This last week of Cubs baseball has felt like survive and advance -
The offense just hoping to coast to the finish line just like yesterday I guess lol 3 hits today and their 4 runs scored on an error, wild pitch, double and solo HR
-
I know...I'm just saying...its time, especially after another hard hit just now.
-
umm time to grab Assad
-
Nice job Assad
-
Oh how poetic, Javy grounds out to his equally good defensive replacement. But then Dansby boots it 😞
-
And yes now a fantastic goal. Love it
-
Pulisic with a nice dump in which immediately led to a goal in the first few minutes of his first Serie A match
-
He's basically Rob Deer with a little more walking and a little more power Rob Deer first 9 seasons: .222/.326/.450/.776, 112 OPS+, 1210 K, 205 HR, 536 RBI, 12.0 bWAR Schwarber career (9 seasons): .226/.337/.486/.823, 119 OPS+, 1079 K, 231 HR, 522 RBI, 10.8 bWAR Schwarbs has 118 less PA than Deer did in his first 9 seasons.

This sounds crazy and I might change my mind in 5 minutes, but I don't even really care if a WC series is played at Wrigley. I'm more concerned with opponent matchups. Don't get me wrong its always at least a little better to be at home but HFA doesnt matter as much to me as it would for the other sports. Of course this is partially brought on by faulty logic jammed in my brain remembeing that the Cubs are 0-5 in their last 5 playoff games at Wrigley (including Game 163 in 2018), having watched the Dodgers, Brewers, Rockies and Marlins celebrate advancing in the playoffs and in 3 of those cases eliminating the Cubs on our field during that span.

horsefeathers hell

Yeah the pitching has held up of late, albeit against 2 pretty bad teams. Detroit has scored the 2nd fewest runs in baseball so hoping that continues. Javy is having an absolutely terrible offensive season but could definitely see him getting up for these games, though I said the same thing about Velasquez this weekend and he didn't really do anything so we'll see.
-
Seiya since his mental rest: 11-32 (.344), 3 HR, 5 total XBH, 6 RBI, only 4 K. Slash line .344/.353/.759/1.112 Small sample size but good stuff. Him coming out of his slump as some of the others have been struggling has been really helpful.
-
Detroit is interesting. Their record isn’t as bad as you’d think and they’ve won 8 of their last 12 games against the Twins, Guardians and Red Sox. They had a 2-13 stretch in early-June which included a 9 game losing streak. Outside of that stretch they are 55-54 At the same time, their RD for the season is over -100 so they should probably have a much worse record than they do.
-
Is he even on the 40 man roster anymore? I don’t think he is, which makes it that much more difficult to call him up. He’s not hitting well enough at Iowa (relative to guys like Mervis and Young who are on the 40 man) to force the issue either.
-
Is tomorrow really the first time Javy will face the Cubs since he left? Edit: come to think of it, Bryant is the only one of the Big 3 that has even played at Wrigley since the trades and that was only a couple weeks after the trade. Hopefully KB is playing when we play at Wrigley in September. Riz and Javy will have to wait for next year to get their return trip to Wrigley
-
I’m not really sure why they do it either. I’m pretty sure Boog still has national commitments which is why he occasionally misses games. I always assumed JD asked for a reduced schedule when he re-signed. They clearly like him enough since they just signed him to an extension last offseason.
-
Oh well. I’m ok with being a full game ahead of the playoff pace for the first time all season
-
Cubs will end the day 1 game clear of the playoff cut line, with the Reds, Marlins and Diamondbacks all 1 game back. As mentioned above, if the Braves can beat the Giants, the Cubs will pull into WC2 by 0.5 games as well. The Brewers have decided not to lose again so just keep that at 3 games for as long as possible.
-
much more stressful series against the Royals than any of us were anticipating but they got the series win so ok then, lets move on.
-
Thank you Amaya, Cubs win
-
horsefeathers, he had 1 out, no one on and 2 strikes to Vasquez. Now the go ahead run is at the plate
-
Tying run up
-
Braves tie up the Giants with 2 outs in the 8th. Come on, lets end the night alone in WC2
-
Like I was saying in the other post these things come in cycles. We’ve seen the Cubs offense be a juggernaut for entire months now. Long enough that it clearly wasn’t a fluke, they have that capacity in them. They also have the capacity to struggle for weeks too. Hopefully in 10 days when we play Milwaukee we’ll be back on a nice run
