9/4 Cubs (Arrieta) at Pirates (Kuhl) 3:05 ABC7

[CyHawk_Cub]

None of them do

[Bryants Disco Ball]

We have had a lot of injuries.

 

eh, yeah, but they've all been minor (to major players) relatively...we've been lucky in that regard. seems like many times we've had scares and the diagnosis has been better than expected. we'll see with this one.

 

other teams have had their share...nats lost eaton for the year, turner for a long time, pitchers have had issues on and off. dodgers have had a ton of issues with their rotation (cue TT), including losing the best pitcher in the game for several weeks.

 

OK. Good points. I was just thinking Hendricks, Lester, maybe Arrieta, Willson, Addy, Heyward all DL and then minor ones to KB and Javy.

 

But that probably is normal, and I noticed more since most have hit since August.

 

ETA: and Zobrist also was gone to the DL

Yeah I still don't think we've had that bad of luck with injuries. It certainly helps when we have probably the best backup SS and C in the league and one of the better 6th starters. This one could really hurt though.

[mul21]

I didn't see what happened. What's going on with Jake?

[gobigred]

The Dodgers have worn out the DL this year..I mean most were bs moves but they have used it a bunch

yeah, hendricks and russell are the two i can think of off the top of my head that have dragged and lasted longer than expected. the lester thing seemed like getting him rest more than anything. but more than once i thought we lost KB for the year, and i thought there was a good chance willson was lost for the season. i guess that's why i feel a little lucky.

[David]

some sort of leg issue. they tried to have him test it and he grimaced midway through the delivery and couldn't complete the pitch.

Well horsefeathers.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

If you guys don't think we've had too many injuries yet, I have a lot of free time this week.

[dfnowak]

Ok Cubs, Kuhl isn't that good.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

So this game just has bad vibes and blah to it. In this situation as a fan do you still feel like we got this or are you a ninny like me and start to mentally accept that we aren't winning today?

 

I assume I'm one of the few ninnies.

i never feel like either of these things unless it's a blowout in either direction (like at least 5 runs). i just watch and hope for good things.

Maybe Duke can do a write up of:

 

-the case for Rizzo's MVP season

 

-Wade Davis, Still perfect in Save Situations

 

-Kris Bryant's amazing healing ability when injured

 

-Theo Epstein builds winners who are built to last

 

-The Cubs seize First Place and there's no looking back

Green Bay Packers, an enduring legacy of hall of fame quarterbacks

 

Aaron Rodgers, great or greatest?

[Cubswin11]

What the horsefeathers was that call

[Derwood]

Kuhl is getting the Glavine zone today

[Aaron_Kennelly]

.199 batting average for Schwarber. Get a load of this guy. He freaking stinks.

[UMFan83]

Geez no freaking offense at all the past 2 games against shitty pitchers

[David]

Geez no freaking offense at all the past 2 games against horsefeathers pitchers

 

i bet shitty pitchers have an astronomical ERA against the cubs this year

I'm sure they do. We usually kill them. 2 off games for the offense
