This is going to be one of those games that Jayson Stark is going to write 10,000 words about: -Pitcher making his MLB debut in extra innings of a tie game, faces 4 batters, gives up a hit and wins the game -3 Brewers thrown out on the base paths in 2 innings -Happ throws 2 runners out at home in extra innings -Miller on the Brewers manages to make the final out on the base paths in both the 10th AND 11th innings -Inning ending on a pitch clock violation K -Other crap about the first 9 innings -
Palencia pitched 2.0 IP and faced 4 batters Edit: Damn it Rex!
-
lmao, thats one way to end it. Happ the MVP of extra innings
-
Oh wow keeping him in for a 2nd inning to finish it off. I'm not even sure which pitchers are available but kind of surprised here.
-
Nice camera work on a pivotal play Marquee
-
Assuming the Brewers walk off here the Cubs will have won 2 times in the last 13 days.
-
Lead officially blown. 6-2 with 2 outs in the 8th
-
Even if they win this game, the viewing experience has been miserable
-
Wtf is up with these pitch clock violations? Both favored Milwaukee. I’m only half paying attention but feels like they are doing something to mess up the Cubs
-
Pen is blowing this again
-
Wait Yelich is decent again now?
-
Not watching but seems like Kyle is on today
-
Leadoff triple, this should be fun
-
Not really worth a topic but the Padres DFA’d Nelson Cruz today. Given the Cubs will be higher on the waiver priority due to their record, he seems like a pickup the Cubs would make given their need for power and the Madrigal/Wisdom injuries potentially pushing Morel out of DH for a bit. I don’t think he’ll be any good but seems like a move they’d consider.

Mexican fans were again chanting homophobic slurs at a match on US soil last night. Can US Soccer ban Mexico from holding friendlies in the US for a year or something? Bc it doesn’t seem like CONCACAF or FIFA will hold them responsible. Hit them in their pocketbooks and maybe the Mexican federation will do something about it

Since Ricketts took over before 2010 they’ve overseen 8 seasons of non-competitiveness and 6 seasons of competing. So 43% of the time they’ve been competitive. They have made the NLCS 3 times in 14 years with 1 World Series title Trib Company oversaw 17 non-competitive seasons and 11 competitive seasons. So 39% of the time they were competitive. They made the NLCS 3 times in 28 years with 0 World Series. An improvement over the Trib Company but let’s be honest neither ownership has been super successful. We got our WS which is great but outside of that it’s a bunch of horsefeathers Also Im just kind of swagging whether a season was competitive. Basically 84+ wins and/or finish within 5 games of a playoff spot.

Not surprised at all. They’ve made it clear they don’t want to tank and are fine with being an average non-contender and hoping something falls into their laps to make them a contender. I think they were legitimately trying to trade Zach but they’re gun shy for whatever reason. They probably also legitimately believe in the 14-9 record with Beverly and think that adding a PG with a pulse is enough to make them a good team.
-
Still 12-9 in our last 21!
-
Such a shitty team
-
I’m pretty sure he leads all NL SS in WAR. From a hitting standpoint I’m a little disappointed in his power but overall he’s been pretty solid and I’m happy with his performance this year.
-
Also prevented hanging an L on Taillon for another shitty performance
-
Seiya 0 for his last 20 and has an OPS in the .400s since the start of June
-
Offense appears to be going into a slump again. Runs since London: 1 5 1 10 0 1 (so far)
-
Bulls applied for an injured player exemption for Lonzo. Not sure I understand why -It doesn’t give us relief from the luxury tax -we can’t apply for medical retirement this season, which would give us relief from the tax -The way the Bulls payroll is at, they can’t really use the exemption without going over the tax. Only thing I can think of is that they want the exemption to make a trade? I’m not even sure if that’s a thing

Guess Jared Young is not the defensive answer at first either. How hard is it to play the position?
