Is there a Game Thread? 5/19 Cubs @ Phillies

[UMFan83]

Apologies if one is up somewhere, didn't see it on quick search.  Someone on the Cubs will be attempting to pitch, they will be facing a Phillies starter also attempting to pitch.  Some position players on both teams will play as both teams are prepared to send out those position players at traditional defensive positions.  The game will most likely be 9 innings and at the end of 9 innings a winner will be determined.

Cubs get 2 on but Patrick Wisdom strikes out as he tends to do

[Andy]

Madrigal needs to at least be able to keep that ball in the infield or he has no place on this roster

[UMFan83]

2 on with 0 outs, lets see how this works out for the Cubs

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Cubs have given up first inning runs in 8 of their last 9.

 

first or second inning runs in 10 of 10

I was going to look that up, seems like every time when I settle in to watch the Cubs are losing.

Wow Madrigal really did it, Cubs up 2-1 and still 0 outs

[Transmogrified Tiger]

gonna start calling Madrigal "The Weapon", see if it catches on

[UMFan83]

4-1, this pitcher sucks

[UMFan83]

I know they scored 4 runs in the inning but 1st and 2nd 0 outs with the heart of the order due up and the pitcher on the ropes, not scoring again is a disappointment.

Stroman with 8 runs of support tonight.

A lot of questionable defense from both teams tonight.

[Tryptamine]

Pretty underwhelmed with Mervis. There just aren't a lot of positives to point to so far.

Hoerner ties Wisdom for the team rbi lead!

[Transmogrified Tiger]

what a weird play by Stott, both the slide and spin were unnecessary and slow even if it was low odds of getting Suzuki

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Merryweather since getting shelled in his first outing of the year: 17 IP, 13 H, 5 ER, 20/4 K/BB, 2 HR

EDIT: Updated for his 2nd inning

What if they made the whole team out of Morels

[cl smooth]

Christopher Morel with his 6th home run of the season

[Derwood]

Nice job starting him in AAA for a month, idiots

[Transmogrified Tiger]

welcome back to the big leagues Mike, here's an infielder throwing an eephus with middle school velocity

[UMFan83]

The new plan is to not start game threads until after the game starts. 

[Nolansomebody]

Bout time we won again.

[PackLandVA]

UMFan83 - you're taking today's game again, right? Gotta make this a "win streak".
