I wonder if Lake can get his Contact % below 50.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

How do we respond after our first 3 game winning streak in 10 calendar months, and our first winning series of the year? We go on to lose 7 of our next 8 (probably)

 

I'm wondering if Epstein and Hoyer's processes were better suited for the take-and-rake, high-offense era.

 

Our OPS+ is dead last in the league at 76.

Hey guys I don't think Russell is very good anymore.

I would rather have 32 of these than watch James Russell ever again:

You know honestly I had a root canal on Wednesday and it wasn't that bad. Definitely wasn't as bad as watching Russell

What would it take for this team to surpass 2012 and lose 102+ games?

 

It trading Samardzija and Hammel enough, or do we need more?

This team is winning at a clip far less than the 2012 team did, so I doubt it would take even that much.

139-221 (.386)

[DiamondMind]

we are so bad

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Wait, I think that was our 10,000th loss.

[Andy]

Wait, I think that was our 10,000th loss.

It was. We got our 10,000th win 6 years ago, so we're still doing well there.

Thank Jesus for pre-1950s Cubs baseball.

It feels as bad as it looks.

Castro's OPS is up to .773.

Once Samardzija and Hammel are traded, this team may be 2003 Detroit Tigers bad.

Maybe we'll get to draft Verlander as a result.
