7/3 It’s the 3rd inning and the Cubs are ... winning?
Andy replied to soccer10k's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
A friend and I have an annual Wrigley trip we've been making almost every year since we graduated high school. This year because he started a new job the only series available to us was St Louis next weekend. We're both excited to be at Wrigley again but man the baseball is probably gonna suck as we cannonball (further?) into 4th place. -
Time to fire the hitting coach, says Chili Davis Poor Chili. We all really thought he sucked and it turned out he was just a victim of sequencing because it was just the first of several years they were all awful.
-
I was at the Bote slam game, so that's easily tops for me. The ridiculous NLDS clincher in Washington is probably 1B.
-
So Adam Morgan horsefeathering sucks ass
-
I was going to ask how the living hell such insane passages escaped everyone's notice, but apparently the book was published in 1975. I had no idea Jackson was famous enough to have a book deal at that time.
-
In sports you constantly have eras ending without people really realizing it until they look back later with the benefit of hindsight and notice that this, here, is where it ended. This series is the complete opposite of that. This was the end and just about everyone knows it.
-
I have a rule about never trashing anyone who helped the Cubs win the World Series (heinous Addison Russell-type actions excepted) but it's past time to reconsider Jake's spot in the starting rotation.
-
I had literally never heard of this Gushue character before today and now he's playing first base.
-
Looks like a good call. Also Wisdom might be dead now.
-
Well, this is nice. That bunt was probably the coolest thing Sogard has done since getting here, which doesn't say much, but at least that 4th run is in.
-
We've talked about it here before, but until the 15 playoffs and then 16 came around, I never thought it could get much better than the 08 team. That team just came through over and over, and seemed invincible until they face-planted against LA.
-
Either the Cubs Athletic guys or the Marquee broadcast mentioned a while ago that whatever it is isn't progressing well. He's been gone long enough now that throwing him on the 60 day DL doesn't really change much at this point. He's going to need some rehab assignments, and I think he's eligible to come off the 60 like, next week. July 22, I just read today, so it'll be a while yet. But it sounds like he probably would've been out that long anyway.
-
This might not exactly be what you're talking about, but I remember a very hobbled Rizzo and Baez taking ABs in that godforsaken series against the Cardinals in 2019 where Kimbrel gave up like 6 dongs. Granted that was September so there wasn't a roster crunch, but Rizzo led off and could barely walk, and then Javy PH with like, a broken wrist or something? I was so pissed at the team for blowing that year, but at least they showed some sort of effort. Yeah, I was venting but I do remember Javy coming off the bench limping and having a walk-off hit I think last year or the year before. Rizzo miraculously came back and started some games late in 19, don't remember him coming off the bench. It's just incredibly annoying. I actually said to my wife when Boog and JD mentioned that Bryant and Rizzo were supposedly available off the bench that we would probably send up Jose Lobaton instead of them later, and lo and behold.
-
Maybe other Sinclair owned stations aren't sending the crews on the road and they don't want to draw attention to the distinction? Seems the most likely scenario. He mentions in the column that other Bally stations aren't necessarily going on the road yet, or even soon.
-
Jon Greenberg said in his Athletic column today that he's hearing that the Marquee crew will be going to all the road games going forward. Not the radio crew, though, which won't travel (unless they drive) until they can do so with the team.
-
Can also say that about our OF for the most partIt's almost like dumping good players at those positions for no horsefeathering reason at all comes back to bite teams
-
I've been watching this team for two horsefeathering decades and I don't think anyone has ever actually come off the bench in a key spot when the team claims they're available off the bench. If you're going to send worthless assholes like Lobaton up instead of Bryant or Rizzo with the game on the line then stop horsefeathering pretending they're available.
-
Whenever Sogard actually hits the ball hard and something bad happens anyway it seems especially cruel
-
This ump sucks ass. He called a ridiculous strike on Wisdom earlier and just called a 3-0 pitch in the zone ball 4 to Heyward.
-
That was a hell of a piece of hitting by Wisdom
-
Maybe stop horsefeathering walking people you idiots
-
Not sure, last I heard he was about to start a rehab assignment. It’s pretty sad that I’m pining for Matt horsefeathering Duffy to return Either the Cubs Athletic guys or the Marquee broadcast mentioned a while ago that whatever it is isn't progressing well.
-
Rizzo out again. Wonder how many nights we'll be playing a man down this time. Oh, and Bryant's out too. Fantastic. It's not like this game matters or anything.
-
Someone posted that week - because that game capped what was a 6 or 7-game winning streak with a couple of wild wins - that "this week has been a Cubs orgy", and that always stuck with me.
-
Good lord that ball was hit like 210 feet and Joc wasn't even close. This is ridiculous.
