  1. I hate playing in this stadium in the regular season. It seems like we always struggle offensively here
  2. Is Cishek not available today? Or Carl? We have an off day tomorrow right
  3. Feel like they are going ride or die with farrell until he gives up a run or the Cubs score a run so...score please
  4. If only that happened in a tie game with the bases loaded
  5. I briefly thought they wouldnt even attempt a throw there.
  6. jesus christ rizzo is slow. I already considered the score tied before he threw the ball.
  7. I'm sure england won't regret missing all these great chances for a 2nd goal. Nope not at all.
  8. So basically instead of getting a lefty, he got possibly the worst pitcher in the bullpen at getting lefties out to face one of the best lefties in baseball. Ouch. That said, Votto was 0-6 lifetime against Otero and 4-13 against Perez. Perhaps its this stat that caused Carl Willis to not question the call to the pen and let Otero enter the game.
  9. I'm being way too picky about Quintana but I'd like to see him pitch deeper into games. He's only pitched more than 6 innings twice in 18 starts this year. I dunno maybe part of it is intentional by the Cubs...it looks like he only threw 86 pitches yesterday.
  10. Rizzo has been sitting a lot lately. I know he’s sucked but previously he’s never left the lineup. He hurt?
  11. I think they started doing it in the last 2-3 years Hee Seop Choi participated back in 2005
  12. https://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/cubs-javy-baez-kyle-schwarber-fill-half-nl-field-for-mondays-home-run-derby/amp/?__twitter_impression=true Think of all the opposite field singles they will hit!
  13. It seemed obvious Almora was goading the runner on Sunday but I'm not sure Javy was. Looked like he just didn't go hard and assumed the runner would stop. That doesn't seem like Javy, of course. If that's true I won't fault him for it. Everyone has their mental lapses from time to time, and it seems to happen less with Javy than other guys. It just sucks that it happened in a 1 run loss.
  14. I'm sure this was discussed but how is it possible that the Cubs allowed a runner to score from first on a botched pickoff/SB attempt due to a Cubs fielder potentially trying to goad the runner into running home by half assing it to the ball in two consecutive games? I usually trust the Cubs fielding instincts but I'm not sure I agree with the strategy there if it was intentional. (but probably would be praising it if it worked out either time)
  15. [expletive] I like waking up to see that we won. Oh well offense was due for a bad game and Kyle pitched great. I’ll take that
  16. Ahh yes a pitcher who is 0-26 in his career. Cubs pitching is the perfect remedy for that
  17. Crazy that stupid ass Pence has been a Giant for 2 years longer than he was an Astro. I always think of him as an Astro first
  18. Marlins turn to try to cash in a runner from 3rd with less than 2 outs Edit: Brewers lose
