8/24 - Cubs (Steele) vs Pirates (TBD): 6:05pm, Marquee

[UMFan83]

This is the pitcher who was on the Dodgers that we hit like 5 HRs against back in April

[Tryptamine]

Getting absolutely handled by a terrible pitcher the last 3 innings

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Happ will be hitting below the Mendoza line by the end of the year and still batting 3rd.

[Tryptamine]

Blown strike 3 turns into a double play 

[chibears55]

Let go..

put a big crooked number on the board and turn this game into a rout

[Tryptamine]

They're not going to score again,  are they?

[UMFan83]

13 of last 15 Cubs retired since the hit to make it 3-0

[Irrelevant Dude]

Every game is a struggle...

[UMFan83]

Come on Tauchman, unnecessary extra base

 

Edit: then nice jump to get the 3rd out

6 innings 2 er against this guy is laughably terrible 

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Can’t even get a runner in scoring position to make the Pirates sweat a little.

[UMFan83]

Remember when the Cubs scored 36 runs over a 2 game span earlier this month?

[LBiittner]

WE STINKS 

[abuck1220]

was hoping to roll over the bad part of the lineup (aka the 2 and 3 hitters making a combined $40 mil) last inning

Have they scored 36 total since....lol

[UMFan83]

Dammit Boog I was doing something in the kitchen and heard him get excited about Bellingers hit only to see it was a well hit but ultimately harmless fly ball

[Tryptamine]

This umpire is not great

[Tryptamine]

They go from 1 hit away from blowing the game open in the 2nd inning to never having another baserunner reach 2nd. 

[Irrelevant Dude]

This offense needs a shot in the arm. It's time to try something different. Get Mervis in the lineup, something. It can't get much worse.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

I’m terrified of Connor Joe reaching base

[Tryptamine]

Fulmer is not good.

[abuck1220]

one of these days, the jump to an early lead against a bad team, then completely shut down and let them come back and then eke out a win with a late run strategy is gonna not work.

Tonight could be one of those days.

[abuck1220]
