    Seiya SUCKZUKI
  2. Derwood
    Can't be worse than Seiya has been
  3. Derwood
    Give Seiya a series off. Seriously.

    Priester isn't fooling anyone right now
  5. Derwood
    Nice start for Rea
  6. Derwood
    Hey, no one struck out. Progress!!

    Someone needs to remind Seiya that he was crushing the ball when he was aggressive in the zone. SInce the ASB, he just leaves his bat on his shoulder until he has 2 strikes, then K's a ton. .135 average with 12 K's

    Seiya, Tucker and Busch aren't going to struggle forever, but would be nice for at least ONE of them to get hot. Seiya is the biggest concern for me, as he's striking out a ton. Tucker is at least drawing walks and making contact

    I didn't watch much baseball between around 1984-1992. I had been a Brewers fan (sorry) for the two years I lived in Racine (one year they went to the WS and lost to Cardinals). Robin Yount was my favorite player as a 7 year old. When I moved to State College, my fandom was pretty much 100% Penn State football. It wasn't until 1992 when I moved to Chicago for college that I got back into baseball. Part of it was having a friend who did baseball simulations on his computer, which lead to a lot of fun fantasy drafts, etc., and part of it was all the day baseball. The Cubs were bad, and on any given afternoon we could just walk to Wrigley and buy $10 tickets right before the game started. If we were bored, we'd just go watch a game. That obviously all changed with the Sosa/McGwire home run chase, and it's never been the same since. So I got to see Sandberg (and Grace, and Dunston, etc.) play on some terrible teams in the mid-90's. I can't say I was as big a fan as those of you who grew up with him (Sosa was my first real "favorite"), but I'm happy to have seen him live several times.

    The 2025 Cubs with Paredes (and Smith in the minors) is worse than with Tucker

    Suzuki needs a week off
  13. Derwood
    A convenient argument to never improve the team. Minor leaguers as magical "future hall of famers" is not a way to run a team

    It's pretty cool that no one on this team can hit a fastball anymore
  16. Derwood
    A sweep was worst case scenario in this series, and this game was supposed to be the one that prevented the sweep
  17. Derwood
    Seiya SUCKzuki, amirite?
  18. Derwood

    Oof, Happ
  20. Derwood
    he did that all himself
  21. Derwood
    This has been an annoying game
  22. Derwood
    Yelich took three “balls” that were closer to the zone than strike three to Kelly.
  23. Derwood
    Bases loaded, 0 outs. Catcher can drop strike 3, step on the plate, then around the horn for a triple play. That's why it's a rule
  24. Derwood
    Not sure why.
  25. Derwood
    8 straight balls, then gets 3 outs in 7 pitches. Just like how we imagined
