Just get tired of Cubs fans who think they are so great because they won 1 world series in 107 years. My advice? Start wearing boxers...those tightie-whiteys are making you tense...

Thought he was making some progress but not after that meltdown. I don't like losing but can handle it. What I can't handle is gifting games away. I think that's 3 or 4 this year our pen has done that. 27 games left. 20 of those against playoff or playoff contending teams. Can't afford to keep running him out there when game is on line.

Hopefully we can get some leads in that series and let him work his way out of this but if not he can't be coming out in 9th again. Especially with the schedule we have rest of year.

So much for that since he gave 4 runs in 5 innings and 3 home runs. Cubs has now hit 5 home runs in the game and is up 6-1. Since the all star game last year Castillo has not been very good.

IU Scott Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 In the 4 games so far the Reds have given up 13 home runs and 18 runs. Both teams pretty much just score on home runs and really have not had much else offensively. The Reds is the only team not to give up a home run with more than one person on base. They give up some home runs but very rarely with men on with 65 percent being solo home runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hits .319 against lefties apparently. Since the rest of our right handed hitters are batting .218 it makes sense to try and do anything. Could be our DH moving forward.

IU Scott Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 Bottom of the 7th was atypical Reds inning where they get 3 walks but K's twice and with two puts Castellanos hits a line drive but the Cubs made a diving catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 Very disappointed in the Reds today because with the pitchers they faxed today they should have put up more than 1 run in 8 innings. Looked at the starters today you thought the Reds would have a big advantage but Castillo has been very disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 Game over Reds pitcher walked 3 then gives up a grand slam. Now they have a position player in pitching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 I'm hoping even our pen can hold a 10-1 lead. Two dongs for Happ, Heyward, and now Schwarber with a Grand Slam. Not sure why whoever is pitching for the Reds thought a knee high pitch inside half of plate to KS was a good idea but we'll take it. Glad we are getting the split but after giving that one away last night it still feels average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 Some stats of the day. Cubs are first team in MLB history to have all 3 outfielders hit 2 home runs each in a game. And with KS last blast the Cubs outfielders have more home runs today from OF positions than Indians do all season. Who happen to be in first. Small ball disclaimer.

My bias aside...inner half of plate and he'll mash anything....which always has me confused with pitches, scouts, coaches when he gets some cheese like he did today.
