LOL...I got no dog in the fight. I'm not a Cubs fan either. I just found it funny. He was actually pretty effective. I think it really screws with the batters timing.

5fouls Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Farmers pitching was very entertaining, topped off by Baez hitting left-handed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Just glad to see the Cubs carry momentum on the road. Season high 3.5 lead in division. Contributions from all. Need to keep momentum going. Zobrist went yard last night in minor league action. I'm not going to say much on Kemp or Lucroy because their additions could still be suspect.....but Castellanos has shown me enough already to see if he wants to talk contract....haha. This dude just rakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This dude just rakes. No doubt. He's been a real spark, and I've always heard hitting is contagious. Not convinced we've gone from roadkill to road warriors just yet, but if the offense keeps hitting, the Cubs will be tough to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theo even mentioned again on the radio yesterday that Castellanos reminds our team what hunger looks like. Guy has meant just as much off the field too. I've given our road record it's proper burial in my mind. Just should never happen so no reason to keep renting space for free in my brain.

IUFLA Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Tyler Chatwood deserves a nod for last night too. 3 innings of 1 hit ball in long relief. Darvish vs Bauer should be an entertaining game tonight. Both have some nasty stuff when they're on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't get to see much of the game but box score wise looked very impressive. Darvish has been as good as anyone since July 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Maybe we can get Bell suspended again because we were 5-2 without him and he continues making bonehead decisions. The difference last night was that our horrible bullpen failed again where the Cubs horrible bullpen did well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be dead wrong on this but caught some guys yesterday on radio discussing if Reds had turned corner,etc...enough to possibly make noise at end of next season. Pitching had tough last night but this guy was saying his real concern about Reds is ability to score enough runs. Not staff. Does that fit in line with what Reds fans think?

They need upgrades and 2B, C and one more OF spot. Their starters should be fine going forward but the Reds bullpen has been really bad the last 2 months. The first two months the Reds pitching staff was ranked in the top 5 in the MLB but has falter down the stretch. I blame a lot of that on how Bell used the bullpen early on this year and just over worked then especially Hernandez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
