  1. They were 2-14 in their previous 16 games and a very poor offense was a big part of that. The Cubs starting pitching has statistically been one of the 2-3 worst staffs in the NL so it makes sense they get going against us.
  2. Big adjustment for Happ to go from striking out swinging 40% of the time to striking out looking 40% of the time.
  3. Can we make Mike Borzello the pitching coach after we hopefully can Hickey after the season? I know he was given a lot of credit for Hendricks in 16 so maybe he can fix all these underperformers if given more control
  4. Looks at lineup. “Nope” Hey at least our guys will be well rested for the Wild Card game. Who will start that game again?
  5. Oh yeah crap it’s a dress up get away day, the Cubs always lose these games and then we are cheered up by the players looking silly
  6. We have chiliball so basically offense designed to not take advantage of summer conditions at Wrigley
  7. If we split a series at home against a team that won 2 of their previous 16 games....
  8. Sorry Bote you’re gonna have to homer if you want to score with Addy hitting behind you
  9. The more I think about the lineup the more bizarre it is. The starter is a lefty so I get Almora playing, but leading off? Russell hitting cleanup? Schwarber and Happ are 2 guys you PH for against a lefty in the 7th yesterday but they are both in? Caratini has a .560ish OPS against lefties this year (albeit SSS) and is in? Crazy ass Joe. This will be the lineup that gives us our 20 run game of course
  10. Bote-Russell hitting 3-4 is a lineup I would have expected the day after clinching the division and everyone is hungover
  11. Is it ok to hate the Astros because we were supposed to be the mindblowingly great team for an extended period of time instead of just the 1 season (followed by being very good for multiple seasons)
  12. Damn that’s like Colorado’s best starter by a good amount. VBs are extra vaunted these days
  13. I have no confidence so it will probably be a 1-2-3 inning
  14. This is a game where a Cubs team playing well keeps adding on runs and ends up winning like 11-5. Insane that the Cubs might get shut out for 6 straight innings in these conditions against these pitchers.
  15. We’re 1 game up in August, it’s a 1 run game and the wind is blowing out. Edwards threw 9 pitches yesterday, he should definitely pitch the 9th If it’s Justin Wilson I will...do nothing but yell but I’ll definitely be angry online
