Official 2023 Chicago Cubs Season Thread Vol: (17-17)

[CP1708]

No.

We have 110 wins with Heyward in Right. Zero need to change anything. Do what you've done for SEVEN months. (And 2 wins for every loss)

Yup.
You do what brought you here.

I fully expect Jake to pitch a gem tomorrow.
Let's keep the faith.

 

[CP1708]

I may stand corrected, I just looked at Jake's numbers with Montero, and with Contreras, maybe Miggy should catch.

Willson can catch games 3-4 at Wrigley. Need dominant Jake in Cleveland. If that means Miggy, so be it.

 

[CP1708]

There is an issue however.....

Indians have played 9 playoff games. And given up 15 runs.

To the Red Sox, Blue Jays and Cubs.

That's rough. :x

Jessie Rogers saying Soler will start tonight

 

[CP1708]

Long time ago, but Bryant/Soler/Baez went back to back to back off Bauer last year in Spring Training. Maybe Joe remembers that and thinks Soler matches up well with him.

Iono tho.....

 

[illmatic34]

Wilson catching Jake tonight. All offense lineup apparently.

 

[CP1708]

Fowler CF
Bryant 3B
Rizzo 1B
Zobrist LF
Schwarber DH
Baez 2B
Contreras C
Soler RF

dang 39F on the field tonight....drizzling

 

[CP1708]

Bryant single, Rizzo double makes it 1-0 early. 29 pitches already for Bauer.

Let's go Jake.

 

[CP1708]

Schwarber.

 

[CP1708]

Soler robbed of a walk, hits into a DP

Russell follows with a single, Bauer out after 3 2/3. Make the pen work, hard. Blue threw 87 pitches, excellent work.

Need a crooked number inning tho.

2-0 bottom 4.

 

[CP1708]

Zobrist

 

[CP1708]

Kyle Schwarber.

 

[CP1708]

Need a crooked number inning tho.

Great response from these Cubbies man. Once at Wrigley it'll be a slugfest from these kids I'm hoping

 

[CP1708]

Heyward in for Soler now.

Jake finally gives up a hit, he scores on a wild pitch.

5-1 top 7

Jake did all we can ask for. Now the pen has to hold. Chapman may go 2 with multiple days rest and an off day tomorrow.

 

[CP1708]

Contreras walk
Heyward line out (SMOKED)
Russell fielders choice + E
Fowler single

Bases loaded, one out for Bryant.....

 

[CP1708]

Terrible AB from Bryant hurts us.

Rizzo had a long fly ball, woulda been a run if hit by Bryant, but nothin with 2 outs.

 

[CP1708]

5-1, bottom 9, Chapman in.

Great appearance by Mike Montgomery. He was terrific.

 

[arstyle27]

All tied up!!! Wrigley gonna be insaaaaaane

 

[CP1708]

W. 1-1

Win 111 in 2016

 

[illmatic34]
