    It blows my mind that he never pitched an inning after the age of 24.

    The Cubs will definitely score under 18 runs in one game this year.

    Let's see...there's no way it's Zobrist, Fowler, Rizzo, or Heyward. Soler has a good walk rate. Ross, Montero, or La Stella wouldn't be surprising. That leaves Bryant and Russell. I'll say Bryant since Russell walked a ton in the 8 spot.

    If the Cubs finish the year 52-52, they will end up 93-69. And probably still make the playoffs.

    I'm still an extremely dumb soccer fan, but Zardes just bothers me to watch. He always looks like he's playing panicked or something. I have zero confidence in him to make good decisions when he has possession of the ball. He has a first touch worse than anyone I've seen at the National team level. So it becomes instantly more difficult to play possessive soccer through him. If you watch the Bolivia friendly, Zardes gets two assists by accident as the ball careens off him fortunately right to a teammate. In his favor, he makes good runs and tracks back very well defensively and gets a lot of takeaways in the open field. He's just super unreliable when you play the ball to him.

    Also, Cameron and especially Brooks were great last night. Best I've felt about a central back pairing in a while. Dempsey was also great. Wood was better when they moved him up high. Zardes has no place in this lineup and was worse than usual.

    Someone should ask him why he looked like he was on the verge of tears the entire game then. It was exactly like the Colombia game. The US got the early goal and sat back and countered to perfection.

    If Paraguay somehow wins here, the group gets weird.

    Ridiculous yellow for Brooks.

    I fear the Cubs have skewed your concept of a good pitcher so far that you can't tell who one is.

    Some good curveballs by Eickhoff that inning. Still, a 17 pitch 1-2-3 inning.
  12. bukie
    Did Eickhoff leave the game?
  13. bukie
    Derwood, once again 3 days late to a game thread.

    You ever recall a game where you exaggerate to say that all the other team's grounders kept finding holes and your team couldn't buy a hole to hit through? This game is the reality of that exaggeration.

    Now we know a Jake Arrieta disaster start consists of 5 innings with 12 strikeouts.
  16. bukie
    Better option than Federowicz.
  17. bukie
    Heh, still counts as a single, so it's a .900 BABIP against Arrieta today.
  18. bukie
    In play, out(s), what does that even mean?
  19. bukie
    1-2-3 inning, but only two strikeouts.
  20. bukie
    4 straight. There were some hits intertwined.
  21. bukie
    Offense went straight to horsefeathers after the Arrieta double.
  22. bukie
    When the Cubs hit a HR in a game this season, they are 30-5.

    Today's weird MLB play...the Blue Jays score two runs on a strikeout: http://m.mlb.com/video/v775695283/torbos-blue-jays-get-two-runs-on-a-strikeout/?game_pk=447707
  24. bukie
    The Cubs are 24-3 when they score first, and 15-12 when the opponent scores first.
  25. bukie
    Cubs starters have been so good this season that today's Hammel start actually drove the starters' ERA up.
