    Well done Jake
  2. BigSlick
    Oh wow, that shift with Kris Bryant playing basically second base
  3. BigSlick
    Wow, this is one of the first times I've watched a game on ESPN with that superimposed strike zone box and I really dislike it, it totally warps how I think about the strike zone because it's a little off

    Maybe I'm getting cocky, but if we're going for the 4-game sweep it would be kind of awesome to get a chance to knock around Kershaw. Would probably be sticking the chests out pretty far if we 4-game swept the Nationals and Dodgers and had a 5-1 record against Pittsburgh and 4-2 against St. Louis and the biggest division lead in baseball. Would be a cherry on top to do it against Kershaw. Yeah to be honest, for one of the first times in a Cubs season ever, I'd be interested in seeing a team's best pitchers to see how our hitters would do. Almost every other year I'd be rooting for the Cubs to miss the Kershaws and Maeda's of the world, because screw sportsmanship and pride, the games in the standings matter much more and if the Cubs can play someone of a lower talent level, so much the better. This year though, the Cubs have virtually clinched in May, so I'm just interested in seeing what the Cubs hitters can do. Maybe they'll get shut down, certainly Kershaw has shut down basically every else, but a single loss is like, whatever. I'd say this much: I know the Cubs would record a walk against Kershaw, at least. Which is somehow much more of an accomplishment than scoring a run against him.

    Slim pickings in AL Catchers there, Sal Perez seems to be the default choice. Also he may or may not be dead, like how the Royals position players are dropping like flies

    Cubs own, Butters owns
  7. BigSlick
    This Cubs team is very good, it turns out
  8. BigSlick
    Ah jeez, how bad does it look for Hammel? Cramps don't *sound* too bad but woof I know that's a common thing for him

    How dare all of us get excited by the 26 year old potential corner stone player that has for the past 7 years been an above average hitter, elite defender and base runner and could be here for 10 years Instead, bizarrely, compare him to the 37 year old rental that over pitched his peripherals massively last year, who, to his credit, kept it going this year, and is a totally unlikeable [expletive] to boot

    Heyward is also 11 years younger than Lackey. I'm as happy as anyone that Lackey is pitching well (while also being more of a red ass than even I expected so far) but like, Lackey is a stopgap before we find a long term solution starter, Heyward is a guy that's so good at baseball he has been one of the worst hitters in the league and still valuable with his defense and base running.

    Ted Lilly looks like he has a kids face somehow attached to an adult body. A strange lookin dude. And the Cubs will win blah blah blah. I almost ALMOST feel bad for the Dodgers getting a late getaway game and then coming in for a day game in a different time zone. It's kinda unfair but well, too bad LA

    To be honest whatever fluky stuff they got going on hardly bothers me when they're 1 game over .500, buried in the standings and totally irrelevant. Maybe they'll make a push this season but I don't see it. Let em enjoy their random gritty white dudes OPSing .850, I hope they enjoy their 85 wins and being 20 games back in September
  13. BigSlick
    I'm really looking forward to listening to the Score this week
  14. BigSlick
    This White Sox melt down is like 2011 Red Sox quality, but in May
  15. BigSlick
    Butters will have been the game starter for slightly more than 10% of the Cubs wins the last 2 years lol
  16. BigSlick
    Like ski, I'm gonna remember this game and keep it in a little vial to salve my concerns the next time a bunch of dumb stuff happens to the Cubs
  17. BigSlick
    YOU get a hit and YOU get a bit and YOU
  18. BigSlick
    This team is back to strutting around with its amazeballs offense and to be honest it feels great
  19. BigSlick
    Best thing about miggy is how he runs to first base when he gets a walk like an excited little league player
  20. BigSlick
    The White Sox have managed to become the dumbest and most futile team in the majors somehow I don't think managers amount to much (look at Ned Yost) but how does Robin Ventura still have a job?
  21. BigSlick
    Oh my god. Somehow the White Sox have given up 6 runs in the 9th to tie the game against the shiftless Royals who lack Moustakas and Alex Gordon The regression is complete. That team may not be over .500 in a week, what a mess of a roster.

    Fine ass game Hendricks Galvis has joined Wong in Extremely Annoying Flea player ranks
  23. BigSlick
    Gameday is telling me there's a strike out on Howard but people are mad here so I can only presume there are dumb shenanigans about
  24. BigSlick
    Freddy Galvis has become the Nemesis of this series
  25. BigSlick
    Kyle Hendricks oooowwwwnnnnssss
