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 13,531]

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 474]

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 9,000]

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 7,929]

Garcia games feel like they take forever.

[Scraps 13,531]

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

[Guadaloopy 10,903]

Garcia playing with fire.   

[runthebone 7,929]

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 7,929]

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

[WBT 20,397]

No longer a clean Machin

[Scraps 13,531]

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 9,369]

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

Bregman should have to do pushups for every popup

[tx 3 putt 76,158]

damn

[David Dennison 18,601]

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

 

[Scraps 13,531]

Well that wasn't a pop up

[David Dennison 18,601]

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

 

[Gut Wagon 8,052]

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 4,449]

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

[tx 3 putt 76,158]

no doubter 

[WBT 20,397]

Bloody hell

[runthebone 7,929]

Fuck you for fucking around, Garcia

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

[David Dennison 18,601]

I think that hung up just a little.

gotdamn walks

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

[Guadaloopy 10,903]

[runthebone 7,929]

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

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1,549]

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 14,446]

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

[D3zii 3,637]

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

 

[rvm96 1,643]

Well that half inning sucked 

[clapclapclap 9,000]

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

[Honeysucklerose 957]

Absurd

[Gut Wagon 8,052]

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? 

[elfenix 34,167]

Son of a fucking bitch
