Is buying MLB.tv worth it?
I've been missing Cubs games since I moved to Minnesota, and I'm never quite satisfied with streams.
>>68744450
if you're out of market it probably is worth having
here's something strange, PITCHf/x didn't pick up the very first pitch of the game
Already way too many pitches for Lackey 2bh
Anyone in the military want to help me pretend to be in the military to get a 35% MLB.tv discount?
I asked my sister to try to get the student discount, but she didn't respond.
Can't probe the zobe
Heyward's new strategy to avoid double plays: don't hit the ball past the mound

Lack is shit today
Lackey's control is off
maybe he shouldn't wait 15 seconds between each pitch.
>lackey
gonna have to breakout yesterday's playbook, that is if we ever make it to the bottom of the inning
everyone's due for a bad game, it was going to happen. but this is just embarrassing.
unwatchable. 40 minutes into the game and we're still not out of the second.
It's crazy seeing all these new guys on the cubs.
>>68745561
6 Cubs hit homers vs the Cardinals at Wrigley in game 3 of the NLDS
2 of them are in the lineup
3 of them are on the DL
1 of them is no longer on the team
fuck what a garbage game. easy flyouts and their second worst pitcher is on a 12 pitch/inning pace against what is one of our best offensive lineups.
>>68745723
top of the order due up in the bottom of the inning, just gotta hit the reset button
now Lackey needs to stop shitting himself
>>68745760
so much for that
>>68745779
Is Cahill warming up yet?
>>68745818
If we're going to lose anyway, might as well use Richards for the last 6 innings.
>>68745889
>3 run lead
>insurmountable
>>68745922
3 run defect I suppose I mean
Big inning here. Check em.
Cardinals game plan:
1. Get 3 Obese men to hit homers
2. ???
3. Profit
>>68745963
Kek doesn't will it. Sorry cubes
>tfw Bryant
>>68746060
Just got home, I know the Cubbies are losing but besides that how are they doing today?
Contreras confirmed goat.
Rip miggy.
>>68746115
Lackey's been a complete dumpster fire.
>>68746115
Lackey is dog shit today, and the offense was quite the first time through the order but have showed life the second time though the order
> x finity turn back time commercial
Defense is sharp today
>>68746148
>>68746155
The guy is good but I've never been a fan of him so I never expect great games when he is at the mound
>>68746206
that is one sexy old dude tho
>>68746206
>>68746301
that's Jon Bon Jovi
>only know it cause dad pointed it out at fathers' day yesterday
>>68746301
> old dude
Y....you don't kn...know who t...that is?
/sp/ who here /spicyfood/. It's my ultimate curse. I eat spicy then my asshole burns like fucking hell when I shit.
Is JD autistic? Still love the guy. And Len too.
>>68746533
JD just has good bantz and has dad jokes. Probably not autism.
>>68746533
Nah man, JD is cool. Dad jokes galore and him and Len make the games extra comfy.
>>68746461
I have eaten plenty of spicy food and never had butt fire.
>>68746615
and damn I wish I could have spicy food right now. I've had horrible reflux lately and even oatmeal causes discomfort.
nah JD has autism and len is lame
cm punk and dempster soon
>>68746614
The comfiest announcers in the game.
>>68746648
You shut your whore mouth
Fuck you Garcia
rizzo bomb now
Fuck you you stinky cunt. Do you know how to throw an intentional bean ball? You don't throw it at their head retard.
>>68746648
Cm punk is a sox fan
>>68746749
you do if your whole family is about to get deported
>>68746762
if he was, he hasn't been for a year. maybe he's one of those go-between bandwagoners like John Cusack.
>>68746793
Cm punk went to highschool with my cousin. He's as south side as they get. Don't even let him fool you.
>>68746807
well he tweets about the Cubs constantly, and never mentions the Sox.
>>68746793
>John Cusack
>Cusack
>Cu-sa-ck
>John's a Cuck
Bandwagonning celebrities are trash.
>>68746807
>>68746852
>>68746793
Cusack is from evanston. Solid north sider
>>68746871
He's a fucking faker!!!
>>68746877
>"I'm a fan of both teams," Cusack said. "I grew up loving the Cubs and the Sox. I'm not sorry, I won't apologize for it. I'm just a fan of Chicago baseball."
>Cusack didn't seem to have trouble with that decision until recently. He openly supported the White Sox during the team's postseason run in 2000 after he had filmed a movie called "Eight Men Out" in 1988, which was about the 1919 Black Sox scandal.
tldr he's a bandwagoner of whichever team is good. He was even wearing Sox caps in movies after they won the world series.
