  1. I don't think he's nibbling, he just doesn't know where the ball is going when it leaves his hand.
  2. Sooooo when is Assad healthy? What other options? Not necessarily giving up on Brown yet but definitely been shaky. Edit: I was box score judging, it looks like his stuff is looking good but not great command.
  3. It is when you’re not sure which team out of the 2 you’d prefer to lose for standings purposes
  4. Wow I'm honored. It took 18 years but finally the Brian Roberts offseason obsession pays off! Thanks @Brock Beauchamp and all those that contribute articles, posts and moderation for another great year on NSBB.
  5. Nothing like Crane coming on the broadcast gushing about how magical Wrigley is, how 80% of bleacher tickets are sold and how these powder blue jerseys sold out quicker than any jersey ever while dealing with the reality of a drastically reduced payroll. At least the Cubs are looking good.
  6. Error, bunt single to right side, IF single to right side - bases loaded!
  7. First Cubs HR of the year at Wrigley. Love to see Dansby start the season hot.
  8. I just hope they don't go through the random May dip they went on the last 2 years. I feel like the last 2 Aprils we came out of the gate having quality PA after quality PA and then we slumped for a while before getting it going in the summer months.
  9. So 6-2 since real opening day with one of the losses being in a game we had a 97% win probability in the 8th inning.
  10. Damn you're right, I thought strike 2 in that AB was a ball and was excited to correct the legendary TT but game day shows it as a strike and obviously ball 1 hit the corner, good call.
  11. JHey go ahead grand slam would be mildly funny
  12. Holy crap that was a tough snag for Shaw. Tying run in scoring position now with 2 outs. C'mon Presley
  13. The difference is Cishek usually figured out a way to get the job done more often than not. Presley still TBD.
  14. Really wish Presley could like throw more strikes. 5 balls in that AB alone, 3 to Machado, 2 so far to Merrill
  15. Eh, it was a well hit ball. Definitely required a good jump from Seiya but he probably didn't have a better option than 2B. It was good baseball IMO.
  16. oh crap, I turned it off for a bit and checked and thought it said Machado hit the HR. That's so much worse
  17. Ugh, had a 3-1 count to Tucker and Seiya and neither could do anything with it, though Tucker hit it well.
  18. I'm assuming the wind is blowing in? If so I'd rather have Shota's 20th percentile GB rate for a game like this.
  19. Not to be the weather guy but man the weather looks ****** for the entire homestand. Rain issues Friday and Saturday and then 41/29 and 40/24 the first 2 scheduled night games
  20. This is very similar to the series we had in Oakland at the start of the 2023 season. We won those games 14-1, 4-0, 12-2. The +27 RD boost from that series kept us below our pythag record the rest of the season. Currently our RD for this series is +26.
  21. Really interested to see what the park effects look like when there's more data. Seems like the ball flies out of here like old school Coors Field, though maybe both teams are just swinging the bat well.
