  1. GD it all, I didn't know that name worked for the center square or I'd have used it. Only one I missed.
  2. I only saw one AB of his but he went up 3-0 then declined to swing at a pitch he could've hit to Jupiter. He ended up with an ugly looking K. The sizzling hot streak may be ending. Luckily, Nico is picking it back up and Dansby looks great.
  3. LMAO those 3 had absolutely no chance. Straight dominance from Alzolay.
  4. That part's fine (great even), but he pulled Leiter for Fulmer with 2 out and nobody on in the 8th. That was the weird part to me. I'm sure it's specific batter vs pitch stuff that I'm not privy to, just a little odd from the outside.
  5. Fulmer doing nothing to extinguish my irrational dislike
  6. This is the second time in 4 days that we're going to Michael Fulmer in a pretty random situation and I'm seriously starting to wonder if he's getting showcased
  7. That is a massive wow from Seiya, but that stupid floater hit kind of neuters it
  8. I think it's wildly likely that Hendricks is more valuable to the Cubs the rest of the year than he is to any other team. Put another way, I don't think anyone is offering what it takes to get Hoyer to eat the possibility of having Hendricks on the roster at 16M next year.
  9. Weren't these violations committed during a pandemic-induced dead period? Not that that really makes them any worse, I guess, but it at least makes them less responsible. Part of what Tennessee got dinged for was that they (far more flagrantly than Michigan) were doing recruiting stuff during COVID dead periods.
  10. Interestingly you can't even subscribe if you're outside the Cubs TV market. I'd expect there to at least be the option even though there's nothing worth bothering with outside of games, but they probably just don't want to deal with it.
  11. The service is clearly just targeting people who don't have or want cable/streaming TV but still want to watch the Cubs (the presumption is that if you want to watch the Cubs in market and pay for live TV you'll probably just find the service(s) that carry Marquee) so $20 a month doesn't strike me as completely insane given that knowledge. I still don't expect that to generate meaningful revenue, though.
  12. I only got 5 today, which I think matches my all-time worst. Whiffed a couple of times on the 200-hit spots and totally blanked the obvious Phillies/Jays name. I see they added an NBA grid today, so even more time-suck. I actually got 8 of them, which is surprising since I haven't watched a full NBA regular-season game in damn near a decade now. (I do, however, play NBA 2K, so that helps.) Should've gotten 9, but I whiffed an obvious Pistons/Suns name.
  13. Reds facing the Brewers this week, so there's guaranteed ground to be made up.
  14. You know the Cubs are raking when Mancini gets in on the fun
  15. This is a heck of an offensive inning, great work by the last several batters.
  16. I completely whiffed the obvious name for BAL/LA and have been stewing about it since
  17. Also, I can't remember the last time I saw a hitter as locked in as Bellinger. Soriano in September 07 is the only comp I can think of.
  18. I'm ambivalent about Mowins - she's very solid on football - but it's a bummer that the Cubs have B teams on both the TV and radio sides today. I generally go to the radio feed on MLB.TV on the Boog/no Pat off days and I don't even have that option today because the Spiegel/Menaker radio team actively annoys me.
  19. Of course the nut bar stumbles around like a drunk doe the entire time that ball is in the air but makes the catch anyway
  20. Someone, maybe even on here, noted that if we had just signed Eovaldi instead of Taillon at similar money and done nothing else differently this team would probably be in buying position.
  21. What an honor to have the back-to-back-to-back AAU national champion on our site.
  22. Had to dig deep for Braves/Angels, but pulled off the immaculate today.
  23. I've certainly enjoyed the Alzolay closer experience, and it'd be nice to have a key roster spot not be a giant gaping hole going into 2024.
  24. I for one am shocked that making no effort to actually get Goldschmidt out with Arenado on deck didn't pay off
  25. I've only heard her do it a few times but I am suuuuuper done with Elise Menaker referring to a home run as a "bombski"
