I predict Cubs will have good fortunes rest of the way unless Maddon is a faggot who refuses to bench Almora or Heyward.

Why the fuck should somone like Almora or Heyward get more playing time if they've had all season to come up with big htis and their numbers show they suck. Almora especially. People thought he was cut out to be an everyday player.

It’s a beautiful day in Wrigley North...

Entitled crazed conservative
You got Happ, now sit down.

Clearly hit the grass, but this wouldn't be a brewers game without massive umpball

Heyward has been delivering since june you sound stupid

Cubs getting umpballed behind the plate already lmao

Fuck yeah, Happ already helping the team win.

happ will go 4 for 5 this game, with 2 home runs

Happ poster fully erect right now.

Good fucking shit

I didn't hear what happened

>cubs get some runs
Finally.

Attached: BoteDinger.gif (512x288, 3.03M)

Dumbass shouting at Bote after every pitch

"BOTE YOU SUCK"

"STRIKE 3"

then he went yard

"Why did you pull me Joe?"

"Because we gotta get more bats in because the bullpen's gonna blow it after I took you out"

Lmao the second the ball left the bat this is what i was thinking about

>Strike out on 3 pitches
'MVP' indeed.

LMAO YELICK LMAO

Also he had how many pitches in 4 innings? It was only a matter of time before he got shelled.

HOLY FUCK WINTRUST TURN DOWN YOUR VOLUME

how was Hendrix?

Heywards having a good year wtf you sucking

LOB that one over the fence and get it

>muh matchups

the cubs bullpen is gonna be so fucking bad in 2020

dude does not understand the cubs bullpen

it's like he statically sets his bullpen rotation and even when things are going excellently for a pitcher he'll pull him

He's held on to that mindset since game 7 2016.

Which Kyle?

its just the 7th inning and joe has used up all the good pitchers...bring in carl jr

>mfw we're losing Strop, Cishek, Kintzler, and Morrow

but hey at least >we'll have Kimbrel

>Gio killed himself
LOL

Brewers are ruining their starters

They should file a class action for negligence after this season

I hope the Cubs try and resign Cishek and Kinzler.
Then again, Kinzler is due for a regression after this season like what happened to Chavez last year.
RIP.

dont remind me. why doesnt Joe respect Hendricks? I feel like he has such a classic style of pitching, Maddon should appreciate it

Edwards is in the minors

Ryan was in for 2 outs after hendricks

>Morrow

don't fucking speak his name

that absolute waste of money holy fucking shit i hate him so much the piece of shit pitched half a season on a 2 year contract

Imagine being the only metropolis in the midwest and having an inferiority complex over one of your suburbs. KEK

not his fault they overused him and he died from pants

>pitched half a season on a 2 year contract

how did he get away with it??????

imagine being a podunk piece of shit team that lucked into 2 of the best players this generation and squandering them totally

cubs are racist carl and russ both in the minors///no black players on the team...dont you fukken call heyward black

Yelich is a Miller Park baby though.
His stats fall off the cliff if he's not there.

why are you threatened by wisconsin sports? be honest baby.

Why was he brought up again?

Baez! played it off Cishek's ASS to get the out!

That should be a fly out

Penny man luck stat 99.

Seriously, is Maddon going to have kintzler get an out here, and two more and then have someone else get the final out in the 8th before Kimbrel?

Or keep Kintzler out there

Or put a position player in

Imagine having scott walker as your governor and rigging all the state elections through gerrymandering and voter suppression AND think people from out of state want to go to their of their festivals.
They're born petty

looks like the praying man stays in

...and than there was 2 inning left...hurry up and hire joe girardi

Looks like Kintzler's back out on a short leash.
He better not give up a runner or Strop is going to inflate Kintzler's ERA

FUCK YOU THEO FUCK YOU...TRADE RIZZO FOR PITCHING

I'd rather have Rizzo pitch to be quite honest.

I hope you're happy, Maddonizi

at least they scored on a clean hit instead of a 3-player collision error

cubs have no chance at a playoff run as long as maddon is in charge

no fucking clue how to manage a bullpen

epstein and ricketts better be on the phone with him now tuning him up, i swear to god

Get us Joe Giradi,

Attached: Hide the pain, Joe.png (640x400, 470K)

Because Joe follows a set of moneyball numbers that tell him to pitch to a rightey with a righty, and he can’t see past that because he’s tone deaf to the soul of the game and his players. You let a guy finish his inning unless he’s in serious trouble, otherwise you just fuck up the rhythm of the game. He’s gotten as far as the math will take him but without the soul he and the cusb are lost.

Go away nazi

eddie vedder for manager

This is moneyball's fault.

Fuck it I’d let Cusack manage.

Time for a Beaz home run or strike out.
Those are the only outcomes.

Computers ruin everything. No wonder the Empire banned them.

BAEZ FOR THE L

Things that make you go hmmm (obvious sign stealing cheaters supported by home park staff):

Christian Yelich home vs. away stats:
Home: .365 BA, .463 OBP, 1.305 OPS, 24 HR
Away: .308 BA, .409 OBP, .992 OPS, 11 HR

Cody Bellinger home vs. away stats:
Home: .351 BA, .450 OBP, 1.174 OPS, 20 HR
Away: .308 BA, .411 OBP, 1.050 OPS, 14 HR

Statistically impossible for them to put up those differences in splits without cheating. Now look at a real baseball player like Mike Trout and how his stats are virtually identical home and away. Rigged game. Rigged system. This semen slurping sport isn't for me.

cubs should had won 2-0... joe cost the cubs over 10 games playing with numbers instead of the soul of the game
