Reds win, so the Cubs playoff cushion is now just 2 games. Looks like Arizona will lose tonight and our gap over them will remain at 2. Marlins are beating the Brewers 2-0, if they win they will move to 2.5 back and the Cubs will stay 4 GB Milwaukee. The Reds and Diamondbacks play tomorrow. If they both win, the Cubs will take the field Friday with a 1.5 game playoff cushion. Most likely finish tonight Phillies 1.5 GA Cubs -- DBacks 2 ----------------- Reds 2 (tied) Giants 2.5 Marlins 2.5 It's getting reeeeeeeeeeaaaallllly close. Cubs need to play better ASAP -
It's completely inexplicable how much went wrong on Sunday. Yes there is plenty of blame that can go to the players, but in general this reflects worst on the coaching staff BY FAR. We looked like a bunch of amateurs out there and while its painful to watch every Bears fan needs to watch that video and absorb it.
-
Reds up 2-0 already. A win tonight and tomorrow puts them 1.5 Gb the Cubs the next time they take the field. enough dooming though
-
Giants win. The Cubs playoff cushion will be down to 2.5 at a minimum tonight. If the Reds win tonight it will be down to 2 games. Despite getting swept by the Cubs, the Giants (5-4) have gained 0.5 games on the Cubs (5-5) in the standings over the last 10 days.
-
FWIW the Brewers were swept at Coors Field this year.
-
Giants hit a 3 run HR in the 8th to tie the Guardians. With a win, they'll have gone from 6 GB to 2.5 GB in a week.
-
Bellinger looks like he's going home run or bust his last 2 ABs. Need baserunners at this point Belli
-
Sure but we are losing, so for now we have to rely on other teams to keep us afloat. If there was just one more halfway decent team in the WC race we'd be in trouble.
-
We have to hope the Braves really do take their foot off the pedal for our series. The Brewers are horsefeatherss and would relish knocking the Cubs out of the playoffs to continue Wisconsin sports dominance over Chicago.
-
14 baserunners, 3 runs today 😞
-
Damn, cant even get a sac fly
-
At least get a couple home to give us a chance in the 9th
-
Another big spot for the rookie. Bases loaded 1 out, down 4. Edit: Nevermind Gomes is PHing
-
PCA game trying grand slam coming up. I hear he's good at that lately.
-
Lets get through the 8th first
-
Like I said, they've not been playing well but have gotten by with a light schedule and luck in close games until recently. They were 9-4 in <2 run games from August 12 - Sept 1. Since then they've been 1-5, so 10-9 overall. Luck is evening out. 8 of those 19 close games came against the White Sox, Royals and Tigers, 3 of the worst teams the league. As I said earlier they haven't played badly the entire month, they've had good stretches (like against SF), but collectively they have not been playing their best baseball.
-
Sure...I'm just saying thats the vibe I got from Rockies fans. If KB is healthy and wants to play the last 2 weeks of meaningless baseball I'm not surprised the Rockies obliged.
-
And 1-6 in our last 7 games. Very rough stretch. Wish Gomes hit the ball 2 inches farther on Saturday or didnt get thrown out trying to get the 2B
-
The route is on! Make it hurt Rockies!
-
I talk to a couple people who are Rockies fans and their attitude was "why bring him back for 2 weeks of meaningless baseball when we can be giving playing time to young players?". But I'm sure if KB told them he was healthy and wanted to play they would oblige him.
-
With off days coming up tomorrow and Monday, do you give your starters an extra day of rest or do you use it as a way to skip Taillon's next start? It's horsefeathers crunch time, I don't want him starting any more games than absolutely necessary.
-
Again, thank you Kris Bryant for coming back to horsefeathers over your previous team. I totally get why but horsefeathers
-
No not a surprise. They've been playing poorly for about a month now. Not every day, not every part of the team, but as a whole they have not played that well. A light schedule and some luck in close games covered this up quite well but it looks like that luck is changing. Hopefully they can use the off days coming up to recharge and get hot the last 2 weeks because I'm not sure they make it to the finish line the way the team is playing right now. Only saving grace is the other WC contenders are also thoroughly mediocre
-
Rockies terrible pitching has retired 11 of the last 12 Cubs. Holy hell get me to this off day
-
Bellinger definitely did not shorten up his 2 strike swing there
