    Ok that was very ****** Dansby. Come the horsefeathers on dude. does he have the yips or something?
  2. UMFan83
    Alzolay against one of the best HR hitters in baseball. Either a confidence booster or completely demoralizing. edit: confidence booster!
  3. UMFan83
    Dammit Tauchman. Bad time to strike out with a runner on 3rd
  4. UMFan83
    He's 2 OAA so far this year which is tied for 9th among SS. Last year he was 1st with 20 OAA, a full 4 more than the 2nd best SS. Yeah its seemingly slipped but its also just 1 month in the season. TBH, I'm not a very big Swanson fan at all but give it a couple more months...he's a really streaky bat, maybe he's a streaky glove too lol Edit: Also I should mention his bWAR this year is 0.6, which is 2nd among the big 4 SS of 2023 behind Turner. Correa is at 0.2 and Bogaerts is at -0.2.

    Wait the Mets scored a run how?

    Just for fun, record at the end of April for recent Cubs teams 2024: 19-11 or 18-12 2023: 14-13 2022: 8-13 2021: 11-15 2020: COVID 2019: 15-12 2018: 16-10 2017: 13-11 2016: 17-5 2015: 12-8 So if they win tonight it will their 2nd best record at the end of April over the last 10 years (by winning %). If they lose, they'll be tied for 3rd best (2016 and 2018 being better, tied with 2015).

    Alzolay this year when he was the closer: 1.40 WHIP, 7.78 FIP, 3 saves in 7 chances, 0.4 HR/IP, 8.1 K/9, 9.5% walk rate Neris since becoming the closer - 1.50 WHIP, 8.18 FIP, 4 saves in 4 chances, 0.25 HP/IP, 9 K/9, 22.2% walk rate I know these are just a couple of isolated stats and there's sample size issues and so much more, I'm not actually saying anything other than its amusing to me that Neris is arguably pitching worse as a whole than Adbert but so far has gotten results.

    Is there anything notable about Tauchman’s profile this year that would suggest what he’s doing right now is sustainable? Obviously he had a really solid season last year and had a particularly hot stretch in July/August but did level off a bit the rest of the year (but still solid year overall). With all the injuries hitting/getting on base right now is so crucial for us. Not expecting him to randomly be a .900 OPS hitter at age 34 but would be nice if what he is doing is somewhat sustainable.

    Crazy ass Joe Borowski wannabe
  10. UMFan83
    Feel like Neris should not be the closer
  11. UMFan83
    I’ll swear the first hitter walks like 60% of the time in Cubs save attempts
  12. UMFan83
    I hate that I have to be so nervous about a save attempt with a 2 run lead
  13. UMFan83
    Alright top of the order due up Nico, Tauchman and Happ
  14. UMFan83
    Well he tried but couldn’t hit it hard enough lol
  15. UMFan83
    Ugh double play coming right up
  16. UMFan83
    6 outs away from a no hitter. Those injuries aren’t hurting us at all /s
  17. UMFan83
    I've definitely had that thought. The astronomically high asking price, the willingness to forego ownership but also demand revenue from other events as if they owned the stadium. Seems like a lot of things that were designed to be serious sounding enough to get AH to cave on the tax issues and ridiculous enough that they know there is no way they will be able to get their demands approved in Chicago giving them an easy out to go back to AH.
  18. UMFan83
    Gotta find a way to piece together a some wins over the few weeks without the players who account for probably 40% of our projected WAR this year.
  19. UMFan83
    He's our best healthy reliever so I'm guessing injured since thats what happens to all of our good players.
  20. UMFan83
    I know that was a tough play, and that the runner probably tags and scores anyways, but we pay you to catch that Dansby.
  21. UMFan83
    Leiter does not have it tonight. Supposed to be the one dude we an rely on lol
  22. UMFan83
    Welp, 1st and 3rd with 0 outs. Good effort
  23. UMFan83
    I keep waiting for the “good” part of the Cubs lineup to be coming up and then I realize there isn’t one without Seiya and Bellinger while Morel and a few others are slumping. There are still good hitters in the Cubs lineup just not much of a fearsome section that you look forward to.
  24. UMFan83
    So weird when it feels like the team is rolling and then 2 days later it feels completely different like they can’t do anything right. Mets have lost 5 of 7, hopefully we’re catching them at a good time.
  25. UMFan83
    So that’s 60% of our starting rotation including our ace, our 2 best hitters and probably best reliever all hurt.
