  1. they've decided to punish him for his blessed april
  2. god i can't believe we're (almost certainly, knock on wood i dont want to jinx anything) to have a game 5 elimination game on saturday. that's so cool
  3. baseball is good again a-wooo (wolf howl)
  4. great low stress inning. two more of those please
  5. For one night I will withhold my Matt Shaw hate. he's been good tonight.
  6. I’m sad Schwarber isn’t a cub anymore the last member of the 2016 crew still standing, and the only one we should have held onto
  7. they're alive, which is all that matters. closer than it needed to be, but they're alive. see you all tomorrow
  8. Hey remember 3 or 4 innings ago when Suzuki hit a lead off double and the cubs did nothing with it? That’s the only thing that matters now
  9. Shaw has just completely lost the ability to hit after his month long hot streak
  10. The 2025 Cubs have gotten progressively more hateable over the course of the season i dont enjoy watching them, they make me angry
  11. Kinda annoying to work a 3-1 count every at bat and then pop up/ground out softly every time
  12. God the brewers are so ANNOYING. It’s one thing to get donged to death by marvelous splendid batsmen, but they’re all .750 OPS mediocre guys who all manage to hit seeing eye singles to beat you
  13. You love to see a screaming liner from Suzuki actually fall in for an XBH. Those just seem destined to end up in an outfielders glove most of the time
  14. Boys: can you hold onto another 3 run lead in the first inning? It can’t be that hard
  15. I've been a Ryan Poles defender for the most part but the fact this team is 4 years into his tenure and talent-wise they really don't stack up with the best or even mediocre teams in the league is pretty damning. It's cool that he fleeced the Panthers in one of the most lopsided trades in the history of the NFL but you gotta do more than just accumulate draft capital, you also have to spend it wisely, and he's been subpar on that.
  16. It’s tempting to really scramble for explanations of managerial mistakes when your team does poorly in a playoff season but at the end of the day managers can only do so much and are operating in an extremely constrained space. Our two best starters are injured. We had to win a WC series to move on. Nothing is even close to ideal. once you get here it’s like 80% luck/baseball and 5% maybe something you can influence. Don’t ask me about what the final 15% is.
  17. Can Dennis Allen will this defense to being merely bad and not disastrous? That will be the coaching accomplishment of the season if so. They’re currently buoyed by forcing/accepting 4 turnovers a game, which is not something that’s sustainable. Can Ben Johnson accelerate the development of the offense to being decent to good as soon as possible? If both of those things can happen, like, now, they can still be in the postseason race by the really tough stretch at the end of the season. Odds are absolutely against that. But, if they can thread the needle, it would be a huge notch in their belts.
  18. Ok. I think thats the nail in the coffin - the Cubs aren't gonna win this series. Its written in the stars: We're not allowed anything nice. The second something good happens to us they respond IMMEDIATELY. We aren't allowed even a half inning of peace. That's a bad sign. Brewers get to be the team of destiny, thats fine. They've certainly deserved it for a while.
