[QChawks]

what a showdown….

Cubs Ace Steele vs Pirates #1 pick Sikenes

 

[MeetTheFerentzes]

What a crap line up tonight. Happ, Madrigal, PCA, Amaya...

You must have hated that 6th and 7th inning...

 

[tumorboy]

And it’s glorious!

“Best fans in baseball” don’t show up when they suck.

They haven’t completely given up yet. But the Cardinals are trending that way. When the Cards truly break it’s going to be as bad as the Rocks or Fish.

I watched that live on TV. It still amazes me.

Gotta love the ‘roid era….

Am I wrong? That’s a weak offensive group. There were a few bloopers and seeing eye singles in there. Don’t get me wrong, you take every win, but that is not Murderers Row.

 

[TheCainer]

Looks like Almonte is going on the 15 Day IL and Cuas is being recalled from Iowa.

Injuries, injuries, injuries.

Blows. He’s actually become effective.

That’s the thing about baseball - it’s weird and baseball happens. You can make what looks like the perfect lineup and they can get run over and you can have a garbage lineup get some work done. That’s why I generally don’t get that caught up in lineup choices unless there’s a set pattern that seems stupid.

 

[IaHawks03]

Let's hope this new pitcher has some nerves and gives up a few base runners and runs in the first inning.

Anything but a 10 pitch inning

 

[hawkirugged17]

Throws hard.

 

[hawkirugged17]

 

[hawkirugged17]

Morel steals 2nd ... review ... reversed. And, he is not comfortable after that slide. Knee.

 

[hawkirugged17]

Steele has given up 6 runs for the 1st time in a while. 3 HRs by the Pirates.

What you just said and today's game. 3 HRs given up by Steele? Who'd athunkit? 🤮

 

[TheCainer]

Sounds like the Phillie Boo Birds have moved to Pittsburgh.

 

[ihawk in FWB]

What a bizzare half inning of baseball.

It was very generous of the umpires to wait until the Cubs tied before suspending the game.

That was big to get the tie game with the rain coming. I assume they will be able to resume later today, but if Tauchman gets out that is an official game.

Look, I get that, but we are rolling out 4, sometimes 5 guys hitting .220 or below. Amaya is below .200. That’s a bad line up.

 

[QChawks]

Well, that pitching duel ended up being a bust

 

[ihawk in FWB]

Dies anyone know when the will resume?

 

[lucas80]

Dies anyone know when the will resume?

The rain is moving out. Just some scattered light showers to the west of Pittsburgh. I keep checking Marquee because usually they will put a note on the rain delay coverage with the estimated start time. Nothing yet. That field was soaked. It might take a lot of prep on the infield to get it playable.
Enjoy the Cardinals and Brewers until the Cubs game resumes.

 

[lucas80]

Dies anyone know when the will resume?

7 pm is the projected start time.

 

[QChawks]

7-6 cubs 😁

 

[QChawks]

Reminds me of my 10-year-olds baseball game this morning

A boatload of walks 😂

 

[lucas80]

7-6 cubs 😁

Anyone swings with less than 2 strikes gets fined $1000

 

[tumorboy]

This game is wild

 

[lucas80]

JFC

 

[MeetTheFerentzes]

LOL Keegan.

 

[lucas80]

Yasmani Freaking Grandal…

 

[QChawks]

Yasmani Freaking Grandal…

One of the worst hitters in the league too

 

[TheCainer]

Can we just include this game in the Baseball Oddities Thread?

So bad even the White Sox didn’t want him anymore.

 

[TheCainer]

Should have let Alzolay pitch tonight.

He showed last night that he could keep the ball in the park.

Kyle Hendricks is now listed as the Cubs starter on Sunday, so, another roster move is coming. Earlier this week the Cubs said he'd take another AAA start. My guess is Taillon is going to the IL

Or maybe Keegan back to AAA. After a great start he’s been pretty bad

To be added to tomorrow ...
