Seattle Mariners @ Chicago Cubs Official Gamethread

>pooproy

To bad like all other Cubs hitters, he cannot into hitting with RISP

7 games vs. STL, including a 4-game series to end the season...

yes finally we have a 2B who can hit and play defense
ruselel JUSTed himself but this is the beginning of an unlikely redemption arc

Crap

Tag'em and bag'em

>Florida negro BTFO by Ivy League pick-off move

Check'em man check'ems again!

Nicky C with a double and NOBODY ON!

okay then

>male pattern boldness

With how quickly Fraley recovered, Heyward probably would have been out at home if he was on first.

Garcia, the two true outcome hitter.
fuck

>That balding spot
How unfortunate

>Lee Smith day
>Offense was dead again
It was for the best, if the Cubs tied it or a had a 1 or 2 run lead yesterday before Kimbrel shit the bed, that would have been a season crusher.

way to get out of that

This is capitalist labor day, communist labor day is may 1

wake up the lineup seags

Unemployment is quite low actually

another dud inning

Except that's deceptive to imply that's a good thing.
The 'jobs' people are working now are minimum wage or as contractors, where you get zero benefits.
Gig economy is defacto wage slavery.

Lead off work for Schwarber!

dare I call this a pitchers' duel?
if Sheffield can pitch like this consistently, Seattle already wins the Cano-Diaz trade

the jobs themselves suck

gtk
they should play this [canadian content]

It's not a duel if one side is dead.
22 innings since the Cubs last scored a run.

It's white collar labor day. Every blue collar I know has to work today.

Just let Hendrick hit, passing the buck to Heyward is a terrible idea.

dp pls

speaking of 22, Heyward is now 0-for-his-last-22

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

BLOW UP THE TEAM START AGAIN...

nice

Make that 23. But again, good contact, but horrible luck.

Someone must of cursed his luck stat.

how the fuck does this happen every single time?

On the board. bishop to first base pls

HendricKs is online

why are the Chicago Cucks so bad at BABIP

>Sheffield hits Rizzo
>Again
Coincidence territory.

if it happens a third time Rizzo will have a strong word
but hey Cubs all-time leader in HBP is quite an accomplishment!
might he challenge Baggio for the all time crown?

INB4 Schwarber hits a bomb... that turns into a warning track fly out.

Sheffield losing control

*Biggio
turns out he's actually 2nd all time, by just two HBPs, behind some old autist Hughie Jennings
either way, Rizzo is 147 HBPs away from first all-time - he's at 140 right now, 9 seasons into his career, at 30 years old...if he plays to 40 I can see it happening

sit them down

>RISP
Nothing Schwarber could do with that one, absolute pitcher's pitcher that was just enough to hug the zone.

You're one of the lucky ones then. Only salarymen got the day off in my family.

I guess Schwarber back to leadoff, at least he hit dingers

a walk works

I believe the only way to break out of this megaslump is to let Zobrist bat

This, put him when the next RISP happens.

Only one solution. Every player who was not on the team must be hog tied and burnt on the altar to refuel the Cubs meme magic.

Hit and run when?

leave them standing

This is like facing another Cubs team.

and a pop up...

Thru 6 innings today, Cubs have scored just 82 runs in Kyle Hendricks' 26 starts this season, an average of 3.15/game.

Only 2 pitchers in baseball (MIA's Alcantara and KC's Keller) receive less run support per start than Hendricks and MIA/KC are 2 of the worst offenses in MLB.

all those cups

Cardinals still winning, niggers

and it fell apart

>Cas-te-lla-nos chants
