MLB: 2020 Chicago Cubs Season Thread

[Die4Cy]

Cascade, Iowa native Colin Rea got called up this morning from South Bend, he's a right hand starting pitcher. Interesting.

Dillon Maples and his 5.00 WHIP in the bullpen has been sent down to make the roster spot.

I’m not too upset about missing Castillo tonight

Well one of the three main guys I feel that are down there that need brought up. We are getting there.

Rae doesn’t have electric stuff nor the poise of a Hendricks or Mills but he throws strikes and will make the opponent earn runs. I like the move.

Sucks on Maples. Dude has one of the nastiest sliders in the game, if he could only throw the damn fastball for a strike

What does everyone use to watch the Cubs?

I have direct tv and marquee network in Clive but my mom enjoys watching Cubs but she has Dish Network in Western Iowa. Her only option is a streaming service correct? Not sure she can figure that out.

 

[Die4Cy]

At least he's getting them over the plate tonight.

$16 million doesn't get you as much as it used to.

Need to be up 3 going into the ninth this year.

Edit: at a minimum, our closer has an ERA of about 500

She could get a Roku (like $30 one time cost), get the Marquee app and use your Direct TV login info to login. Super easy to set up (for you, I'd imagine you'd have to help her). Once it's all set up it's literally like 3 clicks for me to watch on my Roku. Not sure if she has any trouble with changing inputs or anything.

Magic Number:

Since the 2018 season (2+ seasons) Anthony Rizzo has been hit by 53 pitches, more than any other MLB player.

What the hell has gotten into Chatwood?

 

[baller21]

Damn, who’s this chatwood guy? Seems pretty decent.

 

[CloneinWDSM]

More like CYler Chatwood

 

[baller21]

Ah yes, chatty. I remember him now.

 

[cysmiley]

we need a couple more runs, could be time to call in our closer in the top of the ninth.

Edit: got 2 hope its enough

Whew

 

[CycloneErik]

Stop the season, start the World Series now.

Jesus man. No lead is safe

Jesus man. No lead is safe

I mean technically Cubs have won every game they led after thr 2nd inning, so maybe EVERY lead is safe...

Let’s rephrase that then.... no cubs fan’s blood pressure is safe.
