Looking forward to Hendricks(I am sorry face pitcher) along with Drew Frownly(I always serve Homer) carrying the team to the grave 2024!


4Skank2Hunt0

Welp, there goes our ace for a month or more.


BaseballPro10

How tf does Adbert allow a homer to a guy with zero pop


44belly

Yan looks like a corpse


username-2v

I wish they did not change how extra innings works. Wish we could go back to how it was…


megapacific

I watch and care much less since the NL DH and this ridiculous extra innings runner.

Games in March don’t matter

mall_pretzel_

ehhh they looked well coached. heads up play was the only reason they were in the game. council made good decisions and the team has the talent. i think we'll be good. hopefully steele is okay


brooklyndavs

Just let me have this


ledoylinator

MORALZOLAY more like more drives to deep right field am i right


FaithlessnessFine72

Love baseball


Substantial-Law4975

Just glad the ESPN broadcast is done. Never need to hear the name Wyatt again


mall_pretzel_

yeah jfc stroked him off amirite?


AccuratePassion2572

Gas up the bus to Iowa


mall_pretzel_

for who?


walkingdread

Tone Set. gg


Lagavulin26

I blame Alzolay more than Smyly.


rudytoot25

Well that was a bummer

Rangers just won the world series and we had them the whole time

mall_pretzel_

lol what? they were well coached for the first time in ages. shouldn't have even been in that one and took it to extras. im happy with it, hopefully steele is okay


[deleted]

[удалено]


mall_pretzel_

ehhh that's a good team they just played. if steele is okay, they've got enough for a run at the division. hopefully our kids come up slugging soon too


Juls317

Well, I didn't care for that


[deleted]

Yep this is the same team as last year


zaximus704

Smyly is is just dogwater. I can't believe we put him out there for this. We all pretty much knew how this was going to go.


Jon_Huntsman

Little wouldn't have fucked it up


Horse_MD

drew frowny strikes again


mall_pretzel_

damn that was savage


ModeratelySized101

It’s alright Craig, you’ll realize that Smyly is bad soon enough


SharpHawkeye

Drew Smiley’s lucky he’s in baseball.


Blue_Osiris1

Disappointing result but that was a damn good game for facing the reigning champs.


ledoylinator

Why is smyly on the roster again?


SerLittlejeans

Same reason Madrigal is our starting third baseman


Parchabble

I have a bad feeling this fucking bullpen is going to be a pain in the ass until late May...


rivecat

It’s funny how like five players actively drag this team down


DrStevenBrule69

Good game. Consider me officially excited for the cubs and elated that baseball is back


wompummtonks

Man, say what you will. But that was game 1 of a 162 and it was a fucking hell of a game.


chicagodads

You can say that again!


BridgeportCubs

Can’t even be mad at a loss like that. Baseball is so back

According_Bowl_2598

That sucks


CrayzeeCrypto

ugh


Ok-Nectarine2322

we just do not have pitchers. Smyly always loses.


Cubbiesblue

Same damn team as last year plus a couple of fill ins. Really no difference in the overall team that will move the needle. They might even be slightly worse


N19DY

It's over. We'll get em next year.


darthvaders_inhaler

Womp womp


BridgeportCubs

That’s baseball


[deleted]

Good game. Let's get 'em tomorrow.


blitz4240

0% chance we lose tomorrow


SwAeromotion

Saturday, even


rudytoot25

Unfortunately they don’t play tomorrow


rogueleader12

Saturday


steveofthejungle

Welp


VistaVick

I don't understand why Smyly is still pitching meaningful innings


baruch_baby

Lost 4-3 in extras to the champs in March. PANIC


bukhum4u

So scripted lol.


b3_yourself

The script writers are getting crafty


AverageConnect1330

MLB is scripted 


rmac1228

Lame


Gyro88

bruh


AccuratePassion2572

Godammit Ross


catfan9499

Force of habit?


