    What you don't buy that a .438 .412 1.000 1.412 line based off of 18 PA with no walks, where 3 of his 7 hits have been dongs on the back of a .400 BAbip, isn't sustainable? THE DEVIL YOU SAY.

    Sign him in the off season and use Schwarber as trade bait to fill some of the numerous holes on the roster. "Please give us goods and services for this broken button and half a cigarette I found in my pocket, please!" I say be bold, dammit. WITNESS MY MADNESS: Trade Rizzo for sexy prospects. Take sexy Rizz prospects, and any sexy prospects it takes that the Cubs already have, and try to pry Lindor loose from the Indians after they crash and burn in the playoffs yet again, or even fail to make them. Use hypnotism if necessary. Lindor plays SS. Baez plays 2B. Bryant/Bote/Happ play 3B/LF. Schwarber plays 1B.

    Dude should be in over Bote or Almora.

    Man, Castellanos keeps winning me over.

    For one more game.

    Yeah Russell had 2 more hits today with a double, had 2 hits a HR a couple days ago. Maybe its bad Karma leading to all our bad luck with the way some of the fans refuse to move on like his ex-wife does. That’s the opposite of how karma works.

    Holy horsefeathering damn.

    Or the Nationals. Or just shut up and stop posting Uhm, OK?
  9. Sammy Sofa
    Obviously you haven't seen the Yankees this year. Or the Nationals.

    Going in to today, Cishek with the sparkling 7.15/7.71 FIP/xFIP and a 1.34 WHIP in the second half.

    Don't go all Joe Morgan on us.

    My feed is a good 90 seconds behind this thread, and it's weirdly great.

    A Theo deadline acquisition who is both useful and isn't overtly a terrible human being? The hell you say.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    [expletive], that was a monster blast. PS - Eat horsefeathers and never come back, Russell.

    Because if they're sucking for a while, and word gets out they've been sick and/or injured, there's a good chance the two are related. And yet the Cubs rarely seem to put position players on IL. The Cubs will use IL for their pitchers when they have to, but it seems like they are bizarrely averse to using for position players unless they flat out can't play. I seriously doubt they're magically luckier than almost every other team out there when it comes to player health. Bryant, Zobrist, Russell and Contreras are all key examples of players in recent seasons who clearly needed to heal up, and they just kept trotting them out there well past the point it was obvious something was wrong, like they were going to get better if they played hard enough.

    Why? It’s 10 days, horsefeathering use it. There’s a reoccurring theme going back to 2017 and Zobrist wrist thing about them being buffoons with injury management. Because if we DL'd KB every time he needed body maintenance, he'd miss 100 games a year. It's like how everybody was freaking out when Rizzo missed four or five games with the back spasms he has every year. You don't just DL him and throw away five games when the resting five more isn't going to eliminate the issue once or twice a year. Stars have to play when they are hurting a little bit. There is zero way of knowing if KB is slumping because of an injury. Dude slumps at times. When your argument is hinged on, "this guy gets hurt a lot, so they shouldn't put ever put him on the IL unless he's REALLY hurt," it's a bad take. And if a guy, even if that guy is Bryant, who is playing like absolute butt, missing several games is "throwing them away," congratulations: you've constructed a terrible team. Playing every stretch like it's down the wire is going to bite you in the ass when it actually does come down to the wire. If he's banged up bad enough, he needs some extra rest. The Cubs' track record of letting injuries fester and linger, leading to extended bouts of wretched performance, speaks for itself at this point. Rizzo is an outlier.

    A lot of bad news/predictions all at once! http://assets.climatecentral.org/images/uploads/news/10_21_15_Alison_ThisIsHeavy.gif

    That's 6 games flipped from L to W, so assuming none of those came against those who are chasing them, 7.5 games. "Realistically", probably in the neighborhood of 8.5 games.

    I'm being lazy and not checking for myself, so someone tell me how much of a division lead the Cubs would have if they were even just .500 on the road. I have a feeling like the answer might make me have a minor stroke.

    Gotta rack up some wins with Road Cobs lurking all like...

    Wow. What a perfect time to use that one. I think we’re finally gonna go on like a 15 of 20, 20 of 28 or so run here. Which would include somehow winning and splitting road series.
