The Cubs have a chance to sweep today!

I cringe each time I see Wisdom in the lineup. He's good for one random garbage time home run every few games and that's it. 

[Nolansomebody]

Hmm. No Candelario in the lineup today.

Just giving him a day. They still have to rest guys once in a while.

Ryu coming back front TJS. He’s a strike thrower, but hopefully they can show some patience and get his pitch count up.

For as good as the Cubs have been lately, they have not swept a 3+ game series since mid-June against the Pirates. Their 3 sweeps this year have been at Pirates, vs Pirates and at Oakland. Seems like every time they have a chance to sweep they drop the final game. Hopefully that changes today!

Gonna need a couple big hits from the 6 through 9 in the order today and a solid start from Taillon to probably win this one today.

Good horsefeathers Dansby

[chibears55]

Swanson with the big 2 out pickem up hit

2-0 cubs

[UMFan83]

Seems like Seiya has gone back to being too passive early in counts. Granted those were some good pitches by Ryu and one was a borderline strike but I’ve noticed him taking first pitch strikes again the last 2 days

That top half kicked all kinds of ass. Ryu threw 30 pitches

[UMFan83]

Legit impressive hustle from Vlad. Thought that was a sure DP even with the slow bounce

He may survive the season but I'm getting an increasing sense he's not in the organization next year

[UMFan83]

Taillon has no command today

[UMFan83]

And a 3 run HR, Cubs trail

 

error (called a hit), HBP and HR

He shouldn't survive the day, there has to be someone in Iowa that could come up and be an upgrade to him..

They just need a guy who can give them defense and be able to PH once in a while, heck I'd take Bote over Wisdom now

[Irrelevant Dude]

Taillon is a mess today.

[Derwood]

I don't know that I've ever seen an "umpire interference" call

[Irrelevant Dude]

Time to get Smyly or Wesneski up.

[chibears55]

This is why 6 through 9 in the order needs to come through with some big hits today, gonna need to put a few on the board today.

[chibears55]

Come on Whitesox,  get one more W 

[Derwood]

Apr-Jun Taillon is back today

[UMFan83]

If the Cubs lose this they will fall to 3-9 when attempting to complete a sweep
