    We did it!

    I think they strike out less (anecdotal but I've heard it mentioned on broadcasts) but the weird thing about having significantly worse players on offense is that it doesn't horsefeathering matter if you make contact or not.

    Honest to God that single transaction might make me doubt Hoyer more so than anything else he's done. That signing was stupid and pointless from the jump and never had a chance to be even remotely decent.

    It's absolutely incredible that no matter what the hell this franchise does they suck with RISP. You'd think just by dumb luck they'd hit decently in that position once or twice. As I recall they were merely middling and not terrible in 2016 but basically every other year it's been a catastrophe.

    We clearly did not soak in the 2003 series win at Wrigley enough

    What a frustrating decision. Clint Frazier is likely never going to do much of anything but there are several completely useless players on the 40-man who could've been dumped instead. Even if you didn't want this to be the moment you got rid of Heyward, Andrelton Simmons comes immediately to mind.

    Do people actually browse the forum by going into individual subforums? They shouldn't, but you do have to go to the main page to mark all forums read, so you'd still be subjected to that headline on occasion.

    Not sure where to put this but reports are that Contreras and the Cubs settled at the midpoint between their arbitration figures to dodge the hearing that was set for today.

    The Cubs destroyed the league for 2 1/2 months in 2016, went 5-15 and people* were freaking out. *No judgement on anyone as, without going back and looking, it's entirely possible I was one of those people. I openly mused to friends during that stretch that I might be a monster for raising my then-unborn son a Cubs fan (he couldn't give less of a crap about baseball or any sport as a spectator, so this probably won't end up being a thing), which qualifies as the most insane sports-fan overreaction of my entire life.

    Good God Schwindel. At least 1 run directly pinned on his frying pan at first base
  11. Andy
    How many times have you rounded 3rd base in your life, Sosa? At least like 3,000, right? That's an unreal blunder. Please win now and make it look worse

    Nico is on the benchDon't mess up my lame attempts to be funny with facts
  13. Andy
    Madrigal really knocked the crap out of that one. Then again, the alternative was Simmons, who might well have a better chance if he took a tree branch to the plate
  14. Andy
    Well, at least we know that needing back surgery at this early an age isn't a harbinger for long-term problems or anything
  15. Andy
    I'm sure I'm gonna be fed some line about why it's perfectly reasonable Paul Goldschmidt is putting up his career high in slugging percentage at age horsefeathering 34 but I'm going to go ahead and call bull horsefeathers on whatever that line is.
  16. Andy
    He does that almost every game against Milwaukee. You can tell he thinks Yelich is a cheating punk but he never comes out and says anything negative. I get a huge kick out of it.
  17. Andy
    I'm so impressed with his plate discipline, he's gonna have a lot more staying power with the types of pitches he isn't chasing, especially in a more reduced role down the line. His take on the 0-2 pitch right after Willy told him to take a deep breath was legit one of the best takes I've ever seen in my life. That was a really good pitch.
  18. Andy
    That was a tremendous moment. I horsefeathering love Contreras and I'm gonna miss him terribly when he's traded.
  19. Andy
    Madrigal continues to hit the piss out of the ball, reaching on a high bouncer infield single
  20. Andy
    I didn't turn the game on yet but just so there's a thread
  21. Andy
    I'm gonna go ahead and make this same move as well
  22. Andy
    I think you know the answer
  23. Andy
    Colossally inept managing from TLR to leave washed up Cueto out here to face the heart of the order a *fourth* time with the bases loaded
  24. Andy
    I remain all aboard the Morel train. Even though it didn't turn into runs, that was a hell of a job drawing a walk against Cueto to load the bases.
  25. Andy
    It took 3 batters for La Russa to start complaining about a clearly correct call - tried to bitch that Happ impeded Grandal throwing to 2nd on his follow through when Happ made no contact whatsoever with Grandal
