    Cubs offense has started out hot for the 3rd straight year. Here is how they compare and how they did in May and June in 2023 and 2024. 2025: 77 runs (6.4 runs per game) - .776 OPS thru 12 games 2024: 73 runs (6.1 RPG) - .771 OPS thru 12 games, .647 OPS May, .682 OPS June 2023: 69 runs (5.8 RPG) - .779 OPS thru 12 games, .696 OPS May, .697 OPS June I know I make weird connections to things that don't have any relationship to each other, but I am not claiming how they hit in April determines how they will hit in May and June, just pointing out that it feels very familiar to how the last 2 years have started: hot offense, shaky bullpen.

    I kind of do care because I'd like our 8th and 9th inning guys to be lockdown. Hodge has mostly looked good but gave up the tying run today. Presley has been a disaster and while he didn't make the error and should have been out of the inning the leadoff walk doomed him. If you could feel confident about your 8th and 9th inning guys, it makes baseball games so much easier to manage. Hodge might be one, but not convinced he's a lockdown reliever just yet. Really wish we got Treinen

    Well Jed is on the last year of his deal....

    At least that $20m+ cut in payroll has Tom in 1st place of the breaking even standings.

    Seiya had a .543 SLG coming into today and 4 HR, Dansby .512 SLG

    Could easily be 9-1 since Japan with a better bullpen...

    GREAT STRIKE ZONE UMP
  11. UMFan83
    Or take a ball for strike one and a strike for strike 3
  12. UMFan83
    So nice of this ump to expand the zone randomly in the late innings.

    I’m not watching the Cubs on Sundays anymore
  14. UMFan83
    horsefeathers hate Arraez. Seems like we always struggle to get him out. And sure enough he’s 6-12 against us this series
  15. UMFan83
    Definitely want to walk the 9 hitter to lead off the inning for the heart of the Padres order
  16. UMFan83
    What a terrible call when the pitcher isn’t even throwing strikes
  17. UMFan83
    Ugh Busch seemingly had no shot there.
  18. UMFan83
    4 run leads on a Sunday are cursed for the Cubs
  19. UMFan83
    Tucker hits a HR to make it a 4 run lead just like last Sunday. Hopefully the outcome is different.. Would love to have a LR stretched out for Brown starts.
  20. UMFan83
    I see its going to be one of those bullpen games....
  21. UMFan83
    GIDP for Tucker. Quick Jed get on the phone with his agent
  22. UMFan83
    I’ll take a run scoring balk
  23. UMFan83
    Is Kelly already stealing starts from Amaya or is this more of riding out Kelly’s hot hand and maybe matchups?
  24. UMFan83
    New 3rd base coach, same overwhelming desire to be thrown out at home 😂
  25. UMFan83
    It’s gonna be so annoying when he walks without the Cubs even making a serious offer to him.
