15

Whoa, what the hell happened to Boog’s hair? 

[Derwood]

K number 165 for Happ

[Irrelevant Dude]

It's getting more difficult to imagine Happ taking anything more than a 1-year prove-it deal in the offseason.

What might help them is 9 of final 15 is at home in September where it might be cooler and wind blowing in.

They’ve already allowed 4 In Seattle which is supposedly a hitters graveyard so they’ll be up to the task. 

[Geographyhater8888]

It’s unfair that Happ is criticized for sucking in high pressure moments. He sucks in low pressure moments just as badly. 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Shota's velo is really bad today

[Irrelevant Dude]

What's the deal with Carson Kelly batting 9th lately?  Has Counsell explained that at all?

The Cubs need to shake up the lineup a little bit from the same ol same ol that theyve had going the last couple years.

Theyll have 4 potential spots to add someone new to it. DH, C, LF, and RF, not saying to change all 4 but at least 2 new bats would be ideal.

Finding a way to lose.. 2-0

Still a decent amount of games left in the regular season, but I agree…..that top WC spot is crucial

Is it tho? I don’t think HFA matters much in baseball.

[Derwood]

you're not going to see two worse throws on steal attempts than those two

 

[JBears79]

Maybe Swanson was the key to holding this team together all along

After the first 3-4 guys, I think Counsell just throws darts for the rest of the order.

Yeah, Kelly is terrible at throwing 

[Geographyhater8888]

It’s hard to outplay a team 3 days in a row and especially on the road, unfortunately that means that Seattle will sweep.

not watching the game but it always looks like he has bedhead. did his hair fall out?

[chibears55]

Hes gonna be over 60 pitches in 2 innings,  he might not even get through 5 today

[Eeyore]

Shota seems to have lost weight 

[ILMindState]

I’m fairly confident a 3 run HR is coming here. 

[Derwood]

nearly 60 pitches to get through 2 innings seems less than ideal

Looks like he finally found a barber, maybe TMac finally said yes to have breakfast with him this morning 😅

Nah, haircut. He now looks like Noel Gallagher.
