6/22/19 Mets (Wheeler) @ Cubs (Q) - 1:20p - ABC7

[Gilby]

Pitch right down the middle called a ball costs 2 runs. How fun.

[Schwarber Fan]

 

Contreras is good for one clutch hit a month and somehow hits .300. Maddening team.

 

I...huh?

 

I just saw that his RISP numbers are great. It just seems like whenever he’s up there with the Cubs trailing he doesn’t come through. Probably just me as usual.

[BigSlick]

Doubt is beginning to creep into my boasting about the Cubs coasting into a playoff spot

 

Why must they be so bad but numerically look good

[UMFan83]

1st and 2nd, no outs and 2-0 counts on the 3rd batter 2 innings in a row and 0 runs scored

[Schwarber Fan]

I’ve never seen a team lose the grip on the bat as much as these idiots.

[Schwarber Fan]

Ok, the Quintana trade was bad.

[TMan92]

Booooooooooo!

[Andy]

Well, this game is BS. 2 juiced ball dongs for them and our juiced ball dong somehow landed 20 feet short

[Derwood]

Ok, the Quintana trade was bad.

 

[Old Style]

How is this a first place team?

[Tryptamine]

Just like last year, they may end up with 90+ regular season wins, but they aren't even comparable to the Dodgers,Yankees,Astros etc.

[UMFan83]

Ok, the Quintana trade was bad.

 

The Quintana trade will basically give us 2 losses this week

[Schwarber Fan]

How is this a first place team?

 

Somehow this is going to end up being the mantra of the 2017-19 Cubs.

[UMFan83]

So 2-6 road trip, come home and go 2-3 to start against a couple of sub-.500 teams if we can’t come back today, then deGrom tomorrow and what is possibly the hottest team in baseball coming to town for 4 to start the week, then go on the road to face another red hot team in Cincinnati

[BigSlick]

Ok, the Quintana trade was bad.

 

The trade wasn’t bad and I’d do it again even with 20/20 hindsight but he has been a Quixotic and frustrating player to watch

[BigSlick]

“Deflating” should be the motto of the 2019 Cubs

[Gilby]

I'm still confused by the wind.

[Schwarber Fan]

I'm still confused by the wind.

 

Nothing to be confused about. It’s blowing in unless Quintana is on the mound at which point it has no effect.

[UMFan83]

You know you don’t have to give up a run every inning Q

[UMFan83]

Cubs now have 3 starters with ERAs above 4.13

[Gilby]

It all seems so mediocre

[BigSlick]

Cubs now have 3 starters with ERAs above 4.13

I fear that’s they’re actual talent level too. Without Hendricks magic professoring his way to a 2 ERA our concerns preseason......may be right

[Cubswin11]

Cubs now have 3 starters with ERAs above 4.13

That was kind of expected, no? Probably figured 2-3 guys were around 3.9-4.5 ERAs.
