Palencia’s walk out music/light show is badass lol

 

[ISUAlum2002]

Whew, got it done.

 

[Cyched]

Touchdown they did it

 

[NazClone]

Cubs win. thank you Nico!

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Will take the W. Now if the Brewers could keep losing elsewhere that would be great

 

[cyatheart]

Palencia you are going to kill me...Nico great play

 

[Cyched]

If the Cubs at least split the next two, they will win the season series and have a tiebreaker for the Division if they are able to claw back.

Somebody give this man an eggplant emoji

Holy hell that was almost a disaster but what an electric atmosphere

 

[TheCaptain]

Exhale.

 

[JP4CY]

And the Cubs take the season series vs Brewers.

Schedule looks favorable the next couple weeks.

Found this. "Tucker was injured while sliding into second base against the Cincinnati Reds on June 1. X-rays on his right finger were initially negative -- the team indicated it was a jammed finger -- but further imaging showed a slight fracture on the top of his hand, near where the pinkie and ring finger meet, according to sources familiar with the imaging. Re-imaging done in mid-June showed the injury was healing, but it was still impacting Tucker who may have begun favoring his hand by then, leading to poor mechanics."

So at no point in the last 8 weeks that he’s been totally unable to hit a baseball did anyone think “hey maybe we take another look at that hand”? That’s unconscionably dumb.

Team looks to have some juice back, which is awesome. Could look back at that Monday rain delay as a turning point. They needed that reset.

Three straight walks. Send Rea to the minors.

every player who does not meet your high standards should be set to Iowa. JFC

This comment went way over your head.

Insurance probably wouldn’t pay for a second x-ray and Tommy was too cheap to spring for one.

Tommy doesn't do co-pays...

no it didn't. you just think all players are all stars. did I enjoy him walking 3 no but get a grip and hoped he got out it and he did.

 

[isucy86]

When Palencia doesn’t have it working he is really bad lol

Yea he lost his fastball command. He just started to overthrow.

But he also got squeezed on that 1st pitch to Frelick. The ump calls that a strike and its tougher for Frelick to lay-off on a couple other pitches. Can't wait till MLB adds robo ump or ability to review ball/strikes.
