Blue Jays (Cease) vs Cubs (Peterson): 08/06/26, 1:20 PM

[chibears55]

Regular lineup today 

[bukie]

The Jays may be 54-61, but they are in the AL, which puts them just 3 games out of a playoff spot.

I still feel bad for them over the WS loss last year.  Imagine getting that close, I would be dead.

Seeing that the Cubs would be 6 games up on holding onto a bye if they were in the AL

I would've quit baseball

WTF, Peterson. You can't risk (or forget about, as he apparently did) the 3rd disengagement with a runner at third base

[mk49]

That was pretty stupid.

[chibears55]

WTF is Peterson doing?

Gave them a free run there 🤦

[Derwood]

Um, ok

[chibears55]

I know it Cease, I hope the bats are awake today and can put up at least 5

[Derwood]

Not getting a great feeling about this one

[Tryptamine]

Peterson pretty much assuring there's no rotation spot for him going forward.

[Derwood]

3 hits, 2 walks and a balk in 2 IP

There probably wasn't a spot for him regardless, and it sure hasn't felt good, but if he doesn't throw that dumb pickoff, it's a scoreless game.

I'm getting the "sign in with Marquee" message on my laptop at work but no issue getting the game on my phone 12" from my laptop.  Weird.

You know as well as I, that scoreless is nice, but 5 baserunners in 2 innings is awful and getting out of that with even 1ER is lucky.

My son was having a similar issue on his computer, but it's working fine for me.  So something is up.

[BKHoo]

I’d say only the top 2 hitters (and Conforto) will probably tend down from their current OPS.  All the others could trend up based on their careers stats.

this will be tough to come back from if the Cubs can't hold them to 1 or 2.  Cease has been that good... 

[Derwood]

For a guy who gives us mostly ground balls, he gives up a lot of base hits on ground balls

[chibears55]

This is probably Peterson last start and its not looking good so far with all these baserunners and close to 50 pitches in the 3rd

Gausman Holmes Boyd over the weekend.

At least we aren't going to score today

[mul21]

He's not locating well but there was only one ball hit remotely hard that inning.  Kirk absolutely smoked it though.

[squally1313]

Allowing a bunch of guys to get on base but getting out of it with minimal actual damage? That sounds vaguely familiar....

[Post Count Padder]

Can we get Thielbar on the phantom injury IL?

Also, RIP Cubs Luke Little
