[We Got The Whole 9]

Hell yeah Thielbar. Undeterred.

[JHBulls]

7 in a row. Nice! 

[chibears55]

Lmao, Swanson telling Kingery, get the fuk away 😅😅😅😅

[squally1313]

lol Dansby with a ‘Scott, get the horsefeathers away from me’ wave off 

[SparkMark1]

Love Dansby telling Kingery to back the F off

[Rcal10]

More adventure than we needed. But nice win. 

[Tryptamine]

Dansby was pretty emphatic with that wave off

[Radar3454]

Should've let Kingery take that lol

[Bertz]

Dansby waiving off Kingery on that popup to end it killed me

Shut up Dorn

[chibears55]

Thank you Theilbar 

W, keep it rolling boys

[cl smooth]

Cobs? More like CUBS. 7 in a row!

[mk49]

Shota was great.  At the moment, he's our ace. 

Hopefully, Boyd will pitch well tomorrow, and we get 8 win in a row.

I'm sure someone is gonna tell me like "we did it in '24 dufus" but it feels like we haven't won tbe season series against the Phillies in a long time?

[BKHoo]

NL Central 25 games above 500

Looks like we went 6-0 against them in '22 (WTF?!?) but otherwise hadn't had a winning season against them since '18.

So is am not entirely sure if the rules, but couldn’t Craig have but Bregman into the game at 3rd and just lose the DH. If that’s the rule, CC screwed up. Who cares about the Dah when you have a 4 run lead. 

I wasn't sure about the rules, so I had to find out.

Yes, a Designated Hitter (DH) can play a defensive position later in the game, but doing so forfeits the team's DH role for the rest of the game.
 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

in defense of Craig he had no reason to believe Kingery was a Phillies double agent

[mk49]

Do we have one of the best SP rotations right now?  At least, in the last 10 games or so?

This rotation could have been a monster with a healthy Steele, Horton, Boyd and this version of Shota and Cabrera

After 5 games, I trust Shota a lot, but not Cabrera yet.  But, yes, I agree, if Cade didn't get hurt, and Steele coming back, it could have been really good rotation.

I really hope Steele will be good again.
