Cubs (HRendricks) @ Tigers (the guy Olney said he'd bet the family farm would sign with the Cubs) - 6:10pm CT - NBCSC

[Agony and Ivy]

The dumb and really horsefeathering awful lineup the Tigers will put out will contain one guy you should fear, Nick Castellanos. There's about a 93.6% chance that Kyle gives up a dong to him in the first innings putting us in a hole we are not capapble of getting out of and winning.

 

Zimmermann horsefeathering sucks. Cubs might scrape together 2 runs.

 

Cubs are currently -195 (66% implied odds of winning). At least Vegas still thinks we're better than the Tigers, but that's because Vegas doesn't read this board. Can the Cubs defy the odds and get me my first win tonight? Doubtful.

2nd

[Sammy Sofa]

Hey, he's got 3 hours to go; it's legit.

[Agony and Ivy]

Well horsefeathers. Do what you want with this, but this jumping the gun on the gam threads is why our offense is inconsistent.

[Banedon]

I locked mine, you're fine.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

cobs suck, will lose. third place here we co.... oh wait, daniel murphy will save us whenever he decides to show up

[UMFan83]

Thus begins our 23 days in a row with a game. The last time we had a stretch this long it happened to be the only time in 2016 that the Cubs actually sucked (went 9-15 in a 24 day in a row stretch). Hopefully we fare better this time.

[Andy]

I almost grabbed Zimmermann in fantasy before thinking better of it. Don't make me regret that non move, Cobs.

I’m hoping for 12-11 or 13-10. Should be good enough. Especially if some of those wins come in the VBs series. Would be nice to get off to a good start the next 9 vs the Tigers, Reds and Mets.

Our lineup usually looks so much better with the DH in there (shocking, I know), and then Joe decides to go and ruin it by putting Almora against a righty and the corpse of good Jason Heyward.

now that we have murphy AND Zobrist.

[Cubswin11]

Just put him on the DL, Christ

 

[Brian]

Just put him on the DL, Christ

 

 

I'm sure they will tomorrow when Murphy gets here, no sense flying someone in to sit on the bench for a night especially without needing to pinch hit for the pitcher

well they could have flown in murphy

[TMan92]

That is a great opening at bat.

[Cubswin11]

Nice job, leadoff hitter

[NotSoSober]

Damn I love Baez

[TMan92]

If we could somehow figure out how to not start an inning with two quick outs maybe we could score.

It’s like we should put better hitters higher in the order or something.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Excellent work, Albert. You can tell we are playing crisp ball. Edited August 21, 2018 by Bryant's Disco Ball

[NotSoSober]

Just stop playing Almora in general

[Schwarber Fan]

Hurry up, Bryce.

[Tim]

If Almora's going to play like this, then just play Happ.
