  1. Apparently my 3 year old son is a fan of that episode, because "MALK" is how he pronounces it.
  2. Going by this year's statistics, it would be difficult to find enough guys who are objectively worse. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
  3. Happ grounded into a double play. That happens, but Kipnis absolutely had to put the ball in play there. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
  4. I agree. That seemed to be a case of "we think he was probably out, so let's overturn it." Again, that shouldn't be the intent of replay. Correct the obvious errors and let the rest stand... That's pretty simple. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
  5. GIDP number 13 for Javy this year. At least it feels that way. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
  6. He was never good, but he has regressed to a complete liability on the roster. They might as well replace him with a speedster. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
  7. I have 2 full season tickets all to myself, ever since my brother decided to give up his half a few years ago. If anyone is seriously interested in a share, I'm sure we could work something out starting with next season. I can't make it to nearly as many games as I would like, and it is lot of work (mainly for my wife) to get rid of all the extras on Facebook/StubHub.
  8. Bote is a better offensive and defensive option at 3B than Kris Bryant. Discuss. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
  9. Are we having fun yet? Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
  10. I enjoyed Grace in the booth during Spring Training. Part of it was that he was there in person, but a bigger part was that Spring Training baseball lends itself more to guys just telling random stories with the game itself being largely irrelevant. He is just too much of a distraction for regular season games when the product on the field matters. It kills the flow of the broadcast. There is a time and place for "some" of his stories, but he is inserting them at the wrong time and the wrong place. There is a physical disconnect with him participating remotely, but even more significant is the emotional disconnect he has from everything around the current Cubs team. It feels like random sportscaster X telling stories that have nothing to do with the game. Sure, it would probably work a little better if he could be there in person, but not enough to actually make the broadcast better. Grace was my favorite Cubs player and I was excited to hear that he was being brought back into the organization, but it is time to rethink that role and try to find somewhere else to fit him in.
  11. He took the walk and the ump called it a strike. After that, all bets were off and he had to protect. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
  12. Real nice AB be Hoerner. Oh well. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
  13. Just awful. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
  14. Can we get Castellanos back? This is looking like the same dead ass lineup we saw most of last year. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
  15. Who is Jason Adam? I can't tell half of these generic righty relievers apart. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
  16. Nothing but walks and strikeouts. This brand of baseball sucks. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
  17. It's going to be hard to hit him if he gets strikes called outside the zone both high and low. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
  18. First ever double perfect game incoming. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
  19. Is Baez leading the league in GIDP? Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
  20. What's with the Thursday night FOX broadcast with a C-level announce team? Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
  21. Isn't this 3 nights in a row for Jeffress? Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
  22. I don't know if it will be with the Cubs, but he could make himself a lot of money this year. What a difference a few years makes.
  23. Kimbrell's stuff did look pretty good there, but then he leaves a straight fastball right down the middle of the plate. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
  24. What wind? Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk
