  1. BP is doing a goofy pretend it's 2017 thing today What's the reasoning for choosing July 8th as flashforward day? I clicked around BP's website and couldn't find anything.
  2. Holy cow, the Cubs jumped to 21 games over .500 overnight! http://www.baseballprospectus.com/odds/ It's magic! EDIT: For some weird reason, the page says it was updated in 2017, and all the standings are summarily borked up.
  3. That's not all that matters. An inning+ with a 3 run lead or, 3+ innings with any lead will also result in a save if you finish the game. A pitcher recorded a save in the Rangers/Orioles 30-3 game back in 2007 because of this very rule.
  4. Luckily Travis Wood will thwart the Cardinals through a series of well-placed toy cars.
  5. Off to a movie. When I come back I expect we'll have at least scored more than one [expletive] run over the course of nine innings.
  6. Seriously, granting appeals should be mandatory. It takes two [expletive] seconds.
  7. Holy [expletive], we didn't get a clutch hit! How surprising.
  8. No way, we're only facing some rookie lefty with a 5.40 ERA.
  9. Asking a fielder to make an error when he slips on linedrive isn't asking too much, I don't think.
  10. Surely we can score with the heart of our order coming up. Right? Right?
  11. The Cubs just don't get shutdown innings against the Cardinals when they need them.
  12. Russell doesn't know how to hit a line drive. Also, I was away when the offense happened. Hurray!
  13. Beeler is looking solid, actually. Could it be that the Cubs aren't the only team that suck against AAAA starters?
  14. The Cubs should observe as the Cardinals get this clutch hit with the bases loaded.
  15. Naturally, Russell and Castro decide to slump at the exact same time.
  16. Working back-to-back 3-1 counts and getting nothing out of them is bollocks.
  17. Uhhhhh, yeah, they do. Russell's obviously struggling, but that was a really odd thing to say. Just frustration.
  18. No one perfects the art of blowing the leadoff double better than the Cubs.
  19. Russell is really bad right now. Big leaguers don't pop out on consecutive average fastballs over the plate.
