>Crowd cheered and applauded every time Chatwood threw a strike.
I can't tell if they're making fun of him, or this is collective positive reinforcement strategy.

Why is Yu Darvish shilling Yea Forums passes?

You must be pretty socially retarded then

This guy's command is just as bad as Chatwoods.

Why must you be so mean?
Did you not get anything from the Easter Bunny?

Got a bad feeling for today’s game.

WHIP of 1.0 through two.
Pretty good for Chatwood.

>1-2-3 third
>32 pitches
Chatwood is looking good so far.

welp hopefully they win, but id be lying if I said I had something better to do than watch extra innings

Mrrgrgrgr.
At least this means the Cubs can walk it off. Walk offs are always nice.

But it still sucks becuase it's at the expense of Chatwood, he really deserved it.

Attached: 1552733158811.png (384x384, 126K)

It's just a law of Wrigley field, where for every Hit that comes 2 feet to being a home run for the Cubs, the opposing team must hit a home run 10 rows deep.

EL MAGO

CUBS WIN

Amusing the starting rotation stays healthy. If Chatwood keeps this level of play up, and Darvish is still a bum, I wonder what the chances are of Darvish being put in the pen and Chatwood being a starter.

Either way, everyone but Darvish has really stepped up with Lester out, let's hope it's sustainable.

well the starting rotation can be amusing at times, but that's possible. Or they can just go to the 6 man rotation,Darvish is getting closer to putting it together

I c wut u did thar.
Cheeky.

Attached: 1544828789021.jpg (720x720, 44K)

darvish would likely be elite in the pen, its probably what hes best suited for at this point

This early in the season you have to let Darvish have some starts.
They have a ton of cash wrapped up in him, plus he's a former 4x allstar.
Coming off elbow surgery, you have to give him some time to get his throwing mechanics in line.
There's still 140+ games to play. This is the time to let Darvish try to get himself right.

This to the maximum

Is this supposed to be Fatty tripfag repellent?
