I dunno managers really love the idea of taking complete days off for struggling players. No thinking about ABs, your lack of success, etc. Not a huge deal, but with a big lead and an injury plus the off day tomorrow it would have made sense to keep him out of the game imo. -
You'd think like with a 5 run lead you might just let Happ have a day off before an off day but I guess not.
-
I thought he was out or it was a tie, I'm surprised at how surprised Boog was. Though I'm watching on my phone so maybe I missed something.
-
If William hustled out of the box it wouldn't even be close. Not sure why Shaw rushed that.... I know he stumbled a bit but damn
-
I don't think so, thats the whole idea behind #Hugwatch and players being pulled mid-game. You might be mixing it up with there being a moratorium on trades announced during the World Series maybe?
-
OK Tuck, would be great to get an OF fly at the very least here.
-
Once again, I hate that a team can bring in a lefty later in the game to neutralize the top of the Cubs order somewhat. Make me look stupid Busch, Tucker and PCA
-
Did Dansby forget or not realize that there was a RISP?
-
I was just looking to see if the Orioles (cubs next opponent) are still bad and they've won 5 in a row with a run differential of +42 over those 5 games, including taking the first 3 from the Jays who had the best record in baseball coming into the series. Scores during that stretch: 18-0 (COL) 5-1 (COL) 11-4 (TOR) 16-4 (TOR) 3-2 (TOR)

Off day tomorrow, that should do it for Shota today.
-
Just for fun the Cubs should try scoring more runs
-
This umpire is horsefeathers awful
-
4 run lead with our ace on the mound, what could go wrong? 😂
-
*5-1
-
Was that a legal hit?
-
Do you? Interesting....I was going to say that data is available real time so easy to quickly challenge but I seem to remember challenges having to be initiated immediately by the batter or catcher, not from the dugout. I could be wrong though.
-
Bad ump. If they implement ABS challenges next year, if they limit it to a small number of challenge a game it would be a shame. From what I've seen, the challenges are instant. It would be stupid to not challenge that strike 1 call on PCA when it was so blatantly outside (and now strike 1 to Kelly) because Counsel wants to save his challenges for later in the game. I'm not saying you have to do unlimited challenges but 2-3 a game doesn't seem like enough.
-
Not to be the fun police but the Cubs scored first in each of the first 2 games also lol
-
It's definitely worth a try. I was resistant to trying 5G thinking it had to suck, but it's been really good for me. I switched to Verizon 5G for internet and DirectTV Stream for cable, get all the necessary sports stations and save about $60 a month over what I was paying for Xfinity.

7/30 - Cubs Trade Deadline Rumors & Discussion
UMFan83 replied to Outshined_One's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
He'll do something noteworthy I'm certain. There's no reason not to...they are clearly one of the better teams in baseball, but also clearly have some glaring holes that can be fixed with players available, and they have enough of a prospect pool to swing something, especially if its someone they can control beyond this year. Also while I'll rip on Ricketts all day, they clearly have some leftover payroll flexibility, not even including the extra payroll that he was granted specifically for Bregman. -
I hate that this is an afternoon game. Now I'll be distracted all afternoon and if they lose it will suck. If they win I'll just feel more relief than joy.

We've become 90 Miles Northside Baseball

Traded to the Yankees -
Hmm, I guess I'm lucky. About 3-4 years ago those were my only options too but its really expanded with 5G
