9/6 Cubs (Yu) vs. Brewers (Gonzalez) 6:10pm

[Irrelevant Dude]

Using an example of a guy that was treated like he was made of glass his entire time here and then got broken anyway isn't really a mark against his opinion.

 

Uh he got hurt when Maddon went against the plan.

They had no damn clue when he got hurt. Theo speculated.

He was a ticking time bomb from the start. It was just a matter of when, not if, he would get injured.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Really surprised Yelich didn't tag there.

[UMFan83]

Honestly, hader or no hader, we had Castellanos, Rizzo, and Bryant with the bases loaded and less than two outs, and got one run. That’s why we will lose this game.

 

They are just a flawed team. You’d think your 3 best hitters in that situation would produce more but Castellanos took a close pitch for a K, Bryant has sucked for awhile and I am not sure why Bote was up but he is a K machine facing the other kind of K machine

 

Once I accepted that they are talented but very flawed, watching this stuff has been a lot less annoying. Some days the talent will win out and other days the flaws. The end result is a team playing slightly above .500 ball over the last 110 games or so

He knew he could steal at will

Well, he has stolen more bases tonight than the Cubs do in a month... And I'm not sure that is an exaggeration.

horsefeathers off Gamel

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Cubs just can’t put away 2 strike hitters. Combine that with the amazing Ben Gamel.

[Schwarber Fan]

These games are just ridiculous. Everyone on the other team turns into Joey Votto in the late innings.

[TMan92]

Yup. That makes sense

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Arcia? We know how this ends.

[soccer10k]

Arcia is definitely coming though here.

[Derwood]

Cubs score 3 this inning

[Schwarber Fan]

No way we are scoring before they do but at least Hader will be unavailable tomorrow.

[TMan92]

Who closes now if we get out of this?

[Irrelevant Dude]

Who closes now if we get out of this?

Hultzen

[TMan92]

Russell is horrendous

[soccer10k]

Nice throw, Russell. You jackass.

[soccer10k]

CALL IT, BLUE.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Walk Yelich.

[TMan92]

Can we just fire all the umpires. This is going to be another feather in the MVP voting.

[TMan92]

Walk Yelich.

 

Joe should. But he won’t.

[UMFan83]

Lol flawed team

[TMan92]

Why do you pitch to him Joe? Fitting that Russell blew the season. You deserve this Cubs

[Schwarber Fan]

They’ll win tomorrow to rope us back in, but this season, at best, is ending in the Wild Card round.

[Derwood]

It's neat how not a single one of our relievers can consistently get guys out on 2 strike counts
