6.7 Game in the Whale's Vagnia at 9 pm (Adbert vs Weather's kid)

[CubinNY]

Will anyone be awake for this game? I might make it to the bottom of the 1st.

[Derwood]

Way past my bedtime

Doubtful. Think I wasted most of that energy supply on the USMNT last night....will check the box score when I wake up and wait until Wednesday when I can get pissed off watching Yu destroy Jake.

Alzolay got out of bases loaded and one out with just a run on a soft groundout is nor unimpressive. Got Tatis to K too on a couple sliders down 3-1

Yeah - The walk to Cronenworth was the only real bad PA for him. Otherwise he generated some soft contact for the most part.

 

He's missing command on the fastball so far. He'll be fine if he gets that dialed in.

[UMFan83]

Ugh come on Adbert, you are supposed to be our ace

 

He seems like he’s throwing a ton of hanging breaking balls. I’m wondering if he has a dead arm. Maybe a 10 day DL stint may be in order.

 

Or maybe I’m overreacting to 2 innings against one of the best offenses in baseball

[Schwarber Fan]

Bears at home, Cubs on the road.

Hopefully it’s the latter because they can’t afford him going on the IL right now.

[UMFan83]

And now every Cubs starter has an ERA over 4

[UMFan83]

Bases loaded 0 outs. This is the chance to get back in the game. Let’s see how they do...

[abuck1220]

ross is 0 for his career in deciding when to stick with/remove his starter

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Brothers gets the DP and the K to keep us down just 1. Good not to give anything back after scoring 3.

[UMFan83]

There has to be a backup catcher out there better than Higgins. 1-21 now with 1 walk and 8 strikeouts. 22 PA is still small but he just doesn’t look good against Major League pitching

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Why the horsefeathers is PJ Higgins swinging 3-0 as the leadoff man of an inning??

[BigSlick]

can we never horsefeathering have another west coast trip ever again

[itisallpartoftheplan]

I liked it better when the pen didn’t give up runs.

 

2 walks, a wild pitch, a fielders choice, and a sac fly leads to 2 for the Padres. Take out the wild pitch and they get 0.

[UMFan83]

lol Rizzo drops a pop foul that is made 99.99% of the time and Machado pays him back by donging on the next pitch.

[UMFan83]

Have started this road trip 1-4 with a -13 RD. Also getting some 2019 vibes with the 21-10 home record vs 12-17 on the road. But the road schedule has been somewhat tough so far and before this trip they were 7-2 in their previous 9 road games

[ChiCubsFan]

Maybe we saw why trading Kimbrel to turn the bullpen over to the guys below him won’t really work out

 

I don’t disagree. Being able to use Tepera or Nance in middle relief is a nice luxury. However, this team isn’t winning a WS with its lack of starting pitching. Might as well get what you can for Kimbrel if the offers will be as good as they should be. Is Rowan Wick ever coming back?

[Derwood]

Nice thing about the west coast trip is that I'm not even slightly tempted to watch the games past the 3rd inning

[BigbadB]

I'll turn these yahoos around. I'm going to the next two games. My last hurrah in San Diego for watching the Cubs.

[Omar]

I am going to plan ahead a trip to San Diego in 2022 for Cubs/Padres

 

Hopefully it falls on a weekend.
