I'm going to guess this is just some weird Joe logic where walking into a clubhouse with home jerseys hanging makes them feel like they are at home and thus play better. I can't see them being able to actually wear them in the game.

 

Wait did I say Joe logic? I mean Edith logic.

You are right, Jordan clarified that they aren't wearing the whites today.

Should just play skins, refuse to put on the cursed road jerseys

Break out the old blues!

Well, if the Cubs play well today, we will definitively know if the home jersey contains the winning magic.

[HawkeTrackler]

What if they wear their road jerseys *over* their home jerseys?

5-5 road trip will suffice.

Yup. 4-6 is also probably “fine.” Face Bauer, Gray, Castillo and Nola. It’s technically a 4 city trip with no off days because next Sunday vs the Pirates they play at the LLWS. But let’s do 6-4.

 

If we want to win the division it has to be better than 4-6 and 5-5

 

The Reds are a losing team, the Phillies are 26-34 thier last 60 games and the Pirates are in a total freefall right now. The same time we are playing this trip the Cardinals are playing the Pirates, Royals and Reds for 9 to get back winning and the Brewers just got right sweeping the Pirates.

Good day to get an early lead. Might get some rain at some point.

[Derwood]

Look at the Brewers next ten games

We haven't done too well against Wood either. We did beat him in Jake's first no-no though! KB took him deep. But 2.86 ERA over 34 innings, only 2 dongs. Hes been tough on us. That's a really rough stretch.

[Schwarber Fan]

That never would have happened at home.

[Derwood]

So I'm stuck with the Reds announcers (per usual) and they BOTH are mispronouncing Castellanos' last name (they are pronouncing the L's instead of making them the "yuh" sound)

[Edith Cox]

Coming into this game Heyward was hitting .233 with a .281 OBP in 8 games since taking over the leadoff spot again. Overall on the year hitting first heading into today he was at .164 with a .203 OBP.

[TMan92]

Nick trying to pad the double stats?

[Brian]

yay

[Schwarber Fan]

Alright!

[Edith Cox]

Nice to get a bounce on the road for a change.

[We Got The Whole 9]

That was a perfect pitch to crush into the RF seats Javy

[Forgotmyoldlogin]

I don’t know why but I just have a real good feeling about this road trip. Not just because we’re up 1-0, I swear I texted this to my friend an hour ago.

[Brian]

well that was predictable after the discussion earlier in this thread

[Schwarber Fan]

horsefeathers the Reds. Seriously.

[Forgotmyoldlogin]

I just don’t see how the Cubs can ever win a road series again.
