We need them to play the world-beater Nationals instead. -
I'm pretty much conceding the division. Just try to hang on to a wild card spot.
-
Can't even hold onto an 8-1 lead. This team is running on fumes.
-
Drew Smyly, is that you?
-
Forearm strain. Not good.
-
Lost in everything else was another solid outing from Kyle. Outside of the first inning struggles, he has been really good.
-
I always go back to only overturning the obvious missed calls. If a reasonable person can look at a replay and immediately know that they blew the call, overturn it. If you have to study 3 different angles to make the conclusion that he was "probably" out, then the call stands. As it is currently, they definitely stray too much into the subjective territory.
-
Ok, let's leave Smyly in that role.
-
At least they are hitting the ball harder now. It only took 8 innings.
-
Offense is really cooking tonight.
-
When/why did Kyle go away from throwing the curveball? A 2 pitch pitcher with one of those pitches being a mid 80's fastball wouldn't seem to be a great recipe for success. He has still been getting by pretty well, but was his curve really that bad to take it out of his repertoire almost completely?
-
Nico, what are you doing?
-
These Pirates uni's are awful.
-
The old Lovie Smith, "the second half of the fourth quarter of the season" trick.
-
Pretty sure he was just reducing it down to the 3 remaining games.
-
Easy win! All I'm asking now is 7+ scoreless innings from Kyle tomorrow.
-
Spoiler alert: NO
-
That's a hard hit single in the box score!
-
This offense needs a shot in the arm. It's time to try something different. Get Mervis in the lineup, something. It can't get much worse.
-
Every game is a struggle...
-
Are the metrics available in a way that breaks his 2 strike contact out separately from everything else? The eye test gives us our hypothesis that his 2 strike approach is skewing the data, I would be really interested in what the data shows.
-
Even if Stroman comes back, the Cubs absolutely have to address the starting rotation. They can't go into the season being one injury away (Stroman, Steele) from disaster.
-
Definitely not my parents. I always have to listen to them complain about how they can't stand Boog and all his stats.
-
It feels like we "survived" the Tigers. Now take 3 out of 4 from the Pirates and all will be well going into the Milwaukee series.
