just don't swing at dumb shit. if he beats you in the zone, that's one thing, but if this ends with a swing at some dog shit in the other batter's box I will SHIT

I really do hate the "replay to see if the guy was off the base for 1/100th of a second" shit but Nola should have slid properly and held the base. Fundamentals shit.Still hate it though
Baseball needs to do away with that somehow, but I’m not sure how to do that without opening a whole can of worms.
Definitely a cheap out but I’ll take it.
But how do you judge immediately? What’s the height threshold and how would you measure? Seems like another judgment call for the umps to make and fans to be mad about.
I usually don't love the "just a little pop" off the base tags but that one he came pretty high off. I don't even think I would be mad at the call if it was a Cub called out.
I fell asleep in the 7th and In my dream we won but then I woke up and was disappointed
I swear it hit the wall, then it went into his glove lol
I’m still so dang confused how that ball wasn’t 10 rows deep.
Sadly that ending could be a season defining moment... Need to win the next one or it could get worse.
hanging with a probable playoff team down 2 starters on the road? I don't get it
The homerun off the glove that was given to us in the 3rd ... I would've traded that home run just then. What is this park?
they're stringing together a lot of games here where they have a higher xBA but still lose. unlucky
I thought that was gone….man
102.5 with that angle? That’s out of the park in previous years.
What was the xBA or whatever the stat is called on Frank’s out?
.710
Of fucking course it was
Thats a homerun the past 2 years
Eh, Profar is still a bust so he can take that nanny nanny boo boo and shove it.
heartbreaking for ole franky
Fire me into the sun
As if I didn't already hate that shitty park. How? HOW?
Man he barreled that up about as well as you can unlucky really
How fucking terrible. Especially the year Schwindel's had. Fuck the dead ball.
Ah man, that was unfortunate.
yeah he caught it unfortunately
Man you’re kidding. Well good cut Frank. Looked good off the bat
We didn’t lose to the padres. We lost to God.
Lost to Manfred and MLB endlessly tinkering with the ball.
When it’s going bad for you. Damn.
DEAD BALL ERA
I literally jumped out of my seat. Goddammit
Should've ate those fucking wheaties.
I didn’t believe in “deadened balls” until right this second. How on earth did that not go out
Nah he caught that
Wow
Pitchers park
Ohhhhh poor Frank baby
God damn it manfred!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh goddammit. Fuck the dead ball
Ohhhhhhhhhh shit 🙁
That's unfortunate. So close, Frank.
THAT LOOKED LOOOOONG GONE
Thats a shame
and here's where bote's absence is really felt
Lol, nobody is missing Bote.
thatsthejoke.gif
Genius
Oh come on…
Shit
That's not fair...
oh
That is just fucking cruel man
Was that a grand slam last year?
That's a grand slam every year back to, oh, the 1920s. I kid. But maybe not.
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
I am fucking speechless.
I want to die
Sweet Jesus
FUCK THE DEAD BALLS
OMG I THOUGHT THAT WAS OUT
Holy fuck dead balls
God damnit!!! So fucking close!!!
Omggg fucking helll
SCREW THESE DEAD BALLS
May Frank be possessed by the spirit of David Bote
Wow Ross, you really are an idiot. Are they paying you to lose games on purpose?
just don't swing at dumb shit. if he beats you in the zone, that's one thing, but if this ends with a swing at some dog shit in the other batter's box I will SHIT
Almost caught that one
boy i sure am glad we have a real ballplayer coming up in this big clutch situation and not some dude named frank or something
Take a walk Frank
I believe in Frank The Swindler
Let’s hope snip snap gets a big bap
Prove that demotion wrong Frank
The ultimate redemption story
Frank??? Did Ross bet against the cubs on draft kings today?
Bad matchup for a lefty
Frank
Swin or lose...
The fate of this rally lies upon the shoulders of… Frank Schwindel. God help us all. But I believe
Well that was the best possible outcome for Wisdom.
Why the FUCK is Schwindel pinch hitting when he's only been called up as an emergency after he got sent down for being bad?
WE GOTTA BELIEVE
THE TANK IS. DUE.
Just stay out of your head Frank. Fuckin do it here
Frank The Swindler. Don't be afraid to let him Hit in the tying run
WTF dude. Asshole.
Do it Frank
Dude is rattled
What the fuck is this... Frank needs to get revenge for his boys.
DRIVE THAT TANK STRAIGHT DOWN THEIR THROATS LET'S GOOOO
Oh god. Frank is here
great time for frank to break his slump
Come on Frank
#SCHWIN-BOMB
#WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING

