IST: Cubs @ White Sox

[TL1961]

Many times it is fun to watch a player's emotional response to a play (when not prematurely choreographed).

But it is equally enjoyable to watch Hendricks be so unemotional. No matter how big an out, he simply walks off like he's walking down the aisle of the grocery store.

 

[TL1961]

Strike to rizzo at the laces. 1-1.

 

[TL1961]

Lots of hard hit balls vs Nova.

Let's get some runs out of it.

 

[zack54attack]

Love leadoff doubles that don't come in to score!

 

[SilenceS]

Ump is all over the place. That was strike three last inning.

 

[zack54attack]

How was that not strike 3 to Jay?!

 

[zack54attack]

And of course Eloy.

 

[choyne35]

And of course Eloy.

I don’t know why that can’t score off Nova. Guys with terrible ERA’s look like randy Johnson and Pedro Martinez against them

Do you ever actually watch a game? He is no where near looking good against them. They have smoked balls all game. They have missed three home runs by a combined foot. They have peppered the ball straight at defenders. What they have done is not get the runs in. But, he is in no way looking like a stud pitcher against them

Yes I do watch the games when they are on tv down here in Tennessee which isn’t very often also I’m working today and can only check the scores on my phone but the end result is runs, you don’t win with more hits or hard hit balls so doesn’t matter if it’s a shutout via a no hitter or with 10 hits

 

[zack54attack]

Cy Nova out there!

I read where they had a leadoff double but failed to score there so get the guy over to 3rd on the first out and hit one of those “almost home runs you mentioned and there ya go 1 run right there

 

[choyne35]

Cy Nova out there!

It’s a goose egg through 5 no matter how
You slice it and I would gladly take that from Any of the cubs starters no matter how many hits or hard hit outs he’s allowed.

Tremendous analysis. Glad you thought that out.

 

[SilenceS]

Brad Bach is fucking terrible.

 

[choyne35]

Brach “Candy” Ass is in now and promptly gives up a homer. Well this game is over. Did Hendricks throw over 100 pitches or what? I mean I know he’s coming back from a minor injury but why in the world did he only go 4?

Don't simultaneously discuss how the opposing pitcher looks while explaining why you can't see the game.

If you can't see Nova, don't tell us how the Cubs are making him look.

 

[TL1961]

Rosario threw three pitches, and got two outs on easy ground balls, but we had to make a change, so it is now 3-0 instead of 2-0.

 

[choyne35]

Brad Bach is fucking terrible.

He’s tremendous! Why so negative sir mod? How about my spot on prediction of a 3-6 road trip?? Yeah I told ya

It’s still a shutout!! Get that through your thick skull dude. It’s 0 runs through 5 and last I checked that is the most and only meaningful column of the 3
