  1. 2 perfect innings from the reliever with an ERA over 6 for the year
  2. Let’s try not to punt on games before they start. I’m sure the DBacks fans pegged tonight as a loss too
  3. Well that might be hard to come back from now
  4. Watch them light up Gallen tomorrow now…. only for Taillon to get lit up more
  5. Now the pen with the 4th highest ERA since the ASB is shutting us down. Which team flew 4 hours last night?
  6. I don’t think Happ went but he was probably gonna strike out eventually so whatever
  7. Wow how did that run not score lol. Thought we were cooked as soon as Bellinger decided to step on 1st
  8. To be fair I’m just looking at the box score lol
  9. Someone want to tell the Cubs that this pitcher is absolutely terrible? he’s given up 12 runs in his last 2 starts, a total of 6 IP
  10. Also I know I’m overreacting and it’s been a whole 2 days since we came back from a 3-0 deficit in the 3rd inning
  11. I’ve been bracing for this. His xFIP as a starter is like 2.30 runs higher than his ERA though I don’t think he’s looked bad by any means thats ok we have Taillon as a pick-me-up tomorrow against a cy young contender
  12. Only one other relevant game tonight: Dodgers @ Marlins at 5:40 CT. Someone named Ryan Pepiot is starting for the Dodgers while Braxton Garrett is going for the Marlins. Dodgers trying to avoid a sweep. We'll either gain or lose 0.5 games on the Brewers, Phillies, Reds and Giants (if they're still a concern) depending on our result tonight. Best case WC standings (in addition 1 GB Brewers) Phillies +1 Cubs -- Reds -4.5 ----------------------- Marlins -4.5 DBacks -5 Giants -6.5 Worst case WC standings (2 GB Brewers) Phillies +2 Cubs -- Marlins -2.5 ------------------ DBacks -3 Reds -3.5 Giants -5.5
  13. The Nate Davis experience is wild
  14. Will be interesting to see if KB returns. He's just started taking BP. They have no reason to rush him back but if he's healthy and they are fine with him returning for meaningless games I could see him playing in that series at Wrigley
  15. Weird little scheduling tidbit - Every single NL team has played the NL West at least 28 games, except for the Cubs who have only played 20 games against the NL West (and just a few days ago had only played 17). As of this moment with 2 weeks and change left in the season we've only even played 3 of the 5 NL West teams. The Dodgers and Padres games were all played in April and early May. Between early May and Monday we only played 3 games against the NL West (in mid-June at SF). Now we're in a stretch where 16 of our final 25 games are against that division. Edit: Correction, I guess I'm remembering wrong. The series in San Diego was in early June, but they played both series against the Dodgers and one series against the Padres in April.
  16. There are several teams that have bounced back from bad starts to end up making the playoffs/advancing far. The major difference with the Cubs seems to be how far into the season they turned it around 2003 Marlins - Hit low water mark on May 22, falling to 19-29. They hit .500 on June 24 (39-39) and 10 games over on July 30 (59-49) 2019 Nationals - Low water mark on May 23 at 19-31. They hit .500 on June 27 (40-40) and 10 games over on August 14 (65-55), though were 9 games over back on July 24. 2023 Cubs - Low water mark on June 8 at 26-36. They hit .500 on July 27 (51-51) and 10 games over on September 1 (72-62)
  17. Obviously different when you live in the market your favorite team plays is, but I'm more than satisfied with every Bears game plus Red Zone channel. It gives me everything I need.
  18. Gallen has given up 11 runs in his last 2 starts (10.1 IP). Taillon has only given up 10 runs in 11.2 IP his last 2 😂
  19. Reds lose. Cubs end the day 3.5 games ahead of the Marlins for WC3 and 4 games ahead of the Reds and DBacks
  20. Damn Marlins up 9-1 now. Gonna win their 6th straight after falling under .500. Sucks that these guys we have lost the tiebreaker to are the ones hanging around. I'm pretty sure we'll make the playoffs at this point but I'd like to stretch that lead out as much as possible.
