reds are hot but we played better yesterday

we win i game


lets go cubbies

No one that was on the roster start the season seems to give a shit about showing up now. It is going to be hard to beat anyone with that kind of an attitude. The pitching has been downright awful recently.

We stinks.

After they traded everyone I felt that there was no way they'd win another 20 games. Could of gone lower with that estimate. I think they have to win 11 to not drop 100 games for the season.

I'll keep taking the other team -1.5

Maybe parlay that with Giants -1.5 and watch Bryant and Baez play in San Francisco instead of wasting my time with the Cubs.

Cubs era in August 8.13

Wow. I've seen some bad Cub squads.

Larry Walker was mocking us in the RF bleachers in 1997 as we started the season 0-12. Ended up at 0-14 but COL was gone by then or he might have been perilously close to holding up both his hands twice to mock us instead of just taking off his glove to get the other 2 fingers up to show us 12 in that 9th inning.

But this is getting historic.

Is it 19 of the last 20 they've lost? And lost badly.

This team has gone from first place to historically bad. Could be the biggest plunge of all time.

They might lose 100 games.

And they lost 11 straight with the guys they traded.

It's pretty crazy to think about that were sitting here on August 16th and the Bears have as many wins this month as the Cubs do.

_________________

The Reds had about the same record as us.

In fact we had a way better record than them before we traded Joc.

Yet somehow they are now 10 games over .500 and only a couple games behind the Padres for the second wild card.

Somehow Bully Hoyer didnt think we were capable of that. Fuck him. 2 months is a long time and things can change.

Look at how the Braves and Phillies have shot up and taken over the division from the Mets.

FUCK BULLY HOYER.

tough loss but today is a bounce back day

I’m not sure they have the 11 wins in them to not. There are some bad teams on the schedule but I’m not sure anything is as bad as this.

Happ, and the JHK are tremendously valuable losing asets during the tankathon. JHK came up yesterday when the Cubs were rallying only down 4-0. He of course feebly struck out to help kill the rally. I noticed Ross pinch hit for him when he was trying to win. But now doesn't. He's actually earning some of his money and being productive. He's a major leaguer (kind of). So he'll occasionally get a hit to screw things up. But all of a sudden he's a great guy to have on the roster. Wish they'd kept Jake.

Cubs already brought minor league baseball to Iowa. Why do they need to do it again?

-1.5 Reds (+105)

Hendricks 6.67 ERA at the Great American Ballpark. Let's keep the -1.5 money train going.

Happer with HR #13.

If he continues to play everyday, he could reach 20 HR, which would be a banner year for him.

45 games left.

He also holds the record for most ever HR's by a Cubs switch-hitter (75).

You knew when Hendricks left the game there is going to be trouble with the bullpen.

More than Jerry White?

If the JHK has 150 ab the rest of the year and by a miracle hits .300. he'd still be at only.236 for the season. Even if he did that he still wouldn't have 100 hits for the season. He's at 23 RBI. If he gets hot and has 15 more. That's 38 total in 420 ab for a RF.

Looks like Ross wasn't fucking around, went straight to Wick for the 7th.

Where has JD been? It’s been about a week. Haven’t read or heard an explanation for his absence.

I havent either. Probly has Covid.

Or maybe he said something that offended a woke person and got taken off the air.

But my guess is Covid. Quarantining for 10 days or some shit.

Cubs starting pitcher today Adrian Sampson career MLB era 5.71. 4.96 with Iowa this year. Pretty obvious he's here to get bombed. Early game maybe the Reds will sit a lot of guys.

Ross on with Larry shoveling the bs. This team could definitely have a 3rd 10+ game losing streak. I could see them putting Hendricks on the fake IL.

I'd love to see Hendricks win 20 games this year.

On this team.

He should win the Cy Young. He's got over 26% of their wins.

His ERA is over 4 and (as of 2 starts ago) he has allowed more baserunners than anyone else in the NL.

Good year, not Cy worthy.

He's not going to win it.

I just think it would be funny.

Besides, wins are not a real stat anymore.
