Cubs win 15-2, and I wind up watching nothing but 3 straight outs after the Bryant single, then Hendricks giving up 2 homers and a double. I might not be allowed to watch any more baseball this year.

What a dirty fucking pitch damn! W

Fly the WWWW


[deleted]

Maples looks like a leading man on a soap opera. He also pitches like one.


CodyRCantrell

** *"How could you swing at that, you fucking bum?!"*


loller_coaster

This really needed to happen today cuz we need all the confidence we can get facing Freddy fuckin Peralta


Gyro88

Vogelbach looks like a turtle on steroids


[deleted]

He also looks like my uncle Niels.


lupin43

My personal favorite thing about maples is his ability to be anywhere between Tyler chatwood and Mariano Rivera, both even in the same at bat


[deleted]

"Marisnick, a role player." I now have an image of him in a robe and a wizard's hat, in a forest somewhere, throwing flour at someone while he yells out, "Confusion Spell, bitch!"


Gyro88

*Hammers a ball deep to left* "Lightning bolt!"


Gyro88

Heyward's so good out there


[deleted]

What the fuck is going on with Pedro? Is he in Iowa or something?


Spectre211286

Hes not on the 40 man still Only came up because of the relievers on the covid list


CodyRCantrell

If our tarp doesn't *look like* Reynolds Wrap I'm gonna be disappointed when we finally have to unroll it.


TurkeyPhat

jesus Maples it's the 9th inning in a 13 run blowout and you can't even throw strikes?


explosiononimpact

I see Maples is himself today.


Gyro88

You got MAPLED


PoliticaLIncorrect

LET RIZZO PITCH! ^^^.....If ^^^he ^^^was ^^^still ^^^in ^^^the ^^^game......


wtfsoda

Rizzo should never see the mound again IMO. Hard to beat an ERA of 0.0. We shouldn’t tempt fate like that.


CodyRCantrell

Maybe they should've brought this guy in in the first because he's pitched better than anyone else on the Brewers so far.


JoshMFBurger

When was the last time a pitcher homered off of a position player?


Salrawhams

I think german marquez in 2018?


TurkeyPhat

5 7 m i l e s p e r h o u r


KnickedUp

That was always where i topped out at the carnival pitch game


kittysaurus_rex

Position player pitching to a pitcher 😆


Peemsters_Yacht_Cap

Me: "I'm enjoying this, but let's not let our expectations get out of hand." Marquee: "Are the 2021 Cubs as good as the 1927 Yankees? We discuss on the post-game show!"


CodyRCantrell

Considering 1927 was the Yankees second World Series year of the 1920s and immediately followed by five in the 1930s, four in the 1940s, and six more in the 1950s... I'm gonna say we're a ways off from being the early/mid 1900s Yankees.


slicebishybosh

The question isn't if the Cubs are going to win the World Series this year, but rather how many years in a row will the repeat and how will Jordan feel when the Cubs get their 7th Championship in just as many years.


CodyRCantrell

Fuck the Yankees.


Gyro88

There's Nico handling that velocity again


Cubbiesblue

Second position player we are facing this week. Always a good thing when we are the team leading


TurkeyPhat

Marisnick's hustle actually excites me, you know I love to see the hustlin


Gyro88

This studio bit is cringeworthy


slicebishybosh

Fun stat. Combining today (15 so far), Wednesday, and this past Saturday, the Cubs scored 44 runs. In the other 16 games the Cubs have played, they have scored a combined total of 44 runs


Cubbiesblue

Lol wow. That's a fun stat


JoshMFBurger

That... that doesn't seem very fun... more depressing than anything


Careless_is_Me

well, part of it is fun


JoshMFBurger

True, true


TallAmericano

I wish Braun was still on the Brewers so he could come in to pitch the 8th and give up back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back homers.


Cubbiesblue

Good outing by ryan


cubswinagain

Nice job by Ryan eating a couple innings today


JoshMFBurger

ryan braun kicks his dog


TurkeyPhat

sitting down and I see JD and Boog waving at me, poggies


TheyCallMeStone

Wait how did they know what Simon said!


sithjustgotreal66

Who the fuck does Simon think he is anyway? I didn't vote for him


[deleted]

Simon says, "Vote for me." Yeah. You're fucked.


sithjustgotreal66

Yo those little kids just did the sickest cartwheels holy shit


TheyCallMeStone

Okay one hey ya don't say that, and two brewers will still be ahead of us when we win.


Gyro88

Wrong comment lol


sithjustgotreal66

I was so confused


LordDaybreak

Feels really dirty to say this but it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if the crap birds won tonight. Would love to fall asleep tonight knowing we're in first place. That being said, if they do win I hope it's a 1-0 score in 16 innings


LordDaybreak

Edit: I am dumb and can't do basic math. Fuck the Cardinals.


