And Alonso is the winning run at the plate -
Well he’s not gonna get it tonight unless Madrigal goes yard here lol
-
Morel in a 1-17 slump with 8 Ks, but does have 5 walks during that span
-
Phew
-
Ugh 2 perfectly placed grounders for hits. Time to buckle down
-
Pete Alonso is now guaranteed to bat one more time today
-
Interesting going to Merryweather. I’m assuming it’s matchup related and not trying to sneak an extra day off for Leiter
-
You all collectively read a lot about baseball, have there been any articles about umpires calling balls and strikes much worse than years past or is this just some narrative I created in my head at some point and fed by confirmation bias?

Reds winning streak stopped at 1 game

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 8-8-23

Yes please -
Pride of Palatine!

I’m so sick of bad umpiring.
-
Yeah outside of the HR he was nearly perfect. Steele is still my dude but almost trust Taillon more than any other starter based on how they’re currently pitching
-
And then Tauchman strikes out on a check swing on a bad pitch to end the inning. Yuck
-
And then Madrigal gets picked off. Great stuff guys
-
Nice job Gomes not as great getting thrown out at 3rd for the first out of the inning and then forcing the cubs to use their challenge though
-
That’s great that we cut it to 2-1. Even better news is Alonso hits 1st next inning so he can only score 1 run in his AB
-
Matt Olson and Pete Alonso have combined for 5 HRs against the Cubs over the last 4 games. Good stuff
-
Carrasco’s ERA over his last 4 starts is 12.33 and he failed to make it through 3 innings in 2 of those starts. Scoreless 1st so far
-
No Seiya again tonight. I'm not necessarily clamoring for him but kind of crazy that he's gone from everyday starter to completely off the radar in terms of playing time, not even as a PH. Fake edit: I guess he did get a PH appearance yesterday when I wasn't paying attention (and struck out) so I guess its not a complete benching, but hopefully they're either giving him a mental break and/or working on something with him.
-
Oh that's great. I don't even dislike the White Sox anymore but I still enjoy laughing at their conversations.
-
Wait I thought their forum closed down several years ago. Did it get reborn again somewhere? I miss reading their Cubs sub-forum with some of the most deranged takes on the Cubs I've ever seen. They used to have an ongoing thread keeping track of the number of stories about the Cubs and White Sox in the Tribune and Sun-Times and thats barely scratching the surface.
-
Not surprisingly Umpire Scorecard was a bloodbath I realize we lost by 9 but +2 runs to the Mets is terrible.
-
Wasn’t that the Cubs marketing slogan in 2004?
-
That might be one of the worst strike calls I’ve ever seen
