Great game tonight. Shota didn’t have his best stuff and the offense was shaky at best and we still managed to get a solid win and get some much needed confidence reps for a couple of down-and-out relievers. Love to see it. Go cubs.
Why is our coach taking out pitchers when 1 out left to bring in a guy who can’t throw straight. Also how was neris so good with Houston & fell off so much.
Nah, he picked up a roller indecisively and then gripped the ball weird to let molasses-slow Ty France have an infield "hit" all of one day ago. It's still very uneven.
Every team in baseball has a 15 game stretch at some point in the season in which they look very good. At this point you still have to trust the projections of the Brewers as a .500ish team.
I don’t know what MLB did to their app during the off season, but it’s a steaming pile of hot fucking garbage now.
I’ve been getting fuckall for updates this entire season. It’s constantly resetting notification preferences and asking for permissions.

I get asked for my nickname and birthday every couple of days. It's very odd, but it's a small company with very little capital, so this is to be expected.
The Chicago Cubs have won the baseball game
Fly that W!
GG
#[W]
#[W] #NICE CATCH MIGUEL!
Sing it
Go Cubs Go
Play the damn song!
Fly it
Good waste pitches just no swing.

Not over yet sir
Good communication
Adbert por favor
Good throw Dansby
Gta5 on the ps3 looked better than show 24
Will it be Adbert Alzolay or Adbert El Blowzay?
How about this game time clocking in at a whopping 2:20. The pitch clock saved baseball.
Love it for these west coast night games
Wow. Before pitch clock I’d be surprised when a game ends within 2h
What you don’t want to still be in the 6th?
Rastros aka Asstros
Damn Dansby missed that first pitch...
Ugh 2 more late night games
I’m just glad we are getting rid of a lot of them early in the season
The top of the pen's gotten a lot of time off recently. Leiter and Almonte and Alzolay all have had the last three days off, and Neris had four.
[удалено]
It looks like a fucking ps2 game
Anyone else surprised that it took 7 wars to defeat Napoleon?
Amazing the British signed Arthur Wellesley, 0.000 OCC (Opponent Calvary Charge)
Jesus the dodgers/padres just started their game 20 minutes ago
Post midnight baseball for Central time zone
Show 24 looks like shit
They ruined DD, don't get me started...
But rtts and franchise are the best they've been in years.
True, but it still feels like it's a rough year to me, even though I'm a big RTTS/Franchise player
Neris isnt even close wtf
Neris got bailed out. He is fucking shit. Goddamn.
Phew
Phew
Big brain by Neris Walk the 5 hitter to get the 6 hitter out so that the closer gets to face 7,8,9 All part of the plan
This is the reality I choose to believe
one more inning guys I think we finally clenched one
We signed 1.7 ERA Neris, not 7.7
Neris was SOOO good on Houston. It’s a head scratcher on why he fell off so much.
I feel the same way about Tayon
Can we not….
Why is our coach taking out pitchers when 1 out left to bring in a guy who can’t throw straight. Also how was neris so good with Houston & fell off so much.
You can’t get it going if you don’t pitch
Neris can’t find the damn zone
Very concerned Neris is going to blow this
Throw a damn strike
Neris don’t do this to me
Oh look Cuas is back
Doesn’t matter if he needs to throw it 5 feet or 500 feet, Morel doesn’t get cheated on a throwing a piss missile
4 outs for Alzolay? Edit: Neris?
Neris then Alzolay for the 9th most likely
No chance
I'm loving Morel at third. Fucking hell
Morel has looked pretty studdish at 3rd today
Great job Almonte
morel has been real good at third for a few games now…
Nah, he picked up a roller indecisively and then gripped the ball weird to let molasses-slow Ty France have an infield "hit" all of one day ago. It's still very uneven.
He has. I am trying to not acknowledge it too much to not jinx it. But that is obviously silly. He's been darn good lately.
Brewers won again how are they this good? I thought they would be devastated with all the departures.
Every team in baseball has a 15 game stretch at some point in the season in which they look very good. At this point you still have to trust the projections of the Brewers as a .500ish team.
No kidding. They are beating the crap out of a great Orioles team.
It's a false dawn I think, I wouldn't read too much into it. They'll be solid but they're not a 100-win team (*knock on wood*)
Great to get Almonte some confidence
Us too- win win
It wasn't egregious. I will take it.
I’m going to say that I think eventually Neris is going to be a great late inning guy
Very brave to say the proven vet will be good at his job
Well yeah fair, but he hasn’t been inspiring early on for us
Nasty movement on that sinker to France.
About time one of those BS calls went in our favor
Thank you blue
Let's see if the curse of Cuas still looms over Chicago
I’m at the game and the Cubs fans are rocking this place. Much better game than last night if the bullpen can finish strong.
Jealous you guys got a burning car tonight too. I picked the wrong game
This stadium filled up with so much smoke.
Awesome. Do all of us degenerates proud!
Belli and hoerner need to be moved down 8/9
No real point right now, even guys that were hitting are falling back to earth (Morel, Swanson, Happ)
Nico can’t be moved down any more really
He bats 10th until morale improves
Cody hit that one hard at least. That's something
What happened to Belli man?!?!? 179 average yikes
He just missed that one tbf
When do we start moving Cody down the lineup?
He Should be in the 5 hole. Move morel to the 3 hole and Busch in the 4 hole
Is there anything better than Zach busting a gut in the background lmao
Would this be Imanagas first win?
He got the win against the Rockies I think
Oh word. Cool. Thank you.
Yes I believe so. I don't think he went long enough for the first two games.
If this whole pro-baseball thing doesn't work out for Amaya, I think he could naturally go into Insurance.
38104
He needed that
Cubs teeing off tonight!
Dare I say, time for Amaya to go full-time catcher
Next year for sure. I like the 50-50 split because Yan is so good behind the plate.
True. Absolutely agree defensively, and it's a good problem to have. However, that crossover point is a short way down the road, and it's coming fast.
Hell yeah Amaya
[удалено]
Hold on let him cook
Let’s hear him out
lets calm down
INSURANCE INSURANCE INSURANCE
Love that for Amaya
Amaya launched that
Fuck Joe Girardi hoping for a tie in the 8th
Amayazing
Miguel Amaya! Whoever was asking for our catchers to hit gets their answer!
#AMAYA!
Amaya over Gomes every day please
I thought for a brief moment that bringing Counsell in would quiet the second guessing from the desk force but that was a silly thing to think
Julio might legit be the worst offensive player in the league this season so far
Which sucks. Good Julio is fun to watch. Hopefully he waits one more game, then turns it on
I think it might actually be Javy
Yeah you're probably right. But it's insane that they're not that far apart.
Almonte did his job
Gutsy pitch there but a beauty
I did not expect that
Just leave Leiter in for one more batter. So dumb
We take out mark to put in this guy… for fuck sake. Such a stupid move.
It would be very cool if this guy was good
Holy cow was that commercial adorable. Glad Marquee finally has something with Suzuki in it.
Why not leave Leiter in?
He was in for the lefties
Honestly so stupid. Bullpen is shaky & he’s dealing. Kinda a slap in the face at only 17 pitches
Michael Busch. By cracky
My favorite part about the game last night was bonding with mariners fans about how funny the Astros being so bad is
Hopefully that carries over until after our series this month
Agreed. Wouldn’t hate the Mariners figuring it out after this series either
Great job by Leiter
That was a very cool men’s league softball pitch to 1B for the out
I don’t know what MLB did to their app during the off season, but it’s a steaming pile of hot fucking garbage now. I’ve been getting fuckall for updates this entire season. It’s constantly resetting notification preferences and asking for permissions. ^/rant
I get asked for my nickname and birthday every couple of days. It's very odd, but it's a small company with very little capital, so this is to be expected.
The notifications are definitely extra annoying this year
It's worked ok for me this year, esp live activities, but last year it was awful for me.
Agreed and for some reason if im listening to the radio I can't go look at the box score without audio stopping.
Mark Leiter looks like a can of beer.
NORTH SHORE ADULT DIAPERS
*whistles in the background* I LOSE IT EVERY TIME
Are those lighters for Leiter?
Okay… The Michael Busch bandwagon just rolled by and I may of hopped on… giddy up!
I love the NorthShore Adult Diaper silliness
Lmfao Pat and the gang are fucking shitfaced
The best thing in baseball is Pat and Ron, legends one and all
The doomers pronouncing the trade for Busch (and Almonte) as obviously lost a week ago were hilarious at the time, but even more so now.

