Some real screwy ass finishes already early in the season.

It's almost like the Umps don't know what their doing. Hmmmm.

Imagine patting your glove with this dude on the basepath lol

Spoilered for mini rant.

Spoiler: show

Do you know how many games are going to be on ESPN between now and the end of the season? 20.. 20!! The rest are behind a FUCKING paywall! There are a few on Fox and stuff but this is such bullshit!

Contreras has been hit by Brewers pitchers 7 times in 12 games including twice in the last series and once in the head.

Cue Woodruff being a massive fucking baby the minute a ball comes anywhere near him:

[archibaldcrane]

Contreras swung into getting hit lol, obviously not intentional, but the Cubs felt the need to be babies and "send a message" by throwing at Woodruff.

[Obsidian]

He's been hit 7 times in 13 games by several Brewers pitchers. None of them are on purpose but you can't tell me he's swung into all 8 of these, including the one that drilled him in the head on the weekend.



The strategy is clearly to pitch him inside, but they can't just keep beaning him and expect nothing to happen.

[archibaldcrane]

So if they aren't throwing at him intentionally, why throw at the Brewers pitcher intentionally?

[NynJa]

Archi's a Brewers stan, what do you expect?

[Obsidian]

So if they aren't throwing at him intentionally, why throw at the Brewers pitcher intentionally?

To tell them if they want to pitch him inside they should probably stop hitting him if they don't want to know what getting hit 7 times in 13 games feels like.

If BRAUN got beaned 7 times in 13 games against the same team, he would be livid.

[Xno Kappa]

Getting hit 7 times in 13 games by the same team is bullshit no matter how you spin it. Someone is getting plunked.

For real lol

[Obsidian]

If BRAUN got beaned 7 times in 13 games against the same team, he would be livid.

It would never happen though, BRAUN would just hit a dinger with his elbow each time.

So if they aren't throwing at him intentionally, why throw at the Brewers pitcher intentionally?

As a warning to back the fuck off the plate. This happens between teams all the time. If player from Team A gets beaned repeatedly in a short period of time, then yeah a warning shot is going to get fired saying enough is enough, if you can't control pitching him inside, stop it or we're going to bonk you in return.

He'd just steal second, nbd

Sounds like Contreras is the one who needs to stop crowding the plate tbh

Corbin BURNES is now the first player in MLB history with 30+ strikeouts and 0 walks through his first 3 starts of a season.
