Cubs (Hendricks) vs Dodgers (Buehler): 9/9/24, 9:10pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Awesome, get done with the Yankees and immediately travel to face the Dodgers.

[CubinNY]

Weee. I will be asleep before it starts. 

[Bertz]

Walker Buehler is totally washed, but of course so is Hendricks so today still looks fairly bleak.

[LBiittner]

Is Jeb still in Japan?

That might explain why a kid hasn't replaced kyle in the rotation 

[Derwood]

No way I stay up for this

[CubinNY]

I'd bet a fair amount of money that Suttcliffe will be doing color for these games. So no one will miss anything of value.

Cam Smith promoted to AA already

[chibears55]

Mets just jumped the Braves for the 3rd WC spot

[Irrelevant Dude]

JD didn't make the trip because, of course he didn't.  College of broadcasters continues.

They just won't lose

Hello my late night friends, hopefully Bellinger hits a few more dongs. Really want him to opt out

[Irrelevant Dude]

Hendricks made Ohtani look bad there.  Can he do that a second time through?

[Irrelevant Dude]

Kyle is looking really sharp so far.  All the Dodgers hitters appear to be off balance.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Kyle says they can't beat me if I walk the big 3

[chibears55]

I don't care if the Cubs are up 10, Hendricks can not face the lineup a 3rd time, just count your blessings if he made it twice around and move on from him.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Is Kyle just terrified to throw the ball in the zone the 2nd and 3rd time through the order, knowing that guys are going to hit it 500 feet?  Or does he completely lose his command for other reasons?  The same thing has been happening all season and even during Spring Training.

[JHBulls]

The forum should horsefeathers the bed every day if it means the Cubs are going to play like this. 

[Transmogrified Tiger]

absurd pick by Busch, have a day

[Irrelevant Dude]

Why does PCA seemingly have so much trouble with diving catches?  Obviously he can get to balls that most other players can't, but there have been many times this season where he dives for the ball and seems to lose track of it.

[Irrelevant Dude]

That Greg Maddux story was hilarious, and something I can definitely imagine Maddux saying.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Hey 29 other teams.  Are you SURE you don't want Drew Smyly?

PCA thanks you.

As I was saying...

[Stratos]

Noticed the Cubs have the 5th best team ERA in the MLB.  13th in xFIP

[JHBulls]

I’m shocked that Willie Harris didn’t go with his usual “horsefeathers it, this will be pretty close-ish” send.
