8/18 - Royals (Ragans) vs Cubs (Taillon): 1:20pm, Marquee

[Brock Beauchamp]

The Royal! They're terrible!

[Derwood]

Witt is their only legit threat, so just don’t pitch to him

[CubinNY]

Good ole' Friday afternoon game. Gotta love it.

Ragans is another young-er guy who is already a 2x suvrivor of that ultra safe surgery young people who happen to pitch should just get-out-of-the-way. Avg 96 this year so it was probably worth it

Looks like he was a multi-inning reliever until recently joining the rotation. Has a 2.38 ERA since moving to starter shutting down the Rays, Mets and Red Sox before getting hit a bit by the Cardinals in his last start. 
 

The matchup kind of concerns me with Taillon going up against a lineup with plenty of lefties. He’s gotten better against them recently but still has allowed a .900 OPS against Lefties for the season

[We Got The Whole 9]

Yeah if Taillon gets shelled again I don't see the offense responding with the way they've hit lately

[soccer10k]

Not worried. Cubs win 9-3.

I want to see them in first place Sunday night 🙂

Feel like it’s virtually guaranteed that he hits at least 2 HRs this weekend

A sweep would be great, but I’d be content with a series win. Just keep winning series.

Was using a friends parents account to stream Marquee. Went to turn on the game and it says it’s not available. Went to their cable provider’s website and it’s not available to stream. You can only watch that channel with a cable box. Dumb. Must’ve just changed because I watched Wednesdays game.

And One of them a game winner 🙄

Why does it seem like at least 2-3 times a game they get the first 2 guys on base and get nothing...   ugggh

[Michael Busch Light]

Man does Taillon make some awful pitches.  87 mph cement mixer right down the dick 

[Transmogrified Tiger]

some classic Royals baseball there

Wait I didn't know Bystro was cool, too

What good are you, Wisdom, if you don't hit that pitch to Skokie
