    Thank you Cobs for bouncing back and heating all the bats up Loving to see all the Shaw goodness. Now PCA needs to heat up again.
  2. BigSlick
    Is that good?
  3. BigSlick
    The worse the pitcher is the more inevitable the cubs can’t do anything at all about him Throw any and all scrubs at us
  4. BigSlick
    gutless choking dogs, etc
  5. BigSlick
    I sincerely give up. I can't.

    I'm actually angry they're getting the lead off guy on again this is fake rally horsefeathers. horsefeathers you. i dont believe you. you're not gonna score. or if you do, you will score exactly 1 fewer runs than you need.

    Cubs I don't like to do this to you but you are quickly attaining: Gutless Chokers status
  8. BigSlick
    man the heart of the order has got NOTHING
  9. BigSlick
    can you idiots PLEASE figure out a way to scratch across like, a single run now?
  10. BigSlick
    I've said it before but I'll say it again: The Cubs get really inventive in figuring out ways to not score. They aren't boring about it, they have to find new and exciting ways to destroy excellent scoring opportunities.
  11. BigSlick
    Oh my god what is wrong with this offense we basically are only allowed offense every 3rd game
  12. BigSlick
    Boys I’m gonna need you to not do whatever this is and instead win
  13. BigSlick
    i mean i'm certainly not rooting for it but if Bagent looks awful than we wont.
  14. BigSlick
    it would make me feel really good to see the cubs go on a little winning streak of some kind i've already mentally given up on the NL Central (as irrational as that is) but I just want to see them comfortably above 20 games over .500 and not hovering between 17-20 games over which they've been since like June

    Are joint practices kind of a new thing? I feel like I never heard about them until recently. Seems like it would be kind of hard to navigate because why would you want to give more scouting opportunities to opponents? (Though I assume you almost never have joint practices with teams that are on your schedule that year)

    I don’t for one second believe weight lifting is bad for pitchers and there is zero chance the training regimen they had 50 years ago was better for pitcher health than what happens today we’re simply talking about the extremely rare physical freaks who had HOF careers and longevity and not the thousands of pitchers who washed out in the 20th century

    i am in danger of becoming a Bears Fatalist and just see nothing really working or mattering and the team will just be mediocre-to-bad with flashes of competence every once in a while like a 2001 or 2018 season, but hell, I really do hope that Johnson can break the Bears Spell.

    I think whatever they're doing with pitchers arms is likely better than what coaches and trainers have done in past decades but its an imperfect science and I'll join with the poster above who said there's simply no sure-fire way to reduce injury. This is a world-class sport where pitchers are straining the human body to do things that are nearly impossible to accomplish, you're inevitably going to push people's bodies beyond their breaking point, particularly with the fashionable (and effective) focus on velocity. I feel bad for pitchers. No matter what, these guys are usually doing some massive damage to their bodies by the end of their career. Except for Kyle Hendricks. Good for that guy.
  19. BigSlick
    lol i definitely had it turned off for when he blew up, apparently
  20. BigSlick
    Kittredge has been horsefeathers nails since we got him. both he and Castro have been excellent pick ups so far
  21. BigSlick
    YES. FINALLY
  22. BigSlick
    I know this is how baseball goes. When you’re team’s offense goes cold scratching even one run across becomes a Herculean task. I’ve been watching baseball for 25 years and this is true of every team. but GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY it doesn’t stop being painful
  23. BigSlick
    I said runs runssss plural!
  24. BigSlick
    I’m gonna need yall to get some runs here or we’re gonna have a problem
  25. BigSlick
    I feel bad for both Horton and Imanaga. Playing out of their minds lately.
