If the Cubes lose this game they will be tied with the Brewers. The Brewers have had an objectively awful season on all fronts compared to their pre-season expectations, but here they are, one game away from the Cubs and only another from the NL Central leading Cardinals. If they can get hot again like they did last summer they can easily take that playoff spot

have mercy

woohoo

The Cubs are removing Pedro Strop from his late inning role after his recent struggles,
@MDGonzales writes.

why do i believe theo told joe to stop fukken with the lineup or else...

I’ll believe this when I see strop wearing another team’s colors. Until then he’s still lurking somewhere under the bed.

>The Brewers have had an objectively awful season on all fronts compared to their pre-season expectations
The same can be said for the >cusb.
On ~May 20 the >cusb were 11 games over .500.
Since then - for over 2 months - they've played sub .500 baseball.
They aren't a good baseball team.
The same can be said for methlouis.
Doesn't matter much which mediocre team wins the comedy central, they aren't doing anything in the postseason.

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

LOL that cunt deserves it

contreras is a gem

>Brewers targeting Willy with beanballs

disgusting, classless excuse for a ballclub and a joke of an organization. I bet they wont make a single move and let their window close without fanfare

Plz no broken finger

97mph HEATER from North Van's very own Rowan Wick to end this garbage inning. that one was for NVCLL (RIP)

I hate how close this game (and yesterdays) is, but considering the divisional race and the looming deadline, I also love it

I for one welcome future Chicago Cubs manager Tim Buss

is this some sort of deep card? the "main events" look pretty whatever: washed up Brazilian tranny vs. literal who in a girls fight, and Holloways facing an old fuck who hasnt won a meaningful fight in years

Happ does something here or else we shit on the Happ poster until the end of time.

Send Happ back to AAA and then trade him for pitching, he's total and complete bust.

>hitless in 2 starts since being called up
clutch

>.000 batting average
Every starting pitcher has a better Batting average than Ian Happ

>this "zone"

Daniel Descalso has a better batting average than Ian Happ

>are CIA

I was sort of unplugged for a bit, but now I’ve seen that Joe pulled Lester after 94 pitches and seven shutout. Soooo, how angry are we about that? Just on paper, I’m 8/10 angry.

HIGH IQ FIELDING BY WICK

Attached: 1527850791574.jpg (1280x720, 49K)

classic Canadian defense

not too mad considering Lester hasnt been the usual workhorse this season, and recently had a start pushed back due to illness. 7 innings and almost 100 pitches? he did his job
still mad about Hendricks getting pulled early AGAIN though

knowing how lousy the pen has been, it seems inexcusable, but he did the same thing to hendricks last game, so i guess he figures be might as well get fired mismanaging the way he likes.

>Wick getting umpballed
Just end this game, the league clearly doesn't want the Cubs to win

>the invisible ball illusion

bravo, Javy
some unconventionally good fielding in this inning

>Baez trickery
Top kek

That was a good High IQ play by Baez. Actual magic.

>Free baseball
It feels like we're just delaying the inevitable with the offense being dead.

Losers who don't contribute don't get high fives.

almora

all need to go down or trade for a real setup man

THIS

>gets fucked over by ump tonight
>it's all Happ's fault

solid performance from Wick despite that ass-tier strike zone

maybe they have a little rivalry over who gets to play centre?

Cubs need a Cheerleader and Idol group.

Kimbrel can't even throw a fucking fastball down the middle against a AAA hitter like Saladino

the Croat hits for less power away, but otherwise his home/away numbers are fairly even

As much as this hurts, it's literally just the same ole cubs. The 2018-19 cubs remind me of the 08-10 cubs. Can't believe I let my guard down. All a flash in the pan, I'll remember the playoff runs fondly which makes it all the worse. I'll never let my guard down again.
