The Cubs have had exactly 1 1-0 win in each of the last 4 seasons. So the bad news is tonight's game wasn't it. But the good news is, we're still due for a 1-0 win at some point
I guess I'm just not sure who else you put out there. Hughes after he gets a few innings in him maybe. Cubs pen tends to lock in as the season goes on, I don't think there's a need to replace him just yet unless he was getting shelled and/or walking a bunch of people
The 1-0 win is always so interesting. You spend the middle innings thinking that there's no way they can win 1-0 and you need to add on. You get into the 7th and 8th and you start to think well maybe we can actually pull this off with 1 run. But in this case, nope you couldnt.
Maybe? I don't think he got hit that hard.... the double was off the end of his bat. The walkoff single is an out if its better positioned. The first out was somewhat hard and the single was well hit though not super hard. Somewhat a bad luck inning...its why you score more than 1 run to prevent things like this lol
Dammit, of course they finally put a rally together in the 9th. Gonna have to buckle down to prevent losing it
Edit: Oh and Heyward gets a chance to walk us off
Ugh, ugly end that that AB for Happ with the bases loaded and 1 out. The pitcher threw 5 straight balls, the first was called a strike, he took the next 2 and then swung at the next 2.
The one person who didn't seem committed to staying was Coby White. Not that he doesn't want to be back but he wants the opportunity to become a starter. As an RFA with the Bulls cap situation, its very possible a team makes an offer the Bulls cant match without going over the hard salary cap luxury tax.
AKME's post-mortem comments today we're not what I wanted to hear but I'm not surprised. Talked about rebuilding not being something they are considering, how 14-9 after the ASB shows that they are on the right path and some comments about just needing tweaks.
Unless a miracle happens I think the best thing to do is emotionaly distance yourself from this org for a while if you haven't already.
Still too early to know for sure whether this team is good but there are some promising signs. We’ll see how the rest of this stretch goes but I’m excited
