8/14 - Road Cubs (Hamels) @ Phillies (Nola) - 6:00 CT NBCSCH/ESPN

[Derwood]

Game. Hamels hasn’t been good for awhile now, we should probably worry about that.

huh?

 

Earned runs in starts since beginning of June:

 

0

0

0

1

3

1

0

4

 

Where was his injury? After the 3rd zero, right? He’s been sharp in maybe one start since.

 

He's had 1 good and 1 bad start since coming off the IL

[Andy]

Welp should be interesting to see if we can rally from a couple games back when we return home

[Schwarber Fan]

Just another absolutely garbage hitting pitcher picking up a key rbi hit against us. Now they’ll easily get the 4th run in too.

[Derwood]

Okay, 1 good game, TWO bad games (ugh)

[Andy]

Even the producers are sick of this crap

[Cubswin11]

Give Chatwood, Hamels next start. He horsefeathering sucks.

[Schwarber Fan]

Why do we bother looking forward to these stupid games? No reason to keep watching this.

[TMan92]

Post oblique injury Hamels is not good. He was getting shelled in Texas after the same injury.

He threw 5 inning, 0 ER in his first start off the IL

[UMFan83]

This defies all logic. There is no horsefeathering way that the Cubs should be the worst team in baseball on the road. Every series I expect it to turnaround

Doesn’t matter, his stuff is clearly a tick down. Velo is down, location and command is a mess.

I'm not saying he's good, but I'm sensitive to SSS after the nightmare that was Edith Cox

This is clearly an eye test thing over stats. His stuff sucks and the velo is down. He isn’t topping 91 and the command/location is all over the place.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Speaking of eye tests, it appears the Cubs will never be able to score a decent amount of runs without hitting home runs, and I loathe every second of it.

[Schwarber Fan]

Cool that he gets an ovation but Hamels shouldn’t be batting here.

[Derwood]

Weird that this is the first time Hamels has played in Philly since leaving

[Derwood]

LOL at this outside corner

Spot on. No matter how good the pitching is, this offense is completely binary.

[Schwarber Fan]

Whoever thinks we’re scoring tonight is out of their mind.

[TMan92]

Just forfeit.

[Schwarber Fan]

Alright, that’s enough for me. Maybe the little league game on Sunday will be cool.

[TMan92]

89 mph fast balls right down the middle.

[Schwarber Fan]

Hamels will be back on the IL tomorrow. Bank on it.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I am too lazy to check, but this feels like the third or fourth game in the past two weeks where the Cubs have just gotten totally blown out in the first three innings or so. That's really bad. Of course, it might not be true, but if it is, that's really bad.

[Old Style]

SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
