8/14/18 Cubs(Quintana) vs Brewers(Chacin) 1:20PM NBCS Chicago

[TMan92]

I have seen enough of de la Rosa

[Brian]

The Ryan Braun/Erik Kratz game

[Old Style]

[NotSoSober]

I just wanna say horsefeathers Sloppy Joe for having the audacity to start LaStella and bat him 5th

 

Quintanas face alone pisses me off

[Brian]

they're going to make Knebel look good

[bcl412]

So many whiffs in the zone today it seems

[Perd]

It was really cool for the hitters to suck in a show of support for Q.

[illiniguy]

It's depressing that we gave up so much talent for Quintana.

[bcl412]

Has Christy Zobrist ever been ejected before?

[We Got The Whole 9]

How about instead of bitching about the strike zone, you don't chase on 3-1, Ben. Ya look like a horsefeathering baby, you and Joe. You guys got your asses handed to you today and to add insult to injury you bitch about the zone when you're getting demolished.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Down to 7th best run differential in MLB. This has been a good but not elite team this season and it is trending downward.

It was a bad call on a ball 4 that would have put 2 on no out in a frustrating game. It makes sense and maybe theres some hope in the clubhouse that ultra religious goodguy getting thrown out will spark them or something

if Sunday night didn't spark anything, I can't see how a couple of guys getting tossed would.

That walkup music was gonna pissoff someone eventually.

I thought I read somewhere that are Pythag is right in line now. The only games we seem to win are the one run variety and get curb stomped when we lose.

yea, its right on down to D3 (the cubs are actually one better than that right now for the first time in years). This isn't as good as we had hoped but they have a good chance to win the division.

[Cubswin11]

Meh, go win and get a split tomorrow.

[imb]

i still cant believe quintana is this bad lmao

[Perd]

Get ‘em tomorrow. Again, I keep telling myself that a winning streak should be due. But damn, do we get our ass kicked a lot.

It’s still way more likely than not that there is much better play ahead but there’s a non zero chance that we are in a tailspin masked by success in one run games and a couple of timely homers that might take awhile to get out of Edited August 14, 2018 by UMFan83

if you were a true pessimist you would point out that our pre-ASB record was bolstered by flukishly good results from bad pitching. Once reality caught up to our rotation, the wheels have come off.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

My pessimist just figured this was a 93-win team on paper, then take away or significantly reduce the contributions of Bryant, Darvish, Lester and Quintana. What’s that leave you? A 78-win team?

Its far more likely that they are in for a sustained losing stretch than a winning stretch. Their wins are by 1 run and their losses are RD games.

Lol, What?

[BigSlick]

My completely anecdotal and unscientific senses say this team has been shutout more times this season than the last 3 seasons combined
