9/19 Cubs (Hamels) @ Diamondbacks (Ray) 8:40 NBCSC

[Schwarber Fan]

Haha, worst lineup we’ve faced in a month and it’s going to beat us. Oh well. Edited September 20, 2018 by Schwarber Fan

i doubt we even make the wildcard game

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Time for bed. Haha

[Forgotmyoldlogin]

How could this happen?

[Schwarber Fan]

Hamels reverting to Rangers mode prior to the postseason would be a huge bummer.

[UMFan83]

Hey there’s always July and August. Thanks Cole

[Schwarber Fan]

How could this happen?

 

Hamels was due for a bad outing and the DBacks lineup is a bunch of guys playing for spots next year plus predictable Cub-killer Jon Jay.

[Jaxbro]

Win turds

 

But alas Robbie Ray will transform from his pumpkin form and morph into Cy Young material

Should have went with Hammels turns into a pumpkin

[Cubswin11]

I want to fire our advanced scouts who scout these no name players more than dr nick running the medical department

[soccer10k]

Cubs win 7-5.

[gobigred]

Can they leave now and make the most of the off day

[chibears55]

Might as well start emptying the bench now and let Chatwood finish the game

[UMFan83]

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Cubs were mentally checked out having won 5 of 6 games, increasing their lead to a safeish margin and having their first off day in a literal month staring at them so close

[Schwarber Fan]

Need to get a few back right away or this one is done.

[weis21]

cubs win 9-6

 

ray won't fare well the second time (or even the first) through the lineup.

[weis21]

LINE OUTS. GET YER LINE OUTS HERE

[Derwood]

I mean, we didn't REALLY think Hamels was going to give up just 1 ER per game or whatever, right? I mean, he was due for a bad inning

[Forgotmyoldlogin]

Ya know... I guess I'm not too stressed. We can definitely still win this game, but even if we don't we're up 2.5 games with ten to go (nine for the VB's). If you'd told me after Sunday we'd still be up 2.5 at this point I'd have been happy.

[TMan92]

Shave the beard Cole.

[Forgotmyoldlogin]

Shave the beard Cole.

If I've learned one thing over the past month, it's that bearded Murphy and smooth Hamels is much much better than the opposite.

[Brian]

can't waste Russell hits

[TMan92]

can't waste Russell hits

 

Double play incoming.

[Brian]

there was no way Almora was going to walk the same inning Russell got a hit

[Schwarber Fan]

Almora is such trash. Take a damn walk.

[soccer10k]

Almora is such trash. Take a damn walk.

 

Didn’t see the first strike but strikes 2 and three were out of the zone.
