Cubs sure getting fucked over with the schedule this week with 9 games in 7 days.

 

I could be wrong but I think every team has a similar stretch this year due to having to reschedule the first week of games this year. In this case both DH this week are replacing games from that 1st week

 

Monday's double header was from a rainout in the opening series. Saturday's was previously scheduled.

 

Got it. That makes more sense then. Looking at our schedule, both other home series against Milwaukee come right before a scheduled 5 game series against St. Louis. Maybe would have made a little more sense to schedule it in August. Brewers play a day game at home on Thursday, then play at the Cubs for 3, at LAD for 3 then a day off. Cubs have an off day Thursday as well so at least we'd get a day off right before a stretch of 9 games in 7 days. Of course after that, the Cubs then play the next 6 days as well so maybe MLB didn't want to do that.

 

So just bad luck the way the schedule worked out as far as when our two remaining home series vs. Milwaukee happened.

I appreciated JD lowkey throwing shade at Yelich, being like “he was one of the great hitters in the game and then all the sudden in 2018 he wasn’t. Nobody could figure it out”

 

Almost like he was cheating or something

I clearly haven't been paying attention lately, but why does Yelich look like Ryan Braun defensively, and Craig Counsell offensively?

 

He’s not cheating anymore

Morel man, he just keeps going

 

I'm so impressed with his plate discipline, he's gonna have a lot more staying power with the types of pitches he isn't chasing, especially in a more reduced role down the line.

His take on the 0-2 pitch right after Willy told him to take a deep breath was legit one of the best takes I've ever seen in my life. That was a really good pitch.

He does that almost every game against Milwaukee. You can tell he thinks Yelich is a cheating punk but he never comes out and says anything negative. I get a huge kick out of it.
