Which is clearly insane, soooooooo.... unfortunately, you're making a lot of sense. it feels like they've been getting the least out of their talent for a while. Yeah, the 97-win average of the past three years, the 92-win pace this year, the two consecutive division titles, the 3 straight NLCS appearances, and the World Series championship really make me feel this way too. -
Uh oh. I'm bad again. Somehow is no more.
-
Somehow the Cubs are going to win this game.
-
Nice try but Heyward is hitting .333 this series the man doesn’t regress. a bunch of weak grounders to the right side today has me flashing back to the last 2 years of suckitude
-
I was joking. You might be joking but a lot of Cubs fans are going to be upset when they don't end up trading for Machado
-
We might never win again.
-
At least they opened up everyone's Saturday.

I'm usually not one to hop on the DFA Train, but get Brian Duensing the horsefeathers away from this team. I'll take Farrell or Zastryzy or whoever the horsefeathers any day of the week.
-
I was getting lots of horsefeathers a couple days ago but we could easily lose 6 or 7 of 8 here. Games in June do count

lol at him adding new scorecards into this scam. Here's Pat talking to Coomer before the game today: http://gifimage.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/pepe-silvia-gif.gif "Sammy Sofa," this name keeps coming up over and over again. Every day Sammy's mail is getting sent back to me. Sammy Sofa! Sammy Sofa! I look in the mail, and this whole box is Sammy Sofa! So I say to myself, "I gotta find this guy! I gotta go up to his office and put his mail in the guy's [expletive] hands! Otherwise, he's never going to get it and he's going to keep coming back down here." So I go up to Sammy's office and what do I find out, Coom? What do I find out?! There is no Sammy Sofa. The man does not exist, okay? So I decide, "Oh horsefeathers, buddy, I gotta dig a little deeper." There's no Sammy Sofa? You gotta be kidding me! I got boxes full of Sammy!

There ya go, Q.

Obviously safe.

The Cubs don’t owe us the elusive 20 run game, they owe us a 20 DONG game 20 solo dongs because they'll find a way to go 0-8 with RISP.

So we want Chatwood's wife to be in labor for like 96 hours?

Similar, but Zobrist is going to walk more and I think Heyward will hit for more power if he keeps hitting the ball like this. Heyward's been really unlucky with his ISO. And it's coming from bad luck on balls in the air. He ranks 178 of 202 batters with 200 PA in HR/FB. But he's hitting the ball hard when he gets it in the air. He ranks 95 of 244 batters with 50 fly balls and line drives in FB/LD average exit velocity. And he ranks 96 of 244 in average FB/LD distance. Those things correlate really strongly with HR/FB and ISO. For reference, Heyward's HR/FB is 5.4% this year. It was 4.8% in 2016 and 9.4% last year. Between 2016 and 2017, Heyward ranked 221 of 252 batters with 200 FB/LD in average FB/LD exit velocity and 219 of 252 in average FB/LD distance. Heyward ranks 229 of 251 in xSLG-SLG for all hitters with 25 fly balls this year. He's hitting the ball with power, but it's not showing up yet. Somehow the dongs are going to come next for Heyward.

On pace for a 3+ WAR season, and that's with a probably deflated defensive contribution (relative to his ability) because he was temporarily blind or concussed or something. Yep. And the defensive numbers are starting to get back in order as he’s played excellent defense since then. Obviously, he’s going to finish a few runs worse than he’d like defensively because of the two-week blindness, but after 162 games that stretch won’t be dragging his numbers down as much as it is now.

When is the last time you heard opposing announcers talk about how fun it is to watch another team? And when their own team was in the World Series the previous year? i mean, i'm sure the cubs are generally known around the league as a fun team to watch because of all the fun players they have. that doesn't mean the games themselves this season haven't been boring an unusual amount of the time. i don't see why this needs to be an argument. people calling the 2018 cubs season boring shouldn't bother you. You'll never have fun watching baseball again.
