Rubber match! Sunday matinee! closest division in baseball!

No drone today, lads.

Automated strike zones would ruin Lester.

Part of what made him a good pitcher was he was able to manipulate the ump into changing the strike zone over the game to be more favorable to him.

But yes, in the electronic strike zone era, he's fucked.

luckily hes old already
but im worried in that regard about Kyle Ryan, he has a similar slider

Anyone who thinks Heyward should be in the lead off spot still is a damn fool.

Damn it Caratini, it's your job to keep them from stealing

Damn it Rizzo you had ONE TASK

the Cubs lead-off spot is cursed, no one can hit well in it for some reason. maybe they could try Castellanos? Heyward was solid in the 2-hole before

Let's go Reds

>Another warning track fly out

>Baez swinging at absolutely everything
>Castillo feeding him garbage, as he should
>Javy makes a double out of it

how do you say 'mvp' in puerto ricese?
also schwarbie got robbed by gravity

Beaz can throw his bat a breaking ball that hit the dirty and still get an RBI out of it.

I want to see a grid of all the pitches he's hit outside the zone at the end of the season.

I want that thick waitress to sit on my face

the mvp will be yelich or bellinger. acuna and freeman have a chance, too. javy will finish somewhere in the top 5.

Oh look, Happ got umpballed

>I want to see a grid of all the pitches he's hit outside the zone at the end of the season.

seconded

true, Yelich and Bellinger (my pick) have been excellent, with better numbers than Baez for the most part. he'll have his day

wallballed?

Kemp grounds out, but Happ scores!
2-3

Not over yet if the pen can hold.

What a joke league, I want to see Baez hit another home run off him and pimp it just to see what'll do since last year was proof he doesn't have the guts take a swing at him.

Electronic strike zone when?

put in strop and let the Reds win this game...cubbies work best when they are tied or trailing in the division...

Why does the avatar fag feel the need to give up a play by play even though everyone is watching the game? Chicago sports are fucking cursed on this website, absolutely reddit tier.

Zobrist's contract is up, Bote is sophomore slumping, Russell is untradeable, Descalso is garbage

lol the reds replaced puig with a younger, blacker puig

I'm looking forward to him starting a bench clearing brawl along with Garret then.

1 inning to go boys

Wick humiliates Suarez and Aquino with strike outs.
Prudently let's Peraza on base so the Reds are forced to burn Garret for a PH
Which is a total waste because Winker softy grounds out to Wick to end the inning.

Bullpen has been great and hasn't given up a run.
6-3 good guys going into the 9th.

[W]
A brilliant preference by the bullpen and the offense got some late inning magic going.

Couldn't ask more for a split given how the Reds have the Cubs number this season.
