Bote Bomb!

[Schwarber Fan]

Bote is going to be a solid major league player.

[BigSlick]

Just like the last 4 games. Early deficit followed by blown chances.

hahahahahaha

 

Nice timing

He’s not wrong. That is exactly how the last four games have gone. They basically go scoreless for the first 5 innings and then erupt.

 

The 2017 cubs made that their season long strategy

[NotSoSober]

Did they finalyl send Gimenez down? Thakn god

Things are looking cloudy

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Bote has more power than Bryant

so do both of my grandmothers. and one of them has been dead 2 years

Indeed. The Cubs will probably end up trading him at some point, but we should enjoy him while he's still here.

[Tim]

That one wasn't wind aided.

[NotSoSober]

I'm so sick of Quintana

[Schwarber Fan]

Quintana and Hendricks have been frustrating in almost the same way this year.

[Derwood]

Both teams are hitting 3+ homers today

Hendricks has been way more frustrating between his lack of control and HRs given up. Quintana flat out stinks

+ Chatwood = 3 5’s. Can’t last long the way their performing.

I find Quintana infinitely more frustrating to watch. I trust Hendricks more to get back on track and pitch well. I wasn't super duper happy when we made the trade for him last year.

[Sammy Sofa]

It's unfortunate that they likely need to go get a starter, but I don't see how they don't even if Darvish comes back and is amazing.

[NotSoSober]

holy horsefeathers at that strike 1 call to Almora

I think you're both getting caught by recency bias. I'd adjust my forecast for both of them south of where it started the year, but each has a track record of getting things figured out during the year and being damn fine pitchers. Quintana had a 4.49 ERA last year when we traded for him and he was money down the stretch. Hendricks had a 4.09 ERA in the first half last year and a 2.19 in the second half.

 

There's still more than enough time for them to get their horsefeathers together and pitch like we expect.

[Cubswin11]

Quintana has only given up 4 or more runs in his last 11 starts. 7 of the starts have been 2 or less runs. He’s good and fine and will get better.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

lol, Javy is so damn fun to watch

[Tim]

Wow....those throws

[NotSoSober]

God damn i love Baez

[Transmogrified Tiger]

justice for the extremely obvious balk by liriano

[CubInOK]

I didn't know Jon Lester played LF for the Tigers.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

wow
