  1. I’m so horsefeathers sick of the lack of situational hitting. horsefeathers hell
  2. Sooo Cubs needed 1 thing out of 12 to go right. They’ve burned 2 of those chances so far and 2 more tonight don’t look good
  3. Especially after 2 pick off attempts. If you get thrown out whatever, the Cubs offense probably isn’t getting you home from 1st with 2 outs anyways
  4. Geez. Were gonna have to win in a monsoon to make the playoffs
  5. Will the Marlins blow this leadoff double like the Cubs just did?
  6. Junk did not pitch junk yesterday. Will Gusto pitch with any enthusiasm? /dad jokes
  7. I don’t either. How many years in a row did the Dodgers make the playoffs before they finally won a World Series? Now they are going for their 4th this decade. Obviously some differences between the teams but no one has been able to tell me a good enough reason why the Brewers crap doesn’t work in the playoffs
  8. See I'm pretty down on the team in general but I wouldn't just assume the season ends next week. The playoffs are played completely differently than the regular season. I'm not sure if the Cubs are built for playoff baseball, but all it takes is an offensive hot streak and decent pitching to make a run. It could absolutely be over on Wednesday, and they are very unlikely to win the World Series, but I wouldn't write off an NLCS appearance just yet. Much crazier things have happened.
  9. Jed convinced PTR to spend approximately $45m more in payroll this season, pushing them into a range he's never allowed before and he's going to get back a team that wins less games than the year before, with postseason TBD. Really bad look for Jed to trot out a roster with a bottom 5 pitching staff, injuries or not. The fact that he can't find one reliable reliever on this team and avoids velocity like the plague is jarring especially considering there's a team spending a fraction of what the Cubs do that's able to build a dominant bullpen, trade away half of them, and then build another one the next year. Something has to change with their approach to pitching. Even if they somehow get hot and make a postseason run, the current approach is just not working well enough.
  10. Not super important in the grand scheme of things but that game is still pissing me off. Just needed one hit to clinch the playoffs aghhhh
  11. Welp Cabrera shouldn’t be on a playoff roster
  12. Well San Diego will be fun next week. Nice and warm
  13. I mean it was a check swing popup that was perfectly placed lol
  14. I hate every expansion team from the 90s except the Rays
  15. The best Caleb in Chicago that’s currently healthy and in-season (maybe)