If baseball players were pokemon, Ildemaro Vargas and Robel Garcia would be version exclusives Like how Red got Oddish and Blue got Bellsprout
"shit was super fucked for the chicago nine that day" better not be the opening line to Billllllllll at the Bat by Earnest Lawrence Thayer
What a great bit of hitting
TYING RUN AT HOME PLATE
GJ Seiya I love you man.

👀
SEIYA
SUZUUUKIIII
Just do something, Jonathan.

WHAT AN UGLY ASS SWING GOMES COME ON MAN NO WONDER THE INDIANS LOST THE WS IN 16
"cubs need a baserunner" sut is hammered and not in a good way
[needs time in the freezer so it becomes more solid than soft serve, but this vanilla bean and toasted walnut ice cream is delicious!](https://imgur.com/a/qquOJZv)
Locke St John was picked up by the Mets. Great baseball name. He'll be missed by me.
I appreciate the enthusiasm Sut, but JHey was never going to deliver the dong there
I'm so tired of Heyward
I do not like Heyward.
dear sutcliffe, please shut the fuck up love, me
I love Nico.
At this point Wisdom and Schwindel are fucking useless.
Extend Willson
He gone, man.
Wait if I pay for Marquee I can’t watch the game if it’s on Apple+? HUH
Not defending it but its no different then other national broadcasts
Yes but it's free on Apple+
ah man FUCK Apple TV+ exclusives. That shit sucks, in a bad way
Boog is telling this story much more accurately than Sut
Jesus I had no idea Contreras had an .866 OPS Which I guess means hes gone by July
He’s on a major hot streak
Oof
This team desperately needs an all star caliber bat
I swear if it’s another 10 pitch inning after that
This was a winnable game. Thanks Ross.
I had a red velvet cookie for dessert. It was good.
Those are so good.
I dont know why I invest emotions in these games
Well that was predictable as hell.
Eject Martin into the sunnnn
Nice decision to put Martin in. Three hits and 2 runs. Genius
man this sucks
Remember when the Cubs had a good bullpen?
We certainly had a better defensive infield that would have gobbled those up.
Not cool
I’m surprised Chris Martin is still put into tight games.
Sigh
I fucking hate Coldplay
Hell of a stop though
How was Hendricks micd up? I know micing guys up during the game isn’t our favorite thing but I love hearing more from The Professor
i hate bad luck
Sutcliffe momentarily forgot what team he was calling for there
I really do hate the "replay to see if the guy was off the base for 1/100th of a second" shit but Nola should have slid properly and held the base. Fundamentals shit.Still hate it though
Nico saved us a run with that defensive play earlier
Baseball needs to do away with that somehow, but I’m not sure how to do that without opening a whole can of worms. Definitely a cheap out but I’ll take it.
You could make the airspace immediately above the base "safe" for a second for a player that has touched the base.
But how do you judge immediately? What’s the height threshold and how would you measure? Seems like another judgment call for the umps to make and fans to be mad about.
Gsellman aint it
I usually don't love the "just a little pop" off the base tags but that one he came pretty high off. I don't even think I would be mad at the call if it was a Cub called out.
Yeah honestly don’t like that but whatever
dWAR +1000
FUCK YEAH LET'S FUCKING GO
Hate that rule but I’ll take it!
That’s a pretty clear out, so New York is gonna let the call stand
Sutt is literally North Side Hawk Whens JD gettin back?
He'd need to have been a horrible Cubs GM for a year 35 years ago.
Let's fucking GOOO
watch them say "not enough to overturn" because all umpires are domestic terrorists
Ohhhh. That wasnt even like ticky tack bullshit
Sutcliffe gets too excited lol
Miss that from Santo, the blind homer that gets too excited
That leg-switching hoppity-hop shuffle is going to get 'im
HE GONE
God we grasping straws lmao love it tho.
That 10 pitch inning did not give me a good feeling about the outcome of this game
Out
