  1. Because we in general are giant worriers here
  2. Almost 90 mins into the Sunday afternoon games and no thread? Marshall with a boneheaded play. Caught the ball and as he was going down tried to lateral it but there were 2 defenders there who turned it into a recovered fumble. Idiot
  3. Killing myself trying to decide between starting Mason or Gurley. Mason is practicing with the starters in warmups but I could totally see Gurley getting more carries as the game goes on if he looks good
  4. Sure there is. I'd either skip him or limit him to like 3 innings tonight if they don't want him to have a long layoff. Now that we're not going to catch the Pirates, there's really no point for their hitters to get 3-4 more looks at him. Meh. They've seen him what 5 times this year? I'd rather keep him on a consistent workload of at least 80-90 pitches
  5. NO. There's no point. He's in a groove right now, making him rest for 10 days is silly. And if you suggest moving him to tomorrow then he isn't lined up to start the Wild Card game. Start him but limit to 100 pitches this start and next - high leverage or not.
  6. Hammel hasn't been right since he got hurt in that Cardinals game in July. I believe it was the Peralta game. Yeah he had maybe 1-2 bad starts before he got yanked I want to say. He was trending down at that point
  7. Would you skip his start entirely? If so you are giving him 10 days off then 1 start before his WC start If you just move him back, he's not on track for the WC game anymore. Plus you'd let the Royals get a free look at the Game 1 and 5 starter in the World Series.
  8. 2015 trade deadline will not be in Theo's career highlight video
  9. I'm pretty sure Liriano has never allowed a run to the Cubs in his entire career
  10. I'm surprised no one has brought up Theo and co not trading for a good starter at the deadline in awhile. Could have been useful.
  11. He had like a sub-2 ERA into June I think. And Maddon has been good about yanking him early before he completely implodes in games.
  12. Man I have no idea who pitches in the NLDS besides Jake and Lester
  13. They are just red hot right now. Tbh, all 3 of their top pitchers (who are going this weekend) scare me more than any Cardinal starter. Liriano I believe has always done really good against us
  14. I think optimal scenario if Cubs can't catch Pirates is Cardinals and Pirates play a tie breaking game so they have to burn either Cole or whoever St Louis starts
  15. Definitely wanted an on field celebration but this team leads baseball in the walk off wins and has celebrated events like a no hitter and a 20th win. We've gotten plenty of on field celebrations from this team. And I have no doubt if they win today they will celebrate as if they just clinched.
  16. I can't believe the Cubs have somehow lost 4 games to the Pirates in a week (since we won Saturday afternoon and were temporarily 0.5 back). It doesn't even feel like we have lost that much.
  17. Yeah but how did you do in the postseason ticket lottery?
  18. [expletive] Bryant is sleeping. He's not sleeping..in fact I bet he has a hangover randomly scheduled off day tomorrow
  19. Discuss how awesome we are here or just post a lot of celebrating gifs since we won't see a true celebration from the team.
  20. Congrats. If you can't make the trip up I will find a good home for the tickets :)
  21. [tweet] [/tweet] Hmm that's s bit concerning
  22. Yup I didn't win either. Should have gone back to the VWR days and let the smartest people get the tickets
  23. He needs to strike out batters less wildly
