8/5 Cubs (Darvish) at Royals (Bubic) 7:05 CDT Marquee

Ugh offense has cooled off the last few games. Crazy that we’ve scored 9 runs this series so far and in a position to win all 3.

Good job, Yu

Facing lefties (Where it seems they are a bat or 2 short vs) and wind blowing in/not greatest weather. Hopefully they got a RD game in them soon.

I'm losing hope of a Steele debut before the rosters decrease

Isn't this 3 nights in a row for Jeffress?

He’s the new Cishek. When he was good with the Brewers I know they pitched him a ton back-to-back and he liked doing it. He thinks it helped him stay fresh.

So is Jeffress stuff back to where it should be and in line with his production?

I'm completely in love with that send by Venable

His FB velo is still below where it was in his elite years by a good ~3 MPH. He was averaging 95 then and hit 97 often. He’s more 90-93 now. But he’s upped the usage on his split/change and he’s throwing the FB and curve less. I like what I’ve seen regardless. He pitches with confidence and has some swag out there. He’s in the bullpen circle of trust for me. Which is pretty much just him and Wick and Ryan on select days. Rea/Tepera/Sadler are close.

Close enough

[Omar]

This guy is already better than Kimbrel.

[Guancous]

Congrats to Colin Rea. Must have been a brutal path back to the majors after four years.

[Brian]

10-2, keep stacking W's

[FloridaCubbie]

Please let Rea be a thing, an inverse Kimbrel. Edited August 6, 2020 by FloridaCubbie

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I hope they don’t play a good team all season.

[Cubswin11]

Rea you have my attention. That 89 MPH cutter/slider definitely plays and if he can be 95 out of the pen with the FB and use that curve as a get over pitch he may be a thing.

[Bote McBoteface]

In all my life i never thought we’d build a team good enough to go 27-5.4
