Was Happ pulled to give him a few innings of rest or did I miss something?

I assume just getting a few innings off while the game is out of hand.

Yeah, on these lopsided wins, Counsel tries to get the bench ABs.

[CubinNY]

Cubs R good

[JHBulls]

Cubs win! 

No one is happier for that game to be over than the umpire.

I’m definitely having the most fun with this season since 2016. Sucks to have so much injury trouble with our starters but this offense is fuuuuun

Did Boog die?

I hope he’s back soon. Can’t handle much more of Alex Cohen. He’s also a “years young” guy. Thom Brennaman and Chip Carey are too so that should tell you all you need to know. I hate when people say “years young.” So douchey. Rant over. 🙂

Right. That ump was the worst I’ve seen all year on balls and strikes. 

[The_Achiever]

Belt to ass.  Whooping up on good teams.  

[Bertz]

Curious if Hollowell heads immediately back down tomorrow.  It's becoming clear that under Counsell a 2 inning relief appearance for an optionable arm is a kiss of death.

Yeah, he sucked. But I meant more to the point that he was hit in the face mask twice and once in the shoulder. The night was ****** for him.

[Soul]

This team is getting the most out of its players right now.  Hope it keeps rolling.  It occurs to me that perhaps this is why Counsell matters.

[Bertz]

The Cubs' 4 game lead is the biggest of any division frontrunner right now

I'm not a big Boog guy, his smartest guy in the room schtick ain't for me.  And I don't necessarily dislike Cohen in a vacuum, but the chemistry between he an JD is downright awful, so much so I'm at the point where I prefer Boog!!

[Brian707]

Did Boog get deported?

[Clem Fandango]

Man, they just keep beating up on good teams.

They’re not really even conversing with each other. They’re on two separate audio tracks.

Coen feels like he's cosplaying an announcer. Don't like the cut of his gib. He feels like the guy that is too comfortable with everyone, that it makes everyone uncomfortable. 

He seems like the guy that tells his best friends' secrets to the cool kids just for some short lived attention.

WOW, I am honestly shocked at people having so much to say and so many opinions of announcers I hardly notice them. At least not enough to care who is announcing. This topic comes up every year and every year I am amazed by it.

I hear the music in every restaurant and mall. I, unfortunately, cannot push sound to the background. It's not ideal.

[Derwood]

Yeah, Cohen is bad. He's in AAA for a reason.

I’m really good at it.  Ask my wife and she’ll tell you it’s not a valuable skill.

[WhyCantWeWin]

I dont typically listen to the broadcast (watch games on mute) so idk how cohens been but he does seem pretty cringey
