  1. And the pen blows it load management may have cost us the game
  2. I guess I get it. Especially during a stretch with 3 off days in 8 day span you can lean on your pen a little more which has been sharp. Also Assad make this a more viable option by going 7 yesterday
  3. Ok a little surprised they pulled Steele after 5 and 84 pitches.
  4. Which is fine, I’m more than happy if he can be a solid number 2 that occasionally has great outings and rarely has blow up outings. Same with Stroman when he returns. If the offense continues to play this week that will get us far. Way more than I expected from Steele when he first came up that’s for sure. Would love to get a true ace though whether it’s Horton or via FA/trade
  5. For Bautista jersey retirement. Not sure why they didn’t do it before 2:07
  6. Laughing at the Twitter discourse about Fields stats looking good because his weapons did all the work.
  7. What a messy game. Not a great fumble for Scott
  8. Not sure but whatever. With Herbert, Foreman, Johnson and Homer on the roster the only way Ebner is on the roster is if he has a ST role
  9. I’m fine keeping him for gadget plays if there is space on the roster for him but he should never be involved on punt returns. That’s his 3rd TO in limited number of attempts
  10. Don’t get hurt this year Justin
  11. What the horsefeathers horsefeathers is Velus Jones doing? Are you kidding me?
  12. Fields nearly tripled Loves yardage that Packers fans were bragging about last night. of course those came on a FB screen, WR screen and a checkdown but that’s what happens when you have elite talent that can make plays and good blocking
  13. Ok so that was a good addition
  14. Short pass accuracy ✅
  15. All that Twitter discourse about how the offense struggling in practice means the defense is actually good… *yes an overreaction but w/e
  16. Yeah the 3-6 winner is locked into playing the 2 seed. It’s not like the NFL where the lowest remaining seed plays the top seed
  17. Brewers defeat the White Sox in 10 innings. Cubs will remain 2.5 GB
  18. Yes of course I'd prefer the division but there's really not *that* much difference to me assuming the Central winner is the 3rd seed. Yes the WC round is played at home which is a benefit, but HFA doesnt seem that big to me, especially in a place like Milwaukee which is close enough to draw plenty of Cubs fans and a familiar overall ballpark. Also the Cubs are something like 1-7 in their last 8 playoff games at Wrigley. Not that it has much to do with how this years team would do, but its not such a giant advantage that I'd say the WC spot excites me any less. Just make the playoffs and win as many games as you can.
  19. Like using Alzolay here. 2 days off before this, an off day coming on Monday and Thursday.
  20. Marlins lose, Cubs back to a tie WC3. Looking like the night will end with the Cubs percentage points ahead of the Reds and 1/2 game up on the Marlins. (And hopefully 1.5 GB the Brewers)
  21. Eloy finally helping the Cubs out with a 2 run blast vs Milwaukee
  22. Can’t believe I was questioning his pitch count in the 3rd inning and here he is an out from finishing the 7th
