>>142109483Crazy cubs won the first nyy series
Oh it’s Hayden…thought it was Shota today. let’s go Hayden!!
Birdsong is a pretty cool last name
LET'S GO HOERNER FUCK THESE BUNCH OF COCKSUCKIN CLOWNS!!!
>>142109883gurgh...
COME ON BUSCH
get the bat off your shoulder
swing for the fences BELLI let's fuh reaking go!!!!
>>142109935>>142110049guck...
Think I’d have Happ leading off until Nico starts resembling his old self. Lot of automatic outs to start games
sit the FUCK down!
ATTABOY HAYDEN! 1 2 3
see ya later chapFAGGOT!
Someone rattled birdsongs cage!
holy fuck Fagsby what the fuck was that ab
SWING THE GOD DAMN BAT HOLY GAWD I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE
ATTABOY PETE
woot woooooooot FUCK you gayant
I like Hayden, I hope he can figure it out. That was a bad walk however
>>142110811I prefer keegan desu, I do like hayden but he just seems to gear up and throw fastballs and thinks he won't get punished for it. Keegan's control issues also get him into trouble though
>>142110835Yeah Hayden has thrown some hilarious challenge FBs over the past few weeks. His numbers this season are still pretty damn good. Hopefully they can both figure it out, Keegan was really impressive his first couple years for the cubbies
Classic lol
Hayden Home Run 'Neski at it again!
GOD DAMMIT HAYDEN
I take back what I said I don’t like Hayden, sorry ass pitcher
>hayden does it againyeah dude just flat out can't pitch. He's only decent when he leads with the slider but his fastball is just a very hittable laser
>>142111177I'd say I jinxed him but he has done this his whole career aside from his first year here. He's what they call a thrower
I’d rather Fagsby be a complete hack in the field and actually good at hitting. Might be a meathead take but i swear jed overvalues defense (even if they were amazing in 2016)
>>142111189Yeah it’s flat as fuck. Even shitty mlb hitters can square that
urg
I was talking to my dad the other night and we were talking about how even a 1 run lead feels insurmountable and having “the top of the order” up means fuck all compared to 2015-2017
consistently. EVERY time there is a strikeout when you get two on base with no outs. then they never score.
you have to move the F&$*ing runner over you pieces of CRAP
So Carter Hawkins is a dud right? Cleveland are better without him
>>142111611The young pitching is great though and that's what he was designed to fix. I thought he's been terrific.
vomit inducing stuff
>>142111668the "pitching lab" stuff? I thought that was put into place before he was hired. Assad and Steele have been with the Cubs long before Carter was hired. Are you talking about prospects?
Kek wtf was morel doing?!!! Did he stand and watch the ball
>>142111877I think getting guys like Imanaga, Brown, and Horton who can hopefully contribute soon are pretty big moves. Keep in mind Horton was a low 1st early 2nd round projection. I also think going after guys like Leiter Jr and Merryweather were pretty good moves , though I'm not sure how much you can attribute to him. Also the jury is out on Taillon but he's looked very good. I don't see them having starting pitcher issues for years though.
Lol he knocked his hand off and gets him out>umpants kill yourselves
nice hit amaya and pca baserunning!
>>142112134Shota Imanaga fell into the cubs lap, he was living in Arlington Heights all winter and took less money to play for the Cubs. Hoyer originally scouted Taillon while he was working for the Padres. guess it depends on what Carter actually does, I always assumed Jed was the guy behind FA signings, and they have another guy that runs their college scouting/draft stuff. I’m pretty sure Carters claim to fame was that he was the one who scouted JRAM, and the cubs do have some exciting international prospects, so hopefully that’s what he’s bringing to the table
PCA has got wheels, luv watching him run
>>142112489>Shota Imanaga fell into the cubs lap, he was living in Arlington Heights all winter and took less money to play for the CubsYeah I'm aware of this, althugh I figured they were going to try to go after a big name starter when they didn't pick up stroman's offer so he must have always been on their radar.>guess it depends on what Carter actually doesyeah it's not exactly easy to attribute certain things to different people, even those that specialize in one aspect of the game. I just remember those late 2010s Indians teams as some of the best staffs I've seen
>>142112621and idk maybe I'm giving them more credit for picking up imanaga but it did seem like they had no intention of going after Imanaga and this could have just been them being cheap
>>142112903I’m pretty sure they had no intention to go after Imanaga, and I think the reason they didn’t was cuz they thought he was gonna get $100m+ , that’s what everyone projected him to get.
sob sigh smellinger
That was a hanger…Seiya isn’t seeing the ball well
open your damn EYES seiya!!
THATS RIGHT MAKE ME EAT MY WORDS!!!! ATTABOY SEIYA
THANK YOU BASED SEIYA!!!!
I enjoyed the tie while it lasted
THERE WE FUCKING GO MATOS
This shit is comical, what a cursed season
I mean I guess at least the Cubs could get a decent draft pick? They seemed to have nailed the last two first rounders in Cade and Shaw
I hate to say it:The FAGGOTcubs...
Seriously even with the injuries how is the bullpen this fucking bad
>>142113579it’s sad but true..
>>142113553>Cadeill be posting cades for his starts
IF THAT WAS AT WRIGLEY IT’d BE A HOMER!!!111- don’t care! FAGSBY
God damn it morel
the fuck are you doing lol
fucking A morel. Now the cubs have to lead off the next inning with Amaya
Another summer of checking the cubs minor league stats…awful shiz
One more month I think before I check out
>>142113880>no more gamethreadsSad. Also aside from the second half last year some of the most fun in this era was after the 2021 deadline when they had no expectation and wisdom ortega and schwindel were playing well.
>>142113947lol the schwindel era was fun. I’m begging the cubs to turn it around…
attaboy hodge
LETS GET SOME RUNs ,, PLEASE
GOD FUCKING DAMNIT
OH MY FUCKNG GOOOOOD
They've gotta be throwing games at this point right
>breaking one of the cardinal rules of baseballcubbie bears?
>>142114446idk if they’re throwing them but I’m starting to think this team is legitimately cursed in some way. Not like a 100 year billy goat curse but the way they’re losing is just gut wrenching
pls be tranquilo
it's that time of the game where the giants fans start showing up!
gg giants cya tmrwFAGGOTUBS lose again
just another ha-ha-haha-ha LAUGHERgg cubsbirdy looked good for a rookie’s first start, that stuff is filthy when he’s on
good game cubies
