As frustratin as base running mistakes are, everyone has to understand the Cubs make fewer than most teams, are exceptionally smart on the bases and Maddon almost never calls for a bunt. Heck, part of him calling for a bunt in what amounts to garbage time is merely seeing what he's got available to him for the playoffs (in that way, it failing disastrously bodes well for the playoffs) Watch a White Sox game sometime, friends. They make more egregious mental errors in a game than we do in a week. We're fine.

Jose Macias was like off-brand Neifi. funny thing is neifi was a worse hitter by a decent margin. which isn't surprising, i guess, because isn't neifi basically the worst hitter ever? If you can't OPS more than .800 just once in 5 years at Coors in the early 2000s, then, man....you're terrible

Bumgarner at 100 pitches, seconding soccer here, it'd be nice if he was done now
-
oh lordy lordy lordy something spicy is cooking
-
How about a donger and a lead here
-
If he can't throw it for strikes, why would you?
-
I don't know if there's a single game that Baez hasnt made some insanely athletic beautiful play somewhere on the baseball diamond
-
I am glad that if we face them in the playoffs we don't see him until game 3 or 4
-
Awww yeah Jake with the bat. Game really 1-1 in my head canon now (lol)
-
Wow these game threads are real uneventful lately
-
Magnificent at bat by Contreras
-
I'm really piling on here but I hate La Stella at third
-
haha i didn't realize Neifi had the same number as Castro. Thats an interesting parallel here, Neifi being one of the biggest targets of hate (deservedly so) and Castro a fan favorite. I hated Dusty as much for his bizarre fascination with terrible players as much as anything else
-
Batting average doesn't matter for meatballs, if and only if, you're talking about Todd Frazier
-
Did we ever have Sean Marshall and Rich Hill both healthy AND starting at the same time? Because of them had those purrty lefty curveballs that i loved so dearly
-
Didn't the swear filter on here sensor a word with "Bob Howry" at one point? What word was it? I'm looking at his numbers and I can't believe how bad he was in 2008 on a great team and still got over 70 appearances. Sheesh. I think he was the guy that blew in the game in the top of the 9th against the Rockies that gave way for the Alfonso Soriano walk off hit
-
Y'all. I can't believe how beaten down some of you have been. We're going to have several more 100 win seasons in the next decade. This franchise is set up for Second-Half-of-the-90s-Yankees good
-
I remember Will Ohman and Bob Howry as this comedy duo, for some reason
-
oh I should hope we have more seasons like this, I mean, the team and management is set up to have many more seasons like this Don't think like a Cubs fan. Think like a fan of a team run by Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer

*The Big Lebowski voice* The Bums Will Always Lose
-
Come on, give in, bums
-
if that Demon Hunter Pence beats us I will destroy many things in my office
-
Eh I can't get mad about a DP lineout Like everything else about Heyward's season: its just unfortunate, in all ways
-
How many players did we just burn there (zero?) i'm not sure how this works
-
*completely irrational and unfair voice* it wouldn't hurt the cubs to rally and score more runs
