    Agreed. It was frustrating me that it was even being discussed

    Not really, I was just trying to be funny. I think most people don't believe strand rate is a legitimate trait a pitcher has for the most part.
  3. UMFan83
    They took the guy out with a historic strand rate and his runners left on scored immediately. Not smart Craig

    I really don't understand why they keep him. I don't know anyone who likes him and he's just so bad at it after years of doing it. Pat must have a soft spot for him, but I really hope they aren't seriously grooming him as Pat's replacement.

    I fully expected with literally every advantage pointed the Cubs way offensively except Tucker being out that this dude would shut us down

    you beautiful person thank you

    stupid streameast being raided. too lazy to look for another stream site and too cheap to reup with apple

    Wind is expected to be blowing heavily out to RF today and the Nats have a righty on the mound. If the Cubs can't homer today the offense really is broken.

    I saw that. I was at the same game. The infamous Adrian Peterson game....he didn't have to wait long to get his first Bears heartbreak.

    The game he messed up his ankle early and Michigan couldn’t block Chop Robinson? It was bad enough that he was limping into the stadium the next week and they almost pulled him at halftime against Maryland because he was in so much pain. If that game was so damning, he wouldn’t have been a top 10 pick.

    In 2023 the Rangers were 42-45 against above .500 teams and won the World Series, the Astros lost to them in Game 7 of the ALCS and were 42-43, and the Diamondbacks lost to the Rangers in that World Series and were 40-50. In 2022, the Padres and Phillies squared off in the NLCS with the Padres having a 38-44 record against above .500 teams and Phillies 34-47. It really doesn't matter imo.

    They have 22 games to learn how to hit again. I would never have imagined in June that its the offense that I'd be so worried about but here we are.

    The Dilfer comparison doesn’t make sense to me. Dilfer had a big arm but he was inaccurate and a total statue in the pocket. JJ’s game is built on accuracy, efficiency, and he can actually move around and make plays when things break down. Totally different style of QB. Michigan’s offense in 2023 wasn’t average, they were something like 12th in the country in offensive SP+. Harbaugh ran a really conservative, run heavy system because he had the best defense in the country. It wasn’t built to put up video game numbers like Washington or Oregon, but it was still really good. Within that setup JJ still completed 72 percent of his passes, threw 22 touchdowns with only 4 picks, and had one of the best efficiency ratings in the country. When they needed him to make plays he almost always did. Not saying that means he’ll be an elite QB. He’s not perfect but he has a solid arm and great poise and leadership abilities. Like most QBs coming into the league, his ability to adjust to the speed of the NFL and being able to process plays quickly will be a big factor in whether he will succeed. Having O’Connell coaching him definitely helps. (C’mon I had to make one last defense of JJ before I have to start hating him on Monday)

    1 run on 4 hits. What a stupid game
  15. UMFan83
    They have an off day tomorrow right? Why are Ben Brown and Drew Pomeranz bringing us home
  16. UMFan83
    Oh do share how you can tell that
  17. UMFan83
    Maybe score more than 1 run against a pitcher with an ERA near 6?
  18. UMFan83
    How many innings in a row is McGuire gonna let the tying run get to 2B on a passed ball?
  19. UMFan83
    As bad as Brown has been, that’s 3 strikes called balls so far. Grr
  20. UMFan83
    Not a smart idea to start 3-0 to the 8 and 9 hitters to bring up Acuna, Olsen, Albies, etc
  21. UMFan83
    Dat xFIP tho
  22. UMFan83
    Cubs turned into a terrible base stealing team yeesh
  23. UMFan83
    Hopefully 3 days off helps but I'm not sure...I think we just need to take what we can get from PCA at this point and hope he works out the offensive issues.
  24. UMFan83
    It's times like these I beg Mr. Ken Tremendous to restart FireJoeMorgan.com. It's time.
  25. UMFan83
    At the very least we’re making them a little nervous at this point.
