    Pedro Strop is the most underrated Cubs relief pitcher/role player ever

    RISP!!

    Seriously. He's turning into a RH Votto. He really seems to be taking another jump.

    Because pitching prospects suck and they never turn in to what they should

    How didn’t LaStella get to 2B there

    I love and hate you so much Javy

    I was driving and listening on the Caritini ground rule double thing. First how is that possible? And second can’t the umpire have discretion and have ruled/given Willy home plate. It doesn’t always need to be just 2 bases, right?

    I saw that earlier, is there a history there or was a Padre hit earlier? 0 outs, 0 on, in the 3rd inning seems like an odd time to be intentionally throwing at a guy. Maybe just chill out not best 3B in MLB. Manny Margot took one square in the ribs last night and Renfroe took one off the wrist the inning before Got it. Baseball is so dumb with these retaliatory things. It makes no sense to keep throwing at guys because someone is going to end up hurt or suspended on your own team.

    One of the Cubs twitter takes I’ve been seeing a lot of over the just okay start is “Joe needs to go because he’s not teaching these guys anything and isn’t coaching these guys because they still strike out too much and can’t hit, etc.” And things along those lines. Which, isn’t that actually what you want your head coach to not be doing? Like that’s the reason they have specialized coaches and a division of labor for all the tasks needed to be done. It’s his job to oversee that and I’d argue his biggest and most important job is to manage the people in the clubhous (which he’s probably the best in the business at doing, in game and lineup moves (which may or may not all be his call), and also act as a conduit from the FO to the coaches/players. He shouldn’t actually be working on things with the pitchers or hitters, sure if he sees a thing or two make a suggestion or talk to a guy about something but that’s not really his job not something he should be spending his time on. This isn’t little league or HS where the head coach is doing everything. And I’m not even backing up or defending Joe 100% here, he has his flaws and blind spots like all coaches do (I don’t think they are “that” bad) but it just seems like such an odd angle to take to criticize the guy and call for his job over.

    This is clearly an Indication Kevin White is finally, actually, healthy

    May this be the only thing the Duke’ster fucks up for the next few weeks

    $155 million batting 9th

    Heyward over Happ against a lefty. Probably appropriate, but not really how I saw it playing out. Obviously Happ has been crap but the right side is his worse side, Heyward got a hit off a tough lefty yesterday so just go for the plus defense.

    I have no idea if you did this on purpose or not, but I love the idea that Travis d'Arnaud is so injury-prone that he might as well be a pitcher. This has been used as the all encompassing Mets injury thread since it’s inception I believe. We were due for one.

    VBs blow another save, this is not a repost
  20. Cubswin11
    You say that like it's a bad thing. Why do even watch sports if they make you this miserable? I mean, this team is in a championship window. So a peak of getting their asses kicked in the NLCS isn't a year people should strive to want.
  21. Cubswin11
    It’s played a role, it’s not the only or main reason but it’s a pretty big one.
  22. Cubswin11
    VB’s blow another save. Hopefully this game goes 20 innings

    This is the same team as last year Which was/is still pretty much the same team from 2016 that’s won over 200 games the last 2 years combined and that’s not even really the point. Good teams go through rough or not crazy hot stretches. I said it earlier but we are .500 through the first 10 games with 90% of them being on the road, just won a series 3 of 4 on the road from the best team we faced yet, we have guys performaning like black holes in a few spots, RISP hitting has been bad and unlucky, our 2nd best position player has missed or played hurt in 50% of the games, the rotation has had some clunky starts. All in all that’s fine and okay and you’d take it over most 10 game stretches of the season when the games are nearly all on the road.

    He apparently struck out a guy for the 3rd out but the ball got away from the catcher and then it all went to horsefeathers
