  1. I want to see the Giants get to 30 today. Why not?
  2. Cubs are about to get rid of their entire +18 RD for the season today alone.
  3. Continuing that thought, maybe DFA of Taillon or Shota is an option since they're both in the final year of their contracts and likely don't offer any relief value.
  4. Jed's was a retool don't forget. A retool that lasted longer than Theo's gut rebuild and led to 1 playoff appearance and 4 playoff wins vs 5 playoff appearances, 19 playoff wins and a WS title.
  5. Since Boyd and his 6.00 ERA will be back imminently, one of these guys will likely be demoted from the starting rotation... Imanaga - 4.74 ERA Taillon - 5.13 ERA Rea - 5.49 ERA Cabrera - 4.99 ERA Brown - 1.92 ERA It's probably going to be Rea because he has more long relief experience right? What a disaster
  6. I've have stanned for the Cubs pitching infrastructure and Hottovy for years, and I realize we're dealing with a lot of injuries but the Cubs pitching is completely unacceptable. No excuse for Taillon, Shota and Cabrera to be as bad as they've been, no excuse for Maton to be unplayable. Like what are we doing here?
  7. 4 of the Cubs last 5 wins at Wrigley Field have been walk off wins
  8. Also that game against the Pirates where he hit 2 critical home runs in a rare win doesn't count because the Cubs were in the middle of a 5-19 stretch thus a low leverage situation.
  9. How many consecutive days has an NL Central team been over .500? Insane that it might be the Cubs, who were 15 over .500 at one point, to break that streak
  10. MLB leaders for most HRs allowed this year: 1. Taillon - 20 2. Imanaga - 17
  11. That’s 11 HR allowed in Shota’s last 4 starts and 9 in his last 3 starts (though to be fair one of them is PCAs botch). that has to be close to a record right?
  12. Hey those mighty A’s will be .500 if they finish off this win. Certainly not a team the Cubs should be getting swept by at home but I think they are decent at least
  13. I’m switching to 3-15 as my futility statistic because the 2-4 stretch to start this run actually raises their win percentage from .161 to .204 or something like that
  14. Hey they’ll still be 23-21 in their last 44 games!
  15. At what point does the WS win fade a bit and you realize that the Cubs have won 1 WS in 118 years and 1 pennant in 81 years? Dont get me wrong I’ll enjoy that title until I die but man our history is awful.
  16. Butkus mostly because people want to know how he managed to rise from the dead. And probably a couple people wanting to ask him about his time on Hang Time.
  17. Good news is, the pitcher who has given up 8 HRs in his last 3 starts is on the bump today with the wind heavily blowing out.
  18. edit: Disregard, I lazily used Gemini and then realized it gave me false information. Shocker
  19. Happ has a NTC, Seiya is having his worst season and is a FA after the year. Kelly is an aging catcher, Shota gave up 2 HRs while I was typing this post, Boyd has been hurt multiple times this year. I mean sure if they can be traded for anything sure, but I highly doubt you get much for any of them.
  20. Also so much for that “undefeated when leading in the 7th inning” stat
  21. The Cubs had 2 chances tonight to bring a runner home from 3rd with less than 2 outs. They failed both times and lost by 1 in extra innings.
