8/8 Cubs (Q) @ Royals (Filmyer) 7:15 PM CDT

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Quintana is so horsefeathering schizo. It's ridiculous. Fantastic in 5 of 7 innings and terrible in the other 2

 

And when you are terrible in two of seven innings against the Royals, it's really like six of seven innings against a real team.

Sooooo we might go 4-3 with a negative run differential in 7 games against the teams with the worst records in both the NL and the AL and happen to be a combined 70 games below .500.

At least we have the Nationals and VB’s coming up on the home stand....

[TMan92]

Eloy Jimenez is batting .376 and Cease hasn’t given up a run in a while.

[Cubswin11]

At least we won the series but holy horsefeathers

[TMan92]

It is frustrating how much I dislike a team that is 19 over.

Somehow one of you guys will still find a stat that partially convinces me that Q is actually pitching well despite a 4.28 ERA in mid August

I only dislike them when they are playing bad like they have in the 21 games since the ASB

Going 4-3 in these seven is just not good enough, particularly with the way they have played since the break. I'm really disappointed in the past week.

[UMFan83]

Teams have a 1.012 OPS when facing Quintana the third time around the order. .693 and .669 the first 2 times

[Hairyducked Idiot]

97.95% of Quintana’s pitches were shutouts. Don’t let te 5 runs on the two other pitches make you think he wasn’t awesome

[SpongeWorthy]

how do we avoid losing to the dodgers in the playoffs

[Brian707]

At least the Royal bullpen is coming in so we shouldn't get shutout

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Also, I miss a healthy Kris Bryant.

Exactly why not having anyone up in the pen going into the 7th was unacceptable

Yeah, but they will bring in that weird lefty throwing guy and the angle will cause the Cubs to swing wild.

Losing to the Braves in the WC game would do it

In the wild card game?

roflllllllllll duke how do you feel now buddy

 

Pretty pissed off about tonight, but still feeling good, all things considered.

[Gilby]

This is going to hurt Quintana's ERA since that random day in May.

"No one actually dislikes them, though."

[SpongeWorthy]

Stop hitting it there you horsefeathering dweeb

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Holy horsefeathers, Addy's slugging is down to .367.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I'd have traded 18 years of Addison Russell for three months of Machado.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Probably whatever we did to beat them in the season series.

[UMFan83]

Ive been pretty positive this year but this latest stretch is starting to hurt my optimism a bit
