    Starting pitching last 8 games (roughly when the offense started hitting again): Of course I’m somewhat overstating it as I believe 8 or so of those runs were unearned and really bad errors, but in general the SP has regressed as the hitting has improved. Was bound to happen because the Cubs don’t have 5 inner circle HOFers in their rotation but annoying that it had to happen right as the hitting started coming around, and right as we hit a weaker part of the schedule to make the regression that much more annoying.

    I wouldn't call this "hot" but the Cubs offense has a .241/.326/.436/.762 batting line over the last 6 games. Considering their line over the 15 games prior to that was .196/.270/.285/.555 its good to see things getting more normal offensively.

    I definitely didn't think it was a home run based on the swing. Like you said the velocity on the pitch really helped that one go over the fence
  4. UMFan83
    I am shocked and stunned that the Cubs get Greene and Lodolo again right off the bat. /s

    Yes, 2 on the South Side, but the rule for the Crosstown Cup is that in the event of a tie, whoever won the Crosstown Cup the year prior retains it. The Cubs have won 2 of the 4 games, thus retain the Crosstown Cup

    Also thank you to the White Sox for reminding me that as ****** as the last month as been things can be so so so so much worse

    Cubs win the Crosstown Cup for the 3rd consecutive year. They’ve now won it 7 times vs 8 for the White Sox. Maybe the Cubs would have been swept by any other team in baseball but I don’t care a win is a horsefeathers win and we’ve been desperate for them so Go Cubs!

    Wait I wasn't watching earlier in the game, why is Nico out of the game? Also terrible AB by Bote yikes

    I tried to mostly keep quiet when Happ was struggling and everyone wanted him booted off the team. Maybe I said a thing or two out of frustration but I thought the discourse was a bit over the top (not just here, Cubs Twitter was actually much worse). Don't get me wrong, Happ is a flawed player and I can totally understand people wishing we didn't extend him for a variety of reasons. But I always expected Happ to come back around this year and he clearly has. He's a solid major league hitter and has value to this team. We seemingly go through this cycle every year with Happ.
  10. UMFan83
    C'mon Happ how about 2 days in a row with the go ahead hit late?
  11. UMFan83
    Morel is a baller for finishing off that AB when he was clearly in severe pain. Hopefully he didn't fracture something

    How we have scored today: -Fielder's choice -Fielder's choice -Balk -Wild pitch -Sacrifice fly
  13. UMFan83
    Same, when that ball was in the air I was thinking "I wish anyone other than Gomes was on 3B right now"
  14. UMFan83
    OK, would have liked to have gotten a hit but ill take the tie. 2 runs scored without a hit.
  15. UMFan83
    Runner on 3rd out outs and Seiya takes strike 3 right over the plate. Unreal. Now they’re a ground ball from causing me to lose it
  16. UMFan83
    FFS Seiya
  17. UMFan83
    Tying run on 3rd with no out. Gonna lose if it we don't at least tie it
  18. UMFan83
    Really nice job Tauchman
  19. UMFan83
    the sox are begging us to beat them
  20. UMFan83
    I believe that is the first time Gomes has reached base since May 11. 0 for his last 21 PA before that walk
  21. UMFan83
    That’s pretty much accurate and one of the funniest things about the Sox horrible season.
  22. UMFan83
    I don’t now know about having no life to them but they are remarkably deficient in so many areas. I can’t believe how poorly these pieces fit together and how exposed the holes on the roster get on a daily basis.
  23. UMFan83
    horsefeathers we suck
  24. UMFan83
    Just catching up, horsefeathers Gomes is 12-79 with a 47% strikeout rate. Even as a backup catcher that’s atrocious especially when you consider he’s last in the league in framing runs and terrible at throwing out runners. He should not be on a major league roster anymore. Sorry Yan
