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

[JHBulls]

I just found out that Eloy Jiménez plays for the Blue Jays. And now I am convinced that Jiménez and Cease come as a package deal.

I think they just released him.

He was in AAA. I saw him play in Buffalo a few weeks ago

Too bad about Luke Little, dude just can't throw enough strikes, never could.

He was but they released him yesterday...probably for Bateman?

Civale is going to have to give us 2 innings this game

At least.

[Tryptamine]

9 baserunners through 4 and only 1 run, a golden horseshoe up his ass so far.

[chibears55]

Peterson standing at the tip of a ledge this game,  only his stupidity is the difference in game. 

Crazy , one pitcher totally shutting a team down and another is giving up baserunners every inning,  yet its a 1 run game cause of a dumb pick off attempt balk. 😅

what a gamer, has another level, real true competitor

[Geographyhater8888]

Peterson is clutch.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Well at least we won't get no hit

[UMFan83]

Dammit we could be hitting our 4th HR off Taillon right about now, instead we're getting no one hit by Cease.

[Derwood]

Oh look, a non-competitive at bat by Happ

[Tryptamine]

Pretty thrilled Happ's contract is over at the end of this year. It really is starting to feel like he's washed. .639 OPS since June 1st spanning 221 PAs.

[Andy]

I really don't want to lose 1-0 on a stupid 3rd disengagement balk

[PeanutPunch33]

I don't see how the Cubs can take Peterson out of the rotation when Cabrera comes back.

Too far.

[Geographyhater8888]

Hopefully Happ can pull a heater out of his ass like Swanson. He’s been awful for 2 months with no signs of life. 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

I really dislike Kirk

He has been pretty bad today. 

[squally1313]

A Cabrera/Peterson piggyback situation, Rea as the long/mop up man, Assad staying stretched out in AAA is probably the best path at the moment. Not sure what the plan is with Garrett.

I can't tell if sarcasm.

I disagree, he's given up nothing but soft ground balls with a few exceptions.  Outside of a horrible balk, game should be 0-0 after 5 innings.  He's done his job.  

If Cabrera was pitching today, we'd get the Cabrera special.  3 ER after 5 IP.
