have multiple dingers today
Oh wow soler got a hit. Unreal.
>soler
>swinging on 3-0
What the fuck is going on!!!!!!
>>67508632
Cubes are winning 4-2 is what's happening senpai
>Baez
>Fowling off ball 3
>>67508660
Meant about soler getting a hit. Damn i got scared a bit
wew
this is bullshit, we should have like 8 runs
>>67508768
>expecting the back up back up ctcher and the pitcher to do anything
>>67508791
I meant the defensive plays
>>67508791
>not expecting them to do anything.
Hendricks is the most underrated pitcher on the cubes
>>67508854
Idk people have been shutting on Grimm a lot and he's good
How many teams has Villanueva played for now?
>Villanueva
Smugfrog.jpg
>>67508917
Grimm throws hard but has no movement on his fastball so is susceptible to getting knocked around
>>67508955
Kyle Farnsworth part 2
I'm not autistic, just bored
>>67508982
>>>67508955
his Era last year was under 2 last year he's pretty good
>>67509006
This is gold
>>67509006
Saved
>>67509006
Literally straight from reddit
>>67509104
no. but i'm not proud of it
>>67509031
Farnsworth had a few meme stretches
Goddamn Hendricks has been filthy today
>>67509218
idk he looks pretty clean and neat to me. you don't think he showers every day?
And Maddon is gonna be a faggot and pull him >:(
he had +100 pitches...
>>67509310
And?
>>67509342
well now it looks silly
Dont be a cunt pedro
Should have kept Henrdricks in.
>>67509478
Always easier in hindsight
>>67509520
I was saying that before Strop even threw a pitch.
FUCK
GODDAMMIT STROP REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
FUCKING STROP REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
do pitchers actually unironically give up homers with 2 outs? For what purpose?
Wallace Smash!
>2 outs
>no one on
>bunt hit
>4 runs
bullpen is trash
Well fellas looks like its over now. We had a good run.
>>67509588
Didn't know Padres fans were real
Strop shit the bed
KILL STROP
>>67509713
Fuck off faggot
this is fucking ridiculous. strop DFA when
I went to take a shit after the 6th inning. I get back and it's 6-4 Padres. What the fuck happened lads?
>>67509729
You fuck off, I'm allowed to be pissed off at Strop
>Neil "kneels down for his meals" Ramirez
I still don't have a clue if ramirez is good or not again but I'm leaning towards yes
wheres that 7th inning stretch hater
>>67509520
not really, he was hot and taking him out was a knee-jerk reaction to walking one guy.
>>67509881
Right here. Already muted my TV.
>>67509749
there were literally 2 outs and nobody on, then some fag on the Padres got a bunt hit, Joe took Hendricks out and they scored 4 goddamn runs
>>67509755
Soz mate just crying right now
>>67509520
>Letting strope pitch
I'd rather have a SP who has a 120 pitch count stay in than let that inconsistent fuck pitch.
Seriously, why is he not back in the minors?
>>67509911
fuck you
>>67509749
tldr, Maddon tried to meme around in the 7th again like he did yesterday when near-perfect Hendricks was literally a couple of pitches away from getting out of the inning. replaced him with strop who proceeded to throw 500 balls and give up 4 runs.
Why the ever loving fuck can the Cubs not hit home runs?
is that fog?
>>67509917
Because he is really good once in a while and we don't have anyone better
>>67509974
it's better than last year when >we could only hit home runs
>>67509981
No its white phosphorus
THE CUBES HAVE BEEN CUBE'D
>>67509983
>Because he is really good once in a while
I'd rather have someone who's only options aren't 'really good' or 'completely shits the bed'
>tfw Chicagoan
>tfw on the red line home
>tfw pass by Addison and see the lights, reminding me the Cubs are playing
>tfw discover they're losing
Now I have to sit next to some fat whore who smells like piss
And now the ump starts being terrible
>McDonalds forcing the meme that black people have padres
>>67510045
Get Theo on the because we don't have that guy right now
>>67510150
Rondon
Lets just pitch him 3 innings every game
>>67510150
How the fuck did they not go to get relievers that don't suck complete dick after what happened last year?
>>67510236
what are you talking about, our relievers were fine last year for the most part. some of them have regressed badly (Cahill and Wood), but starting rotation was a much bigger concern, hence Lackey. And we got Warren who is pretty good.
Joe is making his bullpen look bad with retarded 7th inning managing these past two games.
Rosales that smug fuck
>>67510045
relievers are volatile man, accept that
look at the big picture
Do these fucks know how to pitch strikes?
there goes the winning streak, courtesy of the bullpen.
they better blow them the fuck out in game 2
just throw an 88 mph meatball up the middle and give up a grand slam so our relievers can stop faking that they give a shit.
>>67510341
They shouldn't be, if a Starter can go 5+ innings and do a good job, why can't a reliever do that when he only has to cover 1 inning?
>>67508948
'member this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAv5R3SOQUw
>>67510375
Its not over yet neil just found himself about to enter godmode
>>67510386
Because he would be a starter if he could do that
If we can get out of this jam they gotta fuck with Fowler Zobrist Heyward Bryant Rizzo.
this game is lost. Not gonna come back in 2 innings with no Fowler or LaStella and "Free Out" Fedora hitting.
>>67510388
Yeah lel
Highlight of his cubs career
>>67510417
Then find people with starter talent who can be a reliever.
