Reds decided it really wasn't fair that the Cubs couldn't get those runs home from 2nd and 3rd with 0 outs and decided to gift them. -
Only the Cubs would score 3 runs and leave fans disappointed by stranding runners at 2nd and 3rd with 0 outs. Belli will get a hit though
-
Still just 2 outs
-
Still only 1 out though
-
Damn, I thought Candelario would score there too. Still 0 outs though
-
Funny, this team became a lot more fun when they decided to start winning a high percentage of baseball games.
-
This lineup just seems so much deeper with Candelario in there. It probably helps when multiple people are on a heater but I'm just to being like 2-3 run producing spots in the order, and now when the Cubs get through Morel, then Bellinger, I braced for Mastrobuoni or Barnhart or someone like that but nope we still have Swanson. Of course after him would have been the Happ, Gomes, Suzuki part of the order but still.
-
tie game!
-
And Morel misses a 3 run HR by a couple feet. Second time in 3 days
-
Seiya's season OPS is about to dip into the .600's
-
To add to this, if you include Smyly's 2.5m buyout for 2025, the Cubs will be paying these 3 players $20.75m next year.
-
Nah its a mutual option but the Cubs pay a $2.5m buyout if they opt out of the deal.
-
Guys Jed signed for multiple-years last winter: Drew Smyly Tucker Barnhart Trey Mancini
-
He even participated in a Home Run derby the only year they decided to have players representing different countries
-
Been killing the Cubs for 15 years why stop now?
-
This your first time experiencing the Cubs scoring a bunch of runs?
-
This is the 5th straight appearance that Drew Smyly has given up a HR in his first inning of work.
-
They recorded last night's game on DVR and are planning on watching it during tonight's game.
-
Shouldn't have lost 2 of 3 to the Cubs then
-
Not really a big deal but I wonder why they have Candelario at 3B tonight and Wisdom at 1B. Wisdom's primary position is 3B and the Cubs are trying to make Candelario their semi-full time 1B, so wouldn't you swap them and let Wisdom play the position he's more comfortable at and give Candelario more time to feel more comfortable at 1B? (I realize Candelario has played 1B in the past but not really all that much)
-
I'm not taking too much stock into it. I have never seen a full training camp and don't know anything about the ups and downs. I assume there are ups and downs for every team. It's not much better if the offense just dominated the D all camp either, though I'd rather that than the inverse (not saying the inverse is happening). Just thought Mooney's comments were interesting.
-
Interesting comments by Mooney
-
you just hate to see that. Means the Cubs can pull to within 2.5 of WC3 with a win tonight (and 3 of the division)
-
Apparently Velus Jones threw punches at Brisker after he celebrated a pass break up lol. Not sure if its frustration because the offense hasnt been sharp the last 2 days but probably not an ideal thing to happen even though its not usual for fights to break out at camp. Also more importantly, Tevin Jenkins was helped off the field today with an injury and Getsy said he does not have an update on the injury yet.
