    Dear god

    I just saw Jayson Werth has a 46 game on base streak. I thought he was pretty cooked as a player when we last played them, and I when I went to look at his numbers I expected to see them vastly improve, what with the streak and all, but he still only has a 108 OPS+. That means he must have been extremely consistently just OK for 46 straight games.

    we're like 4-5 bad pitches from having 22 in a row

    I miss ragin' Ted Lilly, the soft-spoken bad ass

    They have sucked mightily since the break. The Dodgers starters are putting up around. 5.00 era since the break and have still passed SF in the standings The Mets, Giants and Dodgers all taking turns being bad makes me feel really good at the NL. All of these things can only play incremental roles in our chances in the playoffs, but I'll take increments, damnit

    Having a multiple run lead going into the 9th doesn't really qualify as an 'escape' this is a solid 95% chance win type game. Annoying stuff going on with our pitchers, Joe testing poor Spencer and poor Spencer breaking under the pressure. It is what it is.

    Uh huh

    10 walks by the Cubs today

    Keeping Patton out there for a 3rd inning seems very cruel
  15. BigSlick
    Its cool that Kris Bryant has two "Kris Bryant Games" this year
  16. BigSlick
    This is kind of a terrible spot to use Patton but Joe really likes to test his new RP by throwing them into the fire
  17. BigSlick
    That's his 2nd homer of this series. I still don't know who he is
  18. BigSlick
    ok just sit Jake, this is over

    Yeah its hard to draw conclusions as you said. The Cubs 'slumped' to a .330-335 OBP team in June and July (assuming you can draw a conclusion that higher OBP = more pitches seen per AB). During that period they disproportionately played a lot of good teams and faced a lot of good starts and the schedule was road heavy. Now they've spent almost 6 whole weeks at home and have played some bad teams. They were also forced to start players like Albert Almora because of injury, players who do not take many pitches. Ugh

    I should blame myself for thinking that 2015 2nd half Jake Arrieta was what we'd get from here on out, forever. Even Struggling-With-Control Arrieta is better than 95% of the pitchers in the National League, but I still find myself frustrated and mournful. This is my personal failing. I apologize, but can do nothing about it. EDIT: Also following the pitchtrax on Gameday and Arrieta is not getting very many favors on his zone when he's close
