  1. Yikes, looking up that stat caused me to look at the Cubs hitting stats in Sept and yuck for pretty much everyone except Rizzo. Thank god we have 2.5 weeks to rest and focus on getting sharp for the playoffs.
  2. Szczur is 4 for his last 41 since that 2 HR game against the Cardinals
  3. he was being aggressive and make it about 40% of the way to 3rd before stopping and trying to scamper back to 2nd where he was tagged out. He might have been safe but it was too close to tell definitively.
  4. im really annoyed about how annoyed i am about losing last night and potentially losing today during our clinch week even though its meaningless baseball and we literally put out our C lineup today.
  5. Single, Single, Walk, first pitch grounder inning over
  6. AHHHHH Almora, that's a killer
  7. I've been saying that for a couple years now. But the guy took a month off and now hasn't hit for a month since coming back. I'd try and get him more playing time this week to see if he can get it together but I'm not sure he can hit anymore. It's not an attitude thing but taking a month off to hang at the jersey shore hasn't helped and could have had a real negative effect. eh. has he had that many at bats? he crushed a ball today that broxton died making a miraculous catch on I think he's had 20 ABs or so which isn't a ton but its the type of frequency he should expect to see ABs in his role (20 AB over 15 games)
  8. Part of me is like 'come on, not another awkward post-loss celebration', but the other part of me realizes how this team will quickly make you forget about the awkwardness of celebrating after a loss.
  9. Come on we should be out donging our opponents when the wind is blowing out. I don't care who is in the lineup
  10. Lackey has let the leadoff man reach in 5 of 7 innings but none of those leadoff men have scored thus far.
  11. I keep waiting for the lineup to turn over to the Bryant, Rizzo, Russell part and it never gets there.
  12. Probably has to do with playing against more RHPs and not being protected with favorable matchups. May just be the hitter he is vs RHP. This might be part of it, but when he was at his high point offensively this year, his OPS vs. LHP was slightly over 1.000 for the season. Now its at .834 for the season. His OPS vs. RHP has actually raised slightly from ~.650s (going from memory) to .689.
  13. Dammit Soler left because of tightness somewhere. Hope its not those hammys
  14. yeah the problem is that either La Stella or Coghlan will almost certainly get a roster spot because they are lefties.
  15. https://twitter.com/chasemoneycopy/status/776863121638060032
  16. The Cubs are purposely spoiling all division clinching celebrations so that they are hungry for celebrations in October
  17. ok not a tasteful joke, im sorry i should think before i post because if i spent even 2 seconds to consider what I was posting I would have realized how bad and unnecessary the joke was. sorry again
  18. Well, that K rate is still lower than when he was awful in 2014 and if thats him at his worst thats really not too bad I'm not worried about him going back to 2014 or anything, and not necessarily worried about this slump either. He will get it back together. I just like annoyingly posting stats that show how much players are slumping or surging.
  19. Why are the Brewers so good against us lately?
  20. Javy has a .572 OPS and an almost 29.8% K rate since July 30. Blah, hope he can make some adjustments before the playoffs.
  21. OK so who pitches game 4 when John Lackey is in jail for murdering a teammate on live TV?
  22. And they men so obviously the girl knew what was going on
  23. When someone bad happened to the Cubs Fred would say funny things instead of swears, the most common being "Oh horsefeathers !" In tribute to Fred, the swearing filter was changed so that swears were auto replaced to say "horsefeathers"
