  1. i know that we really can't blame this on chili davis but im doing it anyway. im sick of them just flailing at dumb pitches just to make any kind of contact
  2. Rizzo jeez save it for a game where we're not down 2-0 already, we need our run in a shutout
  3. it's hilarious how much a stupid 2-0 deficit changed my entire opinion about this team lmao. Before the game im like ok we added a bat, we got hendricks going, we're playing the ass tigers, things are good. then the game started and mentally im just like we're going to finish third in the division
  4. being consistently out sounds like something daniel murphy would hate
  5. murphy isn't into that sort of thing How does Wally act as the verb here? Doesn't make sense. We should try to be grammatically correct in our vastly overplayed and no longer funny jokes. i said what i said
  6. he doesnt want daniel murphy to wally pipp him
  7. bye bithc
  8. go look at what the brewers gave up for schoop compared to this 21-year-old A baller who may or may not exist that we gave up for daniel murphy
  9. Murphy was a 5-war 2B last year who was a serviceable defender there. If you squint you can chalk up his poor defense this year to rust and the process of working back from the knee injury. His bat has been fine since July 1 - .336/.379/.514 he does hate the gays though. Have the cubs already done their pride day
  10. Moises Alou was involved in some way?
  11. did anyone poop in right field
  12. good god i completely forgot brandon morrow existed. how many years did we give him, 9?
  13. Two things I keep telling myself: 1. Outside of the Dodgers, none of the other NL contender offenses are very good. And the Cubs are right with the Dodgers in terms of wOBA, wRC, etc. 2. We should only need the starters to go 4 innings, 5 max. Their main task will have to be avoiding a first inning implosion, which they've been prone to do this year. If we can get one starter per series (my money is on Hendricks) to go 6 or 7 per start, our bullpen should be able to handle short starts by the rest of them. part 2 is exactly why i wish they had tried a little harder at the deadline to add a pen guy rather than horsefeathering kintzler
  14. This means a lot coming from the guy who had a complete meltdown in the 2016 playoffs... in the NLCS... in Game 2. ummmmm actually it was game 3 thanks
  15. I mean, maybe, but you were the guy on an epic freak out bender that I was trying to make bets against during your doom boner sessions back in late 2016. And it worked didn’t it
  16. mega hot take: our front office is average at best
  17. boy russell and wilson can't do anything right
  18. look i condemn all racism ok? ok? but there's very fine people in both fan bases.
  19. heyward/darvish/chatwood is what, $300 million wasted? What a world. It actually makes me wonder if they have the stomach to even sign a Harper this offseason. I imagine what happens is theo pulls a boston and goes all in to sign Harper. if it works out he absolves himself from the horrid heyward, darvish, chatwood deals. If it fails he just leaves. To be fair, as bad as those signings (and the quintana trade) have been, you really can't blame them. Heyward was a 5-war 26 year old, quintana was a 4-war guy on a cheaper than arb deal, and darvish was good value (as long as he didn't die. oops.) Even Chatwood was someone who you would never have predicted him to be worse after leaving colorado.
  20. Chatwood - definitely Darvish - probably just because so much of the perceived value is tied to the first couple seasons Morrow - eh, maybe. It’s not too unexpected though and he’s excellent when out there Cishek - sign 5 of him Don't forget Duensing. ETA: Can't imagine it's only a probably on Darvish. They'd love a $126 million do-over on that one. Most of us would. heyward/darvish/chatwood is what, $300 million wasted? What a world.
  21. quintana should never pitch more than 5 innings.
  22. Man this offseason was just ... it's crazy, out of all the FA signings made by this front office, what percentage of them would they leap at the chance to reverse?
