    Last 3 AB for Busch against LHP: 3-3, 2 HR, 1 2B wild
  2. UMFan83
    Not getting 1 there at least is absolutely killer after the top of the 1st

    FFS dansby
  4. UMFan83
    Bases loaded for Dansby. Which direction does he aim his grounder?
  5. UMFan83
    The one power hitting RHH in the middle the order and he has a terrible Ab resulting in a K

    When the opener fails

    Just for fun here is where the Cubs starting position players rank in fWAR for their position C - Kelly - 5th - 1.9 fWAR 1B - Busch - 3rd - 2.3 fWAR 2B - Hoerner - 5th - 2.0 fWAR 3B - Ehhhh SS - Swanson - 12th - 1.9 fWAR LF - Happ - 16th - 1.0 fWAR (missed a month) CF - PCA - 1st - 4.6 fWAR RF - Tucker - 2nd - 3.9 fWAR

    Sandy Alcantara with 5 ER in 6 IP tonight. I dunno I think I’m out on him unless he’s cheaper than what is being discussed. I have no doubt he’s fixable but he can’t be our big acquisition at this point.

    saw the Reds beat the Phillies today. Sort of a mixed result since it keeps the Reds close ("only" 7 games back!!!) but puts the Cubs 2 games ahead of the Phillies for an NLDS bye

    Meh, not sure why it's a big deal. Rizzo striking out Freeman and Zobrist striking out Molina in his final MLB AB are treasured memories for me.

    Imagine hitting 3 HRs and not being named player of the game

    I'm not loving the idea of putting a position player out there to pitch. RD championship is at stake.

    Sadly I don't think he'll make it but we'll see.

    19 hours ago the Cubs start a game where they scored 1 run, scoring that run with a ghost runner without the benefit of getting on base. About 16 hours later the Cubs have broken the franchise record for most HRs in a single game.

    HR #3 for Busch amazing. Off a lefty too
  17. UMFan83
    Ho hum another 10 run game for the Cubs offense. That was a blast by Dansby. Thank you PCA for not stealing 2nd which we know would have prevented that.
  18. UMFan83
    Looks like a legit tie there

    Tough day for Tuck today
  20. UMFan83
    FWIW I believe tomorrow is a bullpen game for them. But yeah that is a huge lack of usage...maybe they'll be rusty and it will backfire for them.
  21. UMFan83
    Absolutely, super excited about his improvement this year. I'm just saying it's not an exact comparison. I remember Rizzo also mightily struggling vs lefties early on as a Cub so there's certainly a path to improve if he is actually given opportunities.
  22. UMFan83
    I mean at this point it is for the better but I can't believe they kept Mikolas in the game in the 6th. But now they are basically waving the white flag and keeping the pen fresh I guess. Unfortunately for them Rea is also cruising and will likely go 7
  23. UMFan83
    To be fair to Riz, he had entire seasons where he had a higher OPS vs. LHP than RHP. Busch obviously has time (if given the opportunity) to improve against lefties but Rizzo as it stands today was more complete hitter for that reason.
  24. UMFan83
    PCA and Busch both 3-3 with 2 HR and a single. Think they're happy to face a righty?
  25. UMFan83
    Holy horsefeathers lmao, Busch just beat what PCA just did
