Cubs (Steele) vs Giants (TBD): 6/24/24, 8:45pm
UMFan83 replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
You can change the catcher but he’s still gonna come out in a big spot and strike out. -
Colombia is so good

Solid performance that I enjoyed but Bolivia is also by far the worst team in the tournament and probably one of a handful of teams that will have the lowest number of supporters at their matches. If anything it worries me that we could only bury 2, there were certainly plenty of chances to bury more. Mildly concerned about a scenario where the US and Panama draw giving Panama a chance to run up the score on Bolivia and advance on GD. Lot of assumptions there though as US should beat Panama, US will probably park the bus and go for a draw or 1 goal loss vs. Uruguay making Panama need likely a +4 margin vs. Bolivia, etc (if the US loses). In reality lets hope the US wins against Panama, clinching advancement and we can just go out there against Uruguay and open it up to see how we stack up against one of the best in the world.

haha he picks the pitch that's actually a strike to complain about. L

Only -3 for the series now! Get a series win while leading the RD tomorrow
-
Not a ton…xBA on their hits Seiya - .990 Morel - .310 Swanson - .470 PCA - .910 That all 4 ended up hits is somewhat fortunate but none of the individual hits seemed that egregious.
-
Always funny when a player gets DFA’d and then his first games after catching on elsewhere are against the team that dumped him.
-
The last time the Cubs had a 5 run lead before today was April 26th in a 7-1 win over the Red Sox
-
4 run lead is the largest lead we’ve had since 2019. Or something like that
-
The go on contact play…worked?!? Season back on Edit: I’m sure it’s worked several times this year I just only notice it when it doesn’t but still
-
Oh no, this is the guy in the politics thread trying to convince us that Trump has no shot in November.

I thought I read somewhere that his most recent contract gave him more days off than before
-
So to win the Cubs have to do what they havent done in over 2 months without the benefit of historic levels of wildness? Should be easy. Oh wait its 9-1 now? we're hosed edit: The last 2 times the Cubs scored 9+ runs in a game they lost, the May 11th game vs. the Pirates, and April 16th against the Diamondbacks. The last time the Cubs score 9+ runs and won was April 5th vs the Dodgers. The Cubs have won just 1 game this year while scoring 10+ runs, a 12-2 win over Colorado on April 2nd.

Thought Imanaga was getting back on track. Maybe he is and this is just a blip or tired arm. Runs (earned and unearned) allowed last 5 starts: 7, 5 (1 earned), 2, 1, 8 I always kind of figured things would be a little tougher in the summer months given his past HR issues, but hopefully he can get it together.
-
I didnt even think about the fact that the Cubs might be playing right now. Looks like the Cubs didn't think they were playing either. Or at least Shota

Depressing article about the falloff of the 2016 Cubs: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/the-end-of-the-2016-cubs-is-coming/

Much much much worse. Caruso made everyone better defensively. I was ok with trading him but was expecting much different in return.
-
I think if the Bulls were planning on tearing it apart they would have gotten one of the 10,000 first round picks the Thunder have and not a guy 1 year away from RFA. They made this trade because they think it makes the team better (along with whatever other plans they have for the offseason). Not a fan of the trade at all but it pretty much signals that they plan on trying to win. Also one of the things that makes me roll my eyes about this trade is the fact that Giddey is actually a worse 3 point shooter and at less volume than Caruso. Not the most important consideration but this makes the Bulls a worse 3 Point shooting team for a team that has seemingly tried to avoid the modern NBA style of basketball. hopefully other offseason moves address this issue but I’m not holding my breath.
-
Even my friend who is a Boston sports fan who tries to rile me up all the time by opposing every argument I make about my teams was like 'why the horsefeathers would they do that trade?'
-
That sucks. His numbers looked solid in AAA but I'm assuming the underlying stuff wasn't as good as it seemed given not calling him up despite the Cubs bullpen issues. Realize he wasn't on the 40 but I'm sure they could have found a way to get him on it if they thought he could help.
-
On a related note, its spelled "moises ballesteros"
-
When you’re a good team you expect to find a way out of those situations. When you’re the 2024 Cubs you sadly expect the game to be blown

Damn, has Kane really slipped that far? I don’t watch a lot of Bundesliga. I know Foden and Saka have had incredible years but didn’t think they were quite on his tier. Kane might have been overrated at his peak though.
