  1. Jesus, only way Duvall gets that ball is that it's hit directly on a line at him. That was smoked.
  2. With a guy who has been mashing the last week.
  3. Cameraman had me thinking that ball had a chance.
  4. Who are guys that have big contracts to take on that would even make the littlest bit of sense in terms or being available and also making the needle move for us? Not that I endorse it, but with people willing to take on Chapman, you could bring on Braun. Then use Kyle and Soler to land a top line starter.
  5. This I don't understand. As crapshooty as the playoffs were when we were the Murderers' Row Yankees, they are still that crapshooty. So regardless of how you are feeling about the team right now, I don't get being completely down on our chances in the playoffs. This isn't specifically directed at you, because you are a sane person. But I kinda hope this continues and we back into the playoffs with 89 wins and then win the World Series so that the tryptamines of the world have to reconcile this Cubs team winning the World Series and them hating this team for the vast majority of the season. No, I'm capable of being annoyed when a team under performs, being aloof to everything doesn't make you some how special.
  6. I can't keep watching this garbage baseball, stupid game shouldn't make me feel miserable. Pen sucks, offense underwhelming and the ace is broken. The all star break can't come soon enough.
  7. I wonder at what point we drop him in the lineup? Montero and his sub .200 BA is still batting 6th, so I don't know there is a point where it's going to happen.
  8. Sure would be nice to see Heyward occasionally make hard contact.
  9. Just love when our ace is getting out pitched by this fat lipped golem
  10. I expect it from moron casual baseball fans, but not from someone who announces games for a living.
  11. Do they really think this is the only year we get to go for it? Seriously. Is the team moving or folding after this year? Just makes no sense.
  12. What did they say? I've got the radio feed going. Schwarber is an AL type player and if it were me he'd be on the table for Miller/Chapman.
  13. Maybe Buck should be the Yankees GM, he sure is pushing their players hard enough.
  14. Do the announcers actually watch baseball?
  15. Cubs have rocked Scherzer, Gerrit Cole, Greinke, Garret Richards, and I thought thet had a late lead against Strasburg? Was there unearned runs? Those all happened May 6 and before hand when the offense was a monster.
  16. My bad, usually I get bashed the second any time I say anything the least bit negative.
  17. http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/abort.gif At no point shall we ever question the Cubs, understood. It's not like I don't get they're going to win the division, I'm worried about the chances of success once that is over.
  18. We know the pen is bad, but my biggest concern is how easily the offense gets completely shutdown by good pitchers. These are they guys they're going to face in the playoffs. How the Cubs have fared against top 30 pitchers(by fwar) this year. 7/1 Degrom 5IP 3H 1ER 1BB 7K 6/30 Matz 5 1/3IP 7H 3ER 3BB 6K 6/26 Fernandez 7IP 4H 1ER 3BB 13K 6/15 Strasburg 7IP 6H 1ER 1BB 8K 6/13 Scherzer 7IP 2H 1ER 0BB 11K 5/22 Bumgarner 7 2/3IP 3H 0ER 2BB 6K 5/11 Pomeranz 6IP 3H 0ER 3BB 10K 5/8 Roark 6IP 4H 0ER 2BB 7K 5/6 Scherzer 5IP 7H 7ER 3BB 7K 4/9 Greinke 6IP 7H 4ER 3BB 8K The most recent success is off an injured Matz, outside of that the last time the Cubs scored 2 more runs against a top 25 pitcher was back on May 6th. Pitcher's ERA against this offense 2.66, pitcher's ERA without the first Scherzer game 1.65.
  19. Combine that with Oakland signing Lazarito for 3.5M and the two top talents are already off the board.
