8/24 Cubs (Mills) vs Reds (Harvey): 1:20 PM on NBC Sports Chicago

[Banedon]

With as particular as people get about game thread titles around here, I'm surprised no one has called out Brandon for listing yesterday and today as being AT Reds

 

Copy/pasting previous titles bites me in the ass.

I just figured the first one was a mistake and today was like Wade Boggs eating chicken again because he was 5/5 yesterday.

[UMFan83]

Mine was last 7 days from BR.

 

Yeah...well...my small sample size is clearly far more meaningful than your small sample size!

 

I dunno...he's not good...I just feel like he has a chance to do positive things on a semi-regular basis this year, where I didn't feel like that in previous years.

 

The only thing hes really done positive over the last 30 games is timely clutch hits, which is great he seems to be better at that than others even though its really hard to prove clutch is a thing.

 

But since you said positive on a semi-regular basis this year, here is his OPS by month:

 

April - .734

May - .705

June - .873

July - .660

August - .644

 

If you simply remove the month of June, he has a .680 OPS the rest of the season, which is somewhere in between his 2016 and 2017 numbers. June is awesome and it shows that there is still potentially a better hitter in there, but he really hasn't done much of anything outside of that month.

Heyward is going to make a modest/incremental improvement for all 8 years of his deal, so get ready for those last 2 seasons. He'll nearly be an all star!

I don't know who this makes less sense for, the Brewers or the Reds

[Sammy Sofa]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

They probably want Gio Gonzalez more any way.

How are the Cubs -185 today? I know its the Reds but I thought it would be close to even money.

[jersey cubs fan]

nobody is putting money on the reds these days?

Well, the Reds should've traded him when they had the chance back in July. They also should have sold high on Scooter Gennett.

Damn. I was hoping for a garbage starter game on both sides. So we went from the possibility of no Hamilton and Harvey to both playing.

 

The day the Cubs were fucked

If we keep winning you're gonna keep pretending we're on the road and that's just the way it is.

We finally get a picture with KB not wearing a sponsor's apparel, and Rizzo ruins the picture by wearing one of his! smh :banghead:

[Sammy Sofa]

Ohhhhhh, NOW I get it; some people just need time to mourn a hairline.

It's annoying as hell that Bryant is just chilling in the clubhouse getting in the way of the 25 guys who are trying to win today. He should be out in Arizona rehabbing.

[Derwood]

They let random pitcher guy do players weekend stuff too?

 

Theo: "We're calling up a rando to pitch on players weekend"

 

Cubs equipment guy: "I'll put a Y on the end of his name"

 

Coomer constantly calls Pedro Strop "Strop-y" during radio broadcasts and it drives me up the wall

He does it cuz Maddon does it.

pretty sure everyone on the team calls him stropy... at least non-spanish speakers.
