    I am going to be very interested to see what the numbers say about pitch framing and all that stuff once we get a decent enough sample size. I think Ross is doing a great job behind the plate and minus the issues blocking pitches and throwing out runners, Miggy is as well. If Contreras struggles framing pitchers and managing the game behind the plate it changes the dynamic of the team a tiny bit.
  2. UMFan83
    I wouldn't be surprised if the accompanying move was to put Miggy back on the DL. He just hasn't looked right
  3. UMFan83
    YES!!!!!!! He forced the issue, love it!

    If we keep blowing out teams when we win and losing 1 run games we might set a record for biggest disparity between Pythag wins and actual wins

    I wouldn't say it's a major problem. The bullpen is average. Unfortunately we doubled down on great performances from the scrap heap from Cahill and Richard and it hasn't worked out for the most part. Warren has been unreliable and that was quite unexpected. I love Strop and he's electric but every so often just completely implodes. Not going to fault Rondon for either of the last 2 nights. He allowed exactly 2 legit base runners and as a result blew 2 saves. Today he should have gone 1-2-3 but was screwed. He's been dominant. In an ideal world you have 9th - Rondon 8th - Lockdown lefty 7th - Strop 6th - Grimm/Loogy LR - Cahill

    I kinda like it. If they are gonna lose, let them have extra time to think about it and be pissed because A) losing happens so little with this team and B) there's very few things to get mad about this year. I'm just glad we are going home where we should have a nice week. I think the Cubs are 9-9 in their last 18 road games. Home cooking is what we need.

    Yes I know and it's fine but it's painful to be 1 and the 2 outs away from winning and lose the game. That said there are 2-3 games like this every year. I just want to get back to dominating and not playing .500. it will happen very soon but I hate waiting lol

    Now once again we lose before an off day and have 2 days until we can win again
  9. UMFan83
    Stupidest loss of the year
  10. UMFan83
    So every time the Cubs have scored today, the Nationals have immediately tied it in the next half inning
  11. UMFan83
    I mean I have no idea how he just inexplicably stopped throwing strikes. Ugh
  12. UMFan83
    Now to win this game we will have to go through Harper and Murphy again
  13. UMFan83
    Ok now this is an annoying game
  14. UMFan83
    Let's make this nice and easy and go home Trevor.
  15. UMFan83
    logic suggests no such thing as clutch hitting but Russell is making me wonder
  16. UMFan83
    Warren Oh thank God
  17. UMFan83
    Do we have anyone else to pitch besides Richard?
  18. UMFan83
    Is it a rule that Werth has to walk in front of Harper every other AB?
  19. UMFan83
    And zobrist is back in the team lead
  20. UMFan83
    Dammit that would have been such a perfect way to win. Oh well win it in the 10th
  21. UMFan83
    2 straight blown saves after 23 in a row. horsefeathers
  22. UMFan83
    Glad Harper is leading off. I mean I'm not but if had to bad this inning that is the spot I want him hitting
  23. UMFan83
  24. UMFan83

  25. UMFan83
