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

Is it too early to say wait till next year :lol

Sadly it’s looking like Joes last year even though this season he has done nothing wrong.
 
This is pretty incredible. 8-0 Brewers, in the 3rd.....

Well.....on the bright side, we did score 10 times after this. But we gave up 5 more to lose 13-10.

CJ being sent down to regroup.

LA started 2-6 last year. Need to win today to equal that. 1-7 would be pretty unreal.
 
Heyward goes 3-3 with 2 BB's, 2 steals, 2 homers, 3 RBI. :eek :hat
Caratini follows him getting on base all 5 times and a Homer as well.
Baez a solo shot
Rizzo a 2 run 2B
Bote a 3 run 2B

Cubs win 14-8

Pen still gives up 6 in 3 innings including a 3-run Homer to Braun and a 3-run Homer to Thames. But, Cubs score 7 in the 8th to hold them off.
 
Big win, but the bullpen is still horrible. Sheeesh.....let's just win this series, and hope some home cooking is the answer. I'll be at Wrigley on Monday.
 
Well......on the bright side, we scored 10 runs again. (5th time in 10 games)

On a bigger bright side, we threw a shutout. :hat. Complete with 7 innings from the bullpen. :eek

On the bad side, Lester left after two innings because of a hamstring thing. Just bein cautious, but hopefully he can get past that pretty quick.

Won the road opener with 12 runs.
Won the home opener with 10 runs.

Slowly but surely, starting to improve.

Contreras, Baez and Heyward carrying the O, Q carrying the staff.

Pen starting to solidify. Lester/Monty/CJ should be back soon.

Slow start hurts, but plenty of season left.
 
Back to .500, we've won something like 7 of 9.

Chatwood 6 shutout innings. :eek

Bote walkoff single in the bottom of the 9th.

Morrow tho ....... :|
We're gonna need pen help asap.
 
Great W today. 3 run 2B for Contreras, 2 run oppo homer for Rizzo, solo oppo homer for Baez, Quintana another solid 7 innings. (3rd in a row)
 
Down 3-0 in the 6th, 3 run homer from Baez to tie it, 3 run homer from Heyward to take a 6-3 lead.

6 runs, all with 2 outs. :hat
 
Cubs beat Seattle 11-0 allowing only 1 hit.
Cubs beat Cardinals 4-0 allowing only 4 hits.

15-5 their last 20, best in baseball.

Rizzo a 3- run bomb today, his 4th in 5 games.

Hendricks with a Maddux.
 
Darvish struggles, we fall behind 5-1, Taylor Davis hits a game tying Grand Slam to tie it.

Bottom 8, Baez leads off with an oppo blast, Strop nails it down, Cubs heat the boring Cards 6-5. :hat

2-7 start, 16-5 since. :eek
