He missed that pitch. Badly.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Twice this year the CUBS and their opponent have only drawn 1 BB between them, this would be the first time neither team drew a BB.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

You have to think somewhere out there Ripken opened a bottle to celebrate.

2.66/2.59/2.71 ERA/FIP/xFIP

 

[expletive] the All-Star team; Jake's too good for it

[Little Slide Rooter]

Now can we all go into the break a little less...Cubs faney?

[DiamondMind]

God our schedule after the break is EASY until Pitt/SF. Time to take a break and then come back and stomp on bad teams

When a team only scores 1 to 3 runs against most all pitchers, it's far too difficult to look ahead and project wins or dominance.

Were you the one hoping yesterday that this game would get rained out?

[DiamondMind]

We play some of the worst teams in baseball in Colorado Philly and Milwaukee. 3 runs should be plenty. Do I want more? Sure. But they're still worse teams than us by quite a bit. Have some faith. Even I think we should crush our next 2-3 weeks. It does come to an abrupt end with back-to-back series with Pitt/SF though.

 

Meh. We'll be ok. Looking forward to the Derby this year too. Gonna enjoy this break. Most stressful first half to a season in seven years.

Brewers are actually a horrible matchup. They can score runs. Hopefully they have sold some pieces by then.

[PrimeTime]

I just noticed Arrieta only makes 500K this year...Wow, what a [expletive] bargain lol

[DiamondMind]

By that logic any team that can score runs is a horrible matchup. No mention of their [expletive] pitching and [expletive] defense?

Yes, correct.

 

And the point this whole time is it doesn't matter what other teams pitching is ranked. We don't hit any of them. So if a team can score four runs consistently against us the trend is that we will lose.
