RIP Skyballer

I'm angry that now exists in my YouTube history.

This has probably happened a ton of times before but a 4:05 start time seems very odd at Wrigley, is there a reason for it?

No idea. ESPN said the Cubs were about to play 9 day games in a row. I thought the Cubs didn’t play many day games outside of weekends?

[squally1313]

Last I remember, there's still some sort of limit on how many night games the team is allowed to have, coming from the surrounding neighborhood. Assuming that's still in place, my theory is that they're shoving as many of the day games into next week as they can with the holiday. No game on Monday, assume a lot of people are taking the 3rd off, Fourth of July, no game Thursday, and then back to the weekend again. No idea on the timing for tomorrow.

It seems pretty obvious that the game is later because we're coming in from LA.

That's what Pat said during today's broadcast.

 

I would think a lot of Twins fans will be there tomorrow seeing the end of the Sox game today had a lot of them. Good trip to make to Chicago for a long weekend

The Twins' twitter doesn't post their daily starting lineups. Lame

I've had enough Gimenez in my life..

Yeah, now that Yu is never going to pitch again, he really doesn't serve much of a purpose.

[weis21]

Should be an easy W.

 

Hell, I ate a bowl of Berrios for breakfast this morning.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Hell, I know he struggled with the Cubs this year but Vic Caratini has a .940 OPS in Iowa right now. Was his work with our pitchers that bad?

ETA: NCCubFab hacked my account. Sorry

[Bertz]

I'm a little worried about this series. The Twins suck, but Berrios is pretty great, and we've got Chatwood going tomorrow. Luckily Sunday should be a gimme.

It shouldn’t matter in the lineup includes Gimenez’ bat. Unfortunately it does.

[The_Achiever]

It's silly but I never like it when teams that don't normally get to play in Wrigley visit. You know there's going to be a little extra adrenaline flowing.

 

Also co-sick of Giminez. I like Caratini as a backup.

Bring me Rene Rivera at the deadline.

[Agony and Ivy]

The cutter looked fantastic that inning.

[Tim]

Boo to Almora leading off vs a righty

[Brian]

(recent) history tells me the pitcher is going to get an RBI here

[Tim]

This appears to be a game thread where we really need Fred.

Hey great month Monty
