Undefeated this month

Good win, hope Tucker is okay, he’s putting together some good at bats
If it’s truly precautionary wouldn’t mind a 10-day IL stint and get Caissie or Mo some ABs. Have to get Tucker ready for October at the very least
Yay!
Whew, I say WHEW lad
Now *THAT’S* how you use a closer
Never in doubt. Let’s keep taking care of business no matter what other teams are doing.
You know, winning is like so much better than like, not winning
Finally Imanaga gets back in the win column.
Aaaand exhale…
I’d like to see Clark do a zig zag or a little dance half way through his run. Something he can show off the W some more.
Elite defensive effort tonight.
Shota wasn’t at his best but battling to get through 6 was huge.
Great
#[W]
GO GET THE FUCKING SWEEP TOMORROW
LXXX!!
I miss when they’d broadcast the sound of the crowd singing.
There’s some people here that really need to watch other closers in the league. Even the dominant ones. High wire acts are an occupational hazard with the role.
Perfect time to get hot, boys. Let’s roll!
What happened with Tucker?
Congrats to everyone who survived that broadcast. For those who didn’t, we’ll plow forward in your honor.
Some people are so desperate for the “Palencia is not a closer” narrative to be true that you can almost feel them rooting against him in save situations.
Hard hit single and a weak infield hit. Got the job done. Again.
is it possible for a cardiologist to sponsor Palencia’s save attempts?
Number 80!
Thanks, Palencia. I needed that tonight.
Get in!!!!!
Great game, need tucker to be okay
Too much Shota slander in the GDT 🙁
Happy about the W.
But I would just liketo express how much I hated the Yeti yard and normalizing turning the broadcast into a fucking commercial within itself.
All these “revenue streams” are never put back into the team. Tom can go get fucked by a Yeti.

A great birthday gift for Shota!!!
“Palencia is not a closer” said multiple GDT scouts. He then went on to record yet another save.
80 wins
3rd best record in MLB
10 clear in the WC
23 to play

Undefeated in September, undefeated with Cliff Floyd in the booth!
It’s not always the most aesthetic baseball, but the Cubs are back to 21 games over .500 and have the third best record in MLB.
