Why is it everything Boyd throws looks slow, slower and slowest while, comparable LHP's - Ian Seymour, Foster Griffin - I'm watching in playoffs. Appear to throw harder and have superior stuff to Boyd? Guns are registering about the same for all of them yet, Boyd looks like a soft ball pitcher.
-
I did raise the question of Boyd' health not being all there, yet, I can't see giving him a QO. He'll take it in a New York minute, I really do not want any part of him in a future Cubs' rotation. If Jed's prioritizing swing and miss then, re-upping Boyd is complete 180.

PTSD from the previous state of the rivalry, while it appears there's some truth to your statement I'm not going to come out and state it.
-
Regardless of the outcome I believe the rivalry has changed, maybe, should the Bears win, even flipped. The Bears have comparable or better coaching and quarterbacking, severely lacking in these areas is what fueled the Packers run.
-
Walker Buehler kind of puts a damper on this, who knows, he might be effective.
-
Apparently, with last night's loss, team infallible tied a record for post season consecutive road losses. Plus, holy horsefeathers, do I want to punch Contreras in the face. After Trump he may be one of the most punch asking/wanting, punch-able faces out there.
-
The Cubs have a recent run of terrible injury luck, unusually so. Might be taking chances on guys with extensive injury history that has come back to bite them. But that doesn't explain all the guys without injury histories dropping like flies as well.
-
Much more reasonable, think my haste is a result of the plethora of injuries and having to deal with them non-stop getting tiresome. It's a good thing I'm not calling the shots.
-
Yes. I think it's put up or shut up for Wiggins as well. Have to get something out of him be it in the bullpen or rotation.
-
Does anyone else think we might see a lot of runs in Brewers-Padres tonight? Although neither team has big numbers vs. the posted starters, I don't believe the starters are pitching all that well. Even the Cubs were starting to get to Pivetta, he only went 3.1, had he been allowed to go longer they very well may have scored more.
-
I don't believe this is unique to the Brewers, any team, if they found a pitching tell, would use it.
-
Nico's arm does not play at SS.
-
Does any think Boyd wasn't 100%? Not advocating for his return nevertheless, it's probably a legitimate question.
-
Well, they do have a bullpen that doesn't walk the world or give up gopher balls like their going out of style. Plus some of their top hitters actually putting the ball in play.
-
So, this is what's it's like to have some of your better players not continually piss down their legs?

Forgot about Lovie! You are very right. Easy to forget in the morass of coaching garbage between Lovie and Ben. -

As, I think it Soul, alluded to, the Bears have Ben Johnson and Co. and they don't suffer any injuries. Ben is also a big reason why I think Caleb' not going to regress, look at all those others who regressed after a breakout. Stroud, Daniels, the Bears have them beat on coaching front, by a wide margin. While I believe Caleb will not regress, it's, of course still possible, maybe, it's best to say the Bears have lessened the chances of regression with superior coaching. It's been a long, long, long time since the Bears had any semblance of coaching competency, easily 35+ years. Man, that's pathetic, couldn't even get it right by accident in 35+ years. -
My mind says perhaps, I should root for the White Sox, the hate won't let me. The hate, the hate.
-
That Coker dude isn't bad either, they've some decent TE's as well.
-
Me too, the stuff is there to be close to a TOR type, think it'll be less than Skubal. Watch, the horsefeathers Dodgers will sign both of them, using some kind of horsefeathered-up creative financing involving payments into 22nd century.
-
Josh Allen is great, sometimes though, he takes some unnecessary risks, that was a very poor decision and throw at the end of the game. Don't remember, maybe. down and distance required such a risk.
-
Took the words out of my mouth, it's Paul Skenes and all. Still, hard pass.

I don't know why anybody puts stock in that narrative. Too much league wide variance from year to year. It's more about off season talking points, clicks, etc. -
All in all, the Padres bullpen was good, real good, think we'd be thrilled with such a performance from the Cubs pen. The real culprit were the Padres' bats, Brewers gave them many opportunities to put the game away and they couldn't cash in.
-
One thing I learned, the Brewers logo is the juxtaposition of a lowercase m and a b. Now, upon glancing at the logo, I can't stop seeing the m and b.
