Gotta find a position for Morel, cuz the bat PLAYS

He's a DH. Doesn't look like one, but that's where he fits since they can't afford to give him a run out at any position

[Tryptamine]

Kyle is going to be lucky to get through 5 if he doesn't start getting more efficient 

[UMFan83]

I haven’t paid much attention to the white Sox but one thing I keep hearing about is how great Jake Burger is.  I look at he’s hitting .214 with a .770ish OPS.  Thats pretty good and he has really nice power but not what I was expecting. 

[Eeyore]

Second best shortstop on the team 😉

In NLC/WC related news:

Phillies losing 3-2 in the 8th

Brewers/Reds are scoreless in 4th

Marlins lost to the Rays

Giants, Padres and Diamondbacks play later on

I never place "to hit a home run" bets.

A few weeks ago while on the train to Wrigley, I placed an impulse bet on Bellinger to hit a home run.  He hit 2 that night.

Today I was watching pregame coverage on Marquee and they had a promo for Dinger Tuesdays.  I thought, "I have a feeling Dansby is going to hit one tonight" and got my bet in just a few minutes before game time.  He has 2 (and counting).

So my question is, who should I bet on tomorrow night?

Lmao Mastrobuoni was clearly off the bag and out but the White Sox decline to challenge. Have they just completely given up?

Or just throw a perfect game and forget about it.

7-pitch 4th to put him at 50 pitches.

That inning certainly helped

Just want everyone to know that I told Miles Mastrobouni "good luck" at the July 14th game during the season ticket holders autograph session and ever since then he is hitting .363 with his first career HR. 

I'm taking credit for it

How do you find out about autograph sessions?  I'm a Season Ticket  holder and nobody has ever given me information about any of them.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Bellinger with the hug for Nico. That was great.

[CubsRule08]

What a slide by Nico

"Had to wait for the coin to come down.". Really good line from JD on the late strike call.

I didn't realize there was a Cub broadcast,  I've been putting myself through Stone for no reason apparently.

Yikes. I feel sorry for you

[chibears55]

Gotta feeling if they sweep the Sox and take 3 of 4 from the Cards again,  we may see the Cubs stay as is and probably just add a couple upgrade to the roster.

3B, relievers, maybe a SP

I was listening to the radio and didn't hear Swanson's name, so I got confused.

Yea, that a big reason why I haven't watched much Sox games the last few years, I couldn't stand Harrelson and Stone seems to be declining alot on the mic.

For the record,  I'm not a fan of Boog either

Tonight could be Hendricks last start as a Cub, and tomorrow could be Stroman last start.

I find that highly unlikely.

[UMFan83]

Phillies came back in the 9th to beat the Orioles.  They will need the Diamondbacks or Giants to lose tonight if they want to gain a game in the WC today I believe (and the Cubs finish off the win of course)

[BearDown1223]

I think Hendricks is a Cub in 2024

[CubsRule08]

Nico!