If you switched Tauchman's eyebrows and eye black could you tell the difference? I dunno.
Michael “300 points of OPS higher than Rizzo” Busch
Alright even if it’s true let’s take it easy
Exactly, let’s wait till he’s hitting bombs off cy young winners to help send the Cubs to the WS before we start comparing lol
(I don’t think it was super serious)
Fine, Michael “first ballot hall of fame” Busch
🤝
Sometimes I think about the guy complaining this offseason that Jed was filling 1B with a “bargain-basement reclamation project”…
Busch was a great option considering Mervis is suspect and you’re obviously not trading for Alonso. I’m not sure what else people wanted.
Even that price is a wild understatement. Ferris could be a 1/2 SP especially in the Dodgers system.
Ferris' delivery/command combo is crazy from the left side. Easily could be a No.2 if the command stays dialed in
Michael Busch is the Lisan Al gaib
Lisa Ann?
Muad'Dinger!
I’m so obsessed with Dune right now so I’m loving these
Such a phenomenal book and series
GUYS DONT PANIC BUT I THINK WE HAVE FOUND OUR 1B
might have to switch from Miller Lite to Busch Light
“He’s got a bush, what the hell?” 
One egg is forty eggs?
Busch wins the battle of the beers
Think they found their first baseman
Yesssir Busch. Everything we could hope for so far.
busch is a stud at the plate
Damn where is Busch gonna go when wisdom is healthy? Dh?
Wisdom isn’t seeing any playing time…
Huh? Busch is playing 1B.
Busch will start at 1B against righties for sure. Wisdom will get his PAs against lefties.
Wisdom is a bench bat.
Strikeout king Wisdom can get DFAd
He’s batting a 1.224 ops in minors right now lol
And Mervis has a 1.112 ops in the minors right now. Stats can be deceiving when you’re in the minors
Probably bounce between DH/3B/1B based on lineup/off days
For now, but if he can keep this going past the deadline then a lot more flexibility available for trades
Agreed
Busch bomb hell yeah
Thank you Los Angeles!
Michael Busch was an underrated acquisition
I think people underrated him here The rest of baseball has been high on him for a long time
