  1. That's like 5 warning track flyouts because sure why not
  2. Yep. It flat-out doesn't matter who pitches at this point after the starter gets out, at the moment they all suck
  3. I know in theory it's a bad look, but honestly I think I understand it here. First of all Ballmer is worth a horsefeathers ton more money than Kawhi will ever be. More importantly, the salary cap (leaving aside my thoughts on it as a concept) is the owners' tool to limit player compensation. They have to bring the hammer down when an owner takes steps like this to violate it, otherwise the tool has no meaning. Players can request their bosses do something like this all they want, but no one has to say yes.
  4. I know who you're talking about but you could put this post up pretty much any time any of our pitchers takes the mound
  5. Brewers up 1 as we go into the bullpen in the 4th. I'm sure nothing bad will happen from here
  6. Maybe Peterson has a Hendricks-style 81 pitch shutout in him, it's our best chance to win this one
  7. Shota isn't going anywhere right now. Counsell always signals if he's going to make a move like that and he's been steadfast in supporting Shota staying in the rotation.
  8. Maybe if we fall behind by enough they'll use position players again
  9. Remember when I said no matter how ****** the pitchers were that they can't possibly keep giving up homers at this rate? I take it back. They clearly can.
  10. It is just so frustrating that we're this good on offense and have one of the best individual Cubs seasons literally ever unfolding and thanks to the pitching apocalypse we're staring down the barrel of a road wild card series
  11. Sucks when the shoe is on the other foot and you're the one allowing dink hits and making mistakes in the field, eh, Brew Crew
  12. Assad apparently can't come back up, barring an injury, for a few more days. He has to be down in Iowa for 15 days from when he got sent down.
  13. FWIW I think there was a report yesterday that Dansby's rehab is going well and there's optimism he'll be on the short side of that 4-6 weeks.
  14. Win some damn games. The division is a nonissue, we'd have to sweep all 7 to put that on the table and that's obviously not going to happen.
  15. Really would've been nice to have a guy or two on for Pete there. He's in full 2005 D Lee mode where you're always doing the math to figure out when he bats next
  16. TBF not every team is going to blast home runs at this rate on us, even if the pitching does suck that kind of thing doesn't happen for a month straight.
  17. It's an NBC thing. If they can't get a truly awesome color guy, this is probably the best move. Benetti seems to play well in this arrangement, so at least there's that.
  18. Assad needs to be brought up and put back in the rotation. He might blow up at some point but even if he does that would just put him on par with everyone else pitching for us anyway
  19. Jesus H, this team flat out sucks at pitching. We're never going to be able to outslug a playoff opponent at this rate no matter how good Pete is
  20. This is such a nothing issue by comparison to everything else in this sport but I wonder if we're going to start calling "Week Zero" Week One next year. It's officially a rule now that everyone can start their season this weekend starting next year, no waivers necessary
  21. No editorial comment to be added here, but this is the game SC elected to replace Notre Dame with on the schedule
  22. Problem is the bullpen has to come in at some point
