    Best HR off the video board on 7/4 since KB hit a grand slam in 2016.
  2. UMFan83
    OK that was fun. Catching up to Seiya

    Kelly finally gets HR #10 after hitting HR #9 on May 24th

    I rarely hear discussion on this but at what point do we start thinking about a Seiya extension? A bit of an interesting discussion because I doubt he wants to play DH in his next contract so maybe he won’t want to engage with the Cubs until they see what happens with Tucker

    This one has been working for me: https://thetvapp.to/event/st-louis-cardinals-chicago-cubs-1ab8d1ee4a6057da8977923a8b5ecb58/

    Yeah in the 2nd to last series of the season in Pittsburgh I believe. Game was tied 1-1 and was late enough to be an official game when it was rained out. Because the Pirates were already eliminated and the Cubs already clinched HFA in the NL, there was no need to reschedule so it was a very rare tie. If the game had any meaning it would have been suspended and finished.

    Craig says he’ll miss a significant amount of time

    Wicks is up because Taillon is going on the IL. Poor recent form aside that’s a tough blow. Guessing Wicks is now Saturday’s game
  9. UMFan83
    If you are lazy and just look at the stat line. Most young yo-yo pitchers go back down to AAA to work on stuff. Also he’s had a 0.84 WHIP since mid May

    2016 Cubs though 87 games: 52-35 2025 Cubs through 87 games: 52-35 Of course that was literally the low point of the 2016 season after a 1-9 stretch but still that’s wild. 2025 Cubs will need to go 51-23-1 to match the 2016 team

    And that one run was scored without a single hit that inning.
  12. UMFan83
    The Cubs swept but it wasn’t an above .500 team so it doesn’t count.
  13. UMFan83
    Yet another unlucky batted ball for Shaw ffs. But I’ll take this one 😂
  14. UMFan83
    Reluctantly Pressly is probably the best option here but I hate it
  15. UMFan83
    Boo-urns
  16. UMFan83
    I think if the Cubs knew they’d be facing LHP for 5 innings they might have done the lineup differently. I figured 3 innings from the starter and keep the other lefty for late inning situational stuff
  17. UMFan83
    Are they bringing in a lefty to face Busch? Unless they made other roster moves they have 2 (and another starter) and one threw 3 innings last night
  18. UMFan83
    he's in there
  19. UMFan83
    Probably not fair but it’s gonna be tough. Obviously Ohtani is the starter. I can’t see them carrying more than 2 so it would be between Seiya, Schwarber, Devers and possibly Hunter Goodman if Colorado needs an All-Star Lets look at how they stack up: fWAR: Schwarber 2.3, Suzuki 2.0, Goodman 1.9, Devers 1.9 wRC+: Schwarber 150, Devers 138, Suzuki 137, Goodman 123 wOBA: Schwarber .391, Devers .372, Goodman .368, Suzuki .367 HR: Schwarber 26, Suzuki 23, Devers 17, Goodman 16 RBI: Suzuki 73, Devers 64, Schwarber 58, Goodman 50 OPS: Schwarber .912, Suzuki .869, Devers .861, Goodman .857 Theres more we can look at but you get the picture. No one would have any gripes if Seiya got an All Star nod but if they are only taking 1 extra DH Schwarber kind of stands out from the crowd with Seiya and Devers a step behind and Goodman as the designated Rockies option

    My first thought was gambling but maybe it was because I didn't want to think about something more disturbing.
  21. UMFan83
    They are calling up Joey Cantillo who is, surprise, a LHP. He seems like a 2-3 inning reliever so I'm not sure if he'll go super long. I'd keep Busch in there, especially because one of their 2 LHP in the pen threw 3 innings last night and the other 0.2 IP. Also Busch had a solid line drive hit against a LHP last night.
  22. UMFan83
    lol
  23. UMFan83
    Just for fun, the Cubs need to go 39-37 the rest of the season to win 90 games.
  24. UMFan83
    Is it normal for the on deck hitter to be that close to the plate? can’t remember ever seeing them from the home plate camera
  25. UMFan83
    Making me quite nervous
