    This is a clown defense lately

    Well you can if the circumstances change and your decision changes. But at that point there's a possibility it's not going to be seen in time.

    Also another terrible slide by Javy lol. My first thought was that he tore up his knee.

    PS Almora might have saved his roster spot today when Dex comes back. Bye Szczur

    I'm all for ignoring Gary Jones but that wasn't a great decision. I get that Lackey was on deck with 2 outs but he had a higher liklihood of getting a hit or there being a WP than him rounding 3rd when the ball was already in the IF.

    Apparently hitting the ball on a line up the middle means guaranteed out for the Cubs

    Should I put myself through watching the next half inning or run an errand or something?

    Probably that they go back to pitching well. Just a hunch. It's pretty funny how high people got when we had like 5 of the best 20 starters in baseball, but then when the inevitable regression happens - albeit rather annoyingly in a terrible 3 week stretch - people lose their minds. Did you really expect Lester to maintain a sub 2.00 ERA or Hammel to not turn into a post-June pumpkin? People have trouble wrapping their heads around it because it inexplicably happened to 4 of the starters at the same time and not just went from giving up 1-2 runs a game to 3-4 runs. They went from 1-2 to 5-6.

    He's a hero for all the Mike Olts out there looking to overcome their handicap and play in the bigs.

    I've never seen an OF have more balls bounce off his glove than McCutchen. What a weirdo
  11. UMFan83
    How many batters does the lead last?
  12. UMFan83
    ALBERT!
  13. UMFan83
    Yeah it's not like the pitching has been BABIP'd to death. They've been allowing a ton of hard contact and their control has been spotty to go along with it. if there are mechanical issues here then figure them out quickly. If the velocities are dropping than that's a big concern
  14. UMFan83
    I believe they've allowed 27 HRs in both June and July. I believe that's right because I saw a stat last night that it was at 27 and 23 and the Pirates hit 4 HR since then
  15. UMFan83
    The tie lasted 2 pitches sweet
  16. UMFan83
    Suggesting someone write an article analyzing the Cubs slump. Preferably one where the conclusion is that the Cubs are dealing with a perfect storm of bad luck.
  17. UMFan83
    This is like the worst luck ever
  18. UMFan83
    Bosio you've been a great pitching coach but you need to figure this horsefeathers out now
  19. UMFan83
    Cubs have had the lead in I believe 6 of the last 7 games but are 1-5 in that stretch not counting today
  20. UMFan83
    And right on cue the bad defense. Nothing changed overnight
  21. UMFan83
    Now we're punching the Gatorade cooler

    That doesn't seem good. Rangers are very good. Cubs are very good, as well, regardless of how they look now. Should be a good series. Mets are losing a SP per day. Brewers suck. White Sox are pretty much an average team. Not scared. Mariners are literally average. See above. Marlins are annoying (seemingly always) but of course beatable. Plus, after today the Cubs won't go on the road again (other than the all stars) until July 21st. And even then it's only to Milwaukee and then directly back to Chicago to play the white sox. So, other than a short trip to Milwaukee, the Cubs essentially won't travel again until August 4th when they go to Oakland (hopefully Hill will be pitching against his old team for that trip). Plenty of time to rest up, regroup, and start kicking ass again. There is literally no reason a team this talented should be playing so poorly. It's just baseball and it'll balance itself out very soon. I'm as frustrated as anyone, but it's an aberration. Your right we shouldn't be concerned with a bunch of teams hovering around .500 and the Rangers. It's just difficult to keep perspective when you've 1 game against a team that's not the Reds over the last 21 days
  24. UMFan83
    To compare the Cubs first 6 series are Rangers, Mets, Brewers, White Sox, Mariners, Marlins 5/6 at or above .500 We should probably go ahead and win today
  25. UMFan83
    Looking at the L10 in the standings and seeing 1-9 next to the Cubs is weird.
