Hey, we already won the series, and there's plenty to go today... but it does seem like one of those days where everything goes their way.

[UMFan83]

Daysball has not been very much fun this year. 2-3 if we lose this vs. 9-1 at night

[BigSlick]

Even though we're awesome now there's still going to be "it's over" posts after falling behind 2-0 in the first?

We still have 4 dudes that aren't hitting so being in a hole matters

 

we have half a lineup that "isn't hitting" and we're among the league leaders in runs and run differential? sounds like we're pretty damn good to me

as hillary likes to say "we are in vigorous agreement" here

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Way out.

[Schwarber Fan]

Even as awesome as we are, it still takes an act of God to sweep St. Louis.

Feel like we did better at night last year too.

[Banedon]

It's your day to step up, offense. PItching can't carry you every day.

[halplm]

That's one of those calls you wonder how the ump could have possibly got it wrong.

Keep pushing them goalposts.

Beat their ass the last 5 games going back to last years playoffs.. so we were due for a loss at some point ;)

[Gmoney08]

It's crazy how different the offense looks when they face pitchers who can locate on the corners (and umps willing to expand their zone to accommodate)

 

Almost every MLB pitcher will be dealing against any offense when they can hit the corners & get an expanded Kzone.

 

i know that was kind of my point.

 

Ah I thought you were complaining about the Cubs offense or something lol... glad we agree

[BigSlick]

How many other Cubs players have had as hot a start as Fowler? It's been mega impressive

Derrek Lee, 2005?

Jesus, how bad off is Schwarber? Last time I had my knee done I was out of the hospital within hours. He may be dying.

Another hard out for Heyward. Thought that was going into the corner.

[BigSlick]

Well.

why the horsefeathers is he swinging at 3-0 down 4 runs and Rizzo on deck?

[rocket]

I feel like I should play video games but for some reason I'm compelled to keep watching

[bcl412]

I don't like a 3-0 swing down 4.

[Schwarber Fan]

Absolutely horrible 3-0 green light

[Banedon]

why the [expletive] is he swinging at 3-0 down 4 runs and Rizzo on deck?

 

Zobrist hasn't done much for me so far, honestly. I'd rather have Castro, or even Baez in there right now.

hey maybe this is the first inning today where Hendricks doesnt give up 2 runs
