Nicely done, Rizzo.
-
So he managed to almost match the lofty standards of Tyler Anderson. AIM BIG.

No doom bonering here, friend-o; I don't assume terrible things are going to happen and am always hoping for the best.

Maybe I'm too demanding, but I'd prefer a Cubs starter to not only go 5.1 and give up 4 earned runs regardless of the stadium given how the starting rotation has looked thus far. It literally took a ball to drop that’s caught 99.99999999% of the time for the 4 ERs to happen. If that doesn’t happen he likely goes long since his pitch count is way down and the lead is bigger. I guess I'd be curious as to when you think a Cubs starter has actually stunk this year, or if there are always mitigating circumstances. "Just one bad inning, just a bunch of weak contact, etc., etc.."

I mean I don’t think that’s what people are saying. It’s just that it’s Coors, pitchers are going to struggle and give up HRs. They all count but there’s some context with them. Yeah, I wasn’t even saying it was because of Coors. I was saying people were getting really mad at him for giving up two solo shots as his only mistakes of the game. Maybe I'm too demanding, but I'd prefer a Cubs starter to not only go 5.1 and give up 4 earned runs regardless of the stadium given how the starting rotation has looked thus far.

Phew.

Almora running to anything is going to give me a heart attack at some point, I know it.
-
horsefeathers you, Rockies, for making Drinky Joe's madness look good.
-
Being professional pitchers with 2000 innings on their arms is a pretty good argument for perpetually looking for reasons to be concerned about them. No, no; you see, the Rockies home runs don't count because it's Coors (which I guess means that the measly 3 home runs the Cubs also have hit here so far in this series don't count, too. Sorry, Baez!).
-
Yeah, it was a real moral victory or something. I think they just call it a victory when you win. The Cubs starting pitchers are like jazz; you really have to look at what's in between all of the runs they give up in their brief starts to truly get it.

The horsefeathers was Rizzo looking for on the first two pitches.
-
That's not a serious question, right?
-
I too look forward to the time in the indeterminate future when big FA signing Yu Darvish is able to pitch beyond the 4th inning.
-
Good gif themes are too good for these humps.
-
Shoulda got giant manbaby Verlander instead.
-
It's kind of a minor miracle they didn't try to get Zobrist to take his AB's blindfolded or some horsefeathers.
-
Oh, sweet; another established good player they spend a bunch on and then decide they need to "fix."

Really not sure how you're turning, "I enjoy my favorite baseball team more when they're consistently good and would prefer for them to be like that sooner rather than later" into a "narrow window" for enjoying said baseball team. Personally, I think to act like the Cubs didn't play long, LONG stretches of frustrating baseball last year is just flat out denial. Thinking that doesn't somehow negate the end result or even mean someone is saying it was all a disappointment; like, how can anyone disagree with the idea that it would be more enjoyable to see the Cubs play better than they are right now, or for basically the whole first half last year? Relax; we don't need our hands held in explaining why the Cubs are actually a good baseball team who should be playing better; that's why we're sulking in the first place.
