  1. Instead of watch the rest of this game i watched Rocketman with my dad. I made the wrong call
  2. It should be illegal for line drives to not be hits imo
  3. It’s good that the opposing pitcher is Bad as well
  4. Get two back here and we’re talking Talking about Lester given up a whole bunch more in the future most like but I like a temporarily competitive game
  5. It's worth pointing out: The Cardinals are a bad team
  6. He’s really been unbelievable as a Cub. Wasn’t he in the straight up 5+ ERA territory as a Ranger (though to be fair that park isn’t great for any pitcher)
  7. More runs could be good. We're still in Bullpen Danger Territory. To be fair to get out of Bullpen Danger Territory you need something like 7 runs
  8. Almora is really the player you want least in the 8th spot isn’t he? He refuses to take a walk, and it’s the spot where pitchers are the most likely to pitch around to, thus allowing the most amount of walks as they try to get to the pitcher Now in old school Bad Common Sense Baseball maybe that would appeal to a manager because that player would Get That Run In but well, it’s bad
  9. Baez is gonna hit 40 dongers this year, the magnificent bastard
  10. Nothing makes me happier than disappointing David
  11. this happens literally every time we play some random schmuck who has no tape on him.
  12. my beautiful cubs baby boys. you don't have to lose this game just because its the last game of a series. you can do this
  13. I totally forgot the Cubs can't hit pitchers that were just called up and have no MLB experience
  14. Ted Nugent may be a deranged lunatic but Stranglehold is an awesome song and iirc didn't Rivera or some other bigtime closer used to come out to it?
  15. To add to your dislike, a gentle reminder that Russell is playing at a ~4 fWAR pace extrapolated to 500 PAs. Descalso will be lucky to get to above replacement level. oh my god my stupid eyes saw the squiggly and thought it was a negative sign, nevermind I will say Fangraphs projects out to a ~2 fWAR for Russell with some regression. We shall see, but regardless, on purely baseball moves, he should be out there over Descalso's corpse
  16. Descalso makes me yearn for Heywards 2016 bat Everybody else kicks ass though
  17. As a person who routinely doesn’t pay enough attention to what’s going on, I thought Kimbrel was coming off an injury and that’s why he hadn’t signed a deal until now. It never ever occurred to me that he could be fully healthy and not find a deal with anyone more than two months into the season. It doesn’t speak highly of the labor compact in MLB if a top of the line player at his position can’t get a deal made until June because of the teams stonewalling him and the whole draft pick thing.
  18. The David Bote Game, No Not The Grand Slam One, The Other One
