  1. He did play really well in June, but the second the slugging stopped happening, which was way before now, something should have been done with an eye on the playoffs. Doubt he'll heal at this point, even if he actually did sit out long enough for it (which he probably would argue against anyway)
  2. I'm not letting myself buy a comeback yet, but at minimum I like the idea of playing the role of 2015 Cubs in a playoff series to the Brewers' version of that St. Louis team that might have peaked too early
  3. Doesn't seem like he can trust any one pitch right now, which isn't good
  4. Another big W for the Cubs' medical staff.
  5. So Matt Shaw seemingly overnight turned into one of the best two-way players in the game? That'll work.
  6. The ESPN/MLBTV thing is concerning. The MLBTV app is easily the streaming app I've had the least problems with, and while the ESPN app is fine, it's not as good. And of course the price increases are likely coming. I wonder if this is the end of the MLBPAA discount.
  7. They kept them in 2021. I remember a game I was supposed to go to got rained out and rescheduled as part of a 7-inning doubleheader and my friend and I shared our mutual hatred of them
  8. That's still not happening but I like the idea of potentially being in Brewer fans' heads as a potential NLDS matchup (presuming the Cubs end up in the 4/5).
  9. Turner is good against LHPs, Caissie is not. I want to see Caissie too, but this is still a results game.
  10. Huge hit by Nico and a really stupid challenge by Pat Murphy. This isn't even close, really.
  11. Lineup construction doesn't matter, etc. etc. but having our strikeout-prone guys up seemingly every time in those spots is wearing on me
  12. That game was definitely my "OK, just because we won the title doesn't mean these playoff games aren't trauma-inducing anymore" game
  13. Boyd is giving up line shots all over the place, maybe someone ought to be getting up in the pen
  14. I'm anti-booing on the principle of your last sentence, but bringing up Tucker's impending free agency wasn't going to get the point across. If Tucker doesn't stop sucking patootie pretty soon, whether he wants to deal with Cubs fans or not will be the least of his free agency issues.
  15. If this season was going to be full of stupid horsefeathers like a pitching injury apocalypse and Tucker inexplicably morphing into Heyward and the offense all sucking at once, I wish it could've happened early rather than wasting time and energy on this.
  16. I get from a logistical perspective why it no longer matters to have an AL and NL - there's no difference anymore with the DH and no more separate umpires and all that - but I don't like the geographic thing either. I wouldn't like the NFL getting rid of the NFC/AFC either.
  17. Prior to that line shot that luckily stayed in the park, Horton looked really good. He's got the swing and miss going.
  18. I don't really notice him much, but his tone patterns are so similar to the previous PA guy that it's amusing to me.
