I believe in you Palencia

I keep saying Justin Tucker 😂 

I said Kyle Turner to my brother earlier this season and I nearly died of cringe and embarrassment. 

[WhyCantWeWin]

Insane Elly managed to hit that fastball

[Derwood]

Getting 0-2 and not getting the K is SO frustrating

[Hot Sauce]

Wow. That was close.

[UMFan83]

So Cubs catchers are tied with PCA for the team lead in HRs lol

[Hot Sauce]

101 up in the zone! 🔥 

[Hot Sauce]

Cubs win!

[WhyCantWeWin]

Had this one written off as a loss, good horsefeathers

[Derwood]

Cubs 9-3 since we got to the "easy" part of the schedule.

Vs. COL

vs. CIN

@ WSH next 3 series

[Wilson A2000]

Cohen compared Palencia’s legs to Mike Alstott’s and the Fridge‘s

[chibears55]

Wow, Big W

We have a closer

 

2 game Sunday streak 😅

[We Got The Whole 9]

What a horsefeathers offense man. The catcher production has been ridiculous. Huge props to Pomeranz. Hoyer absolutely nailed that pickup. 

 

And Palencia got a lot of whiffs there in the 9th. 

 

Feels amazing to win that one too.

Me to.  Ha, ha pissant Reds, Cubs SP making you like all stars and still couldn't win series!  Don't look now but, outside of Merryweather and, one bad pitch by Palencia, the bullpen has been near spotless.

I predict when the Reds come to Wrigley guys like Hays, Trevino, and, to some extent, Espinal won't be hitting as they did this series.  And a Happ hot streak is forth coming.

How many 3+ game series a year do you think have no innings end with the score tied?

[BigbadB]

Funny reading all the doom bonering in these threads. This team loves embarrassing all you negative Nancy’s. 

[gflore34]

As nice as it was to win 2 of 3 this scoring 11, 8 runs over innings 6-9 thing is not going to last forever.  Someone, anyone, has to give the Cubs average SP beyond Boyd and Taillon.

For those keeping track, 'zuks lead MLB in RBI with PCA 1 behind.

Oopsies.

Turned the game off with the Cubs trailing 8 to 3 because I was at work. I got home and to see they won. Well, alrighty then.

Seiya has had great runs like this before but seems like every time things are going well he gets hurt. We’re finally seeing what a healthy(ish) Seiya can do over an extended period

To save money, Marquee is just going to give us a Cohen/Zaidman booth next year

If it meant having more money for a decent starter or 2, I would be happy if the booth was Alex Cohen and a Jimmy Carr laugh track playing after every AB. 

[UMFan83]

The Cubs have scored 10+ runs in 23% of their games this year. Is that good? Feels like that is good

[gflore34]

Brown can't remain in the rotation, it's Iowa time for him, work him as reliever.  Should he excel, bring him back up for a try in the bullpen.  Time for Wicks?  I'd keep Flexen as a mop up/innings guy and try Wicks.
