No hitter gone Shutout gone Joc Pederson homer.
-
Clearly Sofa cursed the Cubs with his presence on Saturday and Sunday. Tuesday we lost because Agony and Ivy didn’t get the game thread up soon enough and Brandon went and started one right before Agony and Ivy did, and I’m pretty sure the Cubs have never won a game when two game threads get started. Sofa wasn’t there today, we only started one thread and we won.

Another great TOOTBLAN from Willy. Would have sucked to have 1st and 2nd no outs with the top of the order up.
-
He throws 5 pitches out of the zone to Bote and the first one to Willy is outside of the zone and he goes and hacks at the second pitch outside of the zone. 5 pitches to Willy, all out of the zone and he strikes out.
-
In case my prediction of a Cubs blowout doesn’t come true and we continue our wonderful streak, I’ll say Javy hits the solo homer in the 3rd or 4th inning.
-
No surprise. I imagine he’ll be activated on Sept 1.
-
He was better against righties the past two years, but he was still really good against lefties, too. I’ve got no problem with the lineup. Murphy’s probably going to be leadoff a lot and since this is his first game, Joe just threw him there. Everyone complained about Rizzo batting there since nobody was on base for him so that eliminates him and Javy. You’re not putting Heyward there. Almora, Contreras and Happ have all been varying degrees of crap and Bote has done nothing since the slam. So you’re left with Zobrist. Swapping them would be fine or even moving Zo up and moving the other three down a spot but then you’re just shuffling the same four.

So Banner/Ring ceremony versus Red Ass Clint Hurdle? Nice They should do it in Milwaukee.
-
If the cubs could figure a way to win 8 of 10 they could end this. Yeah, it’s annoying. Been hoping for that (or similar run, 13 of 16 or 17, etc) all year Cubs have had two 22-12 streaks this year (excluding overlaps), from early May to mid June and late June to early August. Had four overlapping stretches of 13 of 17 from late June to mid July and one from late May to mid June.

Not at all. He is a pitcher. Any day he is still breathing is pretty much a win, let alone providing value. Counterpoint on the providing value part: http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/images/players/head_shot/543022.jpg http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/images/players/head_shot/488846.jpg

Martinez got drilled in the chest on a line drive. He did walk off though. Hernandez had a nice TOOTBLAN on the same play. He was on first and took a big turn around second after the batter was safe at first. Cards threw behind him and got the third out.
-
Make that 0-4 with 7 LOB.
-
Chapman apparently left tonight's game after 6 pitches so something good happened today.
-
Dodgers have 2nd and 3rd, no outs, then channel their inner Cub and go K, K, flyout.
-
Not at all.
-
They scored 7 runs They also gave up two more tonight than we've given up in our last five games combined. They just suck in a different way than we do. They score runs early and then gradually give it up. We give up a couple runs early and never score.
-
I mean, it was an easy one to predict but I’m still going to take credit for it. I said it earlier but the Cubs will roll tomorrow, 11-2. Murphy will play and be 0-4. 3 K and leave 4 guys on base. Most in scoring position. Nah, we’ll roll tomorrow, Murphy will have a solid game and all the sportswriters will write their [expletive] stories about how Murphy’s presence sparked the offense. Then we’ll get shut down on Thursday.

7 horsefeathering runs allowed in 5 games and we’re 2-3. horsefeathering terrible.
-
Silly me thinking Contreras might have gotten a hit off the bat.
-
But fangraphs...or whatever random website says we’re 90% in the playoffs or something. There is a flaw in the projection systems that doesn’t seem to be picking up on that without Bryant and Darvish and with Rizzo kinda meh and with Lester, Hendricks and Quintana varying degrees of bad, this is actually a bad baseball team. Rizzo’s been 2014-17 Rizzo since April minus like 30 points of SLG. The rest is fair though.

Please be wrong on part 2. Please be wrong on part 2. Please be wrong on part 2. Please be wrong on part 2.

That’s what the Cubs call a series worth of runs.
-
Good news: Rizzo will dong next inning. Bad news: That will be our only run.
-
LOL. Nice job, Willson.
