  1. There is only one rule they should institute and it would have a cascading effect that would improve all aspects of baseball people supposedly gripe about: institute the pitch clock ok actually I may be pro Robot Umps too
  2. Haha this kicks ass. 8 walks but a no-no is a no-no
  3. lol this would rule
  4. Hrm. I shouldn’t have said anything
  5. This is all going about as ideally as possible for a game 1 in a 4 game set
  6. It would be hilarious if Davies got a no-no while walking like 10 dudes
  7. What do you even do with KB. Sit him for a week? Legitimately don’t know what to do. Everyone’s awful
  8. The incapacity of this team to record base hits, the fundamental building block of baseball, is impressive Edit: I love a reverse jinx
  9. Bryant has been really really bad lately. It’s not a great sign
  10. absolutely embarrassing and unacceptable performance
  11. As someone who grew up in Arlington Heights its extremely weird to think they're actually a possibility to host the Bears. It would be bad and weird, and the """"downtown"""" of Arlington Heights would be totally inappropriate for a pro football team. However I'm sure some property developers are absolutely salivating at the thought. The real thing they should do is demolish the spaceship and rebuild SF to be exactly the same as it was pre-renovations, but with better accommodations.
  12. There's a fangraphs article about how you're better off not swinging a single time against DeGrom and I'm here to say: Just do that
  13. I love that Fields is rolling with jersey number 1.
  14. Hope springs eternal. Go Cubs!
  15. he sucks really bad
  16. Given this appears to be one of the most lopsided pitching match ups we've seen this year, I'm fairly confident the Cubs romp in a blow out
  17. I thought we’ve all learned this isn’t a thing. Didn’t we all learn it wasn’t a thing like 15 years ago? Make the playoffs and take a spin on the Playoff Roulette wheel. Of course it could happen. But the chances are slim with a weak rotation that doesn’t throw hard. If you plan on signing the core, go all in. If you aren’t, continue the rebuild and acquire prospects. The chances are slim if you’re the undisputed best team in the league. The playoffs are a crapshoot. Take as many swings at the piñata that you can get.
  18. You’re hurting like .172 dude. What could the shot even do that would hurt your stock right now. Maybe the Bill Gates microchips it inserts into your bloodstream will help.
  19. I don't care if they are good. They aren't winning the World Series good and if you aren't going to sign Baez or Bryant or Rizzo, trade them all with Kimbrel before July 1. There is good regular season baseball and there is good playoff baseball. Just like when the Cubs beat up on the Mets in 2015 and got hammered in the playoffs because the Mets have better starting pitching. I thought we’ve all learned this isn’t a thing. Didn’t we all learn it wasn’t a thing like 15 years ago? Make the playoffs and take a spin on the Playoff Roulette wheel.
  20. Are the Cubs Actually Good? I don’t want to get my hopes up too high but we’re a significant chunk into the season and they keep winning, have the best RD by a significant margin in the division. The Fangraphs projections still have them a big underdog in the division for the rest of the season, which annoys me. It’s too bad they hobbled themselves with the unnecessary payroll shedding in the off season huh.
  21. How bad can Jason Heyward play before he just gets permanently benched because I’m way past that point
  22. This would be extremely dope for me because I got tickets for the first time in my life to see a Bears home game
  23. can we never horsefeathering have another west coast trip ever again
