  1. Reds up 2-1 on Marlins in early Other Games action
  2. 6th straight appearance for Smyly that he's allowed a home run in his 1st inning of work. Amazing consistency
  3. Phillies postponed their game tonight as there are a wall of thunderstorms heading towards the east coast right now. Obviously NY is just a short drive from Philly, something to keep an eye on tonight. /Aramis Fan
  4. 27 games in 27 days because Sept 1st (the day after their only off day in that stretch) is a doubleheader against the Reds
  5. This should be good
  6. That's sad and hilarious at the same time. As much as I was strangely ok with having USC and UCLA join the Big Ten, I now wish we could just go back to things the way they were before.
  7. And technically there aren't in this stretch. I think its 13 days in a row, followed by an off day and then 14 games in 13 days. But yeah I think the 20 consecutive games thing is still in there. I remember the Cubs PA had to agree to play more during the "death march" in Sept 2018.
  8. Not gonna lie, as I was reading the first part of this tweet, I was expecting it to be a defense of his old team like "I didn't see that kind of stuff", but nope more piling on.
  9. Wait, wtf. After the 3 off days in 8 days stretch, it looks like the Cubs play 27 games in 27 days after that. They do have an off day in that stretch midway through, but then the next day is a doubleheader against the Reds. What a stupid way to space out off days.
  10. The good news is the Mets are throwing Carrasco (6.60 ERA in 16 starts) and David Peterson (5.65 ERA in 18 appearances in what appears to be a hybrid reliever/starter role) so they'll have shots to win the next 2 if they don't win tonight. After this series the Cubs have 3 off days in their next 8 days, so plenty of chances to rest up after this
  11. Yowza, this is pretty damning https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/38147621/ex-white-sox-reliever-keynan-middleton-rips-club-no-rules-culture
  12. This was my biggest complaint about the new playoff system. Play 162 games and miss the playoffs because the Cubs lost 3 one run games in late April
  13. Who is going to start? Assad threw 83 pitches yesterday, Wesneski 50 on Friday. Kilian maybe?
  14. Ugh just realized it’s Smyly vs Senga tomorrow yuck. Not that we haven’t been winning games with unfavorable matchups lately. The rest of the series has more favorable pitching matchups though But for tomorrow, Smyly has gone 5 innings just once in his last 7 starts. Pen is gassed, but perhaps Wesneski can pitch a few innings tomorrow. Merryweather will be available but I don’t think Fulmer, Leiter and Alzolay will be able to pitch. basically looking at Wesneski, Merryweather, Cuas, Kilian, and Palencia as the pen tomorrow that will need to cover 5 innings or so unless the Cubs call someone up
  15. I love that the postgame discussion after taking 2 of 3 from the best team in baseball to get their 13th win in their last 16 wins is about what’s wrong with the Cubs. I mean I totally get the discussion and it’s valid but it’s funny seeing this when I went back into this thread.
  16. Irrationally mad because the Cubs should be percentage points ahead
  17. Reds have tying run up with 1 out in the 9th
  18. Clearly bases loaded 1 out in a 2 run game is the perfect time to hit Acuna on purpose
  19. Yeah I was Going to say their fans might be saying the same thing lol
  20. Relentless it would be kind of hilarious if the Cubs won the last 2 games of the series despite their pitchers recording a single 1-2-3 inning
