Seiya!  Really nice grab.  I thought that was a definite double.

[Jason Ross]

Great catch, Seiya.

This is the sixth game thread of the 2023 season that has gone over 100 replies.

We'll revive these damned things if we just keep at it.

98, okay Adbert

[Brock Beauchamp]

Oh for horsefeathers's sake

[UMFan83]

Oh my God Morel.  Are you kidding me?

[CubinNY]

Morel is breaking my heart

[UMFan83]

Here comes a Willy go ahead HR...

 

Or a HBP.

That was...less than optimal, Christopher.

And here Contreras with tying run on base and 2 outs

Alzolay is breaking Will's wrist.

[chibears55]

Ouch.. that had to hurt

[UMFan83]

This turned scary in a hurry.  

[UMFan83]

Now the ump decides to tigheten the strike zone

[Brock Beauchamp]

Okay, that's over.

[CubinNY]

Yes. Yes. Yes!

[UMFan83]

Cubs win!  Didn't have to make it so scary but good stuff.

[chibears55]

Ballgame.....

I'm guessing Alzolay is nearly a lock to be their closer next season

I've certainly enjoyed the Alzolay closer experience, and it'd be nice to have a key roster spot not be a giant gaping hole going into 2024.

We'll likely not see Contreras tomorrow and maybe Sunday 🤷‍♂️

Thanks Ron Kulpa!!

Cubs are undefeated when Barnhart, Madrigal, or Mastrobuoni homers.

I don't want to see anyone hurt, especially not Willson, but I'm 100% sure Willy was hitting a 2 run HR if he wasn't plunked.

Yeah, he's the likely bet to keep the spot.  I think we'll see a few BP prospects who will come up and start taking some leverage spots sometime into 2024 as well (Palencia, Estrada if he can get right, Little, Hodge, etc...)
