except the Cubs gave up an opportunity to take the lead.

am i wrong when i say neither of these bullpens are that good

Craig Edwards

6:09

i think they are both good, but it is pretty volatile. Cubs don't have Uehara or Rondon or a good version of Wilson. That is going to compromise anyone.

Dusty is going to get a lot of grief if the Nats don't hold on here no matter what happens.

unless harper spends his whole career in DC, i don't see any nats player surpassing zimmerman in terms of legacy on the team for a long long time

Craig Edwards

6:10

it's a pretty young franchise, and a championship narrative can really shape things so a lot depends on if they win one and who gets them there.

That's the thing, if u trust Q enough to let him hit, u ley him work through the error.

What's the least mild curse that Scherzer will use if Dusty tries to pull him before the end of the game, now?

Craig Edwards

6:11

Pun Intended.

Jucky Bacobson

I like Madson + Doolittle just fine.

Wade Davis is good. Edwards is good. The rest you don't want to have to rely on in a tight spot.

Bullpenning

6:12

Davis is about as good as it gets as a closer and even though he hung one to Harper Edwards Jr. is very good. The Cubs pen is better than most.

Jucky Bacobson

6:12

Sam, what is your timeline? Harper is a better player already. If Strasburg stays he's a legend.

Michael A Taylor is good at baseball

Do you pull Scherzer before he gives up a hit?

Craig Edwards

6:14

I don't think you let that decision guide you, but I doubt you pull him here.

i don't think Dusty would pull a pitcher while he is throwing a no hitter, whether or not he should

Craig Edwards

6:15

he's got to give up a hit soon, though, right?

Solis up in the pen

to face Zobrist?

Scherzer wants nothing to do with Riz

Craig Edwards

6:17

needed that DP.

6:18

Scherzer now up 3rd. should probably pull him.

I joined late and had to look for what HAM meant... I was assuming it was Kanye's HAM

Just got home from work and my girlfriend is furious with Maddon pulling Q. I didn't see any of it - was it warranted?

Craig Edwards

6:20

not a consensus, but should have pinch hit for him innings earlier or probably let him keep pitching. Zimmerman v Strop was a better matchup notwithstanding the result.

Bullpenning

6:20

Ummm the Cubs have 4 errors?

Craig Edwards

6:20

yes

SignedEpsteinsMother

6:20

nevermind

Rosin Bag

6:21

Scherzer's gonna bat unless there's a runner at 3rd with one out

Crasner's Crypt

6:21

Since Scherzer is now past Rizzo, you gotta figure he'll be good through the 7th, even at 90 pitches, right? In other words, no PH for him this inning.

Craig Edwards

6:21

depends on how much you think hamstring is affecting him. he's escaped some potential damage
.

SignedEpsteinsMother

6:22

how many pitches is MS at?

Craig Edwards

6:23

Matt

6:23

Is this hamstring talk speculative, or has it been visible through the start?

Craig Edwards

6:24

mostly speculative, but Scherzer isn't vintage Scherzer with the control and the velo seems slightly off at times.

Addison Russell is good
