Molina comes back and catches a 4 hit shut-out and then Flaherty goes right into talking about having Molina back in the post game on the field. He almost no hit the Cubs with Wieters catching him who also hit a 3 run homer to ensure the rest of the game was minimum stress. You are talking about th...

Yeah after he got doubled off multiple times and made the excuse about the signs. Like I said don’t be ignorant. We all know what happened.

It was more than that. Don’t be ignorant. Did he get sent down for his .798 OPS as a starter or the .800+ OPS he had the month leading up to getting sent down? Part of it was the play at 2nd against the Pirates where he threw home and took none of the blame, which is a main issue they wanted him to...

It was a 122 after yesterday game, but will go up again after today. In today's game he homered for the 3rd game in a row going 1-for-2 with a pair of HBP. His OPS on the year in Iowa is .987 which leads the team even better than Robel, and in 14 games sent getting sent down .362/.441/.702/1.143. O...

Also, just glanced at FG & saw Russell with a 111 wRC+ during his time at Iowa this year. #prettymehh It was a 122 after yesterday game, but will go up again after today. In today's game he homered for the 3rd game in a row going 1-for-2 with a pair of HBP. His OPS on the year in Iowa is .987 w...

Yep There was 1 out a man on 3rd and Baez on deck who was 0-2 with 2ks. We were out of relief pitchers and Lester had 2 strikes on him. Yeah, he could’ve fouled out, but if he gets in play it’s game over. It wasn’t even a great bunt and Heyward scored. A stupid horsefeathering call is a little dram...

I mean, we won the game, but damn was that a stupid horsefeathering call from Maddon. What was? The bunt? Yep There was 1 out a man on 3rd and Baez on deck who was 0-2 with 2ks.

I was there too and I can't believe you even have to consider whether you're remembering correctly since it's to this day the most memorable regular-season game of the current era. (Matusz gave up a 2-run homer in each of the first 3 innings.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MljLIunexEI I mean, we ...

Is Rizzo Tony, Toni, or Toné?

No? Ok.

You guys apparently need to watch more baseball as every year guys get traded to contenders and see major boots in performances. Its amazing how you idiots are willing to go full [expletive] on other subjects because you got triggered by me saying Russell should be on the team. Additional names fro...

If Sanchez can beat the O’s on Saturday I’m on your side.

So it’s got to be Brach going out or IL’d for Hamels, right??

No way they send Wick down, I hope.

Wow!! Shame he couldn’t put it together completely.

Thanks for the first 2 outs in the 10th!

Bo Bichette pulled from minor league game. Don’t know if it’s tied to some bigger trade.

I mean, I get Javy doesn't walk much, but it's not great that he hasn't drawn a walk since June 25, right? happy now? I guess I look at production rather than hasn't taken a walk or hasn't hit a home run in so many days. His obp leaves something to be desired but he is generally productive. Everyon...

His equipment hasn’t arrived yet, that’s why he was scratched.

Descalso goes to the IL with an ankle injury he got back in April.

We had an extra reliever when Collins came up for Mills, but next week we’ll need to make a move if Hamels comes back.

There is a decent amount of full Cubs games from 03-04 on you tube.
