It's gonna finish 1-0 just like the Padres game

REALLY Boarderline call there

I pray not

Why does Hernandez have a uterus tattooed on his neck?

Thank god. Felix is a tired old hand.

>Mariners top OF prospect Jarred Kelenic continues to rake at Class-A West Virginia, 2-for-4 with a double and HR today.

>The 19-year-old has a 16-game hitting streak during which he's batting .453 (29-for-64) with 9 doubles, 6 HR, 17 RBI.

Excellent question

He should have taken Malex's spot

Haniger has good eyes tonight

Come on Hamels.

Wow, time flies.


>That cheeky floating bunt by Contreras

Felix only has off-speed left in him. This game is going to be a blood bath

>King's Court is still a thing

damn...this guy was elite not too long ago
he's gonna be one of those vets who gets a minor-league deal in February next offseason

schwarber can't hit anything offspeed

trade schwarber for literally anything

Holy fuck he got out of it

DP!

Come on Schwarber, you knew you were only going to get off speed pitches and still whiffed.

>Almora GIDP
Maybe the Ichrio thing isn't working after all.

schwarbie hasn't hit anything offspeed all year

>That 2016 game
My only regret is it was ESPN and JD and Len couldn't call it.
Fuckers always get the best games for unforgettable Cubs walk offs, like the Bote ultimate grand slam last year.

Rizzo needs to back the fuck off the plate

>Rizzo actually hits through the shift
What the fuck sort of defense is this Mariners?

Goddamnit, you fuckers had the shift on and you couldn't even get the ball in play??!!!

Good stop Dee

Baez's dropping batting average is depressing.

Attached: 1476067653446.jpg (1920x1080, 740K)

Only good thing he did was be so shit that Diaz was made closer

ayyyy jizzo

FUCK YOU THEO FUCK YOU

*air-humps over the plate*

Admit it's a bitch move, leaf.

Which is the more sexual batters stance?
Rizzo's air humping over the plate
Or Zobrists' masterbatter movement?

>grab drink
>miss bottom of inning

You didn't miss anything

>29 pitches
>done with 3 innings

That's a solid start for Hamels

Attached: file065145.jpg (1280x720, 142K)

Rizzo
BenZo can pass it off as churning butter, there's nothing subtle about hip gyration

nothing bitch about purposely taking more HBPs

Sure there is. It says "I can't hit, so hit me so I can get on base."

Unlucky.

Dee is such a quick thinker

>that strike call
lmao

Yes, those were good hands

This ump's strike zone is garbage.

Attached: 1411009668739.png (210x200, 56K)

Press AAA for Addison Russell.

sorry, we can do better

No way he'd be an upgrade for the current bench and the media was really sharpening their knives.

I assume you're a cusb?

No, just a shitposter who squats in our gamethreads

I'll ask you to kindly leave.

ALMORA WITH A BASE IT UP THE MIDDLE! BOTE SCORES!

>bouncer off 2B bag

>not lucky

It's called good hitting.

>It's called lucky hitting

Or bad defense

eugh I forgot about Incarnation's twitchy batting stance

It does get old

You could have scored you fatass

Blast it like Beckham baby

Lol

Impressionable cubs picking up on the mariners defense spaghetti

What in the fuck is happening

Magic

>pitching is causing the fielders to play like dipshits

Cubs are letting an inferior team beat them by beating themselves.

I dunno user looked like baez and Bote shit the bed. I agree about the pitching though

cubes cusbing

Attached: cubsgondola.png (680x486, 227K)

Unlucky that bloop didn't land safe Haniger.

We lead now

can’t field the ball if they can’t hit the pitch
*tapping head negro image*

Both those were Bote's fault. Baez was just trying to salvage the situation and forced the issue which ended up blowing up in their faces.

It's only a 1 run game and Hernandez has been playing with fire all night. Only a matter of time before the Cubs have a break out inning.

FUCK YOU THEO FUKKEN TRADE RIZZO NOW FOR PITCHING

Baez would have made that tag

C'mon M'erroriners, don't pull a risp

fuck.

Stopped that threat, but all the high stress pitches are probably worse for Hamels than the pitch count.
He'll be lucky if he isn't pulled by the 6th.

Jesus christ, who's runnin that show?

Funny thing is he didn't even touch her, it was just all yelling.

to remind himself of where he came from

ehhh it was a lot more than being a dick, like he beat the shit out of multiple gf's while cheating on them and telling them it was their fault
>on a hilarious side note: Russell sent hundreds of dollars in child support to his ex in the form of rolled coins

Make it count this time boys

why are the cubs gifting this game to the marines

Time to panic!

there's no evidence he beat anyone

Love Dee, buit fuck that stupid nig pinky-tooth shit

What a division to play this year, the cubs, brewers, cards, reds, pirates are all fun matchups!
Side note, the NL Central has the best uniforms in mlb.

The ultimate Cubs TV fuckup was when Jessica Mendoza and fucking A-Roid called an Arietta No No because Curt Schilling can't keep his ebay history private.

No love for Kodak?

Dubs and bases clearing double

Now the ump decides to have a correct zone after all the Cubs he's burned?

New ball game, up to the pen.

Get something nice of Kintzler Hamels.

What are you on about?

Boy I sure hope our fantastic relief pitching can hold the Cubs so we can come back and get the win...

yikes...base kintzler still pitching decently enough

honestly the situation's in limbo
two exes have accused him of abuse, MLB has been "investigating" it with no end, and Russell took his suspension and apologized for being an asshole without going into detail. there doesnt seem to be any legal action from any side.
Im not gonna go full #BelieveAllWomenNoMatterWhat, but their accounts are the only thorough descriptions that we have

how's your bullpen M's bro?

>Rosscup
kmao never thought i'd hear from this guy again

SNIPER GANG KODAK

Fucking terrible

The Cubs bullpen runs off that emotional slime from Ghostbusters II,

You say that in a Memeiner thread?

sounds like my gf that broad is always on a rag about something

>Len and JD say the balls are juiced.
I'm surprised they did that, everyone knows they're juiced but they're not supposed to say it.

I don't follow the mariners so I wouldn't know

also nice play

>Len is completely ignorant of MLS

they truly are the best broadcast duo in baseball

Baez doing Baez things in the field.

Also it's only 1 run, we've been here before. Nothing to worry about yet.

Attached: 1501819937483.png (1024x768, 788K)

Baez barely got away with that one.

Also it's a whole run, they rarely come back.
Lots to worry about

Back to the bench for you Bote.

well of course it happens with 2 outs :(

2 outs? Time for a base hit!

Yes. He is possibly the player I hate the most in the 5-6 years I've followed this team

how long will it take bryant to unfuck his swing

he's had nice cuts though

He is getting a lot of hard contact lately, it's just a lot of times he just has bad luck with the defense.