>>68746762
>>68746807
delet
>>68746955
I always have to remember he's not a Yankees fan. That's what movies will do to you when you're a kid.
I dont want to see Joe memeing it up when we're losing
who would win a wrestling match, Peralta or Cahill?
>>68747183
For some reason Maddon likes to do this. I guess you can't have him without it
how the fuck do you strike out looking on a 88mph fastball right down the middle
Now would be a good time for a homer from the Zobe
>>68746955
all I know about the Sox right now is that they were playing really well and then started losing.
Will it happen to the Cubs fampai?
Shitty pop ups: the game.
>>68747414
Nah. The Sox needed like 10 things to go right every game to sustain that win streak. They never really had a 5th SP and everyone knew Latos was going to collapse as he eventually did.
The Cubs still haven't even come close to their offensive potential.
Contrerass seems super hyper behind the plate
We don't need to trade for Miller, we just need to use Cahill and Wood more, and Richard, Grimm, and Warren less
dubbles 4 big inning
>>68747748
I think you meant quads
Rizzo single... setting it up for Contreras to do something heroic?
>>68747782
I NEED A HERO
>>68747781
No i mean trips
>>68747829
As in 3 8's?
>>68747782
I blame all of you
>>68747748
>>68747781
>>68747829
>>68747875
y tho
>>68747884
Looks like you struck out swinging there.
>>68747944
checked
Let's see if Maddon can meme out the tie run in the bottom of the 9th
>mfw Willson's arm
fucking cannon arm
I do NOT approve, Joe
>>68748142
That was so goddamn sexy it hurts. He almost outran a double play earlier, can slug like a champ, AND throwing out a steal by a mile? I think I'm in love.
Wait... Did I hear Clayton is going to pitch? Please tell me I'm wrong
>>68748174
Richard coming in with an obese slugger pinch hitting? What could go wrong?
FUCKING DFA DICK ALREADY
REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
How the fuck.
CONTRERAS
His eyes got too big.
Holy shit Contreras, where do I buy a jersey?
BIGTIME PLAY
That was all Richard right there
Am i rite
fucking perfect tag, saving Richard's ass
Contreras is having the time of his life
Reality bats last.
>>68748301
He has like 4 highlight plays in the first 2 games of his career. This excites me
dubs for almora first career dinger
Niiiice double!
>>68748393
you mean a strikeout
Albert "don't forget about me" Almora Jr
MEME MAGIC IS REAL
Welcome back, Coghlan.
>gives up a hit
>gets angry
>hits next batter because he was angry about giving up a hit
Nice """"pitcher"""" you got there shit poois
IT BEGINS
IIII....
I FEEL ALIIIIIIIVE...
Why isn't the pitcher thrown out of the game?
Nice baserunning dumb fuck
Oh boy here we go
Holy shit Molina, that's why he's the best. That was fucking crazy.
WTF ALMORA!!!!!!!!!!!!
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
well
Almora you dope
>gidpward
gg
Would've been tied now
It's Heyward time.
>the game lies in the hands of Heyward
>>68748524
dont worry there are already 2 outs
Damn it. C'mon Heyward don't fuck this up
>Gayward
I blame Almora.
Almora may have cost them the game. Hope he gets icyhot in his drawers if they do lose it.
Wow, what a surprise.
>it's 2 outs
Heyward a double agent for the Cardinals this year
Fuck you Gaymora.
if almora had just stayed.
>>68748553
>>68748557
should have been an easy steal but it hit the umpire's leg, bullshit cardinal luck
also fuck heyward, what a complete faggot
>>68748602
That's true
Cubs are never fucking lucky, if it didn't hit the ump it would have been an easy base.
It should be a rule that it's a dead ball if the ump get hit by a pitch
Umps should just stay the fuck out of the way and use spotting scopes to see the shit.
If only there was a 2nd Base Coach to put the breaks on speedy gonzalezes.
>>68748658
That ball is at the backstop if the ump fucking moved. It was a good play by Almora, just unlucky as usual.
I can only imagine what the Cubs record would be if luck was on their side instead of completely against it. 60-8?
I blame myself. I had to trim my beard today. This always fucking happens.
>>68748714
Well, what's their pythagorean at this point?
>>68748743
51-16
>>68748714
If they were always lucky, Schwarber would still be playing, giving >us at least 5 more wins
And then there are losses like this that could have been avoided
And then when Rondon struck out Harper twice at the same at bat during the Nationals series but really "walked" him and he scored is another example of shit luck that cost them a win
Today was a good day.
>shitcucko cubes
my fukn sides
Sup cunts, I've decided I might watch your sport
Tell me which team I should support and why I should support them and I'll consider your thoughts.
Thanks.
