    Walking the leadoff man who is in the midst of a giant slump is ill advised.

    Now we just need that option on in-market Marquee broadcasts.

    Attaboy Matt.

    Defense is not helping Smyly tonight.
  5. Irrelevant Dude
    Yes. I'm not using my SportSync radio. 😁

    That didn't appear to be anywhere close to a swing.
  7. Irrelevant Dude
    Maybe the Cubs should stop taking Strike 3.

    Alternate audio works great though. Pat and Ron are perfectly in sync with the broadcast.

    I guess tonight is the night I begin my Apple TV trial period.

    It sucks that Willson is fully embracing his heel turn.

    Hosmer provides minimal defensive value, so essentially his ONLY purpose is to hit. I bet there are several guys who are out of baseball who could come in solely as a DH and easily outperform Hosmer. What is Pujols doing these days?

    Counterpoint: It would help if the $68 Million starting pitcher could make it through the 3rd inning.

    We stinks

    1 for 7 with RISP.
  16. Irrelevant Dude
    Maybe stop trying to load the bases? It isn't working.

    Mervis is taking too many strikes. It appears like he is looking for walks right now and taking pitches that he shouldn't.
  18. Irrelevant Dude
    Didn't like it then. Don't like it now.
  19. Irrelevant Dude
    That was entirely predictable.

    That helps put things into perspective. The way everyone talks about Bedard, one could be led to believe that he is the best draft prospect of the last 50 years and the future best player in the NHL, but it seems like that would be a stretch.

    This is ok. He's a leadoff hitter, and also probably the best pure contact hitter on the team. This is not a spot where power is a necessity. Happ's relative lack of power is more problematic than Hoerner's. He is fine as a Left Fielder, but isn't the ideal middle-of-the-lineup hitter. I wasn't big on making a long term commitment to Happ, but the length and amount of his extension was reasonable, so I think he is a piece that the Cubs can work around. It appears this is something we are just going to have to live with, but hopefully some more power comes along with those hot streaks. Swanson's OPS is being propped up by a very high OBP, but that isn't sustainable. This, to me, is where the biggest problem lies. The Cubs made a big commitment to Suzuki as their starting Right Fielder and so far he hasn't shown himself to be the power threat that they need. The emergence of Bellinger has taken some of the pressure off, but Suzuki has still been a big hole in the middle of the order for most of the season. If that doesn't change, the offense will continue to struggle and the lack of power will continue to be an issue.

    I blame YOU! 👆

    I am admittedly a relatively uninformed hockey fan, but can someone explain why Kane is or isn't a good comp for Bedard? They would seem to have similar size and skillsets, but Bedard is being labeled a "generational talent." While Kane has been a great player for a very long time, I don't know that I would put him in that category. So is there something about Bedard that makes people think he is another level above Kane, or is the comp simply not a valid one at all?

    Also, they lost a run because of a hamstring injury. That's the way things have been going lately.
  25. Irrelevant Dude
    In West Virginia, is he though?
