Wow, [expletive] this ump. That corner is obscene. -
To be fair, Travis Wood is some kind of garbage person.

So the bullpen woes everyone keeps complaining about are mostly just a heaping helping of BABIP variance? All of our pitchers have been BABIPed to death so far. I've never seen so many seeing eye ground balls in my life. The Arrietta start against the Reds may have been the worst. I guess that's what I still have trouble wrapping my head around; at what point does it go from "man, they're just REALLY unlucky" to "man, they're just giving up too many hits?" [expletive], Bryant just wants to live on base.

Remember Lester (aside from the pickoff stuff) his first couple outings and how great he is now? Today's bullpen is early Lester. I've only seen Lester's first and latest start, so that was a jarring shift.

Fellas, I haven't been able to watch very many games due to work, and the pitching all around has sure looked pretty poopy most of the times I have watched; please do me a solid and tell me some soothing things to make me feel better.

The Cardinals will not score here.

This game is taking foreverrrrrrrrrrrrr. I'm so very tired.
-
Bryant sure likes that whole getting on base thing.

He's fine, you feebs. http://i.giphy.com/Ph1KpadRmh9yE.gif

I've been watching the awesome Bulls game; is any of this result of a throbbing Cubs dong?
-
Against the Cavs or to win the whole thing? They definitely can take advantage of the [expletive] that has befallen the Cavs, but yeah, the latter is still a pretty huge long shot. Eh. Both are longshots. Cavs still have the best player in the world who hasn't lost before the NBA finals in 5 years. 4 years. And let's not pretend he did it all by himself. It's 2015. He went to the finals in 2014, 2013, 2012, and 2011. Last time he lost was 2010. That was 5 years ago. http://i.imgur.com/23cDlhr.gif Never said he was doing it by himself; you talked about him like he willed his team to the finals all four seasons in Miami, and that's simply not the case. Where his last team ended up has little to do with the situation he's dealing with right now. He's an amazing talent and nobody with half a brain is saying that the Bulls are just going to romp all over them, but the reverse isn't that much less ridiculous. These first two games really mix things up, and Irving improved his defense this year but he's still potentially a liability out there on that end. The Bulls' biggest problem is their inconsistency, but if you're getting games where both Rose and Butler are creating havoc it's going to make things very interesting and test the Cavs' D.

Why? Are you driving through St. Louis?
-
Absolutely. Yuuuuuuuuuuuup.

It's going to be a frustrating year at times; probably a lot. It's also going to be a ton of fun. That's just rhe nature of a youth-driven team that's still coming in to its own. The Astros are going to similarly hit the wall themselves, and in turn the Cubs are likely going to have some awesome runs in them.
-
why is that funny? Not sure but 8-4 in night games and 5-6 in day games speaks to me. Like that dog spoke to David Berkowitz.

It's better to be Jorge Soler.

Let's All Freak Out About Jorge Soler, You Guys

To be fair, he's calling out the specific adjustment that needs to be made. Yes, the dazzling insight of determining that he needs to stop swinging and missing and striking out so much. -
Soler is making me nervous. Again: [expletive] Baez. Baez didn't invent brettjacksoning your way out of the league. Where's the previous stretches where Soler was striking out like this? These guys are going to have to make adjustments. Unlike previous busts (Baez included), we can at least look to periods of success already and hope that they're a sign of what they'll develop into. Nobody should ignore these things, but the amount of flop sweating hand wringing already is one of the worst aspects of Cubs fans.

I had Taco Bell last night for the first time in a long time and the [expletive] I took this morning was magnificent and epic. I feel like I've cleansed half a decade's worth of sinning at the very least. That has to count for something.

So if he stays bad, he won't make it, but if he gets better, he will.
