  1. It feels pretty clear that AKME are giving up on this 'hover between 6-10' stuff and have decided to rebuild. They probably got spurred into it (no pun intended) by the fact that next year's first-rounder is top-10 protected and otherwise goes to San Antonio because of the DeMar trade.
  2. I'm the first to complain about luck but we're doing it every day. Either we're the most spectacularly unlucky team in MLB history or we just suck and you notice bad luck a lot more when you suck
  3. It feels like giving up grand slams in 2 games in the same series is a bad idea
  4. Michael Busch got rock solid defensively really fast
  5. Happened before I turned the game on, fully expect this outcome
  6. Another gem of an AB from a Cubs catcher with RISP
  7. I was assuming they'd lock it down until the Cubs had the lead and then blow it, but Hodge did well there.
  8. Fake baseball or loss, probably both.
  9. It took 3 batters, which is a somewhat novel amount for this group
  10. I have no particular opinion on managerial skill but every complaint we had about Ross (mainly an inexplicable devotion to crappy performing veterans and bad bullpen decisions) has either stagnated or gotten worse under Counsell. I don't blame Counsell for having a terrible bullpen but the Cubs gave him a gazillion dollars in large part because of his supposed wizardry on the matter so that's how he's getting judged.
  11. Nick Ahmed channeling his peak Cubs killing days from his time in Arizona there
  12. I literally dread RISP with 0 out anymore
  13. I'm not nearly as old as Pat and I'm sure I'd feel different if it was my actual job, but I always thought if I were lucky enough to get one of those jobs I would hate the idea of missing games or innings unless I had to, because I'd want my voice on any call of something crazy happening.
  14. Well, Shota was fun for a couple months
  15. And it takes us what 2 pitches to give the run back
  16. The sad part is I'm kind of relieved they at least got 1 run out of that.
  17. The Bulls did something.
  18. That was a really terrific play by Dansby. This inning could be going much worse right now if not for defense.
  19. Definitely overused, the Cubs were going out of their way to be careful with him but it seems anecdotally like he's pitched a fair bit these days.
  20. Getting paid back for some of our terrible batted-ball luck this inning.
