Cubs (Wicks) vs Nationals (Parker): 9/1/24, 12:35pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

I have to give this team some credit, they're trying their best to keep things interesting as we head into September.

[Bertz]

Assuming Mastro for the next ~2 weeks and then Caissie once the Iowa season ends?

I think it depends whether that are still hanging on in the playoff race at that point. If so, they probably stick with Mastrobuoni.  If not, then they give someone like Caissie a shot 

[Irrelevant Dude]

Have the Cubs announced any of their upcoming starting pitchers beyond today's game?

Taillon is next up in the order, but Steele will be on 5 days rest going into Monday.

Good to see Mastrobuoni back, he’s exactly the young type of talent you want to see in a September callup. Also his batting line at AAA is the guidance on whether or not a player is MLB ready.

I don't know who Gavin Hollowell and Trey Wingenter are, but apparently they're on the Cubs 40 man roster.  I assume one of those two get the boot.

They moved Madrigal to 60 day IL to make room

[LBiittner]

Wisdom in the lineup? Maybe mastroboni can fill in for him later in the game? Make it a true white-flag sunday?

[Brock Beauchamp]

Damn, Bellinger missed that by a foot. 

[LBiittner]

I've missed Wicks. He's been one of my favorite pitching prospects since cubs drafted him

[Cubbies1996]

Man, just barely missing on some of these. Hopefully they can start making him pay for pitch location the second time through the order 

[Irrelevant Dude]

That was big to get out of bases loaded no out only giving up 1 run.

[Cubbies1996]

Sheesh Bellinger…

[Irrelevant Dude]

Come on Cody. That was awful.

[WhyCantWeWin]

Awful PA by Bellinger 

[CubinNY]

Paredes!!!

 

[Chicago Al]

That was huge right there by Paredes

[Derwood]

Bellinger not seeing the slider well today

Nice to see him go the opposite way.

If he tries to pull that it’s going right to third, that was good hitting.

PC motherfucking A. 
 

[Irrelevant Dude]

PCA is just a nightmare to play against.

Maybe he's good at baseball after all

[Donzo]

Paredes wth the glove and bat! He's having a week.

Note to self: Do not make judgements after 10 games.
