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
-
Sadly I agree. Burdi could really help them out of the pen this year and I'm a believer he can be converted to a starter.

White Sox just hit a HR grabbing Alen Hansen.
-
WSox having a nice little draft even if I prefer Kyle Lewis over Collins.
-
Such a good pick by the Cardinals, I really hate them.
-
Surprised Burdi is still there
-
I think they made a big mistake not taking Kyle Lewis.
-
BA 5.2 Mock has some crazy jumps and falls. Sedlock all the way up to #17, Rutherford to #19,Manning down to #29 and Groome to #12. While Braxton Garret is up to 7 and Quantrill is 8. Amazing to see Groome listed as the 7th pitcher taken now.
-
So KC is apparently ready to move on from Yordano Ventura. I wouldn't mind acquiring him and throwing him in the pen for the rest of this year and letting him take Hammel's spot next year.
-
Oh god I thought that was a single over Rizzo's head off the bat.
-
Down to 2 reliable relievers. That 3 run bomb probably put Grimm's FIP up over 4.00.
-
Heyward does stuff, yay!

David Wright's bad neck back again

Guy needs to retire before he ends up like those NFL players where just watching them try and walk looks painful.
