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. -
Busch is awesome
-
Seiya makes some very questionable decisions in RF
-
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.

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.

Still in a "believe it when I see it" mode but interesting...
-
The Orioles are 1-4 against the Cubs over the last 2 seasons and 157-91 against everyone else
-
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
-
that was pretty awesome
-
So congrats to Spain for winning the Euros!
-
Dansby now 1 for his last 29
-
Yeah I was gonna say, this Cubs team is not exactly known for taking advantage of good pitching matchups lol
-
Baltimore is kind of dumpy like Cincinnati, maybe they tricked him into thinking he was there.
-
Ok Ian makes it all better
-
Dude what the horsefeathers hell Seiya?
-
I haven’t really been paying attention much lately, why is Mastorbuoni all the sudden playing every game? Who am I missing that is injured? Looking at his game logs he’s certainly not getting starts based on merit.
-
Yeah...hes only 12 innings behind him, but not that wins mean anything but Shota has 7, Steele just got his 1st on Friday. But their numbers look pretty similar ERA: Steele - 2.95, Shota - 3.16 FIP: Steele - 3.33, Shota - 3.39 WHIP - Steele - 0.99, Shota 1.10 K/9 - Steele - 8.7, Shota 9.1 bWAR - Steele 1.5, Shota 1.7 I know there's much better metrics out there, just doing a quick BR glance.. They've both had their ERAs propped up by a high number of UERs (Steele 7, Shota 6). Honestly either one would have been fine, Steele has slightly better numbers but Shota has more IP and is a slightly better story.
-
Damn double post
-
agreed that its cool and its an acceptable all star selection. it could have easily have been Steele but the considering how electric he was earlier in the season, I can see why he was selected over him...the numbers seem pretty close overall
-
FWIW, at least according to Baseball Reference Happ has had a higher oWAR (so removing defense from the equation) in both 2023 and 2024. Using oWAR/162 games played for comparison purposes... 2023: Happ - 3.0, Morel - 2.4 2024: Happ - 3.3, Morel - 1.1
-
Cubs have won their 2nd 3+ game series in their last 14 series. Now 2-12-0. Woo hoo
-
So the Cubs have scored their 3 runs today on 3 plays where 4 total outs were recorded. Sounds about right lol
-
Even when our hapless catcher gets an RBI hit he still commits an out
-
Oh…ok then
-
I think that’s what they want. They’re trying to keep their pick that is tied to the Spurs next year. But just speculating, no one really has any clue what the Bulls are trying to do except stay under the luxury tax. 9 years since they were last relevant and they may be starting off another rebuild. What a franchise