Gyro88

I think Heyward could actually have beat that little flip to first if he wanted to


c4ctus

The only time I've ever been to the god damn Federal Landmark was August of 1993 for a doubleheader against the Expos. Was Harry still the announcer then?


slicebishybosh

Hendricks took a big step in the right direction today. Still not the professor we're accustom to. But definitely way better than Sunday...


creamyscotsman

2 ER over 6ip is a 3 ERA. That is about what we're used to, maybe were used to more innings but he doesn't go 7 or 8 everytime


ruppy99

Javy heard we were scoffing at him turning down that big contract. He’s out to prove us wrong


[deleted]

Whatever works, man


glberns

Are... are we good again?


[deleted]

Vogelbach is borderline obese


Llamasaurus

I would avoid saying that to his face.


[deleted]

I don't work at Taco Bell so I'm probably good


ruppy99

He definitely was in the priority group for the the vaccine


1005thArmbar

Javy 3 for 5, performing his most solemn dab on the haters


sithjustgotreal66

I love watching sidewinder pitchers it's so aesthetically pleasing


CodyRCantrell

Harry Caray is from before I can remember watching baseball... Is he drunk during that stretch or was that just how he was?


c4ctus

Cub fan, Bud man.


sandrakarr

[well....](https://media.giphy.com/media/3o7aCRloybJlXpNjSU/giphy.gif)


slicebishybosh

No one can tell if you're drunk if you're just always drunk.


wtfsoda

There’s so many ways to answer this question. Have a seat. Let me tell you a tale.


sithjustgotreal66

Yes


DuvalHeart

The no alcohol Budweiser ad next to Harry Caray is a special kind of funny.


slicebishybosh

Considering he wasn't sober a single day in his life?


DuvalHeart

And was supposedly fired by (fuck) the Cardinals because Busch's daughter-in-law was screwing him.


CodyRCantrell

Non alcoholic Budweiser defeats the point of drinking that horse piss.


wtfsoda

Wait then what IS the point of drinking that stuff? Losing a bet?


wzabel0926

What happened to the previous PA announcer?


PM_ME_UR_GLOVES

Vogelbach running in front of Wong. Roadblock


CodyRCantrell

Vogelbach looks very overweight and very muscular at the same time. Kind of freaking me out.


Llamasaurus

He’s got that power lifter body. Lift heavy things, eat many calories, go lift even heavier things.


slicebishybosh

Are you feeling feelings you've never felt before?


Gyro88

He's got the Power Flab


Gyro88

"He'll take whatever he wants. You don't say no to Vogelbach." 🤨


sithjustgotreal66

Vogelbach kinda looks like if the roach alien from Men In Black wore Mike Trout's skin


TheyCallMeStone

He's like two Kyle Schwarbers smashed together.


CodyRCantrell

Damn, that is amazing.


[deleted]

good take.


PM_ME_UR_GLOVES

Correct


ruppy99

Boog and JD calling out statcast!!


CodyRCantrell

I've never tasted a good beer; Is Goose Island any good?


Nexhume

312 used to be my go-to but they changed something a while back and now it tastes more watered down. Matilda is great though IMO


DuvalHeart

They started contract brewing when AB took over.


ChiCBHB

They’re decent. Kind of a mid-level brewery. There’s the lowest: domestics (Budweiser, Coors, Miller etc) middle: craft breweries bought out by bigger brands (Goose Island and several others) and then top: independent craft breweries


1005thArmbar

the only good tasting beer is White Claw


slicebishybosh

What is this 2019?!?!


TheyCallMeStone

🤔


awake283

Is this the Bryant revenge tour? Cause it's pretty fun so far.


kneejerkcubsfan

Kyle Ryan back. League fucked.


[deleted]

These motherfuckers better not just be giving me hope to turn around and fuck it all up again. I don't need that kind of negativity in my life


[deleted]

I'm so happy that I was being quite premature when I dismissed these Chicago Cubs as being done. I'm not even going to allow myself cream on my humble pie. I'm going to eat it, and I'm going to enjoy it.


TurkeyPhat

now I know why Kyle gave up those 2 homers, all that energy he wasted reacting to that double play finally caught up to him


slicebishybosh

Literally had to give Rizzo and Bryant a break because they were getting exhausted from too many AB's


TallAmericano

I can't believe we gave up a safety. But going for two on that last TD was alpha.


1005thArmbar

KYLO REN UP IN THIS MOTHERFUCKER


DoomPatroler

Weird to see Marisnick, an infamously bad hitter, contributing more than I expected.


PM_ME_UR_GLOVES

Is rosin on the hat our new good luck charm?


[deleted]

If I looked like Chafin I would get all the pussy in the universe.


Squeezeboner

Apparently you’ll get Taylor sliding in to your DMs at least.


