  1. 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.
  2. Kyle Hendricks just tied William Hutchinson for 7th all-time on the Cubs strikeout list.
  3. This home plate umpire has had a massive impact on the game.
  4. PCA swinging through multiple hittable fastballs in the zone makes me sad.
  5. Should have been "our tool bag"
  6. In recent years, it has been completely timer-based without the pitch limit, so it is actually much less frantic this year.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Not sure what the metrics say, but that ball PCA just ran down fairly routinely had double written all over it.
  10. Welp, I guess we're sellers then. What's that? Nothing to sell? Alright, carry on then.
  11. This goober is somehow gonna end up with 50 saves while almost blowing every one of them.
  12. I doubt the players really care or even knew about the scoreless streak. That wasn't great though.
  13. Shoulder? He seems to be holding his arm really weird. Not good.
  14. Bote being a thing really makes Wisdom redundant.
  15. 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.
  16. Why does it seem like the fence is 500 feet from home plate in this stadium?
  17. I know the Cubs want length from Hendricks here with the double header tomorrow, but I don't think I would push my luck. 6 scoreless is great. I would be tempted to go to the pen now before he gets in any trouble.
  18. Hendricks is making Gorman look downright silly.
  19. My wife and I planned on doing at least one road series trip per year. Then we had kids... and we didn't get very far: Wrigley Field Guaranteed Rate PNC Park (Pittsburgh) Great American Ballpark (Cincinnati) American Family Field (Milwaukee) Fenway Park (Boston) Chase Field (Arizona) + Old Comiskey
  20. I woke up this morning to a billing notification from Apple because I had apparently forgotten to cancel my free trial subscription. And now I find out the Cubs are actually playing on Apple TV+ tonight. Everything's coming up Milhouse!
  21. Coincidentally, that's what Brewer will be doing next year.
