2 guys who were injured most of the year. It's their own fault they aren't here any more. Couldn't rely on them.

I believe you’ve said this before and are likely in the minority with such a feeling.

Who does he know to still have a job?

What is this logic horseshit? I WANT HYSTERICS DAMN IT!!! HYSTERICS!!!!!!!!

And a bunch of pinch hitters.

Never change @hi8is . Never change.

The Cubs just have to wait until Venable stupidly chooses to pitch to MVPCA again and it’s game ova.

Meh, they aren't perfect. Looks like Accuweather is way off.

Zach zaidman tweeted a picture of it raining at wrigley at 9:55 and they put the tarp on the field at 9:49.

I guess the radar is wrong.

According to radar, the very very front of the precipitation is about to hit Lincoln Park.

Doesn't look like it according to the radar. Maybe another 5-10 minutes. Storm is not moving super fast.

It rained within 5 minutes of them putting the tarp on the field. People are being ridiculous.

I blame the home plate ump. It's payback for Romo ABS challenging 5 times and getting 4 right !

Is it raining yet? At this point could have finished the game.

I don’t seriously think Will should play under protest or choke out Counsel. Comedy used to illustrate a point.

The grounds crew is responsible for reporting weather and advising the umpires. it’s not fucking raining…I’m not sure how much more proof you need this was shenanigans.

Also he's above replacement level right now with 0.7 bWAR and 0.9 fWAR which could have been even more had he played since opening day. More power would really just be a bonus to what seems like a solid rookie campaign.

Assume we see Webb in the 9th with bottom of the order

Groundskeeper advises the umpires. This is totally on the Cubs

You know that the umpires get reports from the CUBS grounds crew captain, who could EASILY tell the umpires that rain is minutes away - thus forcing them to call for a delay, right? It does suck. It most likely IS THE CUBS doing it… And f*** THEM!

Is an hour delay enough time to get over to the Rate for a few rounds of Trajekt vs. the Cubs pen guys?

Should have at least played until there was rain or lightning at this point. Otherwise you might as well have moved up the game an hour
