Too much free swinging. But then again when the ump is going to call strike 3 on that BS maybe they should swing at everything just in case -
I feel so much better about 8-9-1 due up next inning when it's Happ-Pitcher-Almora then when it's Javy-Pitcher-Zobrist
-
6 balls thrown in that AB lol Javy's approach so far as been bad even for him
-
lmao 89 MPH exit velocity Edit: just kidding I read it wrong. 105 mph. Definitely more legit than Rendon's garbage
-
WILLY!! Got the cheap HR back
-
Lester does look pretty sharp besides whatever the heck that was
-
That horsefeathers carried
-
Had to give up the first inning run didn't ya
-
Not an awful first. Almora made good contact and Rizzo should have walked but the ump is human
-
Straight up fooled KB in that AB
-
-
Oh man road greys? Normally I like that look better but Cubs have won 4 straight playoff games in the blues
-
At 1:25:20.... I know you wanted a gif probably to show off but I couldn't find one [bbvideo=560,315]https://youtu.be/HZ_CBAYIwSk[/bbvideo]

Honestly since Dusty left the Cubs I haven't been overly focused on him and my critique of him as a manager started to reduce itself to something about overworking pitchers, making poorly constructed lineups and fishing analogies. I completely forgot a lot of the little things that he does that kill a team such as riding a poorly performing veteran over better players (ok so kinda doing that with Zobrist) or failing to take accountability or just overall spewing a ton of dated misinformed baseball logic
-
I want to see dongs early and often
-
The other options are left handed Jay, Schwarber or Heyward or LaStella at 3B with Lester on the mound (and Bryant in OF). I'm not saying that makes starting Zo the obvious correct choice but I don't think any of the options stand out as better unless you want Heyward for defense
-
Gio had a 5.31 ERA and .766 OPS against over his last 7 starts. Even if he's on I expect 2-3 ERs off of him then we get to the pen.
-
lol yeah. i imagine that's what it was like looking at this board around the 08 playoffs, with fewer terrible meatbally opinions but just as much despair Just watching the expressions of the Nationals fans behind home plate after the 2 run rally, they looked completely shell shocked and defeated. Made me realize that holy crap we used to be like that.
-
Well the important thing here is that you now need to have sex in the middle innings of every game
-
I wonder if fans/writers will account for him when breaking down the Cubs now.

Cubs playoff wins 1901-2014: 27 Cubs playoff wins 2015-2017: 16

and the year before that The Cubs have scored 4 total runs in their last 3 NLDS game 1's.... <------ stat you'd expect from old Cubs .....and are 2-1 in those games. <-----the happy ending you expect from new Cubs
