The plan continues to come together. Brewers beat PIT, then PIT beats STL this weekend while the Brewers flail on their pending 9-game trip to COL, SF and LAD, and simply quit and go home. Cubs win this series vs. CIN, then vs. TOR and @CIN and @ PHI. Theo had this all mapped out months ago.

damn. it's taken lackey about 8 minutes to throw 7 pitches...for a double and a walk with 0 out.

Bases loaded, no outs and only one run scored -- and came within about five feet of giving up a grand slam -- whew.

Bam Bam two strong, accurate throws in one week nailing guys at the plate. Definitely out there for the leather.

Guy can't throw a strike...11 strikes (including balls in play) 17 balls...why the heck are you swinging 3-0???

Submitted by crunch on Wed, 08/16/2017 - 08:48 pm

crazy as hell the reds only have 1 run after 2ip of what lackey has been doing. turrible. 45 pitches of garbage. someone give that guy a wrigley field $9.75 budweiser and a bench to sit on. grimm can go 5 innings, right?

If Montgomery isn't already up and throwing in the pen, he should be. And Joe should make sure Lackey knows it.

Submitted by Eric S on Wed, 08/16/2017 - 08:03 pm

Pennant race aside, there is a sort of curiosity factor of keeping Lackey out there ... a carnival freak show of near catastrophe

Submitted by Eric S on Wed, 08/16/2017 - 08:58 pm

Haven't checked to verify, but it seems that the Cubs have scored early and often in Lackey's starts since the all star break and he's pitched pretty well with those leads. I'd like to see that trend continue

Seems an appropriate turn of events given the wackiness of this game. At least the Reds burned their closer last night - you would think.

Submitted by crunch on Wed, 08/16/2017 - 08:34 pm

maddon is mad. also, the umps are bums. ...and maddon ejected.

Really weird - at what point does time elapse on a swing. It clearly looked like the bat didn't break the zone on the bunt - only after he got hit and when he was tossing the bat to the dugout

Submitted by crunch on Wed, 08/16/2017 - 08:42 pm

HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! cubs win on a f'n wild pitch.

Submitted by billybucks on Wed, 08/16/2017 - 08:45 pm

They lost to the Brewers the same way. Same pitcher I think. Huge W. that would have been a brutal loss. Very similar to the first post-AS game.

Submitted by Eric S on Wed, 08/16/2017 - 08:47 pm

Perfect way to end this game. 8th inning still problematic but at least Wade looked pretty sharp tonight - I believe only his sixth appearance this month.

I thought Edwards' pitch to Duvall was in a pretty good location -- a slider right at the knees on the outside of the plate. It looked like a good strike and Duvall really had to reach for it one-handed. Maybe it didn't break sharply enough (I couldn't tell) and/or maybe he was sitting on a slider but I thought it was a pretty good pitch until it sneaked into the first row of the bleachers.

    seiya was spotted doing work with the team pre-game saturday and sunday, but counsell says he's not anywhere near a rehab assigment.

    looking a lot like late may return rather than early/mid may return.

    steele may return to the bigs after his wednesday AAA start.

    hendricks has been throwing off a mound and may get rehab game work later this week.

    Folks, I've known Richard Lovelady since he was an 18 yr old Freshman at East Ga State College in Swainsboro, Ga.

    I was the WBB Coach at EGSC and Richard was their prize recruit from outside of Hinesville, Ga.

    My roommate was the Pitching Coach there.

    Richard showed up a skinny, loose lipped, 83mph Lefty. Pretty good basketball player actually. 

    My roommate became the head coach.

    Richard came back from a minor injury for his Sophmore year a more serious man. He hit 90mph and started mowing GA JUCO hitters down. It was really fun to watch.

    He was the first D1 signee for EGSC baseball (school had only had athletics for five yrs at that point). He went to Kennesaw St and became their closer. One yr later, he hit 100mph and KC drafted him in the 10th Rd. 

    He lost the high velo with a surgery a while back.

    It's so cool to see him in MLB. And now he's a Cub!! It's crazy to realize I actually "know" a Cub.

    He's a legit good guy.

    Easy to root for!!!
