  1. If getting beaned in the head caused Nico to go downhill, will getting hit in the head make Bregman a competent hitter now?
  2. Yikes, it's a game again. Took Thornton 7 pitches to give up 3 runs.
  3. lmao that Shaw should have struck out on a ball call that was so bad that neither the pitcher or catcher challenged it in time because they were waiting for the strike call that never came, but instead he homered.
  4. He’s trying to make up for his father being a Packer and I appreciate that. But yes that too!
  5. Why did they change the tiebreaker rules to focus on head-to-head results instead of the traditional GD, GA, GF format? Just wondering if it has something to do with the new format and making ensuring that teams tied for 2nd and 3rd have their H2H decide who automatically advances and who has to be one of the top 8 3rd place teams. Just makes it more difficult to just look at the table to tell who needs to do what to advance. Now you have to remember who beat who etc while trying to figure it out. /rant
  6. Geez, I had to turn off Switzerland vs Bosnia in the 73rd minute because of a work call. It was 0-0 at the time. I missed 5 goals and a red card during those 25ish minutes.
  7. Wait why aren’t they mobbing each other in the middle of the field? Wait a non-walkoff win at Wrigley?!
  8. I’m washing my hands of this team if they blow an 8-1 lead lol
  9. Even in a good offensive day they manage to squander 1st and 2nd, 0 outs and 1st and 3rd with 1 out situation
  10. In the first 2 games of both of their series vs the Rockies the Cubs were 1-30 with RISP In the final games of each series they are 8-11 with RISP
  11. This is the kind of game where you look at their season BA with RISP and wonder why it’s so high. 4-4 so far today with a sac fly after 3-39 stretch the last several games
  12. Jason Kipnis on the postgame show (I think) apparently had some pretty damning things to say about the Cubs hitting preparation, Edward Cabrera asking to come out of the game with his hand cramp, lack of leadership in the clubhouse. The latter 2 seem harder to confirm as I don’t think he’s really around the team that much but the hitting stuff is interesting. The screenshot is one piece of it edit; looks like I was beaten by a minute lol
  13. If it weren’t for 3 comebacks in the 9th inning the Cubs would be 1-12 during a stretch of home games against the Astros, A’s, Giants and Rockies
  14. 7 runs scored the last 2 games and only 1 hit with RISP.
  15. Oh no a runner in scoring position, time to ground out on the first pitch. This team is weird
  16. RISP tonight: Cubs 0-7 Rockies 2-5 (with one of the outs scoring a run)
  17. So basically if everyone is healthy our 4th, 6th, 8th and 9th starters maybe?
