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

[soccer10k]

Albert off to a stellar start today.

 

Kyle well on his way to giving up his customary 1st inning run again.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

my favorite part of the offseason is going to be when Russell and Almora are traded

[Cubswin11]

horsefeathers off Almora

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I'll lose my horsefeathers if we lose to the Tigers.

[Schwarber Fan]

Might as well just start games down 1-0. Ridiculous.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

nah, I think he could have gotten him

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Might as well just start games down 1-0. Ridiculous.

 

We can't afford to just start like that right now, as we have to win 1-0.

[philosophizer75]

Am I the only person who really thinks almora could've gotten that ball that jeimer hit if he had laid out?

 

He had Schwarber there for backup, and it wasnt smoked like he had to block it or else it was going to the wall, he just pulled up at the end. Set the tigers whole inning up, and that's not even mentioning the bobble after taking the safe play which allowed jeimer to take 2nd.

Kyle was not hit hard at all that inning but he gave up 2 runs. He’s just destined to be that pitcher whose numbers you keep expecting to fall in line with how they are pitching and they never do. Edited August 21, 2018 by UMFan83

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Holy horsefeathers, I think the Cubs are actually dying.

[Cubswin11]

Cool start

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Wait we’d have to score 3 runs to win now?

inconceivable

[dfnowak]

Might as well be ballgame. We would have to score more than 1 run

[NotSoSober]

horsefeathers, this team is just awful right now

[Schwarber Fan]

This team is in serious, serious trouble.

For being a defensive guy Almora really isn’t all that good on defense. I want him the horsefeathers off this team.

[philosophizer75]

It's fine, we are gonna score 7 tonight.

[Cubswin11]

This team is in serious, serious trouble.

Nah, we’re good and we will win this game somehow

[Brian]

looks like it's going to be a lot of base runners but little to no runs night

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I want a 0-run 15-hit kind of night

[soccer10k]

Kyle’s first inning ERA is back over 8 again.

[UMFan83]

Bote has not looked good at all the last few games

[Ding Dong Johnson]

David Bote is a silver turd and deserves to be ridiculed

[Brian]

pitchers that were good 5-10 years ago is Cubs kryptonite

 

(also ones that are good now)

 

(also ones that aren't good now and never were)

I’m sure it’s just in my head but during this period of offensive struggle it seems like every single close pitch when the Cubs are hitting goes against us.
