  1. PCA is on deck, would they really use him to bunt Gomes to 2nd base if Mastro gets out?
  2. 11-4 DBacks now. It would be an absolutely terrible idea to lose this game.
  3. They're just too good when they get going. I cannot see a way we keep them from scoring 1 run over the last 2 innings. If the Cubs want to make the playoffs they need to score some runs here.
  4. Ugh 1-2-3 was not how I wanted to see us respond. Gonna lament all the traffic the Cubs left on base (or got picked off base) earlier
  5. Ok I come back and it’s only 6-3. It’s still good it’s still good
  6. gonna turn this off for a few, my stomach cant handle this haha
  7. If Smyly is our most reliable reliever, its worth pointing out that the Braves hit much better against lefties
  8. And its 7-4 Arizona and there's still 0 outs. Looks like all the teams that are playing games tonight are gonna win. 4 more innings of keeping the Braves down to go.
  9. Come on Happ, at least a productive out here Edit: Definitely productive. Lets go Belli
  10. lol Ross is so scared of his baserunning and hitting he has PCA bunt
  11. Something tells me they arent going to win.
  12. 10 pitch inning for Steele, really increases his chances of finishing 7 if hes still effective. At 73 through 5
  13. Cardinals up 2-1 over Brewers #6gamesin6days
  14. Sorry yeah I am watching but it was such an inexplicable occurrence I was wondering if the Cubs planned it but doesn’t make any sense so guess not. young inexperienced player trying to make an impact on a team fighting for the playoffs and ended up making a bad mistake
  15. Were they trying to bait the catcher to throw to 2nd? Has to be the case right? No way PCA flat got picked off 3rd with 2 outs might not have even been a “play”, PCA might have just got faked out by the pump fake and was trying to be aggressive. Something Javy would do. Definitely a mistake but I can understand what he was thinking. Can’t get picked off a 3rd with 2 outs and your hottest hitter up in a playoff like game when your only job is to run the bases and play great defense
  16. So guessing Marlins being rained out is a good thing. Game 1 is still Garrett, game 2 will be an opener. Their pen is going to be taxed
  17. PCA for Tauchman in the 4th. Ross managing like a postseason game
  18. I doubt they rest any of their big bats in this series. Matt Olson has played every single game this year including both games of the doubleheader they had on Sunday. Acuna and Albies have played every game that they've been healthy enough to play. At other positions they have depth pieces that are almost as good as their starters. Maybe that changes if they clinch but I think the earliest they can clinch is after tomorrow's game and that would involve the Cubs losing the first 2.
  19. You might have missed my post above where the White Sox starter has an ERA over 7 for the year (though has pitched better in his 3 White Sox starts)
  20. And injury updates The Candelario bit is really not telling us anything insightful, but pretty clear that Adbert wouldn't be back until maybe Saturday or Sunday?
  21. Here's the lineup tonight: Tauchman CF Hoerner 2B Happ LF Bellinger 1B Suzuki RF Swanson SS Morel DH Gomes C Mastrobuoni 3B I was one of the loudest screaming for Swanson to hit behind Seiya so great, but its funny that Ross finally started doing that AFTER Swanson started hitting again.
  22. In other news, the White Sox give the Cubs the middle finger and place Luis Robert Jr on the IL prior to their series against the DBacks.
  23. Just to deal with my nervous energy, I'm going to predict the week goes like this: CHC: WLLWWL MIA: LLWWWL ARI: WWWLLL CIN: not enough 5. ARI 85-77 6. CHC 85-77 Out. MIA 84-78 If that happened it would be a dramatic week with the Cubs increasing their lead to 2, then by the end of the Braves series back to just 1. They go into the final day needing a win or Marlins loss to clinch and a win + DBacks loss to finish WC2. In a fitting end to the WC race, everyone loses.
  24. Tillman and Briggs were both top 10 at their position too
