Official 2023 Chicago Cubs Season Thread Vol: (17-17)

[sportsjunkie]

Well we headed back to Washington. Smh!

 

[sportsjunkie]

I have 0 confidence in the Cubs winning tomorrow. My feelings are hurt right now!

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

Have faith fam, this ain't over.
Just the fact that we made the postseason speaks volumes of this teams resiliency, we ain't done by a long shot.

Horrible strike zone by the ump out there.
Haven't seen a travesty like that since Livan Hernandez.

Hey, Professor Hendricks is on the job, and we CAN hit Gio. This time, we need to him him, and hit him good. Give the professor some cushion.

We've faced winner take alls before, just gotta do it again.

 

[sportsjunkie]

Thanks fellas for the positive outlook. I will be tune in tomorrow night.

We due for a breakout game where the bats are on fire!!!!!!!

The inconsistency of the cubs offense the whole season is starting to show in the playoffs, but your right they are due for an offensive explosion.

 

[CP1708]

Jay leadoff double, reaches third on a wild pitch, scores on a Rizzo groundout would have been single without the shift)
Walk to Contreras, solid single by Almora, walk to Russell......already 25+ pitches for Gio.

Only 1 run, but Jay will already bat again in the 2nd. Gio with an early high pitch count. Wish we scored more than 1, but still better start than games 1-4.

 

[CP1708]

Javy with an incredible throw to the plate to nail Turner, keeps it 1-0. #Guts

 

[CP1708]

Daniel Murphy, again.

1-1

RARE Hendricks mistake.

 

[sportsjunkie]

Double Play right here! Calling it!

 

[sportsjunkie]

Oh Boy Oh boy!

 

[CP1708]

WOW........

Michael A Taylor, again.......

3 run bomb. Hendricks is officially off. Already the 5th hit he's allowed. He gave up 2 in 7 innings game 1.

 

[sportsjunkie]

The bats gotta wake up ASAP!!!!. We can’t give up no more runs.

 

[CP1708]
