  1. Why are people actively rooting for Maddon to be replaced with a significantly worse manager?
  2. It's butt, because signing a baller hitter would ideally give the Cubs at least a bit more freedom to maybe work out some kind of a trade for a non-butt pitcher. If only we scored 10 runs/game instead of 9.3 runs/game everything would be fine
  3. It's butt, because signing a baller hitter would ideally give the Cubs at least a bit more freedom to maybe work out some kind of a trade for a non-butt pitcher. Not to mention like .... what pitcher did you want them to sign anyway, keuchel? I didn’t want them to sign any pitchers.
  4. I really don't want every Cubs game to look like a Big XII football game
  5. Last year was the first season in MLB history where the league recorded more strikeouts than hits In 2008, there were 11,000+ more hits than strikeouts
  6. Cubs on pace to score 1532 runs and go 54-108
  7. What’s the record for team with the most runs scored but finished below .500? 8.5 runs/game and 1-2 record lololol
  8. Except it won't, because they clearly don't care about winning and NOT signing Harper means they pocket more money. These losses don't even register with the Ricketts. The fans suffer and Tom makes money. Where's the schadenfreude?
  9. It really doesn't though Gonna have to agree with 17 Seconds here. It makes me feel a lot better. Whatever you have to tell yourself...
  10. i understand following the brewers and cardinals, but why do we need to keep track of their good players' numbers? like why would i want to know every time yelich hits a home run Just start a “crying about Yelich and Goldschmidt” thread
  11. He’s just eating them St. Louis-style
  12. All of these player extensions are perfect the ownership's plans. 1) Make free agency unbearable for the players 2) Make players think that team-friendly extensions are WAAAYY better than hitting the open market 3) PROFIT
  13. Let him turn into a pumpkin in Philly
  14. I move to rename this thread: Sammy Sofa was wrong about everything
  15. Can someone explain to me why someone who has been throwing warm up pitches needs to throw 8 more warm up pitches after a 400 foot jog (or, preferably, a 30 second bullpen cart ride)? I get it at the beginning of the inning, but these guys have just thrown at least a dozen pitches usually. If they aren't ready when you make the move, either don't bring them in or deal with the consequences. Only explanation I’ve heard is that the game mound feels different than the bullpen mound and they need some pitches to get s feel for it
  16. Now post their starting rotation... Now or after they Kluber and Bauer?
  17. Well hot damn, first time in years that my Wildcard picks weren't pure insanity
  18. Imagine being the favorites to win the AL Central with this opening day lineup: 1. Leonys Martin (CF) 2. Jose Ramirez (3B) 3. Tyler Naquin (RF) 4. Carlos Santana (1B) 5. Hanley Ramirez (DH) 6. Jake Bauers (LF) 7. Roberto Perez © 8. Brad Miller (2B) 9. Eric Stamets (SS) I get that Lindor is out, but the bottom half of that lineup is a crime scene
  19. Is it that hard to disconnect from the internet for a few hours? Just put your phone away
  20. Brace yourself for the standing ovation he’s getting for his first home AB
