Reds (Lowder) vs Cubs (Peterson): 8/28/26, 1:20pm

[chibears55]

Of course, mow down the first 2 guys, give up a homer to the 9th batter.

[Geographyhater8888]

Only .2 war away from 30th. 

[chibears55]

Felt good with their chances to get one between Bregman Happ Hoerner and Ramirez due up, 2 might be stretching it

[BKHoo]

It’s unreal how many HRs we give up.

To complete scrubs

Cubs could pitch 7 perfect innings and you just know that homerun ball will be coming in those final 2 innings

[Irrelevant Dude]

That pitch to Happ... Does anyone else feel like they need to shrink the strike zone just slightly?

Most HRs allowed by team and their record:

1. Athletics - 204 (53-81)

2. Cubs - 202 (76-59)

3. Nationals - 187 (63-73)

4. Astros - 177 (67-67)

5. Reds - 169 (63-71)

6. Royals - 165 (60-75)

That was a yawner of a 9th inning 

 

[Rcal10]

I know Thornton sucked so that means the entire pen should be burned down. But if the Cubs don’t give the reds 5 outs in the 7th it is a tie game. Can’t play bad defense AND have a bad pen.

Anyone catch the end of Counsell press, a reporter asked him about Rea and something about a report of Counsell being afraid, Counsell said he had no comments on that and left.

Anyone know what that's about

[chibears55]

Cubs last 4 games they have gotten really good SP, scored a combined 19 runs, yet they have only won 1 game 🙄

SP last 4 games..

Gausman 7 ip 0 runs win

Holmes 7 ip 0 runs  loss

Boyd 6 ip 1 runs loss

Peterson  5 ip 2 runs loss

[NorthsideAvenger]
