watching the cubes counts as a underlying condition for covid

Yes, that’s why I shop at Jewel during the senior only hours.

Get ready to lose 1-0

[We Got The Whole 9]

For that to matter we have to put balls in play against Mahle

Where’s JD?

Excellent AB by Javy

Baez blowing a bubble as a hits a triple.

I know you know you suck, Mills, but quit with the 2 out walks

[PackLandVA]

Nicky with a horrendous AB there. Swung at 3 sliders off the plate, very wide.

 

Nice comeback for Mills with a GIDB after a leadoff single and then getting Nick after a double and a BB.

[UMFan83]

so this is what it feels like to be on the other side of “crappy pitcher inexplicably shuts down an offense“

[We Got The Whole 9]

Damn

[Brian]

That was basically the '16 NLDS dong but just didn't make the basket

[UMFan83]

Looks like we’ve got the Underwood who is allergic to the strike zone. Good thing the Reds are chasing

[We Got The Whole 9]

He was shaky but you'll take a K and a GIDP any day

[Brian]

if Yu is anywhere near on tomorrow I can't see how this team could get any more than 2 hits

can’t believe ross let mills face castellanos in the 5th, can’t believe he sent him back out for the 6th and the bullpen decisions in the 7th and 8th were both weird, but I guess it all worked

[PackLandVA]

can’t believe ross let mills face castellanos in the 5th....

 

And he made Nick look silly on three straight sliders out of the zone.

The wheels have come off lately for Tepera but he still misses a ton of bats. It was great to see him have a pretty clean inning. Hopefully that gets him back into a groove. Underwood has been real good over his last 7 or so outings IIRC. He's solidifying his spot in the pen.

 

Good job by our relief tonight.

[Cubswin11]

That’s a nice win

[UMFan83]

Always good to win a non-Hendricks/Darvish game

 

Time to step up our play. The Cardinals do not play a team with a record above .500 for the rest of the season while the Cubs play 8 of their remaining 17 games against winning teams.

Of course, during that 17 game stretch the Cardinals are playing 25 games. The primary concern is that 10 of those 25 are against the Brewers, and someone has to win those games, so the Cubs just have to win some series here. Win this and the next series against the Brewers and the rest of the season should work itself out fine.