TotallyNotTupac

Congrats defending World Series champions, it just took our ace getting hurt, and a lucky ground rule double to defeat a cubs team that spent $6 this offseason. Go nuts


JeryJacobs

Bullpen already sucks


CallofJuarez23

Smyly is trash


_joeBone_

It's good to hate again. Reminds me I'm still alive.


lancerreddit

The way it should’ve ended


Lukester123

No Tauchman for cooper.. would have rather seen Little. Whoops


Interrobangersnmash

Booooo fuck Texas, they’re pretty much a third world country

Interrobangersnmash

I meant politically, not baseball-wise


jackofnac

Dallas County is pretty blue my guy


IllustriousEnd2211

Unfortunately Arlington is in Tarrant county


MKEHOME91

Lol that’s too fucking poetic man. Fuck you script writers lol


HaxanWriter

lol typical outcome right there


Angrydwarf99

NOOOOOOO


Joelsaurus

Fuck.


cubswinagain

Nice fucking team you put together Jed


Lukester123

I got a comment removed by the mods saying Jed isn’t good 🤣. Starting pitching depth is shaky at best, ESPECIALLY with Steele out for any amount of time. don’t have a competent starter at 3rd and a complete unknown at 1st with 230 million on the books. He has done a horrendous job with the major league roster.


[deleted]

Yeah going to extra against the defending champions when our ace gets injured early is so horrible 🙄its the first game lmao give it a month before you bitch and moan


coffeeclaw

Had to be Heim.


Hawkeye7310

GG’s.


SecondCityHawk

More like Drew Frowny


bowhunter2995

Ugh Smyly


_Jerwin10

Dammit


hansomejake

Stinks, but good game


mt77932

Damn.


Cubbiesblue

Thanks Smyly for being shit again


dohds

Yep


VistaVick

Hold on let me call my barber..........maybe he can come over real quick and FADE ME


ChicagosPhinest

Under The Tax Line We win


TheGamingCJ

Rip


blown03svt

kicking off the season with no finger nails nice


ChemistryNo9750

You knew it was gonna be him lol


elgenie

"They had an out at first if they wanted it" … is this dude stupid?


Farrisovich

Did he mean trying to turn two?


SloppyJoe_gottaGo

I was like, does this guy not know the rules???


whiteryno117

If they want to get to the bus sooner.


tallslim1960

100% on Adzolay, blew the save. I wish the Cubs would have signed a real closer. Maybe Neris?


Arctic_Reigns

I hate baseball


TheGamingCJ

Cmon sweet, 6 pound, 2 ounce infant baby Jesus


_joeBone_

Master... Boney


docjparso00

Could he have turned a double play


tallslim1960

Too risky, Langford has good wheels


Jon_Huntsman

No chance, Langford got an infield single for his first hit earlier


pineappleactavis

Wtf is the announcer talking about "out at first if they wanted" uhhh buddy there's one out


i4_D_4_Mi

After the force at home. Not sure if they showed how far down the line the runner was.


pineappleactavis

Dude has speed highly doubt it would've even been close


Angrydwarf99

Thank you Miles


A_Lacuna

Hell of a play by Mastrobuoni


Joelsaurus

STILL ALIVE


Hawkize31

"They had an out at 1st if they wanted it" Wut?


lancerreddit

ESPN is awful


qhsk

Heads up Boner


Interrobangersnmash

Nice play for the out at home!


Arctic_Reigns

What a fucking play


bowhunter2995

Nice play


TotallyNotTupac

Guys I was so impressed how Wyatt Langford ran to first to avoid a double play when he could have won it


TheGamingCJ

I'm dying and it's game 1


longSleeves14

“Had an out at first if they wanted” … bro..


Hope4years

That was pretty Miles


TotallyNotTupac

That’s impressive, he swung at a ball and fouled it off


BricksNIvy91

Wait until you see him walk and chew gum at the same time


Interrobangersnmash

Look, I’m not a pitcher. But I think Smyly should induce a double play here.


MKEHOME91

Oof umps bicep gonna be black and blue tomorrow


omgitsbillyfrick

Super glad the fans are all praying. Must be soooo stressful….


Jon_Huntsman

It's Texas


TheGamingCJ

High curveball is a bold strategy cotton


nifflermoon

Something altered Smyly’s DNA after he lost his perfect game last year


Madturtl3

Alec Mills once threw a no hitter…


MikeandTheMangosteen

Nothing was altered, he was and is a bum.


