Glad I can watch some Cubs tonight.
>>67787719

Why not just go the other way?
>>67787738
Because my name isn't Anthony Rizzo
>>67787719

>baseball IQ so low that you're incapable of going the other way

hey man my name is bill and i just want to say that the giants are not very good! well see you on the boards man haha!
>crossfire crossfire crossfire
holy shit shut up
Anyone else just want to shoot ESPN for emphasizing "Even Year" as the descriptor for the Giants?
God dammit bumgarner
What the fuck mang
Bumgarner just blew his nose on the mound. Disgusting.
>>67787738
Jintsfags always go the other way
>not a better hitter with RISP on the cubs than Russel
kek
>>67787851
It's only a number.
>>67787851
crossfire thing is more annoying, but yes
some thing with "the curse" the two laziest storylines
We are legion.

great play by Bryzzo
>>67788144
They're already playing pretty much as good as they can
This isn't like me shitting on them or nothing just... how do they improve?
a guy hits more? even the bad guys in their lineup are hitting fucking awesome, their defense is pretty decent and their pitching is good
who 'develops' in the cubs lineup
>>67788144
Playing at a better pace than a .707 winning percentage for the rest of the season is though. But I get what you're saying
>>67788200
Soler and Heyward have been pretty underwhelming
>shadow autism
it begins
based grandpa
We get it ESPiN, Bumgrabber a super.
>>67788200
i know they're playing at a high level, but the cubs haven't been flawless so technically there is room for improvement, heyward has struggled as has soler
SLIDE GRANDPA
>>67788325
you are so greedy my man
ESPN should just stick to NBA/NFL, these terms are just gay.
bumgarner has more rings than all lifetime cubs combined
>>67788377
He has more rings than the Chicago Cubs have in their whole history as a team
>>67788377
When did rings even become a thing? I never heard anything about rings until the 90's and that was only Super Bowl rings.
>>67788369
what should the cubs do? be satisfied with mediocrity? shouldn't all teams strive for dominance?
What does crossfire even mean? Is it just a term they use to wank off to Buttgrabber?
>>67788482
>he doesn't know what crossfire means
there are people this stupid that exist
>>67788471
In biology the betas often breed better than the alphas who are always too busy fighting each other. Why risk injuries by overreaching when working just hard enough to maintain .500 + can still get you in the playoffs?
Can Arrieta be any more based than he is?

That's the one I always use, but it's failing to load. I've been getting nothing but white screens since yesterday.
>>67788714
Listening on radio.
What did he say?
>>67788769
Just saying that his timing was off in the first inning. Nothing serious, just pretty douchy to be discussing a player on another team's mechanics
>>67788814
Ahh. Are you using noscript becsuse i think the source stream changed up what needs to be allowed to get it working
>>67788844

>I should have mailed it to the Marx Brothers!
>>67788981
>next play
nope
>>67788978
Not really. I actually like that Arrieta cucked Kershaw out of being the best in the league lately. Bumgarner is just consistently great and isn't going to have these crazy meme seasons and I don't expect him to
>>67788601
true to an extent, but the cubs were the third best team in baseball last year record wise and still had to play a wild card game on the road to make it to the nlds, getting to the playoffs isnt that much of a guarantee, even though it seems like it so far
>all thid cubs wanking and interviews when the giants are the home team and playing bettet as of late
>Pay for MLB.tv because why not
>ESPN blackouts Cubs vs Giants
Fuck you ESPN. Might as well save the $25 a month and continue to stream.
>>67789058
its free on espn
>>67789057
since when are they supposed to favor the home team?
>>67788985

can you not watch espn online then? i guess I just always expected it to be that way.. sorry man..
>>67789058
>paying for MLB.tv
>not having T-Mobile
LOL
>>67789177
You need to use an illegal stream to watch espn since to get espn's own stream you need a cable provider login info
>>67789225
T-Mobile in my area is the absolute fucking worst provider. You cannot get 4G where I am.
>>67789159
>Pay for cable when you can get everything for free with just an internet bill
Way to go faggot I bet you pay for the home package.
>>67789231
When a network really doesn't want you to watch their commercials, something's wrong with the system and you can probably feel better about getting around it.
I'm drunk as fuck today. Go Cubs don't disappoint me
>>67789326

and yet there are people in here begging for streams
I pay for HD on every channel, I pay for convenience
why is this umpire so horrible
What the fuck is with these announcers sucking off the Red Soxs during a Cubs v Giant game?
Also
>woman announcer
>>67789382
You can get HD streams too. Most who beg for streams are retarded.

