Cubs (Taillon) vs Orioles (Kremer): 7/9/24, 5:35pm

I haven’t really been paying attention much lately, why is Mastorbuoni all the sudden playing every game? Who am I missing that is injured? Looking at his game logs he’s certainly not getting starts based on merit.

PCA and tauchman being hurt have kinda made our outfield pretty static and someone has to play third.

Realizing now that bote and wisdom are both on the active roster, so changing my answer to shrug emoji.

Dude what the horsefeathers hell Seiya?

My god Ian

Ok Ian makes it all better 

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Gonna need a second look at whatever that Hottovy/Mallee celebration was in the dugout

[JBears79]

Happy is just absolutely annihilating the ball

Just your typical Stay-out-of-the-double-play-with-fewer-than-two-outs-despite-first-base-being-open takes by Seiya.

I have been told that Happ is a bum who only hits well against Pittsburgh and Cincinnati

Baltimore is kind of dumpy like Cincinnati, maybe they tricked him into thinking he was there.

Well this is unexpected

Not really. A favorable pitching matchup

Yeah I was gonna say, this Cubs team is not exactly known for taking advantage of good pitching matchups lol

I expect the Cubs to score ten runs tonight.

Three more runs and you’ve just become Curly Howard from the Three Stooges when he made all those wishes. “I wish we had a car.”, finds an abandoned car on the side of the road. “I am starved. I wish we had roast chicken and dumpling and hot apple pie.”, stumbles on a house and the homeowner invites them in and has prepared that exact meal. “I wish we had three beautiful women.”, the homeowners has three beautiful daughters who have taken a fancy to them.

Get these final three runs and you might be about to wish your way to an unlikely Cubs World Series this year.😳

Dansby now 1 for his last 29

Belli hasn't bombed since June 12th. Tonight would be alright to pour it on

Disastrous season at the plate. Where is the floor?

He is fouling off or flat out missing a ton of center cut fastballs. If you can't even smash those, you're cooked.

Nice AB Dansby, good god

[Tryptamine]

Equally good AB by Nido. This team has way too many hitters who don't even have competitive at bats.

[mfcubs22]

This is the problem. The good hitters are fine. But not good enough to make up for how truly terrible 4-5 of the hitters in our lineup are every single day.

Leaving the bases loaded earlier in the game probably cooked the chance of 10 runs. I guess that we'll have to wait until tomorrow.

Impressive start for Jamo! Come and get him!
