Oy, Seiya. That... was awful. -
Wait, why do minor league options come into play here for a top of rotation starter?
-
It's going to be both depressing and hilarious when they end up with a better pick than the White Sox.
-
The only one I possibly disagree with is Ballasteros. The Cubs catching situation is dire right now. IF Ballasteros can handle catching a Major League staff, and that's a big "if", then I'm not opposed to taking a chance and giving him a shot.
-
You know it. Jed is going to get the Reinsdorf mandate to push for the playoffs.
-
No pressure Kyle. We just need a CG shutout tomorrow night.
-
For most teams, that would be a crushing defeat. For the Cubs, is just your average Monday night.
-
For those of you tracking Blown Saves at home, add one to your ticker.
-
I couldn't tell if he got a great break on the ball off the bat. If not, he made up a lot of ground but just couldn't quite get there
-
Here we go. The ole "plug a journeyman into the closer role and hope it works."
-
I like Busch and he has been good, but man does he swing through a lot of seemingly hittable pitches.
-
Maybe, but Miller did pitch 1 1/3 last night too.
-
Nice job by Miller. How long until he goes on the IL?
-
Not an easy catch, but remind me again why Seiya is in RF instead of Cody?
-
Damn, if that ball wasn't picked up clean on the hop, PCA had an easy 4 bases.
-
That new Costner movie looks like, "What if we made a really long version of Yellowstone where nothing interesting happens?"
-
Better than Nido? Probably.
-
That depends on whether you still consider David Ross "available "
-
1 for 6 with RISP, and the 1 was pretty much a routine groundout.
-
It was nice of Yan to leave his slow bats in the clubhouse for Nido.
-
2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs discussion, anyone?
Irrelevant Dude replied to Nolansomebody's topic in Other Sports
That was a wild third period. So many chances for Edmonton, but they just weren't able to get the puck in the net. -
Marquee did that on their end.
-
Gotta get those commercials in. Right in the middle of the Willie Mays moment of silence seems like a good time to go to break.
-
Yes and no. My kids were more interested in getting the bobbleheads, so we stood in line at the Right Field gate while watching the ceremony on my phone. There were a ton of people in Gallagher Way (obviously), so we avoided that area. I'm happy for Sandberg though and it's always great to see him around the ballpark.

When I posted this thread, I fully expected there to be statistics that would indicate it isn't really an issue (or at least not strongly support the theory), and it didn't take long for that to happen! I agree that it is probably an "all teams do this" thing more than a Cubs-specific issue, and likely a result of pitching being so good now that it is impossible for all but the best hitters to truly control the strike zone.
