  1. Definitely thought about that,. Though this inning appears to be going quickly and Thielbar has only thrown 17 pitches. Might consider keeping him in through Yelich for the lefty matchup? That might be too much to ask.
  2. 3-4-5 due up in the 8th for Milwaukee....gonna be interesting to see who comes in
  3. How many auto outs do we have on this team right now and why are they all in the middle of the order?
  4. Yeah the pen is gonna be in rough shape after tomorrow unless Shota goes deep. And then they go to the west coast immediately after which has to be a grind.
  5. Maybe the Cubs should attempt to get a 2nd hit today. Maybe even a 3rd
  6. Matt horsefeathers Shaw edit: and nice scoop Busch
  7. ok im done with the Rea experience today. ****** call by the ump for ball 3 but too many walks
  8. the thing is though, he's annoyingly patient and guessing even when he's going well. His big issue IMO is he's not driving the ball at all and getting beat by breaking pitches to the outside. He's always going to take annoying ass called strike 3s or look downright bad some ABs because he's guessing.
  9. Devastating miss by the umpire….is what I would say if Contreras didn’t GIDP
  10. Yeah it was a fair strike call. It's just frustrating that it seems like he rarely gets a gift on a pitch that just barely nicks the zone, while also getting pitches several inches outside the zone also called. I really dont know it keeps happening but at this point he needs to be more aggressive with 2 strikes, especially in a run producing spot in the order with a runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs.
  11. As he started to swing I was about to be upset that he might have swung at ball 4 but that outcome is much better
  12. Funny of all the times I’ve thought about muting you, who would have thought it would have ultimately been due to repeated Michigan comments in Cubs game threads? You see that 5 star RB we got today?
  13. Reds up 4-1 over the Angels so we’ll only gain 0.5 over them. I think we stay 6 up in the loss column with 36 to play.
  14. Man I wish we somehow won the first game Monday. Imagine how hyped wed be knowing we cliched the tiebreaker and had a chance to pull within 3 or 5 games if we swept or split the rest
  15. I was surprised when browsing several team boards I have visited a few times over the years to find they were now owned by Brock and co. I'm surprised he hasnt scooped up Soxtalk and Redszone yet.
  16. Somewhere (probably another Brock owned outlet) they are complaining about all the breaks the Cubs get from deflections off the wall
  17. If Busch has any bunting skills I'd try a squeeze here with a lefty vs. Busch edit: or that!
