The Twins fans don’t even want to win. They want the Indians to get 2nd so they can avoid the Yankees again.

That Meijer "Thank you" commercial is my most disliked commercial this year.

 

I am so sick of having to see/hear it every commercial break.

Feels like the Cubs are going into another hitting funk. Thought they were snapping out of it earlier in the week.

 

Since Sept 3rd they’ve averaged 3.4 runs per game and that includes a game where they scored 12. During that 16 game span their team batting line is .224/.311/.335/.647

[itisallpartoftheplan]

That’s the furthest Bryant can hit it now.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

One to tie it was a little much, two runs is definitely out of reach.

[Derwood]

Ross' bullpen moves have been kinda not great tonight

Launch Angle Era done passed this team by. The dongs are gone.

Just for fun, I broke the Cubs offense down in 5 game increments. One of the increments is 6 games because the Cubs have played 51 before tonight and because one of the 5 game stretches was G1 of a doubleheader so I had to add the 6th game.

Just checking in to make sure I'm not missing a no-hitter

[Irrelevant Dude]

That’s the furthest Bryant can hit it now.

He should go into arbitration with some nice leverage this year.

seriously, wtf do you make of this season? .600 OPS 1 season from FA. Yes there are injury issues and there are a lot of weird results from this pandemic season, but geez. At this point he is angling him self for a 1-2 year prove it contract when he becomes a FA.

Players don't peak anymore, they just decline.

[17 Seconds]

KB's peak (which is a pretty awesome peak):

 

 

he gave us nearly 30 war (for cheap) and was the league mvp the season we won a world series. if this is the end of KB being great, i'm at peace with it.

 

HAVING SAID THAT, it wouldn't really surprise me if he rebounds and has some more 4-5 win seasons

[UMFan83]

I will say though it’s a bizarre year and Bryant isn’t the only star putting up completely anemic numbers.

 

Here are some of the guys in Bryant’s neighborhood with regards to wRC+:

 

Carpenter - 78

G. Sanchez - 78

Arenado - 78

Ohtani- 78

Altuve - 70

Bryant - 69

Baez - 60

[Derwood]

Cubs have been out scored 8-2 in the series but are 1-1
