9/23 - Rockies (Flexen) vs Cubs (Stroman): 1:20pm, Marquee

[Brock Beauchamp]

Stroman is back!

[Rex Buckingham]

I'm guessing Stro gets through the order once and then we see Wicks

[chibears55]

Swanson has had a good couple games with the bat, so obviously Ross will move him down in the order now.. 😅🤣

Nevermind

Flexen' really bad, Rockies have one win in his last five starts, which, of course, was against the Cubs.  All the Cubs need to do is clobber the guys the whole league has been pounding and they'll be okay.

The story of the last 2 weeks lol

because I’m weird I’ve been tracking the performance of some of the terrible guys that shut us down in their next starts

Pfaadt (5.1 IP, 0 R) - 4.1 IP, 6 R vs NYY

Blach (5 IP, 3 R) - 3.2 IP, 7 ER

Freeland (6 IP, 3 R) - 3 IP, 1 R (got hurt)

Nelson (5.2 IP, 1 R) - 4.1 IP, 6 R

No way he beats us twice. Right? Riiiiiiight?

Was this the game we had everyone get on base and run into outs on the bases?

Arizona rained out in NY today. Instead of a DH tomorrow, they reschedule a game against the White Sox from Monday to Thursday and will play Monday.  You don’t see that happening too often.

[gflore34]

Think there's an excellent chance the Marlins lose tonight, Woodruff has dominated them, Diamondbacks were postponed, Pirates-Reds: bad pitcher vs. bad picther, still wouldn't be shocked if the Pirates win.  Cubs take care of business, good things will happen.

Huh. I don't know if I've seen that happen before.

I’m guessing it’s because they are concerned with rain affecting the Sunday game as well as it’s supposed to rain much of Sunday too

[Brock Beauchamp]

I’m still kind of astounded the Cubs are holding a postseason spot as of this writing. For as many teams that are vying for the final spot, no one is charging toward the finish line.

Brewers are playing to win the division too. I expect them to try to lock it up tonight.  Cubs start 2 hours earlier so they need to do their part by not being in a losing position when their game starts. 
 

if they clinch tonight I expect a full forfeit lineup tomorrow

Unbelievable catch to rob the Cubs of a run. Damn 

[Rcal10]

Just going to say it….. PCA catches Bryant’s ball.

[UMFan83]

And quickly after that it’s tied

[UMFan83]

2-1….

[CubinNY]

Sto not helping

[UMFan83]

Maybe Stroman wasn’t ready to start. 3-1 Rockies as Cubs can’t get off the field. This is rough

[We Got The Whole 9]

Pretty sure the Cubs left Brenton Doyle's scouting report on the cutting room floor 

[chibears55]

Looks like a football Saturday...

Cubs gonna need a touchdown or more to win this one

[chibears55]

Too bad Swanson wasn't hitting 5th..

😅🤣😂

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Flexen is just too damn good.

[chibears55]

Sometimes you just cant mess with a guy who hitting well and move them in the order, just leave them alone.

Oh and Swanson 4-10 since the talk of moving out of 5 hole on here...   lol

Just messing with you all 😅

[Derwood]

I read this thread and expected the score to be 7-1. Quit being ninnies, you ninnies!
