    What may be lost to many of you who didn't watch the inning from the start (as Boog just stated), is that future show in HoFer Yadi couldn't corral a "wild pitch" on strike 3. lulz.

    10 walks in 7 innings, plus 2 WP and a HBP. Nice job pitching staff.

    Sounds like Len is doing the television broadcast for the White Sox. Sad.

    Well if Marquee botched the telecast, then so did Bally Sports out in Arizona. Because the feed for the DBacks was very choppy even in the bottom of the 8th. Maybe it wasn't a MSN issue.

    I’m at the game. Not a lot of people here, the the Cubs fan contingency is huge. Hard to spot aDBacks fan anywhere.

    Is it time to dust off “Vaunted”?

    Our long national nightmare is over!! Hooray.

    So the Mets thought the best way to sweep the DH, or maybe not get swept, was to start Robert Stock in game 2. Interesting.

    Hader gives up the game tying dong to the highly underrated (not really) Jose Perraza. It’s going to extras.

    If you’re on the highway, driving in the right lane with your hazards on, and cars in the left lane are passing you, are you really chasing them. Or is it just your sh!tty car allowing everyone else to pass you?

    2015-2017 Cubs would've laughed at being down 5-0 going into their half of the second. "Challenge accepted". These Cubs, get Sogard warming up in the 'pen. Maybe with a little bit of overuse, they'll IL him.

    Welp, there's the 2 runs.

    Contreras Bryant Rizzo Baez Wisdom Pederson Marisnick Hoerner Davies It that lineup doesn't scream "at least two runs", I don't know what to tell ya'.

    Thought I'd jump on this misery train and give it a go with a game thread. The Cubs have this guy on the mound: The Phillies have this guy going for them: What do these people think of the Cubs' run potential tonight? The two most likely scenarios at the end of the evening: And this:

    Wisdom has to have at least some value to some other team, right??

    Do you have a better backup catcher idea? KB - worth a shot. He plays everywhere else.
  18. PackLandVA
    Why does anyone believe being “buyers” is the right direction for the team over the next few weeks???? If they were a player or two from being a legit WS contender, sure, buy buy buy. But this team is seriously flawed in so many areas. They need 2-3 starters, an outfielder or two, a catcher or at least a competent backup, a second baseman, maybe a legit LH bat off the bench. What am I missing??? Sell the sh!t out of this team and start over with a new core. Maybe we can go back to low expectations and just being happy with individual performance and promising prospects.

    Remember when piling up the opposing pitcher’s pitch count, wear him down, and seeing a bunch of pitches mattered. That was cool.

    Thank you sir, may I have another! Bomb #2 today.

    Unfortunately, baseball in general seems to be mostly reduced to HRs and Ks. Not a lot of “singles/doubles” hitters anymore. Guess that’s frowned upon.
  22. PackLandVA
    Three runs or less…..again. This offense is just not good too often.
  23. PackLandVA
    Shades of Brooksie! Fantastic!!

    I’d be fine with them being sellers. This offense has been Jekyll and Hyde since 2017, and getting progressively worse. And the pitching is not gonna care them in the postseason. I mean, sure, the stars could all align and something crazy could happen. But I won’t hold my breath A rebuild could be fun if it’s a true rebuild with intentions of winning in short order. Wouldn’t mind seeing what Jed is capable of doing. Much more enthusiasm and positivity on this board back around 2010-2014, and the team sucked all sorts. I love the Cubs core players, but they peaked in 2016-2017. Don’t get mean wrong, that’s the way to peak. But they aren’t winning another championship together, and they’re not all staying in Chicago after this season, most likely. So trade them away and build for the future.

    Since May 1, the pitching staff has given up 3 or less runs for the game 34 times. They're 31 and 20. Seems like the Ws should be much higher than that.
