8/30 Cubs (Q) vs. Brewers (Anderson) 1:20pm WGN

Q is going to pull a Hendricks and not make it through 5

 

Glad to be wrong!

[Transmogrified Tiger]

how did Hiura come up lame running that slowly?

[minnesotacubsfan]

gameday says he left the game with an injry (?)

[Brian]

was ball 3 as in the zone as it appears to be on gameday??

Ball 3 and ball 2 both could’ve been strikes, ball 3 especially

[Cubswin11]

gameday says he left the game with an injry (?)

Q? No he’s fine, was at 104 pitches and gave up hard contact for the 2nd out.

The Brewers board thinks Schwarbs slide somehow hurt him and caused him to blow out his hamstring. Even though he was running perfectly fine for the first 50 feet or so before he came up lame

[itisallpartoftheplan]

2 straight at bats Javy refuses to walks on pitches clearly out of the zone. Luckily he got a double this time.

Plus Pina way better off of LHP. So got the RHP to face him.

Hiura

This jay Jackson is a blast from the past. I never knew he made the bigs.

[soccer10k]

Russell gets to a 2-0 count with a runner on third and one out then swings and misses 3 straight times. Useless sack of horsefeathers.

[Cubswin11]

Eloy and Cease are at .3 combined for the year

 

[Cubswin11]

Almora staggers his steps to go in to a controlled slide or jumps in to the wall on that very routine ball Happ just caught in CF

[Bertz]

Eloy and Cease are at .3 combined for the year

 

 

Even at the worst points I've been a big proponent that we were right to trade them, but not for Quintana. Really glad Q's rebounded from last year and let me drop the 'but.'

 

Really happy with what Phelps has done since coming over. Hopefully we can get Cishek righted, and I'll begin feel good about the bullpen.

 

7th - Phelps

8th - Wick

9th - Kimbrel

 

With Ryan and Cishek able to be slotted in for opportune matchups. That's plenty good enough to get the job done.

[BigSlick]

woe upon me for questioning the 'batting Caratini 3rd' decision

[BigSlick]

some of these Javy at bats........they're very bad

[BigSlick]

Strop's corpse is taking such a beating lately, i feel bad for him

[Schwarber Fan]

Bote has been more useful today than Heyward has been in a month.

[Brian]

Cubs are 12 over

[Cubswin11]

:flythew: 12 over! The curse has been broken! Go Reds!

[BigSlick]

Cubs broke their Road Curse, have just beaten the 11 game over .500 Curse, what's next? Will the Cardinals actually lose a couple games?

[wvcbxl]

That was a good 9th :D

[Bertz]

Are we doing magic number posts, or is it bad form to do one when you're not in first place? Because we are at a fun one:

Better than the Cuba jerseys, but still a dark time for Cubs road unis.
