6/21 World Champion Cubs (Butler) vs Padres (Diaz) 1:20 CT WGN/MLBN/670

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Yeah take Butler out because of a bad play by Bryant

Butler wasn't exactly great himself. also he was over 90 pitches so it shouldn't be a huge controversy

I think Joe begins every Butler start ready to pull him at the first real sign of trouble whether its the 3rd or the 7th inning.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

oh my god that call by coomer might be his worst ever

 

Details, please.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Grimm is making me not hate him as much

[We Got The Whole 9]

Grimm rising on the pen totem. That was huge.

Those are good points and he did look like his usual ugly somehow effective self...

[Ding Dong Johnson]

stupid near DONG

[David]

beyond description. you have to hear it.

[Schwarber Fan]

Mark Grant is so salty about Contreras blocking the plate last inning and now is mocking Willy's bat flip.

[17 Seconds]

that's like the 4th time this week willson mistakenly thought he had a homer

he hasn't been usually effective, he sucks

[Sammys Boombox]

I watch games on DIRECTV Extra Innings. I think I likely get different commercials because this year I no longer get any local Chicago commercials and the formatting of the screen is all messsed up. Anyway, every commercial is a PSA about kids dying, people overdosing, homeless/injured veterans, etc. It really makes watching the games quite depressing.

the product on the field has been doing it for me

?

 

He has a 4.19 ERA, and if the Cubs hold on here, they'd be 5-3 in games started by Butler. I think his description is apt.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

good to see KB running into brick walls

[David]

wtf eric aybar

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I'm genuinely shocked to see Duensing's numbers being somewhat respectable. he always seems to give up a bunch of runs when I see him pitch

[Cubswin11]

Duensing reminds me of when we had James Russell and he was good/getting results. His numbers were fine but watching him pitch always made me anxious with a feeling that he wasn't as good as the numbers show.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I remember when I declared KB fixed after he doubled. I was so naive back then

He and Russell popped up center-cut junk today

[squally1313]

We have a great bullpen but I'm concerned that they will be overworked by the playoffs. Too many sub 5 inning stars

 

11th in bullpen innings going into today. A bit of a concern, but we seem to lean on different guys for stretches and are pretty deep overall, so hopefully no one hits a wall.

 

Flip side of that is Washington, who has 12 less bullpen innings than any other team. Dusty gonna Dusty.

That's not too bad. I was looking at Quality starts when I posted that, where we are 25th in the league.

[UMFan83]

2 freaking hits through 7 innings against the dregs of the Padres pitching staff.

[Sammy Sofa]

Some dude named Corey Bangarang just got a hit.

[UMFan83]

stupid horsefeathering game
