    Javy!

    Good job, Albert.

    Walk this thing off, please.

    There’s no way this gets overturned.

    Javy was trying to end it on one pitch.

    Going to be really annoying when Chatwood pitches great for 5 starts and the season gets cancelled.

    I like when the Cubs hit dongs.

    Happ makes sure we don’t squander a leadoff double this time.

    Kimbrel sucks. Move him to garbage time.

    Kelly got suspended for 8 games which is ridiculous.

    He also was gushing about how Pedro Strop is just the greatest player ever, nicest guy, best teammate, etc. I'm guessing you wouldn't have dig to deep to find him criticizing Pedro when he was a Cub I’m going to guess he made a comment about Strop’s hat not being on straight in at least 50% of Strop’s appearances against the Reds.

    The Cubs are 4-1 this year. Last year they started 1-6. I don't know about you guys, but I like 4-1 better. Fun fact, starting with the 2007 season, the Cubs won the World Series every single year that they won 4 of their first 5 games. That's right, this is only the second time in the last 14 seasons the Cubs have started 4-1. The time before 2016 was 2006 and, well, let's just ignore that and have fun with arbitrary end points. So sit back and enjoy the 2020 World Series Champions*. Go CUBS!! *assuming the Marlins don't cause the whole season to be cancelled.

    The Correa one was a curve with two runners on so I'm guessing that wasn't intentional. The Bregman one was 100% intentional though. It was on a 3-0 count with nobody on and one out.

    Cubs pen maintaining their stellar 9 ERA on the year with that homer.
  15. soccer10k
    Just like Fred circa 2012.

    Regarding the facing three batters rule. I know you’re allowed to face less than that if it ends the inning. But if you gave one batter one inning and you go back out to start the next, are you required to face two or can you only face one and be removed (so two total).

    Plus, not only did the betting site pay the guy anyway but the guy donated the money to a Black Lives Matter fund in the UK.

    The Cubs won today. That was good. The Cubs bullpen was a disaster today. That was not so good. *Small sample size alert* The Cubs starters have allowed 4 runs in 24 innings. Cubs relievers have allowed 12 runs in 12 innings. Regardless, it was good to see Lester pitch well today, even if it was only one start and 5 innings, and the offense showed up again. Cubs are now 3-1 and sole possession of first place. If they don't want to fall out of first the rest of the year, that would be great. Mahle's career ERA is just under 5 so hopefully the Cubs light him up to give Mills and the pen enough of a cushion. It would seem likely there will be a lot of runs scored in this one so it will probably finish 3-2 because baseball. Go CUBS!!

    Why is Kimbrel still in there?

    Things I did not miss about not having baseball the last 4 months: the Cubs bullpen.
  21. soccer10k
    *googles Sergio Mitre* Yeah, that dude is a horrible human being.

    https://www.mlb.com/news/no-mlb-teams-open-2020-season-3-0 First time since 1954 that no team started 3-0.

    So Chatwood pitched well, the bullpen was solid and the offense had a big day. Normally we'd say it was only three games and one series but those three games were 5% of the season. This week is no different going to Cincinnati for four. Lester gets his first start of the year and hopefully it goes the way of Hendricks or Chatwood rather than Darvish. Go CUBS!!

    A friend who is watching the Sunday night game said that they said on the broadcast it's the first time since 1953 there hasn't been a single sweep in the opening round of games.

    We all know that forearm strains are a pretty minor injury and never lead to a longer lay-off due to a more major surgery. Verlander is a ticking time bomb at this point. I guess it makes sense to try. If you need surgery, you’re missing next year regardless, whether you get it now or two months from now. So either he recovers and is fine or we don’t see him until 2022.
