    And now the Cubs are within 1. I feel nothing, however.

    Chatwood starting an inning off with a walk where none of the balls were particularly close to the plate????? When has that ever happened?

    cut daniel descalso now. don't wait until after the game, it'll be too late by then. cut him. clear out his locker, send him on a plane, get him out, he's infecting all of us

    Verdict: the unstoppable force loses
  5. BigSlick
    i think 2 reasons: 1 - they thought his early season stuff in long relief was encouraging and could produce ok enough results against a guy who has been shelled in his first 2 MLB starts. Remember when we used to start guys like Adam Warren and Trevor Cahill and inexplicably it worked? It always seemed to work back then just as it always seems to fail now. 2 - They are in the middle of their most difficult and strenuous stretch of the season and they want to take a chance and help keep the veteran arms like Lester and Cole (and I guess Yu) rested. Of course this goes completely against their "urgency starts in april" mantra they went on and on about in the spring, and even if this was the plan it should have been thrown out the window when Hendricks went on the DL, but who knows what the horsefeathers the FO and manager is doing these days I'm gonna be honest, I only remember Adam Warren and Trevor Cahill sucking

    Carlos Gonzalez vs. a guy with an 8.59 ERA is some serious "unstoppable force meets an immovable object" situation

    It's true, its somewhat unfair to Chatwood that the ball is juiced and balls that wouldn't otherwise get out, are getting out. However, somehow, we continue to struggle to score at all, so it kinda doesn't let anyone else off the hook

    This team will turn me into Sammy Sofa
  9. BigSlick
    Hear me out: have the Cubs considered making offerings to the Red God, starting with perhaps Daniel Descalso and Brad Brach?

    BAD START T-DAWG
  11. BigSlick
    I feel like we lose 80% of the games we start with a lead off homer so I'm not even happy You can't make me happy

    It's not fair to hate someone for being bad at baseball, but I hate, I absolutely despise Daniel Descalso. I know the poor little man is trying his hardest, and given he gets so few at-bats he isn't primarily responsible for any struggles, but the dogged usage of him by Maddon like he's his favorite little toy reminds me of a former manager it reminds me of Dusty Baker
  13. BigSlick
    the team is bad
  14. BigSlick
    I really hate Yu Darvish
  15. BigSlick
    I still don't believe there is any such skill as "hitting with RISP" I just think its mostly bad luck Maybe a little bit of choke. There's certainly no special approach that can change it. Just being better hitters.
  16. BigSlick
    the 2019 cubs have somehow lost 45 games this season that have all looked exactly like this game. i dont know how they've done it, but they've done it
  17. BigSlick
    just an atrocious atrocious half inning. good job guys
  18. BigSlick
    well that was anticlimactic
  19. BigSlick
    ok corbs. just get a run in. nothing special needed
  20. BigSlick
    i feel bad for mike montgomery. he's done so much for us, and he'll always be the dude who closed out the world series but jesus horsefeathering christ does he suck right now
  21. BigSlick
    oh. good job guys.
  22. BigSlick
    cubs really uninterested in adding to the lead huh
  23. BigSlick
    Being six games over and having a -1 run differential is hardly anything special, there are teams that play way worse and end up with way better records, like the 2007 Diamondbacks. The team that should be really upset is the reds with a +48 run differential and a losing record
  24. BigSlick
    ok i cheated, but i do have to join the chorus saying: mike montgomery is 1,000,000 percent not the person to bring in with the bases loaded right there. he's having a terrible year so far and the poor dude needs all the help he can get. i'm glad it worked out but jeez, you're playing with fire with that one
  25. BigSlick
    ok i clearly have to turn the game off because it appears alzolay immediately lost control and everything is turning to horsefeathers, bye guys!
