Jay Kirk Baseball Thread since 2017: The 2021 season, Dodgers Repeat?

I had Cubs winning 92 if I remember right.

Yeah I am not sure when he is coming back either. 

 

Hes slated to pitch another game for Iowa tonight I believe, could be back next week.

 

I am visiting family in San Antonio, who have baseball team, the San Antonio Missions, who are a triple A affiliate of the Brewers. Coincidentally, the Iowa Cubs played against them last Tues-Thursday. I was going to try to make the Thursday game but didn’t get back in town on time. Would have been neat to see the Cubs up and comers, but maybe next time. 

[Jay Kirk 3,325]

Well guys gonna run over to see my Dad , be back later great talking baseball. Looking forward to the Colts and Pacers as well.

Take care brother, Colts look solid on paper.

Cubs are up 2-0 again tonight in the 4th. Astros up 6-0 over the Cards in the 3rd. We will see if these scores hold up. If so the Cubs and Cards will once again be tied for 1st place in the NL Central at 56-48 with 58 games left.

 Lester did a great job but once again our bullpen is wettin the bed. Games tied 2-2 bottom of the 8th.

Yeah our bullpen blowing games is getting old. It is 2-2 in the 10th now. Cubs are up.

[2006Coltsbestever 21,330]

Almora Jr just smoked one way out, 3-2 Cubs lead.

[2006Coltsbestever 21,330]

Yelich just homered off Kimbrel, unfreakin believable.

[HOZER 3,698]

UN FREAKING BELIEVABLE 

 

best closer in baseball that Kimbrell fella......right.

All I can do is laugh at this point. Hiura homers to win the game, what a joke  . Our bullpen sucks.

I agree brother. I’m going to have to start tuning out the games while on vacation, putting me in a pretty bad mood lately. Barf. Maybe someday we’ll also get some batters going?!?

We can't close games out on the road for some reason. If we had a 3 run lead heading to the 8th, I would not trust our bullpen. This is a pretty bad loss, they all are at this point of the season. I was in a good mood until this crap happened.

Take a deep breath my friends , you cant win them all. Where would the fun be in it. Life goes on even if we lose .

I hear you brother, it is the way we are losing that bothers me. We have had the lead 8 times heading to the 8th inning this season on the road where we have blown games. Just go 4-4 in those games and we are sitting pretty. All in all we are just 1 game behind the Cards and tied with the Brewers so still a ways to go. I do not trust our bullpen at all right now though.

[2006Coltsbestever 21,330]

We need to win today to avoid getting swept and allowing the Brewers to pass us.

[2006Coltsbestever 21,330]

Kyle with a grandslam! 4-0 Cubs, that was way out of here.

[2006Coltsbestever 21,330]

So far Houston up 1-0 over the Cards in the 2nd. Cubs start a huge 3 game series at St Louis on Tuesday, hopefully both teams enter that with the same record so nobody has the advantage. 

[2006Coltsbestever 21,330]

Kyle just hit another HR, this one a 3 run shot! 7-0 Cubs the sleeping giant is waking up now. Kyle going to work today. He is one strong dude . Astros now up 2-0 over the Cards in the 3rd. These games are fun to follow when the race is tight going into the last 2 months/last 55 games or so.

[2006Coltsbestever 21,330]

Caratini just hit a 3 run HR, Cubs now lead 10-3 in the 7th. Cards are down 5-0. We are about to be tied for 1st place heading into St Louis. If our bullpen blows a 10-3 lead, I will go to Eagle Creek put on a speedo and do a nestea plunge in disbelief  . 

[NFLfan 7,994]

The Mets reportedly trade for the Blue Jays pitcher Marcus Stroman. Is he a good pitcher?

Tuesday will be fun  . As long as we aren't up 2-0 heading to the 8th it should be good .

Cardinals v. Cubs this week in a very meaningful series for both teams.  Going to be fun!

Yeah it is pretty cool that both teams have the same record up to this point. This series will take us into August. I am hoping the Cubs can win at least 1 of these games since it is in St Louis so at worse they will only be 1 game behind after Thursday.

Lots of doom and gloom on the Colts forums, my word!  Never good to hear your starting quarterback is nursing an injury but you have to let things play out, like @PrincetonTigersays....”everything will be OK.”

 

Getting pumped for tonight’s Cubs/Cards game, hoping for a good one and not a blowout in either direction(ok that’s a lie, I’d be fine if the Cubs blew them out,  but I doubt that will happen.) Darvish is pitching, hopefully the good Yu and not the bad Yu. Robel Garcia leading off with Heyward batting second, I like it!

 

Looks like the Cubs  made some moves. Strop to the 10 day IL with neck tightness (not happy if he’s hurt but won’t miss him)and they signed RHP Phelps from the Blue Jays. Don’t know Much about him other than he has an injury history. Are there any more trades left before the deadline???

Yeah some of the posts about Luck on here were really mind boggling. Like calling him soft, a liar, and stupid. That is really uncalled for. He has given us 4 seasons so far where he has been very good to great. You would think after last season, people would learn to have patience and let things play out. Some just do not appreciate Luck and never will but we win a SB they will be the 1st in line to jump around and celebrate. 

 

Regarding the game tonight, so far 0-0 through 2 innings. I would love for the Cubs to win game 1. That would put all the pressure on the Cards being at home to win the last 2.

Phelps is a ND grad and was a starter with the Yankees

Yeah these games are usually 1 run games between these 2 teams as you know. Kyle had bases loaded in the 6th but did not come through. Cubs are in trouble now. Both teams pitching has been solid. Yu has only given up 2 runs, I will take that anyday.

Yes so would I , both starters did a nice job

2-1 Cards to the 8th. Cubs need to make something happen.
