9/8/18 CLUBES (Garcia) @ Nationals (Scherzer) 2:05 CST NBC Sports Chicago

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Nevermind postponed. doubleheader tomorrow starting at 2. Who the hell is going to start the 2nd game

 

guess who threw more than 50 pitches for iowa on sunday, is on the roster, and hasn’t pitched since

[UMFan83]

Mills hasn’t pitched since his start has he?

 

No. I was thinking either him or *vomits in my mouth* Chatwood

[Brian]

Joe and Davey should just agree to start Hamels and Scherzer in opposite games and and put them against whatever garbage available

[CyHawk_Cub]

Pretty sure Mills isn't eligible to be activated until Sunday.

[Sammys Boombox]

I’m incredibly pissed that they even started this game and then made the Cubs sit around all day long.

they had to try

Or they could have looked at the radar and realized it was going to rain all night and smartly decided to not start the game.

 

It’s not like they played for two hours but they only got 5 innings in because it was a slow game and the rain came early. They didn’t even play for 30 minutes.

[Brian707]

Lester threw whatever in the bullpen and 14 pitches... is it safe for him to go tomorrow?

 

Doubtful. Cubs should just punt the Scherzer game and have Hamels go the other game

[Sammys Boombox]

Theo needs to hire a meteorologist. We could have started Chatwood tonight. Lol.

have you seen the weekend forecast and the remaining schedules? we already knew before today that this weekend was probably going to be spent sitting around and desperately trying to get in as many games as possible.

[UMFan83]

Garcia game 1 Hamels game 2. Not sure how the Nats are countering that

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Hamels better be starting the non Scherzer game

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Hamels better be starting the non Scherzer game

 

And he is

 

Garcia vs Max

Hamels vs TBD

I have seen the forecast. But again, they didn’t even play for 30 minutes before they had to stop. There was no reason to even start that game regardless of what it looked like the next two days.

[Cubswin11]

Good job tonight MLB

Starting that game was really dumb. They didn't have to try. There was no way they were going to get more than a couple inning in.

[Forgotmyoldlogin]

I'd be okay with Joe resting all the starters in Game 1. The guys need a rest and it's unlikely we'd win anyways considering the pitching match-up.

[Sammys Boombox]

I’m kind of rooting for today to get totally washed out. They have to tack both games onto the end of the season, and then they never get played because we clinch sometime early in the final week.

Edit: I guess they would play 2 tomorrow if possible.

[raw]

Doesn't look good today out this way. Granted, I'm like 4 hours away from DC, but definitely raining here today and last I checked 100% chance tomorrow.

[Schwarber Fan]

It won’t be pretty, but they should be able to squeeze in 2 today. Heavy stuff is north. Tomorrow, who knows.

[Brian707]

Tarp on the field. Also Lester will start Monday not Wednesday now

[Schwarber Fan]

What a mess. Is there even a mutual off day the rest of the way?

 

Edit: just Thursday. But does that violate the consecutive days at the park rule or whatever?

[CaliforniaRaisin]

They should’ve started at 11:30 pm last night when it cleared. MLB took a bad situation and really fucked it up.
