But I'm pretty serious about booting Maples out. He just plain sucks. I wouldn't even wait for Kimbrel to return. The fact that they chose that clown over Alozay is irrational.

Now that my rant is over Hendricks I didn't see the game. What happened? Missing the catchers location? Or not syncing up with Lucroy.

Lets remember the mentality here. They gave Underwood one start in June of 2018, pitched one game, gave up 1 earned, 3K 3 BB, 2.25 ERA, send him down, moved him to the pen, had a 20 some scoreless inning streak the beginning of the year, and did not come back here til August 2019.

Maybe.

I honestly believe it had more to do with Alozay in the Iowa rotation and they just plucked out Mills. That would be 2/5th of that staff gone and a shift happening to cover the games. Add to it Alzolay most likely would have been unavailable anyways. last pitched 8/8.

Regardless they should ass can Maples. They already have a guy like him but with way more experience in Kimbrel. At least you know that he can pitch his way through wildness vs shit the bed like Maples does.

Damn. Saw the box score and thought it was broken.

Well they just needed to spilt here. Still can do that tomorrow.

This team can win the division but that’s about it for this season. One and done in the first round if they get to the playoffs.
Why don't we hear that they are having a team meeting to address this? These guys are so ho-hum. No fire or passion when they play.

Why can't we get hot like the Mets. We have 10x the talent but nobody knows how to light a fire under their behinds.

IF , BIG IF, they can get one tomorrow it won't feel too bad. But the Penn trip they better get their act together.

The build a lead in the division at home and then piss it away on the road.

Were you saying these same things after Thursday night's game as well?

Didn't think so....

Hendricks kept tossing 85 MPH fastballs over the middle of the plate and Cincy had batting practice. Pretty much sums it up.

Until the moment a team wins the division...then a playoff series...then the LS...then the WS...never let the highs get too high or the lows get too low.

The cubs are losing this game because they are being outplayed (to put it nicely) but Angel Hernandez is a fucking clown.

A game tying three run home run right here would not upset me.

Nice Job Javy. Would have preferred Bryant be waived home there.

How can the ball bounce UP if it doesn't hit the top of the wall?
