Spectacular job Cubs. After a month of scuffling baseball I’m very happy to see you all back to form. also big time props to Matt Shaw who struggled mightily, stuck with it, and has emerged as a real offensive force. You love to see it.

Gosh dang it

Woof You gotta throw strikes my man

I don’t get why Nico isn’t a contender for lead off? He’s got a .370 OBP since the ASB, he’s been one of the few very consistent hitters on the team
-
It’s funny that everyone was mad at Jed for not doing two big things at the trade deadline: get a top of the line starting pitcher or a 3b bat. And then, the Cubs have REALLY struggled since the ASB… and yet, how are the Cubs struggling? Well it’s not starting pitching, where they’ve had a run of excellent starting pitching since the ASB, and it’s not 3B where Matt Shaw has been their best hitter the last month+, it’s every other facet of the team completely collapsing. strange how things work

There’s a common misconception about “regression to the mean” that one can expect that if a player (or a team, or a roulette wheel or whatever) exceeds expectations that you can expect them to play worse as they “regress” to the mean. But that’s not what a regression to mean is. Let’s say we have a player who’s “true” (if such a thing exists) talent level is a .270 batting average. And let’s say they are blessed by the BABIP gods and hit .330 for the first half of the season. That players regression to mean isn’t to hit worse and to level those numbers out - if he were to regress it would be to hit closer to .270 again. Now of course you can expect there to be cold streaks along with hot streaks. And baseball players aren’t random number generators. But it’s important, I think.

I do have to say it’s insanely annoying to know where to watch NFL games. Every week it’s a scramble for me to figure out where the Bears game is airing and more often than not I just illegally stream it.

Season flow status: better!

Good job boys First time I’ve been pleasantly surprised of this team since like…before the All Star Break

Oh man this is gonna be a bad game

Assume the Cubs get swept for the final 4 games and you’ll feel better if they can squeeze one win out of the week
-
Season flow status: It's only gotten worse

I don’t read “vaunted” as a mocking title, they’re vaunted because they consistently beat us and win division title after division title
-
Lmao I had to do a work meeting and they were down 3-0 and now I saw the score Spiritually an 83 team. Nothing more, nothing less
-
lmao what a bunch of losers
-
hmm.... 8 straight balls is probably not ideal i have to say
-
team playing like a bunch of dead dogs
-
well this isn't starting off swimmingly
-
Yes, provided we give them as much credence as preseason performance. Like, it is funny that we (and I'm including myself here) clung so much to all this armchair analysis of Justin Fields and how secretly amazing he actually was, and then the last two years show that basically nobody in the NFL thinks too much of him really
-
I'm so annoyed they didn't IL him for 15 days. what an idiotic move
-
Obviously this is the preseason and etc etc but the Bears have never looked this efficient in a game regular season or preseason maybe…ever? willing to let myself get a bit excited. If nothing else I have complete confidence Ben Johnson knows how to call a play.
-
Hell yeah
-
This is the kind of rationalization I make when the Bears play.
-
For the first time in like a month the Cubs have gained a game on the Brewers, now pulling bravely up to 8 games back. go cubs!
-
Alright well. Fine.
