  1. 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
  2. Yowza, this is pretty damning https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/38147621/ex-white-sox-reliever-keynan-middleton-rips-club-no-rules-culture
  3. 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
  4. Who is going to start? Assad threw 83 pitches yesterday, Wesneski 50 on Friday. Kilian maybe?
  5. 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
  6. 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.
  7. Irrationally mad because the Cubs should be percentage points ahead
  8. Reds have tying run up with 1 out in the 9th
  9. Clearly bases loaded 1 out in a 2 run game is the perfect time to hit Acuna on purpose
  10. Yeah I was Going to say their fans might be saying the same thing lol
  11. 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
  12. Kind of funny to say that when our starter today is top 5 in baseball in ERA but I get it. A 2015 Jake Arrieta or even a pitcher 80% of that would make this team so lethal
  13. Think we’re up to 18 straight innings with at least 1 baserunner. This is insane
  14. 5 strikeouts through 2 innings for Steele!
  15. The Braves have gotten at least one base runner in 14 straight innings
  16. Well I didn't bother to stay up and watch it, but that sucks. It's nice that it sounds like they outplayed Sweden but obviously the end result was elimination from the tournament at the earliest point ever. US Soccer 1-2 this summer in PKs
