Crappy weather, two Wild Card teams squaring off, a Friday doubleheader... what more could you ask for just before October?

Let’s see how these hungover cubs look having to fly to Boston and play a double header with 27 innings of baseball packed into a 27 hour window. 

Because for some reason, Manfred or whoever cares more about the Phillies and Padres horsefeathers over the Cubs than logistics. 
 

Will the storm effect their ability to travel too?

Yeah its BS, but I think tomorrow is going to be a travel day to Tampa and finish this horsefeathers Sunday

Yeah. Let’s just hope it’s safe to fly.

BS they have to play through this. Its almost a safety issue at this point too. Hope the rain holds off until the ganes are done.

I was wondering how they'd fit Steele onto the roster and it looks like this is it.  Hollowell gets some innings today, Steele takes his spot and gets into Sunday's game.

[PeanutPunch33]

I’m very encouraged by how Palencia and Zeferjahn have looked last few times out.  Looks like the bullpen is starting to figure it out a bit 

[squally1313]

Fangraphs has Gamboa as an opener, which makes sense, he hasn't faced more than 8 batters in over a month. But they have the next pitcher as Jake Bennett, and they're both LHP. Who knows. Hopefully we get a Red Sox team that is very much just going through the motions. 

[ILMindState]

Damn Bregman is just raw dogging it with no mask. Absolute psycho!

[Jason Ross]

Bregman is back. Cubs offense scores in the 1st inning. 

Fixed.

[squally1313]

taylor is still alive and still good, which is nice

[UMFan83]

Damn Green Monster lol

Edit: Guess it wasn't a HR in any park and only a .390 xBA so I guess yay Green Monster

Who would have guessed middle middle fastballs can be hit hard. Nice start by Holmes 

[JHBulls]

Lol. Gasper is so ballsy.

That'll probably close the book on Cabrera for 2026 maybe, for the best.

If this is what they came up with to get him off the roster this weekend to get a fresh arm in there 🙄
