    I wasn’t really following too closely. So Shota pitched 6 innings and allowed 1 baserunner (walk), Thielbar came in and allowed 2 runs and 3 hits in 0.2 IP, then the rest of the pen pitched 2.1 IP without allowing a baserunner. Meanwhile the Cubs had 13 baserunners and didn’t score. gotta love baseball

    Really not worried. There's no reason to suggest the entire team besides Nico won't hit and the bullpen will light every game on fire when they come in all year.

    xBA - Pirates .281, Cubs .249 Mo's ball was 103 MPH and .490 xBA Busch's was 101 MPH and .550 xBA

    He just missed a HR 3 different times on Wednesday and probably hit one today if not for the wind. He'll be fine, he's getting closer to locked in IMO.

    Leadoff walk and the inning is over 2 pitches later lol. 3 double play caliber balls hit in 2 innings, 2 of them converted into GIDPs

    Weren't people talking about how doomed we were this series after losing the first game and having Assad and Rea going the next 2 nights?
  7. UMFan83
    True but even without Horton neither Assad or Rea would be projected to be in a Cubs playoff rotation. Would be Cabrera, Steele, and 2 of Boyd, Shota and Taillon. If anything you’d want an Assad or Rea to be giving 3 innings piggybacking off the 3rd and 4th starters.

    We’re fine. It makes the job harder but Cade Horton, as awesome as he is, was not the sole reason we had deep playoff aspirations. Not ideal but plenty of time to figure it out, we have depth even if it isn’t particularly exciting, the chance that Steele comes back and is anything close to his pre-injury self and there is still a trade deadline if the SP really goes south but the Cubs are still in it. Sucks but the sky ain’t falling.

    The former, whatever, they have been cocky and it’s one of those things where you love them because it’s your team but understand why it would rub people the wrong way. The May hate I don’t understand at all. His players love him, other coaches (besides Izzo) seem to love him, he seems to have really strong relationships with virtually anyone affiliated with basketball. I can’t recall him saying anything too controversial. He seems like a genuinely good dude, I don’t get it.

    Reports starting to trickle out about Horton’s MRI and it’s…not good
  11. UMFan83
    Our woeful opponent was the Nationals (1-5 in games not involving the Cubs) but we lost the series lol

    If we went 4-6 in June it would suck but not blown out of proportion. They'll get it together.
  13. UMFan83
    One of these years the pitching staff isn't going to take 2 months to get it together.

    How the Bulls managed to finally get rid of GarPax and then manage to hire a new FO that is somehow indisputably worse and keep them in power for as long as they did is just amazing. I'm hoping this is not the best thing that happens to one of my teams today, but this is pretty damn great. Please don't screw up this hire, I'm begging you. Make me want to care about the Bulls again.
  15. UMFan83
    Have the Cubs players tried like not getting injured? Glad we have rotation depth and a wizard that seems to make it work with whatever he has in Hottovy.
  16. UMFan83
    I don’t know if it’s Michigan basketball keeping me occupied but I’ve largely been uninvested so far. But it has nothing to do with their play, 9 games is not a lot of season.
  17. UMFan83
    More robot ump challenges please
  18. UMFan83
    Looks like for the 10th year in a row it’s gonna take a month to figure out the pen and get them in line
  19. UMFan83
    Geez I know it’s a double header but get this dude out of there
  20. UMFan83
    Yeah I know it’s one outing but just not impressed with Brown
  21. UMFan83
    Would you take a ground ball, liner and strikeout for 0 runs scored?
  22. UMFan83
    Just realized the Cubs are going to Tampa next. Kind of cool to play the first game of their reopening.
  23. UMFan83
    Shaw homering on Easter, imagine that.
  24. UMFan83
    Does Bregman get this response at every road stadium he’s at or were Cleveland fans particularly angry about the Astros scandal?
  25. UMFan83
    A 1 hitter where the one hit was a horribly misplayed fly ball by Conforto that should have been an out. Oh well.
