It's fine but the constant complaining every time a team were competing against scores a run and it's only mid-August is a bit strange I find it less annoying than the constant BABIP complaining. -
Back in the doghouse you go.
-
And if the Pirates keep playing well, good. I would much rather see them in a one-game playoff than the Giants, home field advantage or not.
-
That is a bit frustrating, but another way to think about it is every day that goes by without losing ground to the Giants is one fewer day for them to catch us.
-
This is going to be a long day for the Cubs offense.
-
Can we please get rid of Coomer on play-by-play? The 5 seconds of silence before announcing Schwarber's home run was simply fantastic.
-
So they should just write the problem off as "the yips" and not do anything about it? I'm no sports psychologist, but there must be SOME way to attempt to address the problem other than ignoring that it exists. The only way I know to fix it is to recite Victoria's secret catalog text.
-
I am truly curious, does Lester not practice making throws in practice? And if so, are there balls flying every which way on every throw? Or does he not have the issue in practice? How can this be fixed?
-
I know he has been pitching great, but this is ridiculous.
-
Coghlan is from the Jake Fox school of supersubs. He plays a lot of positions and plays most, if not all, of them poorly. If it is possible to park him where he can cause the least damage (Left Field) and have another more competent defender (Baez) at a key defensive position, I would be in favor of that. The Cubs are making the best of what they have to work with right now, but I would certainly not be married to Coghlan in the supersub role.
-
Nice. A Schwarberview!
-
Well done, sir!
-
I don't know, but a lot of Soler's hits have that Baseball Simulator 1.000 feel where if the fielder were to catch it they would be carried into the outfield wall.
-
I know it's probably the right move, but I don't like Ross coming up here with Schwarber's spot due to lead off in the event that the Giants tie this up.
-
So is 9th, so what can you do?
-
4-3, 6-3, 5-3. Which infielder is he going to ground out to this time?
-
Right? It's a straight fastball every.single.time. "Maybe we ought to try something different this time."
-
Apparently Joel Murray is Bill Murray's brother. I can't wait until we have Kevin Farley in the booth, although at least I would have heard of him.
-
As I said. On an unrelated note, who is Joel Murray?
-
This Giants offense is going to eat Motte alive, isn't it?
-
How has everyone been doing on ticket resale this year? I haven't noticed much increase in demand and am still selling a high majority of my tickets at a loss, including most weekend games. I'm starting to wonder whether we will ever see a return to the late 2000's attendance levels. Even with the Cubs playing well, the market is still flooded with tickets to almost every game. Increased StubHub fees don't help either, but it still feels like something is off. There are plenty of tickets available to this weekend's Giants series below face value. What is everyone waiting for?
-
Barely. I'm not saying Baez couldn't possibly be slightly worse. He certainly could. But with how bad Castro has been, there is very little risk in taking that chance. There is virtually nothing to lose except for Castro's future trade value, which I really don't care about at this point.
-
He needs to be up. No reason to keep trotting Starlin out. If you listen to Jesse Rogers, Baez shouldn't be called up because he could be "much worse" than Castro. Statistically, I don't know how that is even remotely possible.
-
what did he say? Something about Brooke Hogan's boyfriend.
-
Maddon is certainly playing with fire here.
