Not since Pete Rose was banned

Rizzo has been so fucking good since the allstar break

He got his air hump grove back.
Time for Baez to deliver or strike out trying.

Give us back Willy

At least that fuck who intentionally tries to get himself hit by pitches isn't in the line up.

god I fucking hate watching the cubs on the road, because we are a good team but something always goes fucking wrong, our offence shits the bed or the bullpen throws it away or a pitcher collapses. It sucks because were a good fucking team but this shit keeps fucking happening

kek scuba kek

Well, at least it's only tied again.

lul scamels

4 run lead just evaporated

cole "pitches himself into a jam"els

Hamels was playing with fire all night. He just got burned that time.
Now it's a pen against pen battle.

the straw that broke the hamelsback

>Lucroy face

Heyward's regressed hard, back to the bottom of the order with him.

cole "change the channel" hamlels

cole "unscramble a 4 run lead" hamels

nice, what a meme game though

Sign Nick, Theo

CASTELLANOS DOES IT AGAIN WITH ANOTHER SOLO HOMER

I do enjoy the continuity we get with Len and JD.
Still waiting for the next installment of 3 run homer verses quality start.

Come on Chatwood, finish this inning fast so the Umps can call the game.

BEAUTIFUL CATCH

Please don't give up a home run or double.

Why isn't Schwarbie in the lineup?

>Chatwood survives
Game can be considered complete now if they call it.

Look at the Red's starter Kohai.

Send heyward!

>Reds throw at Heyward
>Then try to challenge to say he wasn't hit
I take it back, dirty team.

>One basket case for another one.
At least Puig left as Reds fans wanted him to, in the middle of a brawl. Bauer went out like a little bitch

>basket case
the resd acquired carl edwards jr?

I liked puig, he was fun to lost, but Im glad the cubs dont have to play against him very often anymore

Do not speak ill of the dinosaur man.

he was a headcase and turned into a pile of shit

The Darvish vs Puig battle was a good way to end his time in the Central.
The sheer amount of time it ate up.

Apologize.

Get this Reds fan outta here

Someone ought to take this guy out back

>Chatwood single handedly dropped Aquino's BA by .050
I know it's because he's doing unnaturally good and has a small sample size, but it still amuses me.

Happ is the perfect trade bait now, for the off season. Bench him so he can't regress.

It's easy to forget that he was once a top 20 prospect who got called up a year prior to his time. Happ probably couldve been a top 5

>Pitches are so slow, they can't register them on pitch cast.
Poor Heyward, going 0-5 when every other starters sans the pitcher had 2 or more hits.
Time for a new lead off guy.

nah keep heyward there

who is Lucroy gonna thank at the world series parade podium come October...im thinking mike trout for getting him fired

>Baez batting left handed
Stats be damned, they're having fun.
Also, he was probably going to find a way to homer off of Farmer's pitches if he batted normally.

Based chatwood giving up zero runs in 3 innings, they werent clean but finally bruh

[W]
It looked like it was going to get out of hand with how Hamels was getting rocked every inning, but the bats kept producing while Chatwood and the rest of the pen shut down the Reds offense.

I hope we get more details on that last Baez at bat.

[W] finally won an opener boys

He's hit a major slump in the lead off spot though.

p sure hes trying to develop switch hitting he was hitting lefty in the cage the other day

Chatwood gets the win. The Cubs are due for some W's vs. the Reds.

With how good he is hitting oppo, I don't see why he'd need to learn to switch hit. But we'll find out.

Let's see if Darvish can stuff Bauer tomorrow.
