Not a great start for the Cubs

[Just Some Guy]

Day-um, the Padres look good.

Petco is absolutely rocking. If the Padres advance, feels crucial on the road against them to get off to early leads. Don't let that crowd get rocking.

The Peacock picture on my TV is a little choppy.

It’s fine on my iPad.

it’s only like that on the game, not on the ads

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

San Diego does seem fired up, but how sweet is it to watch PCA leap at the wall, in vain, TWICE in the first inning of a playoff game? For a second, I thought he caught the first one. Had to notice the celebrating bullpen to know it was a homer.

I watched the Philly/Braves game this afternoon and there were lot of empty seats in Atlanta.  The Braves took the lead with a 3 run HR in the bottom of the 8th.

Peacock looked bad for the White Sox/Astros game.  Regular NBC was fuzzy at times during the NY/Res Sox game.

I do feel bad for the teams that get stuck with the short end of the stick with the earliest start time. Even for the playoffs it's tough to sell out a 2pm local start on a Tuesday on two days notice.

My picture was better when it came back for the second inning. 

I get Peacock through Spectrum and I’ve had issues with it before.

I had no problems with the White Sox game.

While I can't cheer for the Cubs to win I can cheer for the Padres to lose.

It doesn't appear that Bregman can see at all at the plate

Fair enough.

He did hit 2 HR in the game in Tampa but this is his first night game since he got hit.

[Frisbee Slider]

3 HR allowed by Boyd, all on change ups.

[HarveysWBs]

Imagine getting destroyed 9-0 against your most hated rivals. And a couple of in-state guys (Rice and Schlittler) doing it to you. That has to suck.

[RobertCrawley]

Sad Greg is the best Greg.

[owbc]

I’m enjoying the beat down with Craig squirming in the dugout. The Cubs’ pitching does not belong in the postseason, I don’t care how good the Padres look against it. 

[liveforoctober]

Greg can you at least make Miller throw twice for us?

This is a solid point. Brewers offense looked pretty good against the Cubs pitching last year and then had a rough transition to the Dodgers pitching.

Im just rooting for a 3 game series with all going 12+ innings. Not a great start so far.

[Underachiever]

Cubs are going to screw the Brewers by laying down for SD

[RobertCrawley]

I want the Cubs to lose all the time. I don't care how, when, or where.

[Just Some Guy]

If you need a reason to keep watching, the Cubs are being no-hit into the 7th.  

[Team Canada]

King is rolling and the BP looms - they're in serious jeopardy of getting no hit.
