Ugh Nico's had some big situations tonight, hasnt been able to convert. 2-0 count ends with a foul pop up to 1B -
Cubs fans: look at Julian Merryweather, he throws 100 mph can you believe it? Counsel: Hmm should I bring in the guy that throws 103, or one of the other 3 guys that can only get up to 100?
-
YES I've had this thought several times before as well Why don't they just put it over the "0-2" section of the batter part of the graphic?
-
10 pitch inning for Leiter. He’s gotta stay in to face Yelich to start the 8th right?
-
Terrible call completely changes the entire complexion of the inning. Of course Seiya shouldnt have taken strike 3 and Candelario shouldn't have swung at garbage but still
-
Of course Seiya gets screwed out of ball 4 and then strikes out. Instead of bases loaded 1 outs its 1st and 2nd with 2 outs. horsefeathers umps
-
Come on no GIDPs, we need to at a minimum get that pitch count higher, though I suppose that just means we get to their lockdown pen sooner.
-
OH horsefeathers yeah for some reason I was thinking the off day was on Monday. Yeah he'll get an extra day which makes the decision to push him through that inning better, though that just means we don't get to use Steele in the important Cincinnati series.
-
I was looking at defensive runs saved the other day and thought "theres no way the Brewers can be that much higher than the Cubs". I guess I can see why now.
-
I dont really care about them but I believe Steele is either leading the league or 1 off the league lead in wins so I'd also love to see a W for him
-
This has to be Steele's last batter. He has an arguably bigger start on Sunday vs. Cincinnati and is at 110 pitches. Not great Great bounceback though. Was at 71 pitches through 2 innings and finished the last 4 in 40 pitches
-
Chance to score runs and chance to run up his PC, got a pitch and hit one hard. That’s all you can do Edit: I guess statcast only had it at 71 mph so I guess not that hard, but it was well enough to be a 2 run single with better location
-
Terrible horsefeathers luck
-
No DPs no Ks please
-
93 pitches through 5 and 3-4-5 due up the third time through the order. Does Steele go out for 1 more?
-
Funny get our 2nd hit and its immediately erased with a GIDP
-
Needed that relatively low PC inning from Steele. Now there’s at least a chance he can pitch 6 full innings
-
Geez, he’s toying with the Cubs. Think we can win 1-0? the other crappy thing about the Brewers easy win yesterday is they can have the back of their pen jump in once Burnes is done, which based on his PC is gonna he awhile
-
That was an awful AB by Morel. Guess his mental break isn’t working as well as Seiya’s
-
Not sure how with the pitch clock but Burnes is somehow working extremely slow.
-
Someone said in the general baseball thread that the AL thing isn’t true anymore, just goes by reverse record. Not sure if it’s true but since it’s more beneficial towards the Cubs I’ll choose to believe that.
-
Not until Thursday right? Burnes and Woodruff might be able to get us a little higher in the priority list, though I’d prefer they didn’t lol
-
I mentioned this in the other thread. Can Jed convince Tom to go over the lux tax? I'm assuming grabbing any of these players would put us over. Of course its possible Jed himself won't want to cross that threshold as he knows it will limit their moves in future years. But horsefeathers this is like mana from Heaven for the Cubs. Desperate need of some solid starting pitching and a lefthanded reliever and the Angels just dangled them in front of us. Seems too good to be true.

Week 1 - Packers @ Bears - Soldier Field - September 10th 3:25PM
UMFan83 replied to David's topic in Other Sports
Peterman was cut today and will likely end up on the practice squad as QB3. PJ Walker was cut the other day. I suppose there was still some crazy possibility where the Bears made Peterman the backup and today's news ensures that won't happen. Colt McCoy and Carson Wentz are still out there though. Also I feel obligated to point out that Colin Kaepernick is available as well. -
Umm....I probably wouldn't hate taking a shot at several of those players, particularly the pitchers. Unfortunately to grab any of them we'd have to take on their salary which would push us over the tax line I think.