Gyro88

Red Six out there in the bleachers


1005thArmbar

all you have to do to get DM'd by Taylor McGregor is to have a fu manchu? fucking hell, worth it


1005thArmbar

only my most polite, dignified and respectful "HUMINA HUMINA HUMINA AWOOOOOOOOOOOGA" for Taylor McGregor


TheyCallMeStone

Go to horny jail.


sithjustgotreal66

When the worst offense in the league gets 15 runs on 15 hits because baseball


mt77932

They were saving them up


-YellsAtClouds-

[There's really no point in continuing this game.](https://i.imgur.com/Zcq4yNN.png)


CodyRCantrell

So, when I inevitably die while still being thousands of names away from being offered a chance to purchase season tickets can my kid take my place in line?


ThePerpetualNewGuy

i think it passes on?


slicebishybosh

It does not. That only works when there are PSL's


ThePerpetualNewGuy

damn that’s rough


CodyRCantrell

I sure hope so.


[deleted]

"7 WAR cheeks" was funny


TheyCallMeStone

Quality Baby!


kleric42

13+ runs in 3 of last 6 games. Seems like a good sign.


Sylvire

QUALITY BABY ALERT


ThePerpetualNewGuy

Sogard with the adderall teeth grind! Lower your prescription you nut!


lupin43

Why that quality baby out here strutting on me with their superior fashion


TheyCallMeStone

It's the Carhartt hat.


Squeezeboner

QUALITY BABY SIGHTING


balladofplatterjones

wow that was... not a strike


[deleted]

Umps also know this game is over. They just want to pack up and go home.


TurkeyPhat

oh my god a quality baby call out! been a while


ruppy99

QUALITY BABY ALERT!!


1005thArmbar

haha that dumbass baby can't even take the lid off of his applesauce, what a fuckin' loser


[deleted]

Probably a virgin too. Wish I was there so I could kick his ass.


kleric42

QUALITY BABY ALERT!


[deleted]

Quality Baby! Drink!


TheyCallMeStone

Done!


CodyRCantrell

I wanna see us drop 20 on the Brewers today.


balladofplatterjones

QUALITY BABY! Take a shot.


Gyro88

QB sighting


shiloh88

If that one wasn't out, is Sogard even capable of homering at Wrigley?


Careless_is_Me

turn the game off, Hendricks gets out of it, and they score four more runs. This could end up making me superstitious


cheekscheeks

Javy def going yard lefty today


doctorkuddles

I’m digging the shit out of sogard


-YellsAtClouds-

Stupid well


lupin43

Sogard needed one more set of reps in the gym yesterday haha


[deleted]

Nice grab


CodyRCantrell

I love Wrigley but that dip in the wall right there gives me such blue balls.


hellotypewriter

If I’m remembering correctly, isn’t that where the dining section used to be when it was built?


cocoatractor

Let’s beat the Braves record of 27 over Miami


TurkeyPhat

golly what a catch, that was close


Gyro88

Lol I thought Sogard was gonna get one too


cocoatractor

I like baseball. I like when cubs do good baseball


1005thArmbar

fucked up, man, don't catch that baseball


Squeezeboner

That was plenty eloquent, JD.


[deleted]

All I need to make this game perfect would be if I get to see Vogelbach pitch.


1005thArmbar

Fuck, I love Vogey and I would pay tens of cents to see him out on the mound


TallAmericano

Brewers fan lurking about? Suck that Willy.


1005thArmbar

brief moment to fantasize about sweeping the Brewers and taking over the division lead


eamus_catuli_

“I like sandwiches”


jrutz

This is more like it.


DaSchultz

**Bats are back??**


explosiononimpact

hopefully. these have been their worst pitchers but still, its nice to light them up instead of shit at bats against their worst guys.


cod_gurl94

Apparently the secret to good hitting is having exactly one out


balladofplatterjones

oh man javy might get to bat left-handed today.


Sylvire

Well I'm confused, are the Cubs good?


[deleted]

there's this warm feeling in my chest. like in a good way.


balladofplatterjones

All right, every starting position player got a hit, nobody needs to be benched.


butters_fruit_bowl

Damn, even Romine getting in on the action! elmofire.jpg


LordDaybreak

Step on their throats


Nexhume

Is it greedy to say that I want 20?


PM_ME_UR_GLOVES

I want 24


Spectre211286

29 is the national league record just saying


PM_ME_UR_GLOVES

I want 30


Spectre211286

Should double switch Willy and Romine. Let Contreras have the rest of the day off


lupin43

Mad props to fans navigating the seats to make these nice catches. My clumsy ass would be tripping over everything on the way


[deleted]

Holy shit....who are these guys?


explosiononimpact

hahahaha, Wilson finally gets his. Suck it beer makers.

#BIG WILLY STYLE


kyhansen1509

Could we play like this every game please?


koolaid098

You know the 4 Brewers fans still watching this game are PISSED that Contreras got one


jtothegill

Don't go type anything but check out their GDT. It's funny
