  1. Tying run on deck with wild Neris coming in. We've seen this movie before.
  2. He's got the pressure of trying to keep the scoreless streak going. But seriously, he's really struggling with his command.
  3. Feels like this inning has taken forever and its only been 3 batters so far.
  4. I'm nervous about every Cubs bullpen inning.
  5. Oof 4 pitch walk is not a great way to start
  6. It's crazy how it just happens out of the blue. Baseball is a weird sport and the Cubs are a weird team that seem to slump and streak together.
  7. Baseball gods realized that Little was starting to figure it out and had to put a stop to that. Can't have healthy and reliable bullpen arms on the Cubs
  8. I was a pretty big Kyle defender and even I gave up on him quite awhile ago. While this is an awesome development, it doesn't really surprise me given what we've seen from Kyle over the last decade.
  9. Michael Busch is a great reminder that sometimes you just need to let guys figure horsefeathers out. He was a complete disaster at 1B to start the season, now he's rating as average defensively. He looked so damn lost offensively for a good chunk of the season and while there's maybe still BABIP concerns there, he's got an .853 OPS for the season and on pace for more than 4 wins this year. Basically what I'm saying is, stick with Miles Mastrobuoni as your everyday 3B. He's gotta figure it out eventually (ok I'm not saying that)
  10. For 2.5 freaking months I’ve been saying it’s just a bad stretch and teams get hot and cold throughout a long season and for 2.5 months the Cubs continued to suck until we all gave up and then and only then they decided to play well again.
  11. Seiya makes some very questionable decisions in RF
  12. I’m pretty sure my subscription to NSBB Premium back in 2004 guaranteed me access to all paywalled content in perpetuity, just tell @Tim, he’ll straighten this out for me.
  13. I was at a 0.5/10 care a few days ago. I'm at a 1.5/10 now. We knew they would eventually have to play a better at some point, they weren't a 55 win caliber team. They still have a shitload of ground to make up. They showed they could (almost) do it last year and their starting pitching will keep them in most games, but it would still take a prolonged stretch of great play to make it interesting. The only difference is, I don't think Jed is as eager to sell as he was last year (nor does he have the chips to do so) so they probably have a bit more time to work with assuming they showed some sustained improvement.
  14. Still in a "believe it when I see it" mode but interesting...
  15. The Orioles are 1-4 against the Cubs over the last 2 seasons and 157-91 against everyone else
  16. Cubs have won their past 2 series. Prior to that they were 1-13 in their previous 14 series of 3 games or more. Weird ass team
  17. So congrats to Spain for winning the Euros!
  18. Yeah I was gonna say, this Cubs team is not exactly known for taking advantage of good pitching matchups lol
  19. Baltimore is kind of dumpy like Cincinnati, maybe they tricked him into thinking he was there.
