    How many times have we lost a game we won by 3+ runs late? Have we even lost any?
  2. UMFan83
    This ain't the Reds here quit horsefeathering around
  3. UMFan83
    Are you kidding me? What the hell was that?
  4. UMFan83
    Why are we horsefeathering around with shitty relievers in close games? He should have been done after his first shaky AB
  5. UMFan83
    Yeah Peralta seems like the type of guy who you think to yourself "that guy played for us?" when you are looking at the 2016 Cubs page on Baseball Reference in 10 years
  6. UMFan83
    Was lackey taking shots between innings?
  7. UMFan83
    Ok time to go lackey
  8. UMFan83
    Coomer should be fired on the spot this is ridiculous. He described the ball Almora caught like he was reading an instruction manual out loud.
  9. UMFan83
    Strikes please

    Bulging disc, per Jason Stark. Doesn't heal with rest Not sure how long he's out for but its retroactive to June 27th so hypothetically he's eligible to come off the DL the day of the all star game. I don't think it's likely they activate him so he can play in an exhibition though so looks like ASG starter spot is open

    Love it, thanks Tim!

    Weird to not have Heyward in the lineup 2 days in a row even if it's 2 lefties. Something else wrong with him?
  15. UMFan83
    Err guess I should have just posted this [tweet] [/tweet] I will be mad if Zo or Russell get passed but if horsefeathering Bryant isn't starting I'll be pissed. Sorry Nolan this game isn't played in Colorado so take your shitty road splits to the bench
  16. UMFan83
    [tweet] [/tweet] Also this. Dex will make it either way but looks like either other teams are surging in late votes or Cubs fans have voted less frequently
  17. UMFan83
    [tweet] [/tweet] I missed that yesterday. Definitely need Zo in there

    I really hope our 5 Cubs hang on. I feel like over the last few years there has been some semi-suspicious instances where one guy has leaped another guy on the final polls after said player has lead the entire time. I wouldn't be shocked if Addy gets leaped.
  19. UMFan83
    Sounds like a smart decision. I have to say, I don't root for anyone to be injured, but it would be slightly satisfying if the Cubs slug their way to a World Series title while the Mets miss the playoffs because all their young talented pitchers get hurt, because of the rebuild with hitters or pitchers dynamic.
  20. UMFan83
    I honestly could just as easily see him staying all year as I could seeing him sent down. He definitely has value as a defender and hasn't at all hurt the team with his bat so far. But there are only 25 spots so unless you DFA Montero or Szczur or include Javy in a trade or something your bench is locked with Miggy, Ross, Javy, Soler/LaStella, Szczur when everyone is healthy
  21. UMFan83
    He's not hitting nearly as well this year as he has in the last two. And even if he's hitting a little better than league average, the bullpen guys that pitch after him are most assuredly not....which means burning pinch hitters. 1) their bench kind of sucks 2) as mentioned above, the chances he goes at least 7 innings are pretty high 3) because you don't burn a PH as the DH, the first time you PH you are essentially even in terms of roster used with a DH. It's fairly unlikely that they use a 2nd PH in the pitchers spot given #2 I don't think its a brilliant move, but I don't think its stupid either. It's just fun.
  22. UMFan83
    That makes sense. I still wonder what happens when Fowler and Soler are ready. I have a feeling Coghlan isn't long for this team. Yeah Coghlan getting released is likely a probable thing, maybe Montero to the DL for a bit. They could really take their time with Soler though and let him play in AAA for a few weeks once he's completely healthy. So it could just be needing to make room for Fowler immediately. I wonder if given how bad he's been this year and the fact that his defense is a huge negative and can't hit lefties, they could DFA him and assuming he's not claimed, can convince him to hang out in Iowa for awhile.
  23. UMFan83
    [tweet] [/tweet] Wow this is actually pretty cool
  24. UMFan83
    Looks like one more game at AAA for Seal Boy and I'm guessing he will be activated tomorrow (Friday). Guessing Patton since the Cubs have 13 pitchers currently
  25. UMFan83
    How is the hell is Rozival still on this team? Mashinter I can kind of be ok with because hes only 27 and a depth 'in case of emergency' piece. But Rozival is old and is likely only going to sign unless he is going to play at least somewhat. Otherwise he'd just retire and we can forget he ever existed.
