I’ve never seen a game, let alone a playoff game, cancelled with that type of forecast. Probably cover for a potential Covid case. Otherwise it makes no sense. Yep they’re saying it’s rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiHawks10 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) MLB.com and the Cubs.com have no mention of the game being postponed... weird. Edited October 1, 2020 by ChiHawks10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, the radar isn't so bad that straight up cancelling makes sense. Hmmm... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maloney.adam Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 The lineup is still not out. Does RR know they have a game in like 2 hours! The holdup must be Eloy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vilehoopster Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 1 hour ago, Bad Hombre said: Yolmer 0-11 lifetime against Fiers. I'm not exaggerating. I would much rather have Yolmer at DH than Encarnacion. I am so sick of watching him come up to bat as his .165 batting average continues to spiral downward. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I'm somewhat optimistic about the game. Offense needs to get going right away and score a few runs. Dunning may be keyed up and a bit wild to start. I like the bullpen's chances, provided RR doesn't make bad decisions about who and when. A win today is huge for this team. Making it to the ALDS with the lack of starting pitching and a couple glaring holes on offense bodes quite well for the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KipWellsFan Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) We seem pretty evenly matched with Oakland. So we have to play sound baseball today. I love Nicky Two Strikes, but he made at least 4 mistakes yesterday. I don't expect that from him today. But no unforced errors is required today. No extra outs and have to take every base available to us! Edited October 1, 2020 by KipWellsFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Nicky needs to work on fielding grounders at the cut of the grass. It is consistently a problem for him. He's a baby, though, he'll get better.
