Game Thread: 8/6 Champs @ Chubbs

It is funny watching Belt hit, though. His ABs are ugly and awkward, but he will hurt you.

sfgrtb, did you follow up on that question you asked me?

I did, and he agreed. I changed my mind about the name I had in mind though.

 

[calsnowskier]

If Heston can go 5 without giving up any more runs, I will be happy and call it a "quality" start. Similar to Bum last week.

 

[SFGRTB]

All good comebacks, guys, and ladies.

Lets face it, this is year 1 of a long, long window for the Cubs.

A lot can happen. Posey took a big hit to protect your Schwarber.

I do like all your young players though, and Maddon. Definitely on the rise. No hate on the Cubs from me.

 

[SFGRTB]

Hey, at least Heston is 1-0 on the SDI

Pitching is a concern, though. The hitting, not so much.

7 up, 7 down.

I will take it.

Yeah, but they'll do something about it. Arrieta and Lester is a good start. Hammel is a good pitcher too. I'm not familiar with the Pen.

But as the Cubs fan said, it's year 1 for them.

I picked him for my Beat the Streak today

Top offense in NL only down 3 in the 5th. I'll take it after the first 2.

 

[calsnowskier]

Nice steal. Eliminates the PBF...

I do NOT approve this message.

 

[calsnowskier]

Walktor gets to first.

Nice

 

[SFGRTB]

WOW. Both pitchers out of the game. Who woulda thunk after the 2nd?

 

[moxie]

Hehehe..best manager in the game! Genius!!

 

[calsnowskier]

Both SPs go exactly 4IP. A wash as far as bully-wear goes. I will take it.

Both managers treating it like a playoff game, and rightly so. Maybe will be the same all series.

 

[tzill]

aaaand, into the Chubb bully.

I mean, he's bringing in a guy with a sub-2 ERA in the 5th! I think you're right.
