  1. I think CB blew at least 4 strike three calls in the game, one on a Phillie and then 3 on the Cubs, Wisdom being the last one. He's hilariously bad The pitch before the blown strike 3 call was a blown ball call. Pat should've been rung up on that pitch.
  2. Man on third with < 2 outs and the Cubs can't score. Wash, rinse, repeat.
  3. Jason Benetti with a rare Cubs call. Who's the analyst/color guy?
  4. You can also view it on another device using your Peacock subscription through Xfinity.
  5. Former Cub and Rookie of the Year runner-up Dwight Smith passed away at age 58. Haven’t heard the cause of death yet.
  6. Well there you go. Because I have the volume really low and am "surfing", I thought Buxton got the award. Turns out Mike Stanton did.
  7. I know it's expected, but how do you really give an MVP award to a player in this game?? Was there really a standout player? Buxton had 2 Abs and a HR. Sure, it was a tie breaker. But a solo shot in low scoring game in the middle of the game. Not overly dramatic at the time. I would make an argument that Manoah and Clase were just as "valuable" if not more. Both struck out the side. Or Stanton who got the AL on the board with a 2-run mammoth dinger. Or maybe every AL pitcher from the 2nd inning thru the 7th since no hit was allowed.
  8. Highlight of the game for Cubs fans has to be that "down in the count 0-2, but draws a BB" for Happ, right? Grant it, none of the 4 balls were even close, but hey. He didn't make an out.
  9. Nobody really thinks the NL can come back and win, right?
  10. Much like the Slam Dunk Contest, the HR Derby became repetitively boring after about the third or fourth iteration. Wash, rinse, repeat. Yawn.
  11. Despite 9 straight losses, I saw Nellie’s laser to gun down a runner at home, Morel’s energy to start a rally, and a clutch Nico with a 3-hit game including the game winner in the bottom of the 8th. Oh, and a win is always satisfying to me.
  12. They get a run on a bases loaded BB. But once again with a runner on third and less than 2 outs, the cubs can't capitalize. And can't put the ball in play either with Bote and Velazquez striking out. All tied at 1.
  13. Schwindel tried his damnedest to GIDP for the third consecutive plate appearance. Saved by an E5.
  14. Done after 3 innings. Gave up two HRs and 2 BB with 3 K. Max Bain pitching now.
  15. Why? It's baseball. I love baseball, and despite their struggles, still enjoy seeing wins/positive play from some of the youngsters.
  16. Double steal with two outs plates a run for the Mets in the 1st.
  17. How many Ks in the bottom of the 10th: a - 1 b - 2 c - 3 d - none
  18. I assume they're waiting for extras.
  19. Why, when the Cubs have a man on third and less than 2 outs, does the 3B coach give the "K" sign to the batter??
  20. I acctually don't even think it's close. They've had some really rotten teams in my lifetime. They have zero depth, so the injuries have really taken their toll.
  21. Check out the projections in the article,. PCA projects as a low-end regular NEXT YEAR. That's insanity for a guy with ~300 plate appearances in A Ball. I thought PCA was a plus defender. "Credible" sounds like his defense is being a bit minimized.
  22. Hoping Heuer is the hidden gem in that deal.