Dubs Bryce Harper fucked her
>The Mendoza line
Women should literally never be allowed out of the kitchen
>>67789159
Used to be I could watch every game on WGN even though I wasn't in Chicago or even the Midwest. Then MLB consolidated broadcasting rights and started selling games to Comcast, Fox, ESPN because there's people on wall street who don't make enough money. When the Tribune sold the Cubs to the facists WGN couldn't satisfy their greed either so the more than half the games went to local channels I don't get. So I caved and bought MLB.TV around me the same time I dropped cable because fuck those Frontier bastards. I can see most games except where there's a blackout conflict with a local presenter I don't get. All because some asshole has to make jet payments.
>talking about food instead of the baseball game
Fuck you ESPN
i want one of those dammit
Hory sheit Duffman
Great play
>>67789522
You just described every announcer on every format.
Kinda want to try that sandwich senpaitachi
>announcers/commentators eating

I've had the Bumgarner sandwich before
It's very good
>>67789589
Thanks jessica
>>67789570
Also every Chicago-themed thread.
>Len Kasper on the radio
I dig it. We need Kerry Wood soon.
>>67789636
Ryan Dempster would be fuckin based
>>67789615
That's sox fags who shit up every other chicago game thread. But they'd rather talk about food and anime rather than paying to attend the games.
At the game. Are all cubs fans loud mouth idiots?
>>67788464
Rings have been around for years my man.
http://www.worldseriesrings.net/
>>67789656
>not being a fat shit
Fake Chicagoan detected
>>67789570
I still remember that one nba finals game a couple years ago where the comm crew started talking about their leftover dinner from the night before with like half of the fourth to go because the game was such a btfoing
>>67789653
Why not both?
>>67789668
Obviously
>>67789615
There isn't a Cubs game where Len or Jim doesn't show us some hotdog or kielbasa buried under beans and fat from half a pig.
>>67789677
You only bulk up before winter to keep yourself from freezing to death you dumbass. If you want to be a fatass year round, move to Wisconsin.
>>67789679
I remember radio broadcasts, where, every inning, Pat Hughes would help Ron Santo figure out the difference between the shows "The Munsters" and "The Addams Family." Man, baseball is great.
Hendricks is collapsing this inning. I feel it. He just can't keep up with Bumgarner for so long.
>>67789668

Yeah I looked up some rings from the 50's and 60's. They're modeled on college rings so it probably goes back to the 20's. It's just that they didn't become a matter of public concern until we started trading on everything touched by ballers from used towels to their turds.

>>67790243
are you responding to both of my statements
>>67790142
There isn't many latinos available to work at ESPN. Almost of all them can't talk
English or ar to old to work so they have to conform with fucking Ozzy
>>67790318
He's idolized in Chicago, which I don't fucking get. All he did was say asinine shit that made him look "based" to Whos faggots.
Some of the shit he's said over the course of the time is borderline retardation, yet this guy is hailed as a hero.
So glad we have the right management in Chicago for once.
Kruk n Miller saying PUTO on the radio. Geez
>>67790370
Man! Cold nights at AT&T park. Stay warm, friend-o.
>>67790156
Yeah holy shit its annoying, makes you appreciate fox almost
>>67790408
Kruk said "PUT ON a shift for Belt"
what if, though, LOL.
The Giants announcers were the most annoying people in MVP Baseball.
At least the Cubs were ranked 2nd in that game. Vintage Lee and Ramirez was goat. Prior was also pretty based too
>>67790161
>Dogs v Dads game thread
Just looked, there isn't one.
>socasuals
>SOCASUALS
>>67790559
That game was so based. Other than the announcers like you said.
>>67790579
I think the Angels fans on /mlb/ are more committed than the Dodgers fans tbqh senpai
>>67790559
I agree, Krukow especially was like a parody of himself
giants offense has been low key bad past couple weeks despite the winning streak
>>67790559
What about them don't you like?
>>67790559
Zambrano as well.
Based Posey
>>67790647
They just kept echoing the same old cliches and I'd bet they're the exact same way in broadcasts too.
>>67790405
Probably because he won a WS but still I don't like him. Imagine being a latino like myself and have him pushed in your face everytime he's on tv. That's why every time he's on I prefer to watch a stream
>>67790635
That defense has been good though.
>>67790720
What kind of cliches? I don't notice any when I'm listening to them but I've been listening to them my entire life so I might not notice them.
>>67790482
>Hey everybody, look how clear the picture could be if we weren't dimming most of it make a little window in the middle.
>>67790720
You'd lose that bet, my brother. How could you possibly assume a PS2-era game with limited audio storage would contain the sum total of the knowledge and abilities of one of the best announcing crews in the business?

