  1. wtf 2 outs on the bases this inning. Inning was looking promising again with Shaw 1 ball away from walking
  2. Cardinals just swept the Guardians, shutting them out in 2 games, so I'm sure they'll remain cold this week right?
  3. It's Bowden but he said today that the Cubs are heavily involved everywhere in terms of trade talks and expects them to be the trade deadline winners for the NL Central (whatever that means).
  4. I’m pretty sure both keepers guessed right every time except one each, they just weren’t able to save them all. Freese looks like he booked a spot on the World Cup roster if not starter
  5. Colorado scores again in 11th but has a guy with an ERA near 7 trying to close it out
  6. It's kind of like the end of the 2018 season. The Cubs aren't free falling but it feels like it because the other teams won't lose. Every other team in the NL Central had a winning record in June except the Cubs, but the Cubs were still 13-13
  7. Colorado managed to score a run in the 10th but the Brewers obviously still have to bat
  8. It's probably the part where we had a 6.5 game lead 10 days ago and now its 1 game? I don't think people expected the Brewers to have the 3rd best record in the NL and Cardinals right behind them.
  9. Even with the elite pitching, hitting really hasn’t been a giant issue tbh. Our season OPS is .774, but during this possibly about to be 11-13 stretch our team OPS is .750.
  10. I understand that, that’s the point I was trying to make
  11. Dare I say that’s good because it keeps our WC cushion only only brings it 0.5 games closer if SF wins
  12. I always say the NL Central should always be so winnable in a division with 4 smaller market teams but here we are with the 2nd best record in the NL and there are 2 team right on our ass
  13. Wait a second, they’re bringing in a righty to face Turner with Busch on the bench?? he might be tiring but that makes no sense.
  14. It makes no sense that we're sticking with him. Candelario has been terrible this year but he does have a .701 OPS this year against LHP and can play 3B and 1B better than Turner can. Wouldn't cost much to scoop him up for a couple of weeks.
  15. If the Cubs lose this they will have won just 1 of their last 7 series (1 win, 4 losses, 2 splits)
  16. Of course the Rockies down score with a runner on 3rd and 1 out but the Brewers do the next inning. Are we gonna be down to 1 game lead (and 2.5 over STL)?
  17. Feels like the Cubs need 2 starters, a late inning reliever and 2 right handed IF bats but there’s no way they can address all of that at the deadline
  18. 63 through 5. Just not giving him any tough inning to wear him out
  19. They keep suggesting PCA bunts for a hit but he has so much movement on his pitches I’m not sure how effective it would be. Worth a try L on L though I suppose
  20. Yep I've been wanting to give him a shot but I'm pretty much done with him. Cool that he's a good clubhouse guy but if he's our platoon guy against lefties it's simply not working. I'd keep him as a 26th man but not this role. BTW he did have a walk off hit for the Cubs so at least there is an on the field moment that you can remember.
