IST: Cubs @ Astros

It was most likely a semi off day for him. They are on a 26 games out of 27 days run. Most off the issues IMO are fatigue right now.

Weird, stupid scheduling.
They will have NINE days off in July. That's ridiculous.

Its pretty clear the two monstrosities in the outfield is changing the effects of the wind.

I've heard farts that make more sense than the above response......

 

[Omeletpants]

Len and DJ should be this honest

He’s talking about the Jumbotron and I think it has obviously blocked wind and allowed balls to travel better to left field since it’s been put in

I agree it is excessive but don’t forget that the all star break is probably 4 days or so

It is four, and that is understandable.

But the additional five days is far more than any other month but April, and comes at the same time as the all star break. It’s senseless.

Yeah it’s definitely ridiculous. Can’t wait for 40 straight days of games come August and September again lol

what the flying **** is with MAddon DH'ing Javy again?

Then you are just stupid if you do not think the video boards are not stopping the wind.

 

[CSF77]

Think we might take this one.

Im not sure why you flip out so easily, but Javy hurt his foot a week ago. At one point, he could barely run. Joe is taking the oppurtunity to rest him on it and the fact that Javy is going to play 97% of the games this year. Calm down

I think the flipping out is twofold-
1. We worsen the D and 2. Javy's head is not in the game.

 

[TL1961]

I will continue to beat my dead horse.

Because we are missing Bryant and Zobrist, playing an AL team results in adding Descalso's bat AND glove.

Yikes.

 

[TL1961]

Joe says Javy has a little trouble moving laterally, and thus he sits on D.

You could see it. It was a good time to sit him and still have his bat.

You might want to go back and get your GED, work on English and how to communicate. The scoreboards are not in the "outfield", they're behind the bleachers. But I will give you high marks on living up to your screen name.

This is really stupid. I have the mlb package and cable. I can not watch the Cubs game because the Astros are blacked out to me. I can watch the Rangers since they come on cable, but the Astros do not and I still cant watch them unless I stream from Reddit. Absolutely stupid. But but, I can watch them on ESPN and MLB Network. Stupid fucking rules

And Willy swung at a ball that was in his eyes when it released.

 

[SilenceS]

One handed and off the end of the bat. Balls are juiced. That went 360 feet.

 

[SilenceS]

Walk and hit batter cost us a run, but that double was ridiculous. Lester made his pitch
