8/8 - Cubs (Taillon) vs Mets (Carrasco): 6:10pm, Marquee

[OleMissCub]

About that time for Taillon to lace up his boots, take his lunch pail out to the mound, and spot the opposing team 4 runs.

Nah, he's been really good since July 1 (5-1, 2.80)

ok. Hopefully, they learned not to pitch to Alonso. 

Idiots

STOP PITCHING TO PETE ALONSO

[jersey cubs fan]

That’s a dong 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Ross deserves a lashing for this 

[jersey cubs fan]

That’s a poorly designed outfield fence. 

[UMFan83]

Matt Olson and Pete Alonso have combined for 5 HRs against the Cubs over the last 4 games. Good stuff

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Need Matt Chapman to yell at David Ross

[chibears55]

Next time Alonso up just put a tee on the plate for him, why pitch to this guy, it freaking Vogelbach hitting behind him.

[abuck1220]

stop horsefeathers pitching to him you horsefeathers clowns 

[Derwood]

I think it's a neat CitiField tradition that when the pitcher strikes out the batter to end the inning, no one behind home plate reacts at all

[jersey cubs fan]

Suzuki would have had it 

[chibears55]

Let get something going here

[muntjack]

Please don't get shut down by Carlos Carrasco.

Carrasco’s ERA over his last 4 starts is 12.33 and he failed to make it through 3 innings in 2 of those starts. Scoreless 1st so far

So a 6 inning shutout tonight 🤷‍♂️😏

[Derwood]

Hoerner and Morel bouth called out on the same pitch

[Irrelevant Dude]

Bellinger is unreal.

[UMFan83]

That’s great that we cut it to 2-1. Even better news is Alonso hits 1st next inning so he can only score 1 run in his AB

[Derwood]

Polar Bear is perhaps the lamest baseball nickname of my lifetime

[UMFan83]

Nice job Gomes

 

not as great getting thrown out at 3rd for the first out of the inning and then forcing the cubs to use their challenge though

Eh, it's more creative than most baseball nicknames.  Better than "PA" or "Lonso"

[Transmogrified Tiger]

that is a low key insane slide from Gomes, good reminder that even 'unathletic' pro players are a different species

[UMFan83]

And then Madrigal gets picked off. Great stuff guys

Pissed away all of that momentum
