  1. Just want to point out that the Stars have been outscored 9-1 by the Oilers in the 2 games since this post lol
  2. Also looking at baseball savant for the game, -Neither of McGuire's HRs today would have been gone at Wrigley -Nico's double in the 7th would have been a HR at Wrigley (only a HR at Wrigley and whatever they are calling the Brewers' stadium these days)
  3. The Cubs have scored 10+ runs in 23% of their games this year. Is that good? Feels like that is good
  4. Seiya has had great runs like this before but seems like every time things are going well he gets hurt. We’re finally seeing what a healthy(ish) Seiya can do over an extended period
  5. How many 3+ game series a year do you think have no innings end with the score tied?
  6. So Cubs catchers are tied with PCA for the team lead in HRs lol
  7. Dude I've been almost saying Turner instead of Tucker all season but think I've caught it every single time until now lol
  8. I think PCA and Tucker have hype that goes beyond Cubs fandom. Seiya will be very tough to be voted in because he'll be listed as a DH along with Ohtani (I think). Dansby will have a very tough time with Perdomo, Lindor, Abrams, and Turner as options. I'm betting PCA and Tucker (not Turner) get voted in, Seiya as a reserve and maybe Dansby as well. Can't see any pitchers making it. Maybe with Carson Kelly getting extra playing time with Amayas injury, if he gets hot again he can make it. Edit: Also forgot Betts is a SS now too, another likely option to make it
  9. That was awesome. At 3-1 count with 0 outs and runners in 1st and 2nd I totally expected Seiya to take the pitch given that he tends to be more passive that most in those situations. Instead he hit on 116 mph for a 3 run HR.
  10. "Walks have been a big issue" Well that's ok because he gets to face a guy with the world's largest strike zone.
  11. Sure you don't want that lefty to face Seiya Tito?
  12. Oh man wish Happ could have gotten to 3rd there but probably the right call with 0 outs
  13. McGuire was released by the Cubs and could have signed with any other team but came back a couple of days ago only to find himself in the majors with a multi HR game lol
  14. In the 23 innings played this series the Reds have led at the end of 20 of them, the Cubs have led at the end of 3 of them and they have ended the inning tied 0 times. thank goodness for the scoring surge at the end of the game Friday of this would have been a complete disaster of a weekend.
  15. Honestly who cares he’s been hitting leadoff for years, clearly like him there. He’s streaky which can be frustrating at times but people do this every year and he eventually has a solid 3.5-4 win season
  16. Is it July yet? Want to see what Jed cooks up for SP additions. The patchwork rotation has filled in admirably well but not sure how long it’s sustainable to have a staff with a couple of number 3 starters and 3 more marginal guys
  17. That’s 4 extra bases the Cubs defense has given the Reds in the last 2 innings and 2 runs have scored directly due to those extra bases
  18. Catching up on what I missed. So the following xBAs by the Cubs have been outs today? .950, .940, .870 .710, .510
  19. Miggy gives them an extra base leading to a run. PCA makes a nice play but then overthrows the cutoff to put a runner in scoring position blah
