He’s probably out

jk

[edfunderburk]

Gausman looks like a photo negative of himself from last week’s start against Milwaukee. 

Who did the Cubs trade away to acquire Gausman?

[trwi7]

Does his heel ever come off? Kinda hard to tell so they'll probably overturn it.

Golly, on Marquee the Cubs are talking about 2 guys both coming back from their second Tommy John (Steele, Shelby Miller) as potential bullpen additions. That’s how you know they’re scared about their bullpen 

To be fair that’s probably their immediate closer and setup man given their options 

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Tough to overturn that.

And a good time to complain about replay making these kinds of plays challengeable. 

[HarryDoyle]

Emotional challenge.

[trwi7]

Bizarre challenge because the guy on the phone talking to Counsell was kinda waving his hand like maybe/maybe not.

I was thinking desperate

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

That's just a silly challenge by the Cubs. Now you don't have one if your strong offense gets you back in it. And for what? To save 90 feet in a 6-run game? Oof.

Brett Bateman a CFer who’s in the majors for Toronto already plus someone else 

[yfinn6]

Another bad challenge. Sucks. I remember this feeling about 9 days ago. 

[jason21nl]

Not sure a guy could be hotter.  Holy balls

Counsell used a 1,3,5 system when he was here. 1 for no challenge, 3 for iffy, and 5 for sure thing. Don't know why he challenged a 3 other than desperation

[Yaz]

JACK JACK EN FUEGO!

[HarryDoyle]

LMAO the Brewers are just doing the Scrubs dirty without lube these past three nights.

[folly412]

Now he's working on that stolen base count, chasing 20.

They’re facing Henderson and they already spotted us 7 runs. They’re cooked anyway. 

[BCF]

Gausman is already at 79 pitches through 3 

[Bulldogboy]

Chourio has completely changed his approach last two weeks and swinging in the zone. Man exciting to see.

[jason21nl]

I’m actually sick of seeing Counsell.  His stressing out is annoying

[long ball]

They talked about this on the radio call just now. I have no recollection of this from his time here.

They pitched their long man last night in Civale so he’s gotta suck it up. Probably goes out for the 4th too

Chourio is going to be stealing bases this month like Giannis would be assist hunting in third 4th quarters when he had 7 assists and a triple double on the table. 

[HarryDoyle]

I say just no show the Phillies series in a couple weeks and settle for the #2 seed.

[jason21nl]

Just keep high fast balls up and in to PCA
