rico Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 10 hours ago, IU Scott said: Reds totally gave this game away, you give up 3 runs after you strike out a guy for the third out but the catcher didn't do a good job of blocking the ball. After that they score 3 runs on 1 hit and 4 walks. Then down 4-3 in the bottom of the 8th and you bring in Cruz which was dumb and he gave up a run and we lose 5-3. We were 0-9 with runners in scoring position . Our main problem is that our pitchers walk way to many batters and our batters strikeout way to much. Tonight our pitchers walked 5 and 3 of them scored. Our batters struck out 13 times The Reds have several "main" problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how the wind is today, but I hope it's blowing in... And why the hell would the Cubs schedule a day game after a night game like that?

The Friday at 120 has always been set in stone. Depending on TV and other things occasionally a Saturday night game but most weekends are always during the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like I listened to 20 hours of pregame "hype" about this match-up. Of course it was biased due to my proximity to Chitown. Lots of wind just got taken out of the Cubbies' sails today.

IU Scott Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) Tonight no Fraley, Benson or Freidl. Instead we see Senzel,Newman and Fairchild.

I'm as diehard as they come and most of my friends are the same but we all know the Braves are a different animal. The talking heads some of the radio networks (Score) employ now became Cubs fans around 2008....haha. Try not to get swept and get to the softest stretch of the schedule of the year.
