I sure am glad the Cubs up and down have gone out of there way to antagonize umpires this season so that they get loving zero borderline strike calls. This is a winning formula that isn't coming back to bite them at all, no sir.

Cubs gonna lose another 1-run away game

There is no way they don't give up additional runs before this game is over with how pathetic they look tonight.

So is Severino injured or what? He started the season looking like he was going to continue his acely tear but it feels like he's been dogshit for a while now.

String bean has not been sharp lately.

He has not, Joe running him out in this spot vs the heart of the Nationals order was asinine. Cool way to throw a game, Maddon.

:lol: so Justin Wilson was available but did not come in to start the inning despite Harper and Soto being guaranteed AB's. No instead he comes in to face a righty after the winning run gets to third with only one out. Dear god Joe.

I can't believe I'm typing this but Justin Wilson probably deserves the toast of the game over Bote. If he doesn't get those two outs (or hell, even just gives up a deep flyball out for the first) then the Cubs lose right there.

Could Lester and Ross just conceivably start tomorrow's game? Neither threw more pitches than you'd throw in a regular off day bullpen session.

Realtalk though, is there a minor league stadium nearby? Rosters have expanded, just split squad this poo poo and have two concurrent games spring training style.

Cubs went out and signed left handed Chatwood, reality predictably ensues.

At least Hamels is going game 2.

Why? Seriously, why burn the bullpen instead of let Garcia throw 100 and die on the mound to spare them for a game we can actually win?

If the Cubs come back to win a bullpen game where they'll be holding back their best relievers for game 2 of a doubleheader and have already spotted Scherzer a three run lead in the first, the Nats are truly the kings of chocking and I will not make another pessimistic post about the Cubs on SA until next year. That includes any potential postseason games. :toxx:

Oh wow they turned that Javy error into a hit, which means those grand slam runs are now earned for Rodriguez. That's a bummer for him.

Great PH call there Joe.

Cubs are losing to the Nats and Bote is out of the game. loving gg, didn't need that lead over the Brewers anyway I guess.
