[ScrubMD]

Rank your favorite #5 starters on a contending Cubs team from the 2000s:

Estes, Marquis, Those 4 games Trachsel pitched in 07, Haren, Lackey/2nd half Hammel, or Chatwood.

 

I was pretty sure Sergio Mitre wouldn't qualify, and in confirming that I found this beauty.

How many hours a day do you figure he is not having sex? I guarantee it’s single digits.

Tommy's broke : (

 

I saw something that TLS had one of the largest drops in Hard Hit % between 2017 and 2018. Something like 35% last year, under 20% this year.

 

another broken home

What in the world.........

[UMFan83]

What in the horsefeathers was that

[Old Style]

WTF is Zobrist calling for that if he's not going to go after it?

[Sammys Boombox]

What a joke

[Bryants Disco Ball]

From not making contact with a runner on third and one out to all this defense, this has been a rough few minutes for the Cubs. Hopefully, they get out of this and win the game.

[BigSlick]

I'm indescribably angry to look at the boxscore and see Chatwood had 5 more walks today in 5 innings (even though, amazingly, none of them cost us a run)

[Sammy Sofa]

From not making contact with a runner on third, this has been a rough 3 of the last 4 years for the Cubs.

Can someone describe the triple and double?

[Sammys Boombox]

Triple was groundball between Bryant and the line that Schwarber had trouble figuring out down in the corner.

 

Double was a pop up that any of Zobrist, Happ or Heyward probably catch if nobody else is around, but none of them went for it.

Triple was a ground ball down the 3B line that Schwarber misplayed twice, once it took a hop off the side wall and went all the way to the track, and the second time he had trouble picking the ball up.

 

Double was a bloop fly that Zobrist called everyone off on, but ultimately fell in between 3 guys while Zobrist was never even that close to where the ball ended up.

Thank you.

 

From gameday I couldn't tell if Cishek was getting hit uncharacteristically hard or what.

[Banedon]

That Cishek signing is looking pretty solid.

Triple was down the 3rd base line Schwarber runs to get it and it angles off the side wall by him to the LF Wall. Double was a pop up tweener between zo, Happ, and heyward. Zobrist called for it but backed away and Happ dove and wasn’t even close. If caught no run would’ve scored, too shallow. (Unless Bryant was tagging on Rajai)

They're lying to you. I don't know how they both came up with the same lie. But both hits were smacked against the wall. Lucky neither got out.

[BigSlick]

its downright gobsmacking that the two teams have combined for 12 walks and 10 hits and total only 5 runs between them

[UMFan83]

Did we decide to stop offensing today?

[BigSlick]

Did we decide to stop offensing today?

just today?

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I'm quite sure this is every baseball game, but the Cubs are doing all the little things in the later part of a tight game -not executing, shaky defense, issuing walks - that sometimes leads to giving a win away.

[BigSlick]

score more runs losers

[Brian]

Who has the 8th, Bass?
