8/12 Cubs (Hendricks) @ Indians (Carrasco) 5:00 Marquee

[Gilby]

Man replay is so wildly inconsistent. That probably was a hit, but that's not how replay has previously been applied with "probably's"

[We Got The Whole 9]

Best contact on the year by KB. That was a rocket.

Huge hit by Bote!

He got 5 strikes to play with instead of 3 that AB, it was massive to take advantage of it.

Bryant has looked like complete horsefeathers outside of taking some walks all year. He’s not even making hard contact.

lol - good call. :D

I’m ready for the Dan Winkler, throw high cutters experiment to end.

[Regular Show]

Not a huge priority, but I think we need to cut Steven Souza Jr. and Almora. We could add better backup OF/bench bats at the trade deadline for minor prospects. I hate Almora and I'm not impressed with Souza. Hopefully, we have a little bit of money to add some better bats and create a deeper roster.

 

Zobrist would be perfect for this team with the DH available now...

[Cubswin11]

This Spaz is balking every pitch to Bote

Jason Kipnis: Theo's best signing?

[Derwood]

Lol at this strike zone. Ump is flipping a coin back there

Hey Ward has kinda been good the last few games

Hey Ward has kinda been good the last few games

I think every year outside of 2016 he’s had a really good ~60 game stretch. Hopefully he’s finding that groove now.

We're horsefeathering 12-3

[Brian]

25% of the way through the schedule with a .800 winning percentage seems good

[TMan92]

What’s our magic number?

Pillar and Workman package from the Red Sox I’ve mentioned. Won’t cost much but covers some holes. Brian Anderson from the Marlins I’d give up real things for if he’s available. Haven’t really dug too deep in to a ton of targets since there’s still ~20 games to the deadline and there’s bound to be some good teams now be sellers because they struggle or bad teams rally and not sell.

Teams with less than 6 losses this year:

 

Cubs (15 games played) - 3

Cardinals (5 games played) - 3

Marlins (12 games played) - 4

What Jeffress has done thus far has felt way too smoke-and-mirrors-y for my comfort level. That said, his velo had been 91-93, but tonight it jumped to be more 93-95. If he can get it back up one more tick, and be more 94-96, I'll be less skeptical of him if the results stay good.

2016 Cubs only started 11-4.
