>>68779153
Warren is being stretched out as a starter, then they're going with a 6 man rotation
>>68779153
>Richard to DL
best day ever
>>68779393
>6 man rotation
Maddon's memery strikes again
>>68779576
I like it.
Being proactive for the future and getting the guys a lot of rest
>>68779484
gotta rename these now
>Heyward making another basic mistake by not getting to 2nd
>>68779576
nah, the Yankees did that with him last year, that was part of the appeal of trading for him. Extra SP or long reliever in case of an injury.
>>68779735
Probably for CJ Edwards.
>no, I will not call him Carl Edwards Jr.
Same goes for Albert Almora.
Based fucking Maddon memeing it up in this bitch.
>>68779908
>4 man bench
>2 of the 4 are catchers
>>68780294
Javier Baez, Kris Bryant, Ben Zobrist, and Chris Coghlan can literally play any position on the field.
Willson Contreras is a converted catcher. He has lots of experience playing 3B.
Montero is our Lovable Latino.
Ross is our Grandpa.
>>68780406
one of these days Travis Wood is going to be playing left field
>another shitty newsman in the booth
I blame him for that homer
welp this is just a repeat of yesterday's game. shit pitching, offense can't do anything.
>>68780699
He sounds like a complete faggot
fuck you channel 7
Just for fun, I looked up Mad Bum's batting stats to compare them to Yovani Gallardo's:
Mad Bum: 468 PA, .180/.222/.303, 11 2B, 13 HR, 37 R, 45 RBI, .123 ISO, 3.4 fWAR.
Gallardo: 470 PA, .198/.223/.333, 21 2B, 12 HR, 36 R, 42 RBI, .136 ISO, 3.1 fWAR.
>>68780478
Can't wait to see him throw a runner out at the plate. Here's his MLB hitting stats:
300 PA, .181/.207/.317, 8 2B, 1 3B, 9 HR, 25 R, 31 RBI, .137 ISO, 1.9 fWAR.
Whelp, the Hammel meme is officially over lads
>Jason Hammel getting rekt
I look forward to this six-man rotation.
eventually we'll learn to stop relying on Hammel
Thank you Albert
Based Albert Almora putting a smile on our faces :)
oh good, we're going to get raped by the weather tomorrow
>>68779735
I never see these posted individually, just the aggregate image. What gives?
>>68781068
by the time I made them, Maddon had realized he should only give Richard garbage time
I only used them 2 or 3 times, and just once did I use the full set
>JD mentioning """""God""""" on tv
Why dont they fire this jagoff already? I dont need him preaching his stupid religion to me ever
how about now for a time where Heyward doesn't suck
>>68781444

trips speak truth, there is no God in baseball or maybe even at all
>Tom Brady commercial
What in the actual fuck?
>Cubs keep getting the lead-off man on
Do something with it, motherfuckers.
OH DAMN, Contreras has fucking wheels for a catcher.
wtf a six man rotation...please tell me this is gonna be okay.
crazy uncle joe has gone young kids playing everyday crazy
Can we please break out the dingers now
>>68783774
no, ok maybe later then
>>68783493
They're not going to a true six man rotation, they're just having Warren make a spot start or two (one before all-star break, one after maybe) in order to give the actual rotation a break, as the Cubs have 24 straight games without an off day
We don't need Chapman, we've got our own Cuban lefty
Based Concepcion El Cubano making his debut.
It's been a long road. Fucker was signed before Soler for an $8MM bonus. Pretty much everyone thought he was a bust right away.
AYYYY FUCKING K
Atta boy.
>>68785307
wasn't he friends or teammates with Soler in Cuba, like half the reason the signed him was to attract Soler
but yeah glad he could come back
nice shifting tardinals
WHAT DO WE WANT?
DINGERS
WHEN DO WE WANT IT?
DINGERS
1908 tbH
>>68785490
Exactly. I remember all the hype when he signed. Some said he could be a #3 starter in the majors because he had a good frame, low 90s fastball, curveball, and changeup with solid control. Got to the US, got lit up, and couldn't strike out anyone. Then the hope became he could be a #5.
I guess being a major league LOOGY is better than nothing, right?
>>68785830
Good year.
Hello I would like to order some DINGERS. Any kind of DINGERS will do. If you know where I can find some DINGERS please let me know.
>>68786359
Incoming Almora DINGER
Russell is CLUTCH in late innings. He just always gets big hits. Hopefully this allows the Cubs to get some fucking runs.
I don't even wanna know how many runners the Cubs have LOB.
>that russell double
don't tease me like that
UMPBALL
That call was pretty bullshit tbqh.
tfw LOB
>>68787097
Maybe you should have delievered HITS lol.
time for Heyward to fuck it all up
Time for Heyward to shit the bed
>>68787404
>>68787417
Heymind
I'm glad I don't have to deal with Heyward being shit anymore.
>Heyward
Are you literally waiting for the second half to heat up?
faggot lucky cardinals
fuck you
why does Pedro Strop wear his hat sideways
is he trying to act gangsta
>>68788401
Pedro is gangsta as fuck desu
Hey, so can we have those dingers now please?
>ITT: butthurt Cubs fans
>>68788811
Congrats on being the Cardinals fan to post in the gamethread this series
>>68788917
the first Cardinals fan, it should say
>>68788969
It still made sense
Its funny because the guy Addison plays at Addison station
Dingers please
>>68788969
I was here yesterday and today, asshat
Just because we don't feel the need to post every 40 seconds doesn't mean we're absent
That was the hardest swing I've seen all season
>>68789791
>thread is at 72 posts
>implying Cubs fans spam the thread
Cardinals aren't even good at bringing the bantz this season
>>68789887
>point out you are incorrect
>you get indignant about this somehow
Damn. Maddon needs to bring a magician or something. Two really close games that they've lost.
>losing a series to a team that just dropped five straight to Texico teams
>cusb
There are no Argiefags in here, right?
Oh well, at least STL won.
>Cardinals "fans"
>don't show up in the thread until the 9th inning
>weak bantz when they won't even make the playoffs
>>68790415
mad your team lost?
why did Almora swing at a pitch at his head
>>68790415
Well there's only so much room on the newest meme team's bandwagon, right?
