  1. On the men' side at Wimbeldon, two Americans in the quarter-finals, best result for Americans men in quite some time. There's a chance one - Fritz - could make it to the semi-finals.
  2. Stupid? Sure. However, the silver lining is he may no longer be an option out of the bullpen, ultimately turning out to be a good thing.
  3. We knew the obligatory Hendricks start loss was coming, just thought the Cubs might make it competitive against a terrible Angels team. There's still a pretty good chance a series win which is a good thing.
  4. Maybe add Lopez and Miller to that list, or, just keep Neris away from any high leverage situations.
  5. Adding a run here and there, expanding on the lead, WTF is going on?
  6. Swanson may be currently worthless at the plate but, there's no doubt he's picked it up with glove. Looking every bit the Gold Glove fielder of late.
  7. Tiafoe started strong, broke Alcaraz in the first set, looks like Alcaraz is back on his game though, easily taking the second set 6-2. Now, Tiafoe is up a break in the third, if he holds and takes the third set, this could get interesting.
  8. Bold prediction - Steele gets his first win today.
  9. When Little has control he's almost un-hittable, if he could consistently throw strikes that could solve the closer problem.
  10. 2024-2025 Illini playing some pickup ball - in addition to Boswell, believe that's Jakucionis dicing and dishing
  11. I don't blame Steele for being frustrated, Morel played a GB into a single, and, despite Hoerner throwing late, Morel made sure to get out the runner' path allowing him to run by.
  12. I'd bench Morel after that joke of an attempt to play 3rd, he serves no propose anywhere, a total net negative.
  13. Him swinging through extraordinarily hit-able pitches is getting really tiresome, something has got to change.
  14. The Brewers caught lightning in a bottle with Rea and Megill why can't the Cubs do so with Nittoli?
  15. It's not completely terrible, he can shoot a little, unlike Terry and Phillips.
  16. Forgot about him, most definitely belongs on the above list.
  17. Don't know about Davis' contact profile however, picking between him and what is known in Canario, I'd go with the unknown in Davis.
  18. Agree, this team needs something, but, a whiff-prone, low-contact Canario is not that something.
  19. It's an overall weak draft, no doubt, I have confidence the Bulls will still find the wrong, worst possible player to draft. I'm going with long, athletic and cannot shoot - Terry, Phillips and Williams - all fit, the same player.
  20. The Cubs are for horsefeathers, don't get me wrong, but, I don't know what you can do when balls several inches from the strike zone are being called for strikes.
  21. Umpire once again completely whiffing on a strike call, sooooo ready for them to removed from the calling balls and strikes equation.
  22. Wisdom adds nothing, well, besides a lack of contact and K's, to the lineup. I agree Quintana is the type of LHP Busch should be facing.
  23. Why not go with more with Little and Hodges? They, unlike, Neris and Leiter, have swing and miss stuff, I'll take my chances with the wildness.
  24. Cubs hit 96+ mph GB's for outs, opposition hits 75 mph fly balls for hits. Rinse, repeat, every horsefeathers game.