Dog and Dads can't even get 30 replies and less than a dozen unique posters in last night's thread; they didn't even try to make one today.
btw, still playing, 17th inning.
Wow get these shitty umps out of here
No challenge?
WTF?
>>67791183
went out of the 3-foot-wide lane.
Umpire knew he was wrong and that's why he didn't eject Maddon
>>67791146
>$2 for this piece of crap plus a fountain drink
hang out for a while and gulp down a few refills worth of diabetes before coming back
(not even insulting you, I had this same combo last week after not having Taco Bell for almost a year)

>>67791218
No more pay raises. When they strike, flush 'em all and move up the triple-As or hire off the NCAA.
>>67791256
even if it was; he went outside the running lane
>>67791240
Yeah, at first glance I thought he was safe, but now I can see that he could be out. It was close though and could've gone either way really
> only 41 unique posters
Baselines are defined as the point between the runner and the base, not straight lines between the bases. He started running WAY inside the foul line, and went way more than 3 feet trying to dodge that tag.
>>67791285
>outside running lane
>being able to touch the base
>>67791243
at least baja blast is decent
How long has based Marlins man been sitting behind home plate? Just noticed him
>>67791294
>I cannot count
>>67791294
I count 45, nigga!
>>67791307
there's a reason for the parallel lines (3 feet apart) going to first base
>>67791294
"Hi I'm autistic, please give me special treatment MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN MEMES ANIME IS REAL"
>>67791285
His arm and shoulder never left the box but it's probably the feets that count.
Based Rizzo
Get the Mad Faggot out of here
Such language Bumgarner!!
7.08 Any runner is out when—
(a) (1) He runs more than three feet away from his baseline to avoid being tagged unless his action is to avoid interference with a fielder fielding a batted ball. A runner’s baseline is established when the tag attempt occurs and is a straight line from the runner to the base he is attempting to reach safely;
Ump made the correct call. Sad that ESPN can't get announcers that know the rules and now plebs think the ump blew it just because they said so.
>>67791394
If any part of you is in the baseline, you are in the baseline
>pitching a good game
>gets mad
fuck off mad bum!
>>67791398
>feet
feet went wide out before touching the base.
Melky Cabrera got called out the same way before.
Can the Giants get any luckier? The cubs can't get a fucking break

You build a stadium for your team only once every few decades, but you build a team for your stadium every year.

Matt Cain and Bum are elite
Peavy on the other hand
GIANTS HAND CUBS THEIR FIRST CONSECUTIVE ROAD LOSSES
ITT: Giants """""""""fans"""""""""" who follow baseball only during even years and bailing out on the Warriors when that's the team that actually should matter.

More than OKC paid the refs.

>here's $0 for you to follow the rules properly
>>67792038
>bailing out on the Warriors
nope.
there's a stream that archives full basketball game but not baseball. so, i use video downloader when b-balls are scheduled opposite bat- balls.
>>67792018
we'll get btfo then too. This is the beginning of the slump to last place. Expecting anything else is like expecting Mars to dip inside the Earth's orbit.

>don't stay on this bandwagon, hop on the other one instead
>>67792038
Fuck basketball. I've been a Giants fan for as long as I can remember
>>67792038
It's all about the Sharks right now. Giants and Warriors have already won championships.
Nice series Giants, I'm not happy with today's game but nice game
reminder that the cubs swept the giants in 4 games to take them out of contention (essentially) last season
>>67792200
Reminder that the Cubs haven't won a World Series in over a century
>>67792200
Reminder that literally nobody in the universe has ever seen the Cubs win a WS on TV or even heard it happen on a radio broadcast
