    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

    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

    this happens literally every time we play some random schmuck who has no tape on him.

    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
  9. BigSlick
    I totally forgot the Cubs can't hit pitchers that were just called up and have no MLB experience
  10. BigSlick

    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?

    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

    Descalso makes me yearn for Heywards 2016 bat Everybody else kicks ass though

    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.

    That was definitely a Cubs Rockies game
  16. BigSlick
    Oh for fucks sake man

    Zobrist's piddly 9 million dollars is stopping us from making baseball moves? Seriously the Ricketts can go horsefeathers themselves
  20. BigSlick
    Good job Corbs
  21. BigSlick
    No horsefeathering way :twisted: 8-)
  22. BigSlick
    hmmm its ok to pull Lester now and just get the win ok
  23. BigSlick
    I feel like complaining that we couldn’t hit a barn door last series against our hated rivals but I’ll take any sign of life

    This is the situation: We could probably find a decent defensive catcher who would probably struggle to put up a .700 OPS Putting Contreras in LF denies you a good bat at Catcher, but we may not have anyone else that can put up .800+ OPS in the OF anyway. Is the difference in value made up there? Ideally you have *two* people who can put up an .850 OPS in both positions. I tend to think you keep him there and do your best to find a good bat for the outfield. I don't think his receiving is disastrous or really the main cause of struggles in our pitching staff, but I don't know how to read the numbers nor how dependable they are.

    dont worry, theo is already working on new urgency slogans for next march 6th in the majors in wRC, 4th in wOBA, 3rd in OBP. I can't even imagine the outrage among the other 83% of the league that has been worse than us this year. i'm not falling for these so called 'numbers' you warlock
