No GM in the world trades Schwarber for Miller , let alone Chapman.
-
Where did it miss?
-
Man, Lester looks absolutely miserable.
-
Well done bullpen, well done.
-
horsefeathers our trash bullpen
-
For the love of god Cahill, stop getting behind everyone.
-
Throw strikes, jesus.
-
Wow, great win. They had all the momentum in the world going against them after that 3-3 tie and they were starting at 0-2 going into a Strasburg start.

Good AB by Russell
-
Way to waste 3 pitches in a row
-
Nice zone ump. Scherzer isn't good enough as is.
-
Russell really needs a day or two to himself.
-
I don't know that I've ever seen 3 filthier innings pitched than that.
-
Unfortunately I was sick pretty much all day and didn't get to see this one, I really would have liked to.

His last 3 appearances 1/3IP 5H 5ER 1BB 0K. Combine that with a 5.57ERA and 4.56FIP and you can't feel at all comfortable with him coming into tight games. Is there anything about this 41-18 team you feel comfortable with? Is there no downtrend that you're not willing to completely ignore? Yeah it's amazing that they've put together a 41-18 record, but that's because the SP has masked a lot of the glaring problems.

You are smarter than this. His last 3 appearances 1/3IP 5H 5ER 1BB 0K. Combine that with a 5.57ERA and 4.56FIP and you can't feel at all comfortable with him coming into tight games.

Down to Rondon and Strop as reliable relievers, not good.

At worst we're looking at a stretch where the offense is just good instead of amazing. It's not like they're suddenly "un-adjusting" every 2-3 games, so since were not actually not seeing a sustained stretch of struggling offense, I really don't understand stressing out like this game is indicative of a larger, continuing problem. It's a long season and even the best teams have periods where they look mortal, or even bad, and this isn't even the latter right now. Yeah, this 23-game stretch, which was totally randomly selected has seen us play to a 14-9 record. The horror. Just for the record, May 15 was selected because it was the middle of the month, it had nothing to do with skewing stats as I didn't even look at the games prior to May 15.

This offense just hasn't been good for a while now. Since May 15th, a 23 game stretch, they've averaged 4.21 runs per game. During that stretch 13 of those games had 3 runs scored or fewer. Comparatively, 4.21 runs per game would place them 15th in baseball compared to the rest of the teams season long runs per game.
-
Pitching backwards and challenging them. The Cubs have shown zero ability to adjust to it.
-
Adonis Garcia is busy channeling Brooks Robinson
-
24.8% K rate since May 15, 101PAs.
-
Making a terrible pitcher look real good right now.
-
Let's not forget that every comp has to be a player of the same race. Hell, Harold really had to reach back a few decades in order to keep his race related comps alive with that Oddibe McDowell comparison.

Krook, Bichette,Kyle Cody are all guys I'd love to have. So much for Bichette
