I mean they scored 5 runs in the first 3 innings and went dead cold after against a guy that was on the ropes. They still score in spurts and then go quiet.

ok this isn't an actual thing

 

teams don't just score consistently and steadily every few innings or whatever the hell you want. would you feel better if schwarber's HR had come in the 7th or something?

 

 

anyway, that's 5 runs the last 3 games and a pretty good 4.57 over the last 7

[halplm]

Good news, Vogelsong sucks... bad news, Buster's gonna be in the lineup... I will be upset if the Cubs don't score a bunch on Vogelsong.

 

Obviously I'm pulling for Bryant for rookie of the year, but today's game was kind of a tossup. Hopefully this game Bryant brings his "A" game.

 

Go Cubs!

do a good job

As long as Schwarber is Bryce Harper yeah they're in pretty good shape

[Schwarber Fan]

Schwarber better be in LF today. Wouldn't be opposed to Cogs at 2B either.

[JonJayCutler]

Vogelsong has allowed 13 HRs to LHB this year.

 

What needs to happen: Coghlan in LF, Schwarber at C

What is likely to happen: Schwarber in LF, Ross at C

What better not happen: Coghlan in LF, Ross at C

Might be a dumb question but does anyone know why all the Cubs tickets are yanked off Stubhub the day of the game? And as a follow up, does anyone know of something besides Craigslist to find tickets? Need to get two for today and I figure there has to be a better way than refreshing CL every 5 minutes.

I think that's an arbitrary StubHub thing, there may be more to it but otherwise it's probably about their ability to guarantee delivery. Here's a link with some aggregated results: https://seatgeek.com/giants-at-cubs-tickets/8-7-2015-chicago-illinois-wrigley-field/mlb/2414124/

well he's back

[Guest]

obligatory maybe it's some other guy joke

[Schwarber Fan]

Not that Montero's bat isn't better than Szczur's but with Ross starting today, what's the point of activating him?

[Guest]

If Montero is ready, why would you not? Szczur isn't going to start either way.

[Schwarber Fan]

Just thinking about late game defense with Schwarber hopefully out there and Soler... being Soler.
