8/28 Cubs (Hamels) vs Mets (deGrom): 7:05 PM on WGN

[Banedon]

Well that got a little dicey.

 

 

How about a little less drama tonight?

 

[Sammy Sofa]

Man, deGrom has doubled down on insane mode in the second half. Be a hell of a thing to beat hm tonight.

[UMFan83]

Beat him in July, we can beat him again*

 

*by beat him I mean try to get him out of the game after 7 innings max and hope Cole matches him nearly pitch for pitch like he did Scherzer.

SuperCubs vs SuperDeGrom. We’re winning 5-1 or something

Yeah when the Cubs are going right, this is how they seem to beat the elite guys, just survive and advance until it's a bullpen game.

Hello nurse.....

[BigSlick]

DeGrom should be pissed he's up against Hamels, if anything

[Ding Dong Johnson]

[Brian]

no more Bautista this series, but maybe this weekend as he was just traded to the Phillies

[Schwarber Fan]

Good night to have the lead through 5.

W-wha...

 

How does Caratini make any sense there (don't give me any split nonsense; he belongs NOWHERE).

[CyHawk_Cub]

At least Almora looked good** in his AB last night.

 

 

 

 

**Actually, this is entirely made up and false.

I’m fine giving Willy a day off today, but hitting Caritini 5th makes no sense

[javy knows my name]

Botebotebotebote why's he batting 9th?

[Sammy Sofa]

What even is this dumb lineup for jerks.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Maddon testing how SuperCubs we are right now.

[Brian]

lineup has a very picked names out of a hat appearance to it

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Botebotebotebote why's he batting 9th?

because he's not very good at hitting anymore

I came to this thread specifically to check on Rondon Fan's weather comment and it doesn't fail

I defer to @cubsweather on twitter now.

[Regular Show]

Hmm, this lineup is something... Bote batting ninth is dumb. Why is Caratini fifth?

 

I'm not saying Drinky Joe needs to go to rehab like Ben Affleck, but I'm definitely concerned.

[Cubswin11]

[Agony and Ivy]

The Mets lineup is a war crime.

I can't even think what this could be, outside of batting the pitcher even higher than 8 I can't think of anything out of the box (for Joe Maddon) that he could do
