  1. I thought I had heard of someone doing that before so I looked it up and Kenley Jansen did it 2 years ago. https://www.mlb.com/news/kenley-jansen-executes-intentional-balk
  2. Cubs signed Dee Strange-Gordon (you probably remember him better as Dee Gordon) to a minor-league deal. Ominous indicator of Nico's injury status.
  3. I'm kind of stunned he swung at all.
  4. I'll give Ross this, I'm not used to the perfectly logical move of bringing on the closer in this particular spot
  5. This ump is slobbering Wainwright and Molina's collective knob even more than the broadcast team is
  6. It's obviously a good thing when every one of your losses seems to be by one run, but the problem with it is every single one of your losses is by one horsefeathering run
  7. Thank goodness I missed the Molina HR while putting my kids to bed because whenever that horsefeathering poser does anything my heart dies a bit.
  8. Whoever Williams is apparently thought Eric Sogard's walk up music just couldn't be topped
  9. Len took some time to start doing that too. It wasn't until the Aramis game winner against Milwaukee (to me anyway) that he truly felt like our guy, and that was his 3rd year here.
  10. Boog is excellent at the job and he and JD are fun together. There's an ineffable warmth the Len/JD team brought that isn't quite there for me yet, and it's probably got a lot to do with the fact that I got so used to Boog as a national voice. But our booth continues to be among the best in the game.
  11. God Bryant is just horsefeathering sensational right now
  12. Fun and/or pointless fact: I covered the kid that put the ball in play. He went to a local high school. That team also faced Syndergaard yesterday. Talk about your 'welcome to the pros' moment for any first-timers in that lineup.
  13. Seems suboptimal that in the 8th inning of a close game we trail we have PJ Higgins and Eric Sogard taking consecutive at bats
  14. Cubs night games before Memorial Day and after Labor Day have been starting at 6:30 since 2019.
  15. Using one of my bench-player swaps; drop Nimmo, add Mike Zunino.
  16. Max Scherzer is an all-time great and yet this will always come to mind when I think of him.
  17. Your feed just stopped every time a half inning ended too?
  18. He should be fired over this. Not remotely joking. But of course if this wasn't what Reinsdorf wanted he wouldn't have hired him to begin with.
  19. It's definitely 5-3. Not sure what's going on with MLB's real-time feed. Nico never hit a home run today. Not sure where that came from.
  20. What a stunning turn of events that leaving Zach Davies in to waste an out by bunting in the 5th resulted in him taking 3 damn pitches to give the one-run (could've been more without the wasted out) lead against the so-called softer part of the Nationals lineup.
  21. Holy hell. Got to be the best play he's made as a Cub.
  22. I'm not sure we ever found out. He went to the Dodgers as an off-field person in 2019 and when the Tampa Bay Times talked to him about it he just called it a "parting of the ways" and didn't go any further.
