    I just want to point out that Ohtani has gone 1-16 against the Cubs since his BS HR in Japan. Karma?

    Key to Cubs success: Bullpen allowing 5+ runs in an inning
  3. UMFan83
    It’s almost like he’s a Double A player the Cubs are trying to hold onto for…reasons and are forced to play because the Cubs couldn’t adequately address the 3B position in the offseason partially due to a massive payroll cut. either work out a trade with Detroit or send him back over there
  4. UMFan83
    And they’ll be right more frequently than they should be. meanwhile Jed still picking up marginal guys to try to find lightning in a bottle (I know he doesn’t have a ton of options at this point, but that’s what the offseason was for)
  5. UMFan83
    Is the new stat I get to track this year “games where the Cubs have the lead and the pen gives up 5+ runs without recording an out”?
  6. UMFan83
    The holes on this Cub team are being exposed again. If only we had enough money for a better 3B and bullpen
  7. UMFan83
    Gonna remind myself the Cubs scored 2 runs on ridiculous bloops last inning before I complain about not scoring a run there
  8. UMFan83
    Has not pitched in the majors since 2021? Wtf

    I can't tell if I hate the modern NBA simply because the Bulls have sucked and been irrelevant during this entire era or because I don't like the style of basketball. It might be both....because the Bulls have sucked Ive followed the NBA less and less. When I do put it on, it looks completely different than the basketball I remember. I kind of liked it when the Golden State era started because what they were doing looked so different than everyone else, but now the its the norm I don't enjoy it. But then again, the era before that was just star guards going iso and drawing fouls all game so that wasn't particularly beautiful basketball either. But I do miss post play and turnaround jumpers.

    Well that sucks. Oh well 2/3
  11. UMFan83
    Anyways I’m glad I only melted down moderately when times were tough today.
  12. UMFan83
    I could definitely see the official scorer changing it to an error.
  13. UMFan83
    As much as I rail on Jed, acquiring 2 of the 5 best hitters in baseball (Tucker and Kelly) over a 24 hour span is pretty impressive.
  14. UMFan83
    I think Pat said on the radio that the most combined runs in an inning is 19. We “only” combined for 16
  15. UMFan83
    Not as cool but in the last 2 games the Cubs have played Arizona they’ve scored 9 runs in the 8th inning combined. And split those games.
  16. UMFan83
    They did it in the last 2 innings lol
  17. UMFan83
    But the funny thing is, Turner has to hit for Workman because he’s likely even more overmatched than Turner. Workman was brought in for defense and made the critical error to blow the lead. Holes all over the place.
  18. UMFan83
    Definitely feels like a Mancini/Hosmer move even though it shouldn’t
  19. UMFan83
    Just in the months of September 2023, March/April 2024, May 2024 and March/April 2025 I believe we’ve lost 16 different games where we had the lead in the 8th inning or later edit: I for some reason thought it was the bottom of the 9th so I assumed a loss here. I guess it’s closer now
  20. UMFan83
    Part of me feels like Jed built this team with glaring holes on purpose to stick it to Ricketts on the way out. 3B is a disaster, our rotation depth is already being tested, we have no good pen arms. But we saved $25m on payroll this year so that’s nice
  21. UMFan83
    Hopefully the next FO can build an average pen
  22. UMFan83
    Well this will be the 4th game this year the Cubs had a lead in the 8th inning or later and lost if they don’t come back
  23. UMFan83
    Who replaced Little who walked 4 guys in his outing lol
  24. UMFan83
    Glad Jed built a pen that is deep and full of options in Iowa.
  25. UMFan83
    Love when everyone gets excited about the wind blowing out hard and here we are 2-1 in the bottom of the 7th
