Maybe the Rockies want to send KB back to Chicago. A) For the nostalgia hit and B) Because he really couldn’t be any worse than what’s been trotted out at 3rd base this year. 

Put KB at 3rd and Rizzo for DH against Righties 🤷‍♂️😅

Cubs are now 4-1 against the Dodgers in North America.

[PeanutPunch33]

PCA had 6 hits and 7 RBIs this series lol.  Kid has finally arrived, another month of this and he's on MVP watch

Sadly, hes got a degenerative disc.

Bullpen was nails those last 3 IP.  Took the season series against LA . Took season series against Dbacks and tied with SD . 
 

Things don’t get any easier as they get Luzardo on Friday and he has been dominant so far .

It wasn’t something I would want to see happen (KB back in Chicago), but that sucks for KB. 😞

Oh I know. It's more I feel bad for the guy.

Counsell not using Pressly. He wasn’t horsefeathers around!

[Jason Ross]

Random aside; Alex Cohen is a good voice. I really like Boog, but I really like Cohen too. It's nice to have two guys who can bring it in the booth.

Wooo! I was able to breathe just a tad easier. 
the bullpen closed out fashionably and the offense showed up again. Can’t believe it but another good game for the most part.

I can't stand Alex. There is ZERO chemistry between him and JD, and it feels like he's forcing his delivery. Maybe with time he'll grow on me, but he seems every bit a subpar fill-in for me. 

That said, to each his own!

Knee issue for Pressly.

Off day tomorrow, give Suzuki some rest, hopefully good to go for the Phillies series.  Cubs always seem to lose these type of games anyway, favorable pitching match ups both for and against just never seem to fall their way.  Even though it's annoying as all hell I'd rather be cautious now to pay off later.

This didn't age well, thank horsefeathers goodness.  It's so beyond awesome the Cubs took the combined season series against the top three teams in the NL West!!!  11-9 baby!!! 20 of the first 26 games against three of the best teams in the NL and the Cubs did not get buried, in fact, they thrived!!!  Now on to the NFL draft finally!!!!

I don't think it's really fair to judge chemistry after only a handful of games together.

Had it drained last night. Might be ready on Friday. Seiya day to day. 

[Bertz]

Up to the moment MLB WAR leaders

Aaron Judge 2.5

Corbin Carroll - 1.8

Fernando Tatis Jr. - 1.7

PCA - 1.7

Tucker- 1.6

Yeah. The chemistry isn't all the way there but theyre new. That will come with time.

His calls and how he interacts flows really well. 

Ill also admit I watch more than my fair share of I-Cubs games and I have some Alex Cohen experience under my belt.

[Wilson A2000]

Counsell said that Seiya is banned from sliding headfirst because that’s how he keeps hurting his finger and he didn’t sound like he was joking

[Derwood]

PCA needs to be leading off, Happ can bat 5th, and Swanson can bat 7th

I know nobody slides feet first anymore, but if the runner slides hard with his spikes into the blocking leg, I bet the 3B doesn't do that next time.

Except Happ, who would've been safe at home yesterday if he'd slid head first

[We Got The Whole 9]

Only 1 walk issued today. More of that please. 

 

This team is freaking strong. They are scoring an absurd amount of runs this year.
