MLB: ***Official 2018 Chicago Cubs Season Thread***

[ISUTex]

We went from talking about winning multiple world series with this young core in 2016 to now just being thankful we were able to win one with Joe at the helm.

I know, funny right? This core has been in the NLCS three straight years and already have one world series. Wouldn't be shocked if they're in the NLCS again this fall. Really not even worried about them winning the Central.

Will the NL Central be the most competitive division in baseball? Currently it is the only division with 4 of 5 teams at .500 or better.

I dont think Pittsburgh will be able to sustain a winning pace.

I would not be surprised if the NL Central has both WC teams though.

Weather forecast in Denver doesn't sound too promising for tonight.

Only if the Cubs don't fulfill their potential.

Rain today and snow tomorrow?
Come on, Denver.

I'm blaming it on you guys. Wherever you guys go bad weather is happening.

Happ is becoming Merrill.

Swing away, Ian, swing away.

I'm gonna sit this one out.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

NOLAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ISUAlum2002]

This isn't fun.

 

[CycloneErik]

First to 15 tonight.
Since we scored early, we're gonna make a run at it.

D.J. would’ve been great in Left Field. I’d take Baez over Lemahiu any day, but the fact that we traded he and Colvin for trash boy Ian Stewart is kind of crappy.

Especially since we don’t have a lead off hitter

Watching stream of Rockies broadcast. They had a stat that in last 3 years only 3 teams in National league have .500 or better record vs Cubs. Those teams, Colorado, Dodgers and the Padres.

Cubs have had some horrible west coast road trips.

For a team that NEVER steals, it should be benchable offense to get picked off.
