    Holy hell. Got to be the best play he's made as a Cub.
  2. Andy
    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.

    I don't know which part you're being smart-aleck about, but I believe several if not all of those 8 had been vaccinated. 7 of the 8, last I had read, have no symptoms, and the 8th only mild ones, which of course is the point of getting the vaccine to begin with.

    Probably not great that I can easily pick moments he's come through because they stand out that much but 4 quick ones I can think of: -Walk off single against the Mets earlier this season -Go ahead 3 run HR off of Hader in the 9th of a game the Cubs were trailing -Walk off grand slam against the Phillies in 2018 -Game winning single in Jon Lester 1 hitter against the Giants in 2016 Yeah, considering how freaking terrible he has been for pretty much his entire Cubs career, he's come through probably more often than he should have.

    Davies took what 3 pitches to piss away that lead? (Of course, it's absurd that we only have 1 run to begin with.)

    Not nearly as good a fake rally as Sunday's
  7. Andy
    And right on cue Duffy dumps one into RF for another hit.
  8. Andy
    Hindsight is 20/20 but I'm not sure I'd put the inning in Nick Martini's hands there by sending Joc on 3-2 when Duffy and Rizzo are the next 2 up.

    Bryant out of the game for some reason
  10. Andy
    Both broadcasts are using the same feed, and I'm not seeing anything, so it must just be something the network is doing.
  11. Andy
    Without looking it up I'd say it's damn near impossible because it wasn't until this century that guys were signing long enough contracts to keep getting run out there long after they stopped being any good.
  12. Andy
    The rule is dumb but that was a hell of a sweep. 3 of the best pitchers on the planet and we win with Hendricks, bullpen day and Alzolay. Golden opportunity to get some momentum going against Pittsburgh.
  13. Andy
    Bold strategy by Kyle Ryan to pitch like he's terrified anything in the zone will be hit out of the park
  14. Andy
    No more hats to the left, for now at least.

    It's watermarked now, but still floating around the Web http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e67/ndistops/Dumpster.jpg This is taken from a 2008 game thread that was 41 pages long.

    Bote flashing some major leather over there at 3B tonight. Andrew Chafin continues to be awesome.
  17. Andy
    I don't think I've ever seen that contact play work. A guy either would've scored anyway on a base hit or he gets thrown out by 10 feet like Rizzo just was.
  18. Andy
    It's stupid how good Bryant is right now.
  19. Andy
    I don't live in the area anymore and don't get Marquee but Len was a mercenary just like everyone else. I remember him doing a nationally televised cubs game and had to get excited for any big play for or against the Cobs. Surprised he didn't end up going to the Brew Crew. i know he was just a mercenary too, but the reason he didn't act excited for good cubs plays during nationally televised games was because he had to remain impartial. all announcers do that. I actually recall being fascinated at how different he sounded calling our good plays on FOX versus local broadcasts. That's got to take some work.
  20. Andy
    He hasn't yet. Didn't start either game today. Wildly uneducated guess is he'll be back in the lineup within a day or two, otherwise they would've IL'd him as well.
  21. Andy
    That was a really fun inning.
  22. Andy
    I meant MLB as the company line. I'm sure the Ricketts would rather have the extra 4 innings of gameplay over these 2 games. But I'm pretty sure 7-inning doubleheaders will never go away now.
  23. Andy
    Every team's fans feel like this, probably, but it's incredible how none of the Daniel Descalso types ever seem to get hurt but our only semi-reliable veteran starter and the non-Bryant guy providing the biggest jolt to the offense go on the injured list on the same day.
  24. Andy
    Drop Hiura at DH, add Shohei Ohtani. Bye-bye to my first-half transactions. Still at $1K.
  25. Andy
    No idea how the tickets work but think they kept the 7-inning DH thing to help limit pitcher innings/fatigue off the shortened year. That's the company line. I wonder what the company line will be next year when they're still here.
