  1. Baseball is one of the only sports where the “defense” (pitching) is the initiator of the action, and the offense is the one that reacts. Which really does set the sport apart. of course I 99% of the time think getting too cute with your lineup rather than just putting the best 9 guys out there is a mistake.
  2. I don’t think it’ll matter hugely in the long run but I don’t love sitting a guy (for an inferior player) who is finally emerging offensively. Let him cook.
  3. Destroy this team and then raid their roster for whatever of value remains
  4. Not surprised at all about offensive struggles early on in training camp. If they're still problems at the end of training camp and into the preseason I'll be maybe 1% worried but theres really no way to know anything until the season starts.
  5. Unfortunately Cubs, you have to sweep this team. Good luck!
  6. I dunno why but I'm reminded of Ryan Braun and just how much I hated that guy for over a decade. Hate that dude.
  7. I think the present teams are roughly equivalent (which is kind of obvious to say given they have virtually the same record) - the Cubs have a better offense, the Brewers have a better pitching staff. Probably, the Cubs pitching will improve as people come off the IL and people are acquired, and there’s really no commensurate improvement to be found in the Brewers, but who’s to say! Baseball is a dumb and evil sport.
  8. Well that sucked but if there’s any silver lining perhaps we are seeing the Emergence of one Matt Shaw
  9. How do you know there are teams out there willing to make a deal yet?
  10. the game is lost but i'm sorry i'm gonna NEED you idiots to hit some home runs here. one of the worst offenses in the league is teeing off and getting dongers, I REQUIRE DONGS
  11. he is the spiritual reincarnation of Javy Baez in all his beautiful strengths and weaknesses
  12. Thats a Salvador Perez special. I looked it up on Gameday and yeah, that's a borderline inside strike at best. Can't get too mad when a guy just freakishly mashes that out. Can our boys do that?
  13. we definitely need our big hitters to act like big hitters again
  14. is this Pasquantino guy any good. why is he acting like babe ruth up there
  15. you are NOT allowed to lose a home series to these bums, so figure it out boys
  16. I know this is how Rich Hill has stayed in the league so long but HOW can you not just clobber a 69 MPH curveball every time
