[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 21-3 (.875) when they score 5 runs or more.... 7-8 (.467) when they don't

CUBS are 21-3 (.875) when they hit at least 1 HR.... 7-8 (.467) when they don't

hey goony finally got to see (and make fun of) one of julie dicaro's hot sports takes

[imb]

man mlb.tv just showed the famous glenallen hill dong, the most majestic dong perhaps ever struck, and all i could think of was what a horsefeathering dump wrigley used to be.

[Sammy Sofa]

 

kicked in the nuts, wind knocked out of you, sometimes a sprained knee looks really bad

 

stubbed toe

 

literally like only a few injuries

 

Fixed

It would be 6-0 if they had just taken Arrieta out for a pinch runner. #-o

I love how this comes across as genuinely upset.

That was a mandingo

Tribune didn't give two shits

I really hope Heyward doesn't have 2 injuries and the Cubs only report the less severe one again.

 

"Word from the Cubs is Heyward has been diagnosed with a scratch on his left pinky finger"

I'm genuinely impressed you aren't freaking out about how bad of a baserunning play that was.

[David]

 

[expletive] that. Dude has been a beast on defense and that [expletive] has helped make us awesome.

 

that includes his contribution on defense. and on the bases.

 

Be patient with me as I learn. So his fielding/baserunning is in the plus but his offense has been so bad that it still adds to a negative, or his defense/baserunning is also negative?

 

his overall contribution has been 0.4 wins so far. that's a pace of under 2 wins (which would be a below average regular). that includes what he has contributed on defense, offense, and on the bases in the form of runs. he has been worth negative runs on offense. his defense, while very good, isn't enough to make him an above average player this year when he has been a .281 wOBA hitter (or 71 wRC+...100 is average).

 

in fact, it's very impressive that he manages to even sniff "average regular" status with how putrid he has been offensively.

If you think that is bad, read about what condition Wrigley was in during the last years of the Wrigley ownership in the early 80s

Lol at the Cubs chasing Peavy in the 2nd inning

 

This game is going a long way to make the last series a distant memory

Nah, tonight has been good.

[BigbadB]

So if la Stella gets to second and then runs back to first, how is it scored? Single or double?

Gotcha. I keep thinking that with the current team and the offensive guys we have, as long as he was a gold glover he would be part of the success even if he hit like me.

jorge has looked encouraging lately

We should have gone up up down down left right left right b a select start before our NL west games since everyone is dying.

[Ski]

Jorge showing better bat control is the best development we could have hoped for.

[MidoreX]

 

Im putting my money on oblique strain... It looks like he tries to hold up his arm to show that he caught it and then starts wincing and twitching and kind of grabs for his side. Hope he heals soon, that catch was RIDICULOUS.

That's what got the Jorge is handsome thread started the first time. Then he went shitty again.

[UMFan83]

The AP has a report that Heyward has an apparent hip injury. I don't think this is based on anything but speculation but I would think a hip injury wouldn't be too bad right? Like either it's sore/bruised and he's out a wake or two or he's the next Bo Jackson.
