4/2 - Brewers (Lauer) at Cubs (Taillon) 1:20 PM CT, Marquee

[UMFan83]

Mad Men has failed us

Long live Succession

Yes Greg the Egg, for real.  Big (for the Cubs) FA signing Jameson Taillon makes his Cubs debut vs. one of the random Brewers pitchers I don't really pay any attention to because they aren't Burnes or Woodruff.

Oh horsefeathers my bad, no more Mad Men...

Dansby Swanson, probably:

 

My prediction, the Cubs will win 7-4

(btw, holy horsefeathers there are so many good Succession gifs that are fitting for game threads in the gif searcher, enjoy)

Does it count if this is how I hope Succession ends?

[Bertz]

Jed Hoyer after every Matt Mervis PA

 

[UMFan83]

Yan Gomes hitting 5th, our 3rd string catcher starting at DH, Patrick Wisdom in RF, the 2023 Chicago Cubs everyone!

Don't lose, losers.

Our lineup is so bad.

[UMFan83]

1, 2, 3, but 2 hard hit balls

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Nice beginning for Cubs in the bot of 1, but watch there will be three straight outs now. 

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I am liking Swanson. 

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Dansby is on fire!!

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Feels like you can just stop caring about the offense once we get out of 1-3.

one hit from Mancini, then none from anyone else outside the top 3 in the order

and that hit was in the 3rd inning of game 1.  So we're at 15 innings and counting with only 3 guys collecting hits

I believe that K pitch was the sweeper we've been hearing so much about?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Two hits on two pitches out of the zone from two turd hitters.

[Rex Buckingham]

Little Sammy hop there from Wisdom

[UMFan83]

Well there’s a hit outside the top 3 

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I like Wisdom. He hits home runs for the Cubs.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

ball go far

[UMFan83]

I feel like I got a little spoiled watching our starters going 6 IP with 0 ER

[jersey cubs fan]

This Jameson guy kind of stinks 

[UMFan83]

[UMFan83]

I understand the whole Leiter reverse splits thing but it seems crazy to me that we don’t have a lefty in the pen. 

[UMFan83]

Cubs offense goes 1,2,3

[UMFan83]

Flipping back to the game and seeing the Brewers hit a 2 run single to blow open the game

BABIP’ed to death today.
