  1. You wanna do some dumb crap against us? horsefeathers you, we will destroy you you will get no basehits
  2. Good at bat for Zobi They're certainly seeing the ball well
  3. Only multiple massive dingers will make up for this infraction
  4. I really hope this game isn't annoying It looks like Miguel Gonzalez sucks, and they're hitting rockets, and they're catching it. Continue doing that and pound this fool
  5. Guess Fowler really is feeling pretty crummy because I'm shocked with a DH available we opt to put Contreras on the field. Pound these fools.
  6. Keep Rondon at Closer, both because it doesn't matter that much and I don't want to give him the sads over moving him from closer for a dude that is only going to be here for 2 months and I'd rather Chapman be the fireman that comes in and get you out of jams Now you got two of those dude with Strop and Chapman, which is nice
  7. I like Duke's post about how if we had Chapman last year it would have made exactly zero difference in the series against the Mets There are tons of situations where having another shutdown reliever doesn't move the needled at all - like if you're blowing out your opponent, or you're being blown out.
  8. thank you, that's the guy I was thinking of earlier. I was still scouring the Brewers roster, forgetting he's the one who helped kill Schwarber Hate that guy. Jean Segura also joins the Billy Hamilton Club of Extremely Mediocre HItters who Inexplicably Kill the Cubs
  9. It would be entirely appropriate if they could get an extension with it, its impossible for us to know that right now
  10. It is nice that Clayton Richard will never ever again touch a mound for the 2016 Chicago Cubs my hate for him is entirely outsized his actual talent and performance
  11. I think they have much longer than a 2 year window (they will need to find a couple new starters in the next couple years, that can be accomplished with money and other trades pretty easily)
  12. He did have a pretty decent spot start there This is a bad trade but far from disastrous and will be a blip in terms of future success unless like 3 disastrous infield injuries occur in the next 5 years Theo wants to weigh that roulette wheel ever more slightly in our favor and clearly doesn't feel *entirely* too safe with the division/home field lead.
  13. I still can't get over how much the supposedly objective nerdy stat guys just outright are consumed by emotions to drive them to really bad conclusions about the Cubs. Insecure Nerd Guys are just as bad as Insecure Meatball Guys
  14. The Anti-Schwarber Hate is getting stronger and stronger and they're all gonna look really silly next year
  15. If Grimm is the last guy in your bullpen you have a very good bullpen So that'll be fun to watch at least
  16. Well thinking about the last week or so, adding Montgomery and Chapman makes the bullpen absurdly better (both from addition and addition from subtraction by taking really bad players out of the bullpen and moving lesser RP to more fitting positions)
  17. If the deal is what was announced on the Score right now, Gleyber Torres, Adam Warren and 2 others for 2 months of Chapman and no guarantee of an extensions, it's absolutely terrible from a baseball perspective. Christ
  18. Yes. It feels like we've lost 3-4 of exactly that game during the bad stretch, but we flipped the tables this time. Winning 3 series in a row from the break is good. Nothing spectacular, just slow, steady, .666 ball
  19. Can we please for gods sake stop trying to steal? I think we're going to win this game but this is infuriating
  20. Travis Wood throwing a whole bucket of water on our parade
  21. Perhaps recording an out would be a good start
