Now today is why Jed traded for Kevin Gausman. 

Yes, like i posted before game,  they needed a good 6+ inning start out of him tonight and more of them going forward

We’re going to be really screwed when all those good playoff teams (checks notes) decide to start bad starters and leave them in for too long

Lol, relax bull, we're just having fun here

I wasn't fully watching his last inning to see one of the run was his

lol, sorry. Just finished a 40 page PhD paper minutes before the game started. I'm hopped up on coffee and my radar is hyper-sensitive to making sure arguments and logic are consistent.

Also the illegible ESPN "yips" commercial may be causing some sort of psychosis in me.

You also posted the Dbacks have 3 starting pitchers better than any starter the Cubs have. Who are those 3 guys?

Damn... we're all good lol

I agreed with you on jeckyll n hyde, though me calling them that was mainly in zest.🙂

This offense rocks 

[mk49]

Happ doesn't suck.

[Geographyhater8888]

Cubs offense is too inconsistent on an a per Inning basis.

Not sure how that post is relevant to this one but...

That post was about top SP from all the playoffs teams that the bats will have to face, said nothing about being better than cubs starting pitchers. 
Rodriguez.     2.71 ERA
Pfaadt.          3.39 ERA
Soroka.          2.93 ERA

What a night from Gausman

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Alright Kevin, back in the circle

[mk49]

Great bounce back by Gausman.  It's especially nice, after seeing Boyd and Shota struggling for a while.

Amazing start from Gausman. Time to give Zeferjahn mop-up duty, or is Rea back to long man?

 

[Soul]

You can only hope to contain Conforto

[mk49]

Wow, Conforto is on fire tonight.

[Derwood]

Zef with a clean inning!

Not quite yet.

[chibears55]

Anybody know how they came up with the players for the 150

[JHBulls]

Carson Kelly was an inch away from turning into Kelly. 

[Bull]

Theilbar has to be gone soon, right? When Steele comes back?
