insanity...i'd never opt for anything over len and jd

Coomer does a very bad job of actually tell you what happens before giving you his opinion on what happened

 

just happened now, it took him too long to tell us the run scored during that double play.

rip arrieta

i listen for pat hughes

 

KB being evaluated for a rolled right ankle.

[UMFan83]

Good thing we've still got depth?

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Doesn't sound too serious for Kris.

[BigSlick]

Bah

 

The baseball gods really hate Heyward for some reason. Perhaps it is punishment for him leaving the Best Fans in Baseball lol

[Schwarber Fan]

Imagine if Heyward and Russell haven't been getting robbed all year...

[Flames24Rulz]

 

Yeah, he's just not good.

 

it's hilarious because we are so spoiled on the TV side and the radio PBP side...if there was just somebody competent in the radio color seat we'd have it insanely good.

 

I think he's a solid color guy.

 

At what exactly?

[Thusly Boned]

I'm totally with you. Coomer is not good, and while Pat is, I think he's a little overrated by some. Len and J.D. >>> Pat and Ron.

Coloring books mostly

I think we can handle the Braves just fine this weekend with Soler/Szczur/La Stella/Baez handling LF/3B if Bryant needs a few days off.

Or Rizzo.

I enjoy his perspective and analysis. I'm not going to hold his awful play by play against his competency as an overall color guy. That's on the Cubs radio network for not having an update guy that can be competent at it.

yes but think about our run differential championship

They have Mark Grote sitting right there, who can't possibly be worse. I have to think Coomer wants to do it. For some reason.

End all the streaks today

[UMFan83]

Records Jake could be going for tonight if the game is played:

 

-Any sort of scoreless outing will allow Jake to break Bob Gibson's record for lowest ERA over a 20 start span

Gave up an earned run

 

-If Jake pitches 5 2/3 straight scoreless innings to start the game he will break the record for most consecutive scoreless innings at home in the modern era (since 1900). Current record is 54 scoreless innings.

Only went 4 2/3 scoreless

 

-If Jake has a quality start tonight, it will put him 1 away from Gibson's record for most consecutive quality starts at 26

Failed to have a quality start

 

-If Jake starts and the Cubs win tonight, it will break the record for most consecutive team wins in games started by a pitcher (currently 17)

Looking good at this point

Is it weird that I'm more concerned with our run differential than our record?

Good job Grimm. It'll be nice to have the Grimm Reaper back

i just don't get as happy as i used to with just any win... i need a 3+ run win to feel as good as I'd normally feel with just a win. this team is going to win a ton of games. i want them to regularly obliterate teams.
