  1. Someone tell the Cubs that this is actually a new game so someone has to hit the solo HR
  2. .500ish team since the break with a lot of sizable losses, an 8-1 record in 1 run games, almost every hitter is in considerable offensive slump save Rizzo and Zobrist and our starters save Hamels and sometimes Monty or Hendricks have been shelled or only good for 5 innings. It’s been a disaster but we’ve been able to keep our heads above water while we wait for the team to play better.
  3. I’m fine with him starting the 6th but basically pulls no him if any batter gets on
  4. So the 3 pitchers we got to replace Jake/Lackey/whoever were a 5 inning pitcher, a guy who can’t go more than 20 pitches into a rehab start before reinjuring himself and a guy threatening to break the record for most BB/9 pretty much ever
  5. [tweet] [/tweet]
  6. We are 15 outs away from winning a 4 game series in which we scored 4 total runs
  7. The Cubs offense has a .598 OPS over the last 7 days heading into today
  8. Yeah but this is standard for a new kid coming up. It’s a game of adjustments. We have seen that Bote has a good approach and hits the ball hard. If he can make the adjustments he will be more than fine. If he doesn’t, he will be like the hundreds of other kids that come up with a good bat and don’t pan out.
  9. Yeah. Really can’t see a scenario where they don’t shut him down and start over, unless he by some miracle just has cramps. If they shut him down for any length of time I don’t know if it’s possible for him to come back and able to he counted on in October
  10. I’m rooting for the Cubs. Whatever happens in their game means we will gain on one team (if we win)
  11. So were again looking at Lester, Hendricks, Hamels, Monty/Quintana in the PO rotation Dammit I was really hoping Darvish could come back and pitch like a #1 or #2 with a fresh arm. Oh well
  12. We have to be approaching some record for most double plays by both teams in a 4 game series
  13. Gonna be at 50+ pitches in 2 innings, or otherwise known as a normal Quintana start
  14. Yeah, I assume someone hacked into Schwarber Fan’s account as he made a game thread and didn’t mention the weather at all.
  15. They better not call this leading with the head penalty as frequently in the regular season as they are in the preseason. Edit: that last one was pretty legit but there have been some ridiculous ones throughout the league
  16. What’s the record for least combined runs scored ina 4 game Series? So far 6 total runs scored in 3 games
  17. I can’t believe we really might score exactly 1 run in each of the first 3 games of the series via solo HR.
  18. And not that the runs count less or anything because she of it but they were 1 strike from being shutout on Sunday. Chiliball sucks
  19. Cubs offense had a .771 OPS in the first half and a .720 in the second half. In 15 August games (not including tonight) it’s .694
  20. So who do you guys think hits our solo HR tomorrow?
  21. In one inning Chatwood gave up more runs than were scored in the first 2 games of the series by both teams combined.
  22. I for one am shocked that Chatwood is starting to implode in the 2nd inning
