MLB: ***Official 2017 Chicago Cubs Season Thread***

[ISUAlum2002]

Having a crappy bullpen along with not scoring at all early in the game (or ever in the game, I guess) isn't a recipe for success.

 

[ISUCubswin]

Bryant is hitting .295 this year but .237 when there are runners in scoring position.

BA with 2 outs and a runner on third: .091 this year.

 

[Shawker]

The walks are going to make my hair go gray much earlier than it otherwise would have.

 

[CycloneErik]

What the heck happened?
Glad to see no runs yet, but this is trouble.

 

[CycloneErik]

If Baez, Rizzo, and Heyward weren't all Gold Glove caliber fielders, that popup would have given me a heart attack.

Walk and a double.

 

[LindenCy]

Whew. Let's get some some runs.

 

[CycloneErik]

Whew. Let's get some some runs.

Amateur hour on my part here, but it seems like a big inning follows when someone blows an opportunity like the Dodgers just did.

 

[Shawker]

Whew. Let's get some some runs.

You're cute. The Cubs don't score runs in the playoffs this year.

He's not that cute.

I'm getting REALLY annoyed with all of the strikeouts no matter who is pitching. I get the K's against Kershaw, but Hill? For f's sakes hit the damn ball.

They just can't. I've never seen an entire team take strikes and swing at balls like the Cubs are doing right now. Totally guessing at the plate.

 

[ISUCubswin]

Getting to the point where I'm starting La Stella. At least give me a fighting chance in the batters box.

Early in the NLCS last year, and the World Series, our hitters looked clueless. They got gooder.

This is really bad, though.

 

[CycloneErik]

I wish I could do anything as well as Baez can get down a tag.

 

[FerShizzle]

Contreras to Baez is as pretty as it gets.

 

[FerShizzle]

I wish I could do anything as well as Baez can get down a tag.

He's the best I've ever seen. It's practically his super power. TAG MAN!

 

[CycloneErik]

BOOM!!!! WHOOOP, there it is!

 

[Cyched]

ADDY!

Maybe you're on to something...let's hope.
