Who gives a horsefeathers? Trump is continuing to dismantle the USPS to steal the election. Text USPS to 50409.

Day off for Javy (good), Heyward a late scratch with back tightness

[Bertz]

Curious if Hader and/or Peralta are available. 35 pitches probably warrants two days off, but if you're the Brewers and have a tight lead late today it'd be pretty hard to resist the temptation.

 

Although honestly Suter is the scariest arm in that pen for me at this point, so very relieved to have him out of the mix.

It was interesting when Grace compared Suter to Doug Davis. Davis was a guy who always seemed to shud down the Cubs lineup and you'd be sitting there watching his stuff and just be perplexed st how he was doing it. At this point it feels like Suter owns us just the same.

I will never get used to "MSN" being used to mean Marquee. It's too close to CSN to be anything but a typo at first glance

funny you say that. it makes me think of microsoft's old ISP every time.

I took the over on 4.5 strikeouts for Lindblom today so you all can thank me for the reverse jinx

[Guancous]

Lindblom must be dispirited after that he gutted out that long first inning. He didn’t even have time to get a Gatorade.

Anyone think it would be a good idea to maybe flip flop Bryant and Rizzo in the lineup. Bryant, obviously off to a slow start stats-wise. But the OBP is dreadful. He's seeing a lot of pitches in some of his ABs, just not getting on. He might see more hittable pitches with the OBP machine on base ahead of him.

If Arcia didn't play the Cubs 16-18 times a year, would he still be major leaguer?

[CubinNY]

Grrrrrrrrr.

[PackLandVA]

Well that got sucky in a hurry.

[CubinNY]

I think I hate the Brewers more than the Cardinals

[UMFan83]

I miss the whole “take a lead, keep adding on, hold the opponent down, win the game” strategy

[javy knows my name]

Jed Gyorko would look most at home in a cop uniform. He just looks like a bully

[Cubswin11]

This is such a frustrating 3 days

[Andy]

I'm long past done with this Orlando Arcia [expletive].

Good thing we built some cushion

[UMFan83]

Somewhere Randall Grichuk looks defeated knowing that he is no longer the only terrible player that gets 98% of hIs production against the Cubs

[itisallpartoftheplan]

horsefeathers Orlando Arcia that garbage ass horsefeathers.

[Cubswin11]

Maybe spend some time looking at how other teams pitch Arcia, since 2018 he’s killed us and he’s literally Almora level bad vs not Cubs teams

[Derwood]

Arcia is a career .213/.282/.302/.584 hitter against the Cubs

[PackLandVA]

OUCH!!!

Yardley came in and threw balls on 10 of his first 11 pitches, however due to bad calls and bad swings, all the Cubs have gotten out of it so far is a HBP

[Irrelevant Dude]

Nothing but walks and strikeouts. This brand of baseball sucks.
