Hell yeah. You love to see it

Oh you sweet summer children, OF COURSE Andrew Vaughn will continue to hit like peak Ryan Braun until the end of the season. Have no illusions otherwise.

7/30 - Cubs Trade Deadline Rumors & Discussion
BigSlick replied to Outshined_One's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I’m gonna need Jed to do something right now or I will justifiably lose my mind -
Predictable, embarrassing, pitiful feels like watching the Bears. That’s the worst thing I can say about this team.
-
Well this is an inexcusably bad loss. Ok.

NEWS: Jed Hoyer Agrees to Extension with Cubs
BigSlick replied to UMFan83's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Somehow is pretty funny to announce this during the most anticipated time of year for MLB personnel moves. Ok! Fine! Do some other stuff for the team now!!! -
Assad's my dawg. I don't care what the peripherals say on him, I"m hyped to see him in action again. It does make me think about how particularly unlucky the Cubs have been with their rotation this season so far. We've lost Assad, Steele and lost major chunks of time with Imanaga and now Taillon (who's also been mediocre when healthy). The fact they're tied for the best record in baseball is pretty astonishing in light of that.
-
This is what baseball's about baby. You gotta just enjoy this. I'm up in Door County this week and I'm definitely gonna get rowdy and annoying up here with Brewers fans.
-
Yup I was just thinning if that series. If I remember right that was the season the Brewers traded for a rental CC Sabathia? An awesome series
-
It’s actually pretty fun the Cubs and Brewers are going into this series tied. I’m excited about it. Sure it’ll be stressful, and sure we’d like the Cubs to be playing better ball at this point, but you can’t get better drama than this in July.
-
Cubs are probably gonna take this one but man lately they are fumbling an astronomical amount of runners on base, which generally means the Baseball Gods punish you for your hubris
-
You have to overpay and overextend on years to sign superstars. That’s unfortunately just the terms of engagement. You sign a guy fully knowing the back half of the deal is bad, dead money - but you’re praying the front half is worth it.

Assad, Taillon and Amaya All Close to Coming Off the DL
BigSlick replied to Donzo's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Could we shoot one of Justin Turner/Berti/Brujan into the Sun? I’d rather carry three catchers than any of those guys. -
Great job boys. Glad you could bounce back.
-
Good lord man this is a nightmare
-
I demand the cubs go on an extended heater
-
This is giving me flashbacks to….2006? I think? A similarly horrifically bad crosstown series when the Sox utterly humiliated us, and I think the same series where Michael Barrett clocked AJ Piercynski
-
So far Brujan is a negative offensively AND defensively. An impressively bad player.
-
The cubs should feel bad
-
I don’t know if it counts as criticism or not but he’s definitely our 8th best hitter at the moment, which is sad more than anything
-
Uhhh no. Friends you don’t owe yourselves anything watching this. The whole team is deciding to lose.
-
You know the best thing I can say is this is preferable to a game that’s competitive we blow late
-
Ugh
-
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.
-
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.
