    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.

    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

    The Anti-Schwarber Hate is getting stronger and stronger and they're all gonna look really silly next year

    If Grimm is the last guy in your bullpen you have a very good bullpen So that'll be fun to watch at least
  5. BigSlick
    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)

    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

    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

    ..... R u serious right now
  9. BigSlick
    Can we please for gods sake stop trying to steal? I think we're going to win this game but this is infuriating

    Travis Wood throwing a whole bucket of water on our parade

    Just checked the score. Cool.

    lol
  13. BigSlick
    Perhaps recording an out would be a good start
  14. BigSlick
    Auspicious start for Nathan

    I don't get how every line drive Heyward does manage to hit gets caught

    5 runs against the hideous Brewers in 2.5 games ain't great
  18. BigSlick
    This team despises lead off baserunners
  19. BigSlick
    This guy just walked Jon Lester, who is one of the worst hitting pitchers I've ever seen We have no excuse for not pounding him into dust
  20. BigSlick
    Lester is at 56 pitches already, Jesus Christ

    *holds giant sign that reads "COMMIT FEWER OUTS"*
  22. BigSlick
    You don't have to just commit so many outs
  23. BigSlick
    Obv the most predictable thing in the world is for me to be the happiest with a lineup all year and it to not score

    [tweet] [/tweet] Now this is fascinating. Obviously the substitutes for Fowler were significantly worse hitters but I'm drawn to the "scoring only 1 baserunner out of 61" stat. How unimaginably unlucky must we have been to register that few runs? If that stat increases to something that is merely Bad like, 5 out 61, and not Damn Near a Complete Blackhole of Zero Runs, we probably win several more games going into the break and it doesn't even seem like that bad of a stretch. 1 out of 61 base runners. Mind boggling.

    [tweet] [/tweet] It's the super offense lineup!
