    Expecting a Verlander level bump out of Hamels is a bit much and a ridiculous expectation, but didn’t Verlander have an ERA in the 4s when he was traded? He just had like 2-3 good August starts before the Astros gave him their special sauce? I’m just telling myself Hamels needs to be better than Chatwood to temper my expectations.

    He’s had almost a full week under Hickey’s tutelage, expect greatness
  3. Cubswin11
    Right, but I don't think Russell is keeping Javy from playing more and Russell is still valuable and plays the SS position better than Javy does.
  4. Cubswin11
    He’s playing the right amount there for as frustrating as Russell has been he’s still plenty valuable and the margin isn’t small on defense between the two at SS. What shouldn’t be happening is Zobrist/LaStella playing over him at 2B vs RHP while Almora plays.

    I’d always rather be up in the L column. Like you said, you can’t make those up and I view the L column difference pretty much as important as actual games up/down
  6. Cubswin11
    I’m gonna go out in a limb and say we have a 2 to 4 game lead (I believe that would be 4 to 6 in L column or so) by end of games Sunday

    All this time we thought the VBs were frauds, maybe the Dodgers are bigger frauds with Muncy, Kemp, Taylor, Hernandez, Bellinger etc all actually being mostly garbage players.
  8. Cubswin11
    Just sweep the Dodgers and make their playoff chances less. We’ll just have to take care of the VBs by ourselves

    Wade Miley, somehow Sandy Koufax

    I didn’t realize it until this was pointed out to me recently but Butterfield does get ridiculously far down the line and Jesse seems to think that played a role in Russell not round 2B the best because he couldn’t pick him up.
  11. Cubswin11
    They likely are but also 6-7 is really not that bad of a “tough stretch” and obviously yes it’s a problem if it turns in to like 25-28 the rest of the way or whatever is left

    I think I’ve posted before but replay was never intended for calls like that........ If your body is over the bag and you reasonably hold the base you should be safe if you beat the initial tag. If you just go slide through or like flop way off to the side that you can’t reasonably hold the bag and are tagged you can be called out if the initial tag doesn’t beat you but you get subsequently tagged
  13. Cubswin11
    It was dumb as hell he was out but even with some shitty running around 2B Russell was basically safe. I didn’t mind him going to 3B there. Him on 2nd with no outs would’ve been tough to get in anyways

    What a stupid horsefeathering game. Everything went wrong that could. Oh well, go get em tomorrow
  15. Cubswin11
    Unreal
  16. Cubswin11
    Russell is our best hitter, clearly
  17. Cubswin11
    It’s a good thing Joe kept the lefty with a near .900 OPS vs RHP on the bench tonight and decided to give Almora every at bat vs them instead
  18. Cubswin11
    Wilson was a fine option in that spot* *Ducks and I horsefeathering hate Wilson
  19. Cubswin11
    Good thing we saved Schwarber to face Rivers/Vasquez in the 9th instead of PH’ing him that inning
  20. Cubswin11
    Happ has had a really nice night
  21. Cubswin11
    Not PH’ing Schwarber for Almora here is so dumb
  22. Cubswin11
    Chavez being so good for us and Hamels numbers outside of Coors Jr is giving me some irrational hope about Hamels.
  23. Cubswin11
    Somehow score, idiots
  24. Cubswin11
    At least we still have the waiver deadline to be sellers
  25. Cubswin11
    I hope we come back from commercial break and Rizzo is throwing blows with Hurdle
