Brewers winning -
Looks at lineup. “Nope” Hey at least our guys will be well rested for the Wild Card game. Who will start that game again?
-
ERA his last 6 starts: 7.33 Make that 7.90
-
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
-
Walked the pitcher....drink!

We have chiliball so basically offense designed to not take advantage of summer conditions at Wrigley
-
If we split a series at home against a team that won 2 of their previous 16 games....
-
Sorry Bote you’re gonna have to homer if you want to score with Addy hitting behind you
-
The opponent has scored a 1st inning run
-
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
-
Bote-Russell hitting 3-4 is a lineup I would have expected the day after clinching the division and everyone is hungover
-
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)
-
Damn that’s like Colorado’s best starter by a good amount. VBs are extra vaunted these days
-
Well ok. Good stuff.
-
I have no confidence so it will probably be a 1-2-3 inning
-
I don’t agree with this decision.
-
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.
-
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
-
Happ is a .670 OPS vs lefties this year. Caratini is .574. I don’t think anyone would have minded if they let Happ hit and PH Almora for the pitcher. But like someone else said, he basically picked Caratini to bat over Happ. Yeah but Caratini’s sample size is like 20 PA. He had an OPS over 1.000 in an equally small sample size last year. With that little to go off of you have to assume normal platoon splits are the way to go
-
This is Kintzler’s 3rd appearance in 4 days. Joe immediately going to work on his rental arm
-
Seriously though Contreras sometimes takes some awful ABs in big situations.
-
For all the strides we’ve made with situation hitting that was....really really poor
-
Yeah but Almora is 1 for his last 24 and hits a lot of soft contact and a lot of ground balls
