Cubs vs Nats 2017 (1 Viewer)

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Why not bat Heyward 9th.  He has been better this season, but he's had some terrible AB's in this series. 

Heyward is 15-37 (.405 BA) lifetime against Strasburg. 

 

[Grahamburn]

Pretty sure Baez was choking up there. Hell must be frozen. 

 

[Grahamburn]

Check swing no call costly. 

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

That dude behind home plate with the bright orange Marlins jersey needs an escort out of the ballpark. 

 

[thayman]

Big strikeout by Werth with bases loaded.  Put in Howie.

They flash the graphic of Werth leading active players in pitches taken per at-bat, and he then strikes out looking for the second time in a row.

He's just not getting it done.  I know it's a tough call but Dusty should have Howie in LF today.

And then letting him bat in a one run game. 

 

 

[Grahamburn]

I guess he could have used Schwarber to pad Strasburg's strikeout totals?

To be fair, it's probably the perfect time for Schwarber there. No way Strass is getting pulled so you at least guarantee the R/L matchup

 @ burning Lester here 

9 up. 9 down. Bozo Joe. 

 

[Grahamburn]

Get him out of the game, Dusty! He's sick!

 

[Limp Ditka]

9 up. 9 down. Bozo Joe. 

Hell of a performance by Lester

as for Maddon, Sorry, but he is a bozo.

A move that works doesn't make it a right move. I can see an argument for doing this with a 1 or 2 run Cubs lead and going for the throat. Down, to me it doesn't make sense to render Lester useless tomorrow

 

[Wrigley]

Get him out of the game, Dusty! He's sick!

Now imagine he was 100%

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Have a seat, Zimm.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Have a seat, Zimm.

So awesome 

 

[Grahamburn]

Now with the pick off!

There is no tomorrow. You play to win the game. 

 

[Limp Ditka]

Stop this

 

[Grahamburn]

Stop this

You are not the boss of me. 

 

[Grahamburn]

Ugh. Can't leave Edwards in here. 

 

[Limp Ditka]

Good luck with your 23 man roster tomorrow 

 

[thayman]

TAYLOR!!!!

 

[Grahamburn]

Tomorrow never dies. 

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Oof.

 

[Grahamburn]

Good luck with your 23 man roster tomorrow 

Hopefully Lackey can get in there. 

 

[Grahamburn]

I mean, why keep letting Davis pitch at this point? 

 

[Limp Ditka]

I mean, why keep letting Davis pitch at this point? 

I'll give you one guess. One word, two syllables 

 

[Limp Ditka]

BOZ-JOE

 

[Wrigley]

And Doolittle goes too

Why can't the Cubs ever make it easy

 

[Swing 51]

Last night was awesome. Tonight is going to suck.

 

[Grahamburn]

Last night was awesome. Tonight is going to suck.

At least the game isn't on at 4 o'clock in the freaking afternoon.  I'm out of excuses for why I need to leave work early. 

 

[Swing 51]

I rather like the 4pm start. Get in to the office early and then happy hour with the ballgame.

 

[Grahamburn]

I rather like the 4pm start. Get in to the office early and then happy hour with the ballgame.

I own my business so I can split when I want, but I definitely feel a little guilty about sneaking out two hours early.

 

[Grahamburn]

Bratwurst or hot dogs tonight? 

 

[Limp Ditka]

Ben's

4 PM also gives us a few hours to start to get over the loss before needing to go to sleep. I hate laying in bed, freshly pissed off at midnight and really wanting to just fall asleep.

 

[Wrigley]

A W would be nice on my Birthday

 

[Swing 51]

A W would be nice on my Birthday

Maybe next year, guy.

 

[Wrigley]

Maybe next year, guy.

yeah, can't win it every year

 

[Limp Ditka]

Maybe next year, guy.

Maybe his birthday is like April 2nd and he's just planning ahead

 

[Eephus]

The ultimate Dusty move would be to start Strasburg again tonight.  Either him or Walter Johnson.

The reverse jinx is strong with you guys.

 

[Grahamburn]

The offense is due.  No worries.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Only took Dusty 2 pitches to crap the proverbial sheets

 

[bshell27]

Heyward weak grounder to the right side.  Sounds familiar 

 

[gump]

I'm shocked Heyward didn't get a clutch hit.

 

[whoknew]

Turner is fast as hell.

 

[bshell27]

BAEZ!
