  1. The only thing that comes close is a bullpen that can't hold a lead of any size and we already did that dance for like 6 weeks too (been better lately of course)
  2. FanGraphs wrote an article this week about them being cooked, and my first thought was "You horsefeathers idiots just woke Satan up"
  3. Players reach the max pension amount at 10 years of service time.
  4. Good lord Happ finally hits one on the screws and it goes directly to a glove.
  5. That was some gangster horsefeathers from Leiter. Just impeccable execution of pitches.
  6. That's a good question and I don't know the answer, but he's got something like 8 weeks or so of service time at this point and will likely be back again this season eventually. I doubt that was a huge factor.
  7. Nah I'm sure this time he'll be back (I'll plan to copy paste this one for the next week)
  8. I'm not concerned about Morel really at all. I'm not concerned about the M&M middle infield disaster because I never thought much of either of them in the first place. Hendricks probably needs to go and that's depressing. Busch is concerning but it's hard to know what to make of him. I have no idea what to do with Happ or the catchers, if the Cubs cared much about the bats from their catchers they wouldn't have practically celebrated Contreras leaving.
  9. With Dansby coming off the IL and Vasquez coming up, would it be too much to hope for both of those train wrecks to be out the door?
  10. Boog is almost always off on Sundays because he does the ESPN Sunday night game on the radio and JD pops in and out a lot, often on road trips.
  11. And a bad throw to home plate yesterday might be the only reason they didn't get swept.
  12. There are fair quarrels to make with Jed but complaining about us not signing impact players in the offseason when he signed the literal best pitcher in baseball so far and also signed our current best hitter this offseason seems very strange.
  13. Unable to watch today so I'm seeing exactly as much good baseball as everybody else in this thread is
  14. San Diego is currently in the WC3 spot with a losing record, so 80-82 wins will probably keep them in the race.
  15. I have no idea how to look up 'opposing team BABIP rankings' but if the Cubs aren't in the top 2 I'll eat my socks.
  16. I would say it's quite optimistic of you to assume the bullpen won't give anything up but yeah, locking it down the day Skenes strikes out 24 in a perfect game seems about right
  17. Armed Forces weekend, they've been doing it a few years ever since they realized it was inappropriate to do the camo cosplay on Memorial Day.
  18. And Nico still isn't in the lineup, so we're fast closing in on the point where he should have been IL'd. Though in the Cubs' defense, there's probably no one freaking left to call up by now.
  19. I was only listening on the radio but Coomer made it sound like the runner wasn't ready to tag up on the line drive and he wouldn't have been able to score. That's something like the 4th time Seiya has flat out whiffed a play in RF in the last few months of games he's played, which is annoying.
  20. And of course as we slobber on him he takes that hideous AB with the bases loaded and 1 out. Good thing it was low-leverage.
  21. He's actually hitting .260 now, which I wouldn't have guessed. But you're absolutely right. He's fun.
  22. Javier Assad and Shota Imanaga battling for the Cy Young while carrying this MASH unit to contention wasn't on my bingo card.
