8/14/18 Cubs(Quintana) vs Brewers(Chacin) 1:20PM NBCS Chicago

Just pointing to both the record and them repeatedly battling back to win way too many games as if the former somehow dismisses or validates latter is cheesy as horsefeathers. If it was another team then the usual suspects here would be pointing it out constantly as the reason they're actually a paper tiger.

They’ve been playing like a very bad team and covering it up with sequencing luck for almost a month.

 

I think this is wrong. I'm not sure, but David will have numbers to prove it.

 

Run differential for the last 23 or whatever games is -1 per game. They’ve been winning all the close ones and losing all the blowouts. That’s what lucky bad teams do.

 

Oh, I agree. I just figured David would have numbers to prove otherwise.

[Cubswin11]

Chacin’s stuff sucks today. Score some horsefeathering runs

Yeah I’m pretty sure I read that their expected WL in the second half is like 9-15

Dude loves shoveling out cumulative rankings and pretending like it's somehow guaranteeing which version of the 2018 Cubs is going to stagger across the finish line.

23 game run differential - somehow more important than 120 game run differential

literally didn't say one word about the overall team performance. only the offense.

 

the pitching has sucked.

Those HR totals for both are lower than what I'd have imagined.

lol turned it off. hopefully bote gets an at bat

[profisme]

Maybe, just maybe, stop throwing get-over curveballs in hitters' counts?

[Old Style]

horsefeathers that piece of horsefeathers.

[TMan92]

Hey. Stop throwing the curveball to Braun.

[David]

yep i still hate ryan braun as much as i've hated pretty much any baseball player

[JudasIscariotTheBird]

Um, two grand slams and we're back in this one everyone!

[Sammy Sofa]

Again, if it was another team having to constantly come from behind despite their season totals, that's what we'd be hearing about how they're not really as impressive as they seem. If it was another team that has had their RD just completely dive into the basement like the Cubs' has then that would the reason they're actually vulnerable once they hit the playoffs.

[Old Style]

Get this hunk of horsefeathers out of the game.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Time for the DL.

[bcl412]

We got a 2016 giants vibe going

[profisme]

I dislike watching Quintana pitch baseball games.

this would not be what i'd say once they hit the playoffs

 

come on now

 

because nothing actually matters once they hit the playoffs

[TMan92]

Time for the DL.

 

And take Lester with him.
