just win baby!



last year cubs started 25-6



let's make them start this year 6-6

[ChitownBucco]

speaking of 6-6



I looked back at all 3 playoff years '13-'15 and we started 6-6 in those years.



we also started 6-6 last year... so go figure



2015 bucs didn't stay over .500 until 23-22



2014 bucs didn't stay over .500 until 40-39 ( bucs were 23-29 at one point.



2013 had a 1-5 start, but got going well earlier, getting over .500 to stay at 9-8

The defense is killing us. We've got to get this defense under control asap. Every game we're hemorrhaging bases and extending innings.



Play a clean game for Taillon. Lets go!

Tallion clearly not as sharp in the 1st, but a great pitch to SO Russell to end inning with no damage.



Really hoping Jameson is the shut down guy we need. What a difference it would make for this team if he could be that guy.

Man Cervelli is hitting everything hard right now. Good sign after the injury last year

Tallion is REALLY good, even when he not near his best he's still really good. Matching Lester all the way.

Picked off or caught stealing 3 times...gave them a full inning of outs. That hurts

And in return Mercer boots an easy double play and rather than 2 outs and empty cases, there are two Nebraska in and no outs.



Man, I hate to give things away.

More terrible defense
