[soccer10k]

Was just about to ask why Joe is leaving Kintzler in and he gets the DP.

[BigSlick]

hahaha are you kidding me dude

 

DFA Kintzler after this game please, thank you

 

lol

 

it would own to be a GM. I would spitefully DFA players constantly, i'd probably not have a roster by the end of it

[Brian]

Kintzler's ERA went up by .41 today

[Brian707]

[Brian]

how about, just for fun, some more runs?

[UMFan83]

hahaha are you kidding me dude

 

DFA Kintzler after this game please, thank you

 

This was his first run allowed in 20 appearances (although he did let 3 of 12 inherited runners scored), going all the way back to mid-May. During that span he's allowed a .462 OPS.

 

There are definitely some red flags that suggest regression is inevitable but lol he's been pretty damn effective.

[Brian]

I'm not doctor but Lorenzen playing the outfield and pitching seems like a recipe for an arm injury.

And really, he should be our lefty specialist. 53 lefties faced this year (potentially before today), 102/170/204 line against.

i have a weird bad feeling that kimbrel is gonna struggle because the reds are the Worst so this all matters quite a bit

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Bryant taking 3rd, <3

[Derwood]

Rizzo's last 6 or 7 base hits have been to the left side of the field

[squally1313]

Brewers/Hader came real close to blowing their game today. Whatever, maintain the lead.

[CyHawk_Cub]

I see Darvish was pulled after 83 pitches. No injury I hope.

[TMan92]

Albies really does stink except against us

[Brian]

I see Darvish was pulled after 83 pitches. No injury I hope.

 

no he was pinch hit for to start the bottom of the 6th

[squally1313]

Joe still thinks he has a mental injury. But other than that, no issue.

[Derwood]

That's by FAR the best Kimbrel has looked as a Cub

[Brian]

:flythew:

[HawkeTrackler]

God is it nice having a closer with an unhittable 98mph fastball.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Cubs Win!!

 

We beat the Reds in a series and Yu gets Wrigley W!!

 

Early runs, tack on, and added after the Reds scored a couple. Perfect!

[BigSlick]

Well done. I'll take 5-1 to start the second half

Basically the only difference between Bryant's MVP season and 2019 is that in 2016 UZR says he was an elite outfielder(in < 40 games) and this year UZR says he's a horrific outfielder (in <30 games). Which is the long way to say that he's been just as good as he was in 2016.

And no walks today by Cubs pitchers? Commendable

[Cubswin11]

Every starting pitcher has had a quality start in the first 6 games after the break, keep doing that and keeping us in games. Please.
