  1. That had disaster written all over it. Good thing it wasn't Schwindel at first.
  2. The Cubs have to lead the league in lost leads and I would be surprised if there is even be a close second.
  3. Almost as annoying as his complete uselessness as a player is his stupid practice swing that doesn't even resemble an actual swing.
  4. Back surgery is definitely scary, but it sounds promising that there were no structural issues. This probably pushes his MLB timeline back at least a full year, but let's hope he can come back next year with no long term effects.
  5. Record since the proclamation that the Cubs will win the division: 3-0 Boy are we all going to have egg on our faces.
  6. It isn't too late. I don't care if the Cubs trade Happ, but they should re-sign Contreras and let him be the bridge to the future. Yadi is 39 years old, and now especially with the DH, there's no reason Willy can't be productive for another 4-5+ years.
  7. I wondered the same thing, and especially to have him out there in a situation where a sacrifice fly wins the game. He had no chance whatsoever to throw a runner out on anything but the shallowest of fly balls.
  8. Wait, did Heyward get "skipped" in the batting order?No he lined out to TaylorAh,ok. Seems like the right call for him to be the runner then. I hate the rule, but it makes sense to be the preceding position in the lineup who starts on second, not the player who made the last out.
  9. Wait, did Heyward get "skipped" in the batting order?
  10. Record since the proclamation that the Cubs will win the division: 2-0
  11. Remember a few days ago when I said I like this new aggressive running game? Strike that from the record. It sucks.
  12. Record since the proclamation that the Cubs will win the division: 1-0
  13. Patrick Wisdom hits some pretty looking home runs. None of that "in the basket" stuff. Hit it high and let it fly.
  14. sooo...we'll be inactive since we have none? To be fair, he allowed for the possibility that there could be a singular "good player."
  15. Mama said there'd be days like this.
  16. To be fair, Rivas has been striking out almost every at bat. But your point still stands, and we pretty much all knew from the start that Simmons was a terrible signing. How much of that blame belongs on Ross though? He doesn't have much to work with.
  17. I can't get mad about that one. It was a fraction of an inch off the plate and could go either way.
  18. What is the alternative? There is nobody else.
  19. Not that it has amounted to anything, but I like this new Cubs running strategy. If teams aren't going to attempt to stop it, just keep stealing bases.
  20. Matt Swarmer gets the Game 1 start tomorrow. Which begs the question, who is Matt Swarmer?
  21. Following such a well-pitched game by both starters, this has been a laughably poorly played game by both teams.
  22. Consecutive bunts in the 10th inning. This has been a strange game.
  23. With Rivas in for Schwindel, this is still a very solid defensive infield.
