    Hey its me the negative stat guy at your service! If you are counting games that the Cubs have had a lead in the 8th inning or later but went on to lose, that's 10 losses

    Apparently Craig isnt even close to removing Neris from the closers role based on his postgame comments

    Cubs are now 0.5 games away from having the 6th worst record in baseball. It will be hard to drop further than that as the next team is 4.5 games ahead of the Cubs but I believe in them, they can get there.

    I think it’s funny that Jed preached flexibility and smart spending but in reality the Cubs are kind of boxed in for the next 1-2 seasons outside of help from the farm. He has a glut of highly paid average to below average players that have very little trade value but are under contract for a couple of years. There is *some* flexibility but nowhere near what Jed was obsessing over. They’re kind of hosed for the next 2 years unless the Cubs swing some very advantageous trades and get lucky or the vaunted farm system starts giving the Cubs position players with star level production

    I believe that’s the 10th loss when leading in the 8th inning or later. Like you can’t even make this horsefeathers up, there are bad players and bad decisions and all that but the team also just feels shakebit. What are ya gonna do?

    2 weeks ago I was angry Last week I was saying I wasn’t even angry anymore but still felt the sting. I felt absolutely nothing when I saw the HR. Just kind of a “meh, oh well”

    That’s horsefeathers hilarious. Keep sending him out there haha

    This team is 100% incapable of having any sort of comfortable win
  9. UMFan83
    Debating whether to laugh or cry when Neris walks the leadoff man. Tough choice
  10. UMFan83
    3 run leads are very rare for the Cubs, this should be cause for a parade down Michigan Ave Edit: nevermind they already gave up a run. But still
  11. UMFan83
    wait wtf just happened? I was watching the NBA finals lol

    This team is definitely fun bad now. I still want them to win I suppose but I'm so much more chill about the whole thing at this point. I actually have more desire to watch the games now because they're usually entertaining even if most of them dont go the Cubs way.
  14. UMFan83
    Ahh thats the unique way the Cubs lose today's game
  15. UMFan83
    Bull penis sucking
  16. UMFan83
    Such is the plight of the 2024 Chicago Cubs
  17. UMFan83
    If you’re a pitcher you can definitely stand to be more selective pitching to Busch when you have 2 of the worst hitters in baseball this season hitting behind him
  18. UMFan83
    For what it’s worth he does have a 2.76 ERA his last 7 starts. Doesn’t excuse being able to do almost nothing against him today in optimal hitting conditions, but it’s a little easier to swallow knowing he’s been pitching really well lately. The Cubs still suck though.

    I'll always remember that Cuas was the bullpen help that Jed went out and acquired the one time that he attempted to be a buyer. And he almost certainly went for Cuas over potentially better options because Cuas had several years of control. The Cubs then missed the playoffs by 1 game due to several late inning bullpen collapses, many involving Cuas playing a large part. Such a Jed move.
  20. UMFan83
    Yeah its crazy....thats why I was hoping there's some kind of tool that says like "Most Similar Profile: Marcus Semien" (just picked a completely random choice of players, I'm not saying he's anywhere close to similar to Morel)
  21. UMFan83
    Speaking of Baseball savant, is there a player comparison tool that finds players with a similar profile? I'd be interested to see some players with similar percentiles
  22. UMFan83
    I mean you just have to hope that the results start matching what he's doing out there. Very unusual to have this profile and have the numbers he has.
  23. UMFan83
    lol good point That's kind of what I figured but just wanted to verify. Either way those are a scary duo to have fronting your national team.
  24. UMFan83
    Dumb soccer question; who is considered a better player at this point, Bellingham or Kane?
  25. UMFan83
    Remember in 2005 when the Cubs were really struggling on offense and they randomly called up Matt Murton from AA, Adam Greenberg and sent down Corey Patterson? Not saying it necessarily worked but it felt like the Cubs were saying “this isn’t acceptable and we’re gonna try something else”. I think the Cubs went on a brief streak after that. Not sure if there’s a logical parallel with this years team but I’d like to see us find a way to shake things up and try to reduce some of the stink that is surrounding this team. Because it’s pretty horsefeathers stinky right now and after 7 weeks I don’t think “hope it gets better on its own” is going to work
