Don't worry. All you've missed is that your pitcher is a better hitter than Kris Bryant.

Theo called me and said they are DFA'ing him after the game.

 

[Angry Grimace]

That ace-pitcher defense =V

 

[darkside31337]

Kris Bryant is next in the long line of Cubs' busts. As a favor, the Royals will take him off your hands.

Still glad the Cubbies gave us Chris Archer for Matt Garza.

That's a rough fate for out-hitting your franchise savior.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Epic defense this inning.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Epic defense this inning.

Yeah. That Shields throw was awful.

 

[Angry Grimace]

You can tell I've been watching Padres teams for too long since 2-0 is typically an insurmountable lead to overcome.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Lol @ the Padres feed showing Bryant in college at USD and adding in "bat crack" sound effect since "ping" doesn't sound very attractive. I'd be surprised if they give him much to hit this entire game.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

BREAKING: Bryant took a ball

 

[Confrontation]

Shields threw some absolute filth at Bryant today. Damn.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Good D so far by Bryant.

[Angry Grimace]

Walk him.

 

[brianjones]

KKK Bryant

 

[Angry Grimace]

If only Shields made the rest of the lineup look like Bryant.

 

[Shake Appeal]

9-1 with a walkoff. I love this season. I love everything about it.

 

[Confrontation]

Fuck the Tigers.

 

[zychi]

Rest of the team is looking great

 

[Lambtron]

Kris Bryant sucks. Trade him before his value plummets.

Torii+Santana work?

 

[rando14]

Fuck the Tigers.

Look at the brightside brother!! Their team babip is like 380, their offensive production is insanely unsustainable and they will come back to earth

Spoiler

Mariners is 210, we at the bottom, nowhere to go but UP!! :')

 

[Dominican Power]

White Sox lol

9-1 with a walkoff. I love this season. I love everything about it.

I still don't know how Ventura didn't challenge and get the obvious out at second.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Congratulations to Kris Bryant for tying Tony Gwynn for career games with three strikeouts!

You're right, positive thoughts. It's still April. Cavs in the playoffs, a long way away from watching the Browns play and the Indians aren't mathematically out of the postseason yet. It's like the best time of year.

I still don't know how Ventura didn't challenge and get the obvious out at second.

I thought he missed the tag?

 

[Tragicomedy]

Congratulations to Kris Bryant for tying Tony Gwynn for career games with three strikeouts!

He's following a Hall of Fame trajectory, for sure!

Cubs fans already heckling Bryant with "You suck!" Go Cubs! Enjoy the next 106 years of losing.

 

[VRMN]

I don't know if the White Sox feed was different, but the Detroit feed was definitive. Ramirez got Castellanos on the toe. He was out.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Wow, Daniel Bryan getting screwed on that call and it cost him!

 

[Alex Anderson]

LOL blown strike three call followed by a 3-run BOMB

 

[Confrontation]

Holy shit. Unlucky Cubbies.

 

[zychi]

Joe is officially a Cub. Thrown out for a bullshit pitch call.

Welcome to Chicago Joe!

 

[Alex Anderson]

u maddon?

 

[thefro]

Joe is officially a Cub. Thrown out for a bullshit pitch call.

Welcome to Chicago Joe!

There was a strike (at least clearly one with how the ump is calling it today) called a ball before both Padres home runs today.

 

[Confrontation]

I don't know if the White Sox feed was different, but the Detroit feed was definitive. Ramirez got Castellanos on the toe. He was out.

Yea, I had the Detroit feed on. Only watched the initial couple of replays instantly after it happened, and you couldn't see it there. Stepped out of the room and when I came back a little bit later, it just finished another replay of that play. Must've just missed it

 

[zychi]

There was a strike called a ball before both Padres home runs today.

"All 5 runs!"

 

[Angry Grimace]

Protip: when you don't get an obvious call, don't throw it right down the pipe to prove your point.

This tip brought to you by Angry Grimace™

But in fairness, home plate ump's strike zone is fucking absurd today. Its got random holes like swiss chese and then randomly extends 5 inches off the plate.

 

[zychi]

Vine rule is dumb when there is no leaves. Lol

Cubs fans mad about their own ground rules

Its not hidden or lost. Its in plain sight. It makes sense when theres leaves lol

 

[Angry Grimace]

Its not hidden or lost. Its in plain sight. It makes sense when theres leaves lol

Its in plain sight to you, but not necessarily the fielders. As Myers runs past he doesn't necessarily know where it is.

 

[Alex Anderson]

If that hit Myers' glove (looked like it did to me on one of the replays) before hitting the wall I wonder if the ground rule should still apply?

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Fucking brian schlitter man. And the ump is shit.

 

[zychi]

Its in plain sight to you, but not necessarily the fielders.

Nah. Fielder did the right thing because its the rule. But it should be adjusted for when theres no ivy.

 

[Confrontation]

Nah. Fielder did the right thing because its the rule. But it should be adjusted for when theres no ivy.

Agreed.

 

[Angry Grimace]

That doesn't make any difference when a ball hits a fielders glove and goes into the stands in foul territory.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Oh god Bryant's gonna shit himself.

 

[Confrontation]

Stop hyping the kid up, Cubs guys.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Walk Rizzo to pitch to Bryant? The disrespect. lol

 

[Tragicomedy]

Intentionally walking Rizzo to get to Strikeout King Kris Bryant.

:edit: Well, he didn't strikeout! Think positive.

Spoiler

5 left on base.

 

[Angry Grimace]

I wish they would limit the number of times I have to look at Scott Boras' face.
