  1. counsell is the first manager to bring in a lefty reliever to face a lefty batter. 5D chess.
  2. if zaidman and sutcliffe somehow become the cubs tv booth, I would have no choice but to simply stop following baseball.
  3. don’t know if I’ve seen a game so obviously decided by how good the teams are at challenges
  4. I think advanced metrics would show Boyd’s challenge was the worst in mlb this year
  5. those 1 1/2 innings + sutcliffe in the booth have relegated this one to a “follow the score on my phone” status.
  6. those 1 1/2 innings + sutcliffe in the booth have relegated this one to a “follow the score on my phone” status.
  7. four shutout high leverage innings from ryan (?) rolinson and corbin (?) martin, just as it was scripted.
  8. milner + webb in the 8th inning of a one run game is not my preference. these depleted bullpen games were more enjoyable when the cubs were up 5.
  9. but have you heard about webb’s reverse splits? good job offense.
  10. feels like the cubs horsefeathers suck at deciding when to challenge
  11. shaw’s only redeeming quality (as a player and a person) was his 3b defense. since he never plays there now, he’s just a ****** hitter and ****** outfielder/1b/whatever.
  12. I don’t know if “worried” is the word but there has not been really anything good to say about the first 14 games. injuries, literally nobody hitting well except for Nico, bullpen has been garbage. guess the remaining healthy starters have been fine, but I feel like they’re lucky to even by 6-8 with how poorly they’ve played. if they play like this against the tough part of the schedule coming up, they are going to dig themselves a big hole.
  13. that obstruction call was the most "look at me" call i've seen from an ump in a while. wow.
  14. he’s a 32 year old journeyman middle reliever that sucked all spring and has sucked so far this year. he’s fine as the team’s 6th best reliever or whatever, but come on with acting like he’s really good or something. there’s a reason he signed a 1/$1.5 mil contract.
  15. “jacob webb has reverse splits” does not equal “jacob webb is good.”
  16. lost a game that was blown (twice) by the bullpen without using their two highest paid relievers. not ideal.
  17. unless Harvey and maton were both hurt/sick, this was really, really, really bad bullpen management.
