He threw 12 pitches. That was pretty much just a bullpen session against live hitters. He can go if needed. I think Gausman will be more of an opener then Couns will play match ups. Hopefully he can at least make it out of the 1st unscathed.
I think Cubs get out to an early lead with 2 runs in the first. Gausman will give up 2 right back. Stays tied til the 6th then Padres get the lead and Cubs bats stay asleep.
That's what I'm saying. A no hitter would be sexy and all but isn't going to help you get past Milwaukee. They should take him out after this inning and keep him fresh.
2008 vs Dodgers and 2018 vs Rockies were the most pathetic off the top of my head but this has potential to be worse than 2018. 2008 the expectations were so high so it will be tough to beat that.
Why don't you like SD? It's pretty nice, although it has gotten a lot dirtier in the last 10 or so years. I was out there a couple years ago and it was kinda sketchy by the stadium. It used to be really nice but not so much anymore.
I'm not even mad. This is what we've been watching for weeks now. This is only slightly worse than I expected. I didn't think they'd have 0 hits. It's only ever happened 3 other times so they're halfway to making history.
