07/29 CUBS (Samardzija) vs Milwaukee (Lohse) 7:05 CDT CSN

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have homered in 17 of their last 20 games (12-8).

 

 

.... and Lord knows we could use one right here !!!

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Guest]

Here's hoping for a walkoff.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 6-4 (.600) when they are tied at the end of the 8th inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 0-5 (.000) when they don't score any runs.... 48-50 (.490) when they do

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Schwarber Fan]

Man, if Strop and Gregg both pitch tonight, we're gonna see way too much Bowden, Rondon and Sanchez tomorrow

[Schwarber Fan]

Strop's tired.

[InconspicuousZ28]

Let's not blow this game in the 9th, please.

[Fred Hornkohl]

When's the last time the CUBS turned a triple play ?

It wasn't with a guy of Gomez's speed at the plate.

[Castros trade value]

Boo?

[Schwarber Fan]

Well that's enough Cubs for the night. Hopefully they sweep that DH tomorrow

[Guest]

Russell has thrown 10 pitches in the last week. Parker hasn't pitched since Thursday. Strop pitched the last 2 nights and threw 17+ pitches in both outings. But Russell gets one hitter in the 8th and Strop throws the 9th?

[Guest]

Why do we continue to not take outs when they're being given to us?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time Milwaukee beat the CUBS 1-0.........

Because Sveum cannot manage a bullpen.

[Guest]

nevermind, they blow

[Guest]

And that should do it.

[Cubswin11]

Sveum's bullpen management this year has been nothing short of inept and his job should be up for review because of it at seasons end

[Schwarber Fan]

Most obnoxious half inning of the season

THIS

 

anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional.

[Fred Hornkohl]

The folks who are really delusional..... are the ones that think they can make chicken salad out of chicken [expletive].

[Fred Hornkohl]

[sigh]

[Schwarber Fan]

Even pre Guerrier and Strop, Sveum was making some really bad decisions. Pitching Marmol in save spots (whether or not that came from the FO), under-utilizing Russell, putting Camp into big spots when other guys were pitching much better, the list goes on and on.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Give him a bullpen.... then get back to me.

[Schwarber Fan]

I'm pretty content with the current one. Take just tonight for example. Strop and Gregg have each pitched 3 days consecutively, and what does Dale do? Use Russell for 1 out in a 0-0 game that could have potentially gone deep into extra innings PLUS a doubleheader on top of that.
