And he won't be hitting them next year (if we're to believe that this juiced ball problem is going to be fixed over the winter) what problem? and who said it would be? as far as i know mlb has not even acknowledged that it's a thing, so saying they'll fix it would shock me. There were a slew of articles in early August talking about how MLB had scientists studying the balls to find out what's going on. I can't imagine that they'll let these balls be used for multiple seasons. Steroid-era HR records are being smashed left and right. It's making a traveshamockery of the sport. -
Nico hadn't had a chance to hit juiced balls yet. And he won't be hitting them next year (if we're to believe that this juiced ball problem is going to be fixed over the winter)

So shocking that red-ass Hurdle is ordering his pitchers to throw at our guys in a meaningless game

Addison Russell: 0.5 fWAR (229 PA's) Nico Hoerner: 0.3 fWAR (23 PA's)

I forgot that Jordan Zimmerman existed, and it seems that he has forgotten how to play baseball https://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=4505&position=P

The top of the first inning comments here are delightful
-
I mean, me neither, but Joe is the SSS King
-
He's hitting .500 against this pitcher

I mean, is Walter White a goofball dad who has three rambunctious kids and a nagging wife?

That's a lot for a paper salesman OHHHH WAIT you are weirdly extrapolating this lousy metaphor to now include the actors' other roles for reasons

Bryant with 69 RBI nice

Cubs are 52-54 since May 14. They have been the definition of “meh” for a long time
-
No one likes Ryan Howard.

I'd be lucky to make it through 3 innings before collapsing from exhaustion/sadness
-
The greater point is that LA seems built to keep this run up much longer than the Cubs are
-
Ha ha ha, yeah! How DARE kids have varied interests! They should devote the entirety of the prepubescent lives to a single thing, mostly to gain the favor of a retired NBA guy

I can 100% see a scenario where Maddon gets canned, the front office decides that it was the manager who sucked, not the players, and come back next year with essentially the same roster and (probably) a worse manager.

Even more annoying than the actual loss is this dumpster fire if a post. The Cubs CAME BACK ON THE ROAD. But they also lost, so Schwarber Fan can pat himself on the back Nope, I’ll take the win and eat crow every time over back-patting. But its obvious that this team doesn’t have that “we never quit” spirit. Most of the time when they get down, they don’t come back. And in a close game late, especially on the road, it’s like everyone is waiting for the shoe to drop. You just get the impression the players feel the same way. Except you posted this during a game where they did, indeed, fight their way back on the road

Nothing is wrong with hotdogs or El Trains, it's just the lazy "what's the thing that we use every time we have a Chicago game" tropes that reduce a city (and this is any city) to a cliche.
-
Can we have a national Cubs broadcast without hotdogs, black cats or El trains? Sports media is lazy
