And that goes back to starting Davis. If you're wasting one spot in the order... not a huge deal. We won 103 games and a World Series playing Jason Heyward every day, after all. But, if you are going to go with Davis, you have to get the rest of the trash out of there. -
I know my Davis take didn't go over well. And I'm not a huge fan of it either with Avila sitting on the bench. It's probably incredibly stupid. But your first big league start ever is a different animal. There's sure to be some serious nerves. It could help having a guy you know back there. Also, if they have the quickest of hooks -- which they should -- Davis might not even bat. Basically, if things are going well, Tseng stays in and the Cubs have a lead. If not, they both come out and we get Avila in there. What I really don't understand is Jon Jay playing. (And Heyward, for that matter.) Jay was brought in to provide some stability since we didn't know what we had in center. He did a fine job. He lived up to expectations. He helped us out plenty along the way. But he's not very good. And we have two rookies that are both better than him defensively in center. One has a .919 OPS against lefties. The other has an .862 OPS against righties. We don't need Jay to start games any more. We have better options. He's got like a .620 OPS in the second-half to top things off. He needs to be a bench bat. Period. Quit horsefeathering starting him.

Honestly, it doesn't bother me too much. I imagine Davis and Tseng will be yanked with the quickness at the first sign of trouble. Davis is probably better than Mike Freeman -- which obviously isn't saying much. But he's plenty capable of getting a hit or two. And if they think it helps Tseng to have that familiarity, it might be worth it. The whole Tseng idea itself is a wee bit crazy. But, pairing him with Davis isn't the craziest thing ever.

Might as well let Big Cat play second.

I pretty much ignore Barstool sports and don't really know anything about them. Why does everyone hate them? I want to be mad online too. Long story short the site promotes a pretty ugly misogynistic agenda, especially from its followers. Its founder is an enormous pro-trump douche and all over awful guy. Big cat is a huge jock sniffer. More recently a boston barstool guy wrote about "keeping your politics out of the stadium" with regards to the racism conversation. Which makes this even more frustrating with all of the misogyny and racism that is prevalent in the sport of baseball. Get a horsefeathering clue, Cubs. Stop being so bad.

Yeah. I haven't had a rewatch in a long time. I don't think I've ever rewatched the series all the way through. I've seen the first few seasons a bunch of times. But without doing a full rewatch, I haven't seen the early episodes in a long time.

Sounds good to me. I'm going to start posting a lot more if I know I have free likes coming my way.

He is transforming into the Dunn-bot. I know last night they hit but Happ, Schwarber and Heyward at bats make me sad. Ian Happ has an .847 OPS.
-
He just reached base 4 times yesterday and homered.
-
I think Theo might have had the correct read on how bad this team is when he devised the Tseng plan to try to get Monty in the pen for St. Louis.
-
Jon's piling up the quality starts lately. Next one he's going to try to walk 10 guys.
-
Willson is such a stud. Schwarber-like return. Misses a month, plays a couple innings of rookie ball, comes back and reaches in 5 of his first 7 PA.
-
I'm dumb. 3-2 count with two out. Pitcher got tagged and almost gave up the out by thinking the inning was over though. Suarez grand slam. 6-0 reds Hell yes. Cards are a much bigger worry than the Brewers anyway.
-
Rizzo! Hell of a PA.
-
Don't listen to Gary, Javy. Just go.

Our pitching will be fine in the playoffs. Hendricks has been great. Quintana has been pitching very well lately. Arrieta has been lights out and I'm assuming will be back within a week since they are moving Monty to the pen. Jon just needs to find his command. But even if not, we'll be fine.
-
Harvey sucks so much. Time to pound him. And hope Jon can grind for a bit without getting roughed up himself.
-
i can't wait for someone to look this up and it turns out he has like 1 or something lmfao That is his 5th leadoff homer, in top or bottom of 1st, in 3 years as a Cub.