>>67510417
this. 99% of relievers are literally just failed starters.
>>67510452
Those people already have jobs on other teams that don't want them to leave
Shouldn't that be an out?
>>67510426
fedorowicz batted last inning.
>>67510386
A starter can give up 3 runs in a 6 inning start and be fine
A reliever can give up one 3 run inning every 6 appearances (assuming an inning per appearance) and people get pissed off
>>67509006
10/10 my friend
>>67510421
Im just hoping for a split after this...
Thanks mr J
WELP
>>67510517
Because if you're pitching one inning, it's assumed you're not going to be tired and properly warmed up to have full control over your pitches.
What strop did was inexcusable in giving up all those walks and the home run and not even getting a single out.
Thankies based fowler
How will Heyward fuck this up?
Thanks based zob
>>67510589
>muh tiredness
shit excuse, what if a pitcher gives a 3 runs in the first, then throws 5 scoreless
How about relievers pitch 3-5 times per week, compared to starts only 1-2
starters only pitch every 5 days, relievers can pitch back to back days (like Strop today)
yes Strop pitched poorly today, but big picture he's been on of the top relievers in the game this year
heyward's going to ground into a double play or something as he usually does
DO SOMETHING JASON
Hayward going to hit into a double play. Because he's a total bust.
what a crap strikeout desu
What an absolute joke
>>67510709
>>67510716
he just saved multiple runs with that catch to end the top of the inning
he's been plenty valuable on defense alone (and the hitting will come)
one hundred and eighty million united states dollars
Heyward striking out was the best scenario there
Rizzo Game tying homer dubs confirmed
why would we burn Rondon on a blatant loss? use Wood or someone who's going to suck anyway.
oh well
>>67510773
go to bed Jason, you don't pay a fifth of a billion $ to a position player to not hit.
>>67510851
this, the only reason heyshit gets to see the fields is cause, muh large contract.
imagine how this offense will look when any of Soler, Heyward or Bryant start producing.
>>67510890
Bryant has been excellent
GET THAT JAP FROM THE MINORS UP HERE; HEYNIGGER NEEDS TO GET THE FUCK OUT, WE ALREADY HAVE DEXTER WHO KNOWS HOW TO HIT
Oh well,
there's always game two.
>>67510851
>>67510882
no he's not living up to the contract so far, but he's worth starting because of his defense
>>67510890
bryant has only been bad the last couple days
>>67510956
'no'
He fucks up more run scoring opportunities then runs he saves from good plays.
>>67510703
>Comparing throwing 15 pitches to 100 pitches
No comparison, if your arm is sore after 15 pitches and you suck the next day, something is wrong with you.
>''Strop Pitched Poorly Today'
>Needs to get only 1 out
>Gives up only walks and 4 runs
That's the understatement of the year
>>67510851
Then move his ass to the bottom of the order. Unless he's going to be an exclusive sacrifice bunter for Fowler.
Time to get to praying boys. Gonna sweep the shit outta them boys
>>67511005
>Illinois flag
for what purpose
>>67510956
no, he's worth starting because people have Sunk Cost Fallacy. If it weren't for that, we'd be starting LaStella at 3rd and Baez at RF.
>>67511029
because i was born here u got a problem with that bitch
I actually passed by Wrigley on my way home from school today

>>67510064
>>67511005
Smoking the ports. Nice
>>67510995
>Then move his ass to the bottom of the order.
Joe doesn't seem to want to. Problem is he's such a black hole, you weaken the order wherever you put him.
>>67511064
wouldn't zobrist in RF and La Stella at 2B make more sense?
>>67511070
Yes that's right. Defending Illinois is worth all that.
How's the budget coming along?
rip
This is lose is all on Strope.
Hope he dies in a fire
>>67511064
No.
3B Baez
LF bryant
RF benny
CF fowler
SS russel
2B La stella
>>67511126
Knock it off. Its one lousy outing. He'll be fine.
>>67511111
I remember hearing that both Joe and Zobrist prefer to use him as in infielder.
also nice quints.
fuck pedro strop. gg dads. see you tonight.
>>67511089
I swear I'm not a nigger
>>67511116
Going pretty good I was finally able to afford to give ur mom the son she never had, say hi to ur new baby brother for me
>>67511126
No, it's Maddon's fault for taking out Hendricks when he was on top of his game.
>>67511152
Not on this historic run. Purge the failures like strope and heyward.
>>67511167
>It was maddon's fault that Strope could only walk pitchers and gave up a home run
>>67511167
this.
>kneejerk take out Hendricks after ONE walk when he was embarrassing the Padres all day
>let Strop walk 3 guys, give up a 3 run homer, then throw 6 more pitches before taking him out.
>>67511167
>maddon's fault for strope being a shitter
Strope internet defense force please leave
>>67511224
It wasnt a walk it was a bunt hit.
Still agree tho
Don't worry.
They'll get them on game 2
>>67511240
not a Strop defender, but he didn't keep himself in the game through that 28 pitch disaster (which he STILL didn't get the out).
>all these raging bandwagoners calling for strop's head
he has those bloopers occasionally but overall he is still the best man for the 7th/8th inning.
>>67511163
Just iron that rag at least. And hope this state gets it's head out of it's collective ass.
>>67511340
this, that one guy can't even spell his name
