    As expected, making the guy with a 7 era look great.
  2. Tryptamine
    Mancini with the throwing error that was somehow called a hit and not cutting down the lead runner on another play. Is he aware he doesn't want to help Baltimore anymore?
  3. Tryptamine
    Disagree, the contact has actually been improving steadily despite the results, but he's getting incredibly poor babip. His Hard% is 43.1 which is very high and his med% is 32.8. Despite this he's sporting a .218 babip.

    I don't know what to believe anymore. About a week ago I read an article about how Claypool was in a much better place and the staff expected big things from him this year.

    Hernandez from top 100 to not even in the Cub top 20, ouch.
  6. Tryptamine
    I'm interested to see the game score tomorrow because he has to be around 20 blown calls so far
  7. Tryptamine
    This ump is hot garbage
  8. Tryptamine
    Madrigal and his elite bat to ball skills has stuck out swinging on a pitch a foot and a half off the plate in 2 of his last 3 at bats
  9. Tryptamine
    I have to question a person's desire to be happy if they want to be a fan of the Cubs
  10. Tryptamine
    On pace for 68-94 despite the hot start. 100 losses seems very doable.
  11. Tryptamine
    22 runs in the last 9 games, good for 2.44 runs a game. 7 of those 22 came in 1 game.
  12. Tryptamine
    If Mancini puts any hustle at all into that trot, he's sitting at 1B. The 3B actually had time to lob it over and still beat Mancini to the bag.

    I'm honestly fairly pessimistic. The farm has been good, not great performance wise. They have lots of guys who should be solid major leaguers but there's not much superstar upside. I thought that guy was Alcantara, but he's had a pretty disappointing year. Davis is one year from being released and Christian Hernandez is probably off every top 100 board by the end of the season. The major league team just has so many holes and question marks.Even assuming PCA/Amaya are able to fill CF/C in 2024, 3B is still greatly wanting, 1B is a huge question mark with Mervis vastly underperforming. If Stroman and/or Smyly are dealt you basically have Steele, who we may or may not see again in '23, and Wesneski in the rotation. Merryweather and Alzolay have been great, but besides that I'm kind of luke warm on Leiter and while I have high hopes for Estrada, so far he has been basically been a 1 pitch pitcher. The rest can be fired into the sun.

    I think I genuinely dislike this team. There's just no attachment at all.
  15. Tryptamine
    10 minutes too late, but maybe don't walk Ohtani with the best hitter of our generation behind him.
  16. Tryptamine
    Stroman is going to net them a significant prospect.
  17. Tryptamine
    Can they finally break 3 runs in a game?
  18. Tryptamine
    8 runs in their last 5 games. It's almost like this is a terrible offense, which everyone but Jed seemed to know before the season started.
  19. Tryptamine
    This is the single most boring Cub team I can recall. No stars, no exciting young guys in the lineup everyday to dream on.
  20. Tryptamine
    1st and 3rd 1 out results in 1 run on a ball that was almost a double play. The next inning 1st and 2nd with no outs and nothing. How are they just completely inept with risp?
  21. Tryptamine
    Are they reaching historical levels of ineptitude with risp yet?
  22. Tryptamine
    So forgive the ignorance, but as I understand it, the Bears still have to spend a good chunk to get to the lower limit. Is that even feasible with what's left out there? Is it unusual to add that much money at this point in the year where camps have already started?
  23. Tryptamine
    Yeah, go for the sweep because why not just reinforce how baseball makes no sense at all. Cubs getting killed by terrible teams for a month now, but hold the best team in baseball to 1 run over 2 games. Completely and totally predictable.
  24. Tryptamine
    Oakland is on pace to go 34 and 128 and have a negative run differential of 548 runs. They've allowed 80 more runs than any other team in baseball, 391 vs Colorado's 311.
  25. Tryptamine
    So the flukiest fluke that ever did fluke, understood.
