*Marge Simpson disgruntled groan*
-
Ah, yes. Would be nice to score runs before the 9th inning this game
-
I. Demand. Dongs.
-
John Lackey is a good baseball player tbh
-
Oh
-
*whispers* same
-
Someone hit a donger because it's been 21 innings since the Cubs have had a lead
-
Never mind
-
Pound them this inning
-
I can only follow online and I'm glad to see my bafflement is justified

This is really neat. It's also a good thing to point to when people say Soler has been unlucky because...uh...he's just been really bad (and a little unlucky). Predictably Heyward has been pretty darn unlucky, and amazingly, David Ross has been robbed of a bunch of hits. (He's looked like a completely different player this year) Fowler is gonna slowly come back to earth, which is sad, but :hello: thanks for those 40 games of Luck

Counter point; the closer role is overrated so if Nathan miraculously comes back and isn't a dumpster fire the trickle down effect is Rondon pitching in higher leverage spots which is a good thing. I don't care when they pitch, it could be the 7th, 8th, or 9th inning, if they're bad, they're bad

delicious as much damage as they can cause to the rest of the NL, the better. Then they'll go away, never to return, this summer.

Joe Maddon's kryptonite, if he has one, are old over-the-hill closers. He loves em. He loves them waaaaay too much. He did this at Tampa, and he did it a little bit last year. He got burnt by Jason Motte, he kinda got lucky with Fernando Rodney who didn't pitch long enough to come back to earth. This doesn't concern me too much, but its something I'm keeping in the back of my mind.

I wonder how lopsided a situation would have to occur before the Commissioner comes in and just doesn't approve a trade, like when Chris Paul to the Lakers was vetoed on extremely flimsy grounds. I don't think Trout to the Cubs would create such a situation, but it did kickstart a process in my brain thinking about how such a situation would come about.

Seal Boy's been good but strangely become a K machine after not striking out to start his first 30 or whatever at bats
-
Oh well I guess Heyward got his first homer so there's that
-
Wow.
-
sports is gonna sports so hard
-
Don't speak too soon lol
-
Lol I'm gonna ironically join onto the "the Cubs are magically worse against bad teams" bandwagon because it's funny + totally random
-
Lol what is it about Montero that raises the ire of randos? He's a totally useful player I'd take Lucroy on this team though of course
-
Cuz brothers pitching against each other is cool and notable We need this game to happen like, yesterday
-
yeah thats why i said he lost to his brother
