Who is going for us vs the cubs?

Norris/Wisler/??? vs Hammel/Arrieta/Lester.

Norris/Wisler/??? vs Hammel/Arrieta/Lester.

Blowout loss
Matt Wisler throws 8 strong innings, but loses 2-1
A guy most likely making his first MLB start

Should be fun

 

[Chewbaccer]

We draft a high school pitcher with the 3rd overall pick.

Not a fan of the move. It'll likely be at least 5 years before this guy sniffs the Majors, and are we planning on fielding a team composed entirely of pitchers minus Swanson, Albies and Smith in the future?

Braves lead the Cubs!

Just wanted to post it before we blow it

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

What? The Braves haven't been eliminated yet?

 

[gobigred]

5-1 Braves going into 9th

 

[gobigred]

Braves win 5-1 !!

There goes Heyward with a homer.

 

[Demonjoe93]

This inning is going downhill with all of Wisler's fuck ups.

 

[Demonjoe93]

Great job escaping the inning.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Nice escape job. When the 8 and 9 hitters are on second and third with no out and the top of the order coming up, it usually means big trouble.

Grounder to first with no advancement by the runners, a strikeout and a popout.

And thank you for not intentionally walking Bryant to face Rizo with 2 outs.

 

[Chewbaccer]

At least Arrieta won't no hit us with Smith's bunt single.

 

[Demonjoe93]

Damn it.

 

[Chewbaccer]

The wheels came off for Wisler.

As far as I'm concerned until the last fan that made Steve Bartman's life a living hell dies, the Cubs deserve nothing but the cellar, so it pains me to see them with the best record in the Majors. Here's to hoping they flame out quickly in the playoffs.

 

[Demonjoe93]

We've avoided the shutout at the very least now.

Agreed. That Bartman fiasco was and still is a fucking disgrace.

 

[Demonjoe93]

Ball's really flying for the Cubs.

 

[gobigred]

Braves down 3-1 after 4. Braves really suck with RISP

 

[gobigred]

1000!!!
