Also, supposedly Contreras was hugging every Cub during the handshake line after today's win.

Could just be he’s shocked they won a game.

Probably his last game at Wrigley. The Cubs are on the road until the deadline.

Hugging is fine…

but if I see tears…ala Graveman, gtfo

 

[Scraps 13561]

They said last night Altuve was already getting a day off today so don't everyone freak out about him not being in the lineup.

Anything else fire away

Most likely. Wasn't aware that was the case when I posted.

I'd only take him if they threw in Happ and Robertson, too.

[BrickTop 477]

Wilson Contreras has a lot of power, and is a pretty damn good hitter, not sure about his defense.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Another catcher is way low on the priority list for me. Do better Click.

Bregman is Yiddish for pop out. 

[clapclapclap 9000]

Crap, I don't see Altuve!  Rumor he fell of the Golden Gate Bridge!

Edited July 27, 2022 by clapclapclap
Or maybe traded

After showing signs of life in June he seems like he’s sucked the last 2 weeks or so. I’m pulling this out of my ass too lazy to look up numbers.

He had been pretty good for about 5 weeks until this one.  Like .815 OPS

[runthebone 7982]

Garcia games feel like they take forever.

[Scraps 13561]

Tucker needs to go deep tonight....maybe twice

[Guadaloopy 10971]

Garcia playing with fire.   

[runthebone 7982]

We are helping the As get a better prospect for Montas.

Yeah but what about the week directly before the all star break and this one. I feel like a lot of that line is being carried by what he did 3-5 weeks ago. 

[runthebone 7982]

Forget Contreras, we need a defensive catcher so Machete can concentrate on his hitting.

[WBT 20572]

No longer a clean Machin

[Scraps 13561]

A's have their #1 pick in the booth.

"What's it going to be like to play in front of less people than you did in college?"

[UTexasFight 9450]

Yordan will not be gruntled by the balanced schedule next year.

Bregman should have to do pushups for every popup

[tx 3 putt 76958]

damn

[David Dennison 18860]

Walking Yordan to get to Bregman seems like a wise decision these days.

 

[Scraps 13561]

Well that wasn't a pop up

[David Dennison 18860]

Alex Bregman is 4 for 39 against A's pitching this year.

 

[Gut Wagon 8069]

We won't get far in October unless Bregman and Tucker hit much better than they have lately. Even if whoever is behind 44 is hot, I'd still pitch way around him most of the time. 

[cabowabo 4484]

Thank God we won’t see these mother fuckers in the playoffs. 

[tx 3 putt 76958]

no doubter 

[WBT 20572]

Bloody hell

Fuck you for fucking around, Garcia

per that post game caller, trade overrated bregman and overrated tucker to the nationals for soto !

[David Dennison 18860]

I think that hung up just a little.

gotdamn walks

[clapclapclap 9000]

There can be no doubt that Fiers gave the A's pictures and receipts.

[Guadaloopy 10971]

[runthebone 7982]

Fucking lost his concentration and now our anemic ass offense needs a miraculous comeback.

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

can't blame Odo for this inning.  A's and Royals hitters have the magic against this team; lucky they won't be playoff opponents. 

[HtownHorn 14682]

This lead feels like 12 with this shit lineup. We need 2 bats.

[D3zii 3680]

Least we probably won’t see the A’s in the playoffs!!! 
 

 

[rvm96 1643]

Well that half inning sucked 

[clapclapclap 9000]

Silver lining:  No more late nite games except for a weekend in Sept.

[Honeysucklerose 989]

Absurd

[Gut Wagon 8069]

Two nights in a row we start guys who, in the grand scheme of things, really aren't quite good enough to be in our rotation. Not saying they're bums, because at times they've pitched well. But the truth is, if you can't pitch them against teams like this, what good are they?