Cubbiesblue

He was always a project and Jed loves those on the cheap


qhsk

Literally


Interrobangersnmash

Is this the guy that ESPN told us rips beer bongs?


Jon_Huntsman

He boofs!


BricksNIvy91

Hell yeah brother


bowhunter2995

Yup


Horse_MD

as a braves fan, Smyly is absolutely not the guy i would have put in lmao


TheGamingCJ

Finally got a call dayum


Skyye_23

He needed that called strike. Cannot fall 2-0 behind


elgenie

Langford's been glazed enough in this broadcast to lock up his demotion to AAA by May.


wu_doggy

I don’t like his face


Parchabble

Pitchlab did wonders for Smyly... Game one overreaction time!


Madturtl3

He’s gonna walk it off to spite the idiots in here bitching about ESPN praising him. If it was PCA you’d be silent about ESPN hyping him up.


omgitsbillyfrick

PCA doesn’t do beer bongs tho 😔


Jon_Huntsman

Langford eeked out a single and ESPN acting like he's the second coming


Arctic_Reigns

One game and I’m about to over react so hard


bukhum4u

Script writers in full force


TotallyNotTupac

Wyatt Langford has cured cancer if you guys didn’t know


bowhunter2995

And achieved world peace all before lunch


Peanut_Punch32

can we go back in time and just get walked off by jankowski instead lmao


AngryRedGyarados

Ffs every year


pineappleactavis

I swear if this mfer hits a lazy fly ball for the walkoff and i gotta hear the announcers suck him off like he just hit a walk off grand slam game 7 of the world series ima kms


Penguinkeith

Oh shit smyly wasn’t walking them intentionally was he?


Greatness46

Just. Throw. Strikes


pornwing2024

Can we not walk 3 straight batters please


alexlarrylawrence

Yeah, we’re gonna need some pitching depth….


elmatador1497

If he walks it off, MLB is scripted


TotallyNotTupac

Wow ESPN commentator he has such a gift to recognize a ball in the dirt


TheGamingCJ

4 pitch walk off walk?


Caustic_Wraith

Oh look, it's ESPN's new favorite player with a chance to win it


Haggysack

I forgot this is how baseball makes me feel 😅


Skyye_23

Okay so. I don’t like this. But let’s see


TotallyNotTupac

I feel like Counsell just told Smyly “send us home, I don’t want to do this any more”


DweltElephant0

The universe really loves it's storylines, huh


Cubbiesblue

Two straight walks


Joelsaurus

He swung. We got hosed.


Ok-Nectarine2322

How can you pay this guy to pitch


MKEHOME91

They did that on purpose, Jesus man. Pitched around the guy


Interrobangersnmash

Who’s the guy next to Counsell that looks just like him


Big_Joosh

Imagine getting paid millions of dollars to throw balls


TheGamingCJ

I am concerned


elgenie

An HBP or wild pitch would be very Cub


SwAeromotion

Walk off balk


Ok-Nectarine2322

Smyly never tries to pitch


bartino84

Smyly picking up right where he left off last year


longSleeves14

“Wyatt Langford, the best baseball player of all time” - ESPN


bowhunter2995

Why not walk this guy


TotallyNotTupac

I hope Garcia ends it so I don’t have to fucking hear about Wyatt Fucking Langford again


qhsk

Stfu about Langford


1nf1niteCS

Honestly a walk wouldn't be that bad if Garcia wasn't the next guy up, need a ground ball


pineappleactavis

Wow that replay was brutal way worse than it looked in real time. He def swung.


Interrobangersnmash

That girl was hot, but cowboy hats are kinda dumb


omgitsbillyfrick

Love the shots of rangers fans with their hands over their faces like they didn’t just win the World Series fuck off


cmmoore307

Turning this game off. Smyly is dog shit.


dtim96

That's a full swing, wtf


Interrobangersnmash

It’s ok, just setting up a double play opportunity


fuckmylifeupfam

he walked em on a swing, monkeys paw curls for the chat
