9/11 - Cubs (Wicks) vs Rockies (Freeland): 7:40pm, Marquee

[chibears55]

Looking forward to next season rotation with Steele,  Assad, and Wicks..

Wish they could find a way to move Taillon so they can add a veteran TOR guy

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Tauchman? Cmon.

[PeanutPunch33]

Sale and wicks is kind of like prime sale and Quintana.. except way better and so many arms coming up behind/next to them 

[UMFan83]

Not to be that guy that says “why not PCA instead of Tauchman” but why not PCA instead of Tauchman?

Well, he's pinch-running

Why not both?

[UMFan83]

PCA!

[Transmogrified Tiger]

lol

Tauchman: "I'm gonna show em that I can still do the job" [rips a single]

Ross: "great job, we're pulling you for the kid"

[Irrelevant Dude]

Just bad luck on that pitch being up and in and a perfect throw.

[UMFan83]

Well that’s a bummer

[We Got The Whole 9]

How the horsefeathers did they make that play?

[Irrelevant Dude]

Well, we could possibly get a PCA at bat in the 9th.

[squally1313]

FG has us as the best baserunning team in the baseball, which I guess is a testament to how good we've been because we have just been terrible at stealing bases this past week or so. 

[WhyCantWeWin]

That was a pretty impressive tag by the 3B

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Well that was fun

Just by the way he was acting in the dugout, it didn't seem like.he was coming back out.  Tauchman PH for Wisdom, so I bet Candy takes 1b and PCA takes the rest of the night off.

Moreno is the toughest C to run on this year

That would be really dumb, but also marginally not worth getting upset over.

That would be silly considering that is an objectively worse defense.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Regardless of execution, trying to steal third in Coors against the Rockies pen with the top of the order up seems like a dubious decision

[Jason Ross]

Happy to be wrong.  Totally agree, PCA in the defense is better.  He was pretty nonchalant about grabbing a glove but looking back they did the mid-inning salute so thats probably what I read as nonchalant. He knew he had time

I keep forgetting Pat is calling the game because Sutcliffe just talks and talks and talks. Then pauses before talking some more
