Seeking6 Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 Unfortunately Cubs don't have the time to lose. Tough one to take at home. Have to get today before Cardinals come to town. I get so wrapped up in our own division....wanted to throw a tip of the cap to the Rays and A's. 2 small market franchises, small budgets and payrolls....zero home attendance in horrible stadiums and somehow they manage to be 30 over .500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steubenhoosier Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 Twins come from 2 down in the 12th inning to win 9-8 over Chisox. Winning run derived as they load the bases and then a HBP. Crazy way to win a ballgame, but at this point, a win is a win. 5 up with 11 to go. No 1964 Phillies meltdown, I am hoping.

Probably the last time I get to discuss the White Sox until next April. I remember way back when in June/July some of the Chicago reporters were discussing Sox rebuild and how it might be moving along at a faster pace than Cubs back in 2015. 21 under .500 and 28 games out of first. Heckuva rebuild you got going there on the South Side Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 Sonny Gray broke a record last night because it was his 32nd consecutive game that he gave up 6 hits or less in a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud2BAHoosier Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 Give it up for the Reds and Nats! Cubs and Cards unable to take advantage. Meanwhile, Luis Severino came back and pitched well in a 8-0 win. But Betances suffered a season ending injury after facing 2 batters, he has a partially torn achilles tendon. Talk about bad breaks! Yankees magic number to clinch AL East is 1!!! Cards, Cubs, Reds, Twinkie fans carry on...…………. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 Reds are 71-81 so they need two more wins to avoid another 90 loss season. They are 22-32 in one run games and if they could have just won 6 or 7 more of those games they would be right in the race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt and was actually really good trade with the Yankees. Unlike the last one we had with them where they stole Chapman from us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stlboiler23 Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 Cards can’t beat two 7+ ERA pitchers at Coors Field but put up a 5 spot against Scherzer. Baseball is a strange game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Cubs didn't have the injuries or periods where they can't score....the Reds would be 22.5 games out of first not just 13.5. Kind of goes both ways...right?

Proud2BAHoosier Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Well shoot! The Yankees lost tonight 3-2 to the Angels. The offense was non-existent as they only managed 6 hits. The Angels winning run was scored on an error by Yankees pitcher Adam Ottavino. Now I almost wish the Rays win so the Yanks can clinch tomorrow in front of the home crowd.

Seeking6 Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 59 runs in the previous series and now back to back games of 2 runs each. Oh well. Onto St. Louis. Obviously huge 4 game set starting tonight. Need to take 3 of 4 and see what happens next week when Cards travel to a still in the race Diamonbacks team and Cubs head to Pirates before we play each other again. Wish we weren't in this position and honestly we shouldn't be. Very underachieving year from hitting slumps to bullpen. Every team deals with injuries (some more than others) but being down Baez and Rizzo this week just stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cards win the central, they will have earned it. 2 series against the Cubs, 1 against the D-Backs, and 1 against the Brew Crew. Brewers schedule is a joke.
