  1. Bunt with Dansby. I don't care when the last time he bunted was.
  2. Before he gave up the home run, I was just about to post... Imanaga begging for strikes feels like he knows that he cant give up a single run and still have a chance to win the game.
  3. Are they though? None of their top three starting pitchers are particularly young. Yes, they have some intriguing young arms, but it's not like they have a rotation full of young aces.
  4. Dansby is like a stock that hits support every time he gets near .200. He has 1 or 2 decent games to look like he is starting to figure things out, then goes right back in the tank for an extended period of time.
  5. PCA needs to immediately drop down and start doing push ups every time he hits a pop up like that.
  6. Remember when the Cubs swept the Orioles? That was fun.
  7. On one hand, it seems incredibly unlikely that Kyle Hendricks is going to repeatedly intentionally throw at another respected veteran player. On the other hand, Kyle is exactly the kind of guy who could get away with that. Maybe that was his way of trying to show some fight where the rest of the team hasn't? Probably not, but I can't completely rule it out.
  8. Kyle Hendricks just tied William Hutchinson for 7th all-time on the Cubs strikeout list.
  9. This home plate umpire has had a massive impact on the game.
  10. PCA swinging through multiple hittable fastballs in the zone makes me sad.
  11. Should have been "our tool bag"
  12. In recent years, it has been completely timer-based without the pitch limit, so it is actually much less frantic this year.
  13. Remember when the Cubs only drafted SS's? Now, they only draft corner infielders who are unlikely to stick at any position outside of 1B/DH.
  14. Because it's a different job? That's isn't to say that he COULDN'T do play by play, but that generally isn't what he does.
  15. Not sure what the metrics say, but that ball PCA just ran down fairly routinely had double written all over it.
  16. Welp, I guess we're sellers then. What's that? Nothing to sell? Alright, carry on then.
  17. This goober is somehow gonna end up with 50 saves while almost blowing every one of them.
  18. I doubt the players really care or even knew about the scoreless streak. That wasn't great though.
  19. Shoulder? He seems to be holding his arm really weird. Not good.
  20. Bote being a thing really makes Wisdom redundant.
  21. Well done Kyle. He is going to have some games where he gets torched, and probably a few more than in the past, but he seems to have righted the ship overall.
