***Official 2023 Chicago Cubs Thread***

Brewers next 9 games are cakewalks. If we can keep pace with them the next 2 weeks, our schedule eases up quite a bit while theirs picks up and I like our odds of surpassing them.

How does a major league pitching staff give up 20 runs and then the next night give up (at the moment) 14???
Inexcusable and pitching coaches should be fired.

Don't be coming over here to rain on our parade. We have enough Cubs fans here to do that.

I like our chances more now Stroman is on the IL.

Fight at the bat rack right now for Cubs batters to face this Reds Pitching.

SEIYA ******* SUZUKI ARE YOU ******* KIDDING ME

Need to see a lot more than one 20-9 shellacking.

With that said Candelario might go down as one of the best, "under the radar" pick ups of the trade deadline (for any team).

Done.

We're 1-8 against the Nats, Rockies, and A's.

Helps facing a Catcher that is pitching.

 

[CycloneErik]

Dudes made a school girl look like Cy Young lately so we’ll take it and be happy, dammit

Cubs Twitter isn’t showing the actual pitch for the dongs we hit last inning, just the start of the swing lol

 

[cyfanatic13]

Really just need to not get swept by the Braves this weekend. They are an absolute buzz saw

Hanging knuckleballs make good BP.

You mean 64mph pitches are easy for major league players to square up?

 

[ISUCubswin]

How about this for a stat - Morel became the 4th player in MLB history to hit a homerun from every spot in the lineup in a single season. Happ was the 3rd in 2017

At this point, anything less than 4 wins on this homestead would be disappointing. Win today, and try to get 2 of 3 this weekend.

 

[CyState85]

Brewers may pick up Mancini….I already know how that will turn out.

 

[Clonefan32]

A win today seems huge. If you come out of this series with 3 of 4, two of which were monumental beat downs, not only do you feel good but you've sent a clear message to the Reds. It also provides you a bit of wiggle room with the Braves coming to town to maybe only get 1 of 3 there and feel ok.
