    Leadoff double stranded because the Cubs cant seem to string 2 hits together in an inning.

    Mervis come on dude

    OK I went back and counted. The Cubs have played 6 extra innings this year. They've had a runner thrown out at home in 4 of those 6 innings.

    What I don't get is that why a team seemingly built to win in the margins seems to be absolutely horrendous at baserunning and has had some pretty high profile defensive lapses. What happened? Is it just a fluke that will correct itself? Or is it just glaring because we've played so many close games.

    I appreciate you saying that. That said, I've been doing this for years. I cant even describe what "this" is but I know when I do it. Most people just ignore me.

    Do you still put an asterisk behind all the HR records after the schedule expanded to 162 games? Either way, just to be extra annoying about it, the Cubs have lost 10 of their last 58 games dating back to last year when they had a lead in the 8th inning or later. If you watched a Cubs game last September or this year, there was a 17% chance you would see them blow a late lead and lose.

    Only 7 more games until we can finally have an off day
  8. UMFan83
    Hmm its a game we had a lead in the 8th inning or later and lost so, yeah
  9. UMFan83
    Stupid series. Could have won 3 of 4, could have lost 4 of 4. 2-2 seems appropriate but damn this team can be frustrating.
  10. UMFan83
    5th game this year we've had a lead in the 8th or later and lost. It's May 2nd

    Their reasoning was "we really need this to go our way so please find some reason to overturn it"
  12. UMFan83
    Seriously if I'm bored tonight I'm going to look up how many extra innings we've had a runner thrown out at home this year. It's gotta be like 80% of the innings.
  13. UMFan83
    Keeping our ratio of extra innings to guys thrown out at home to 1:1
  14. UMFan83
    Wow
  15. UMFan83
    All 4 of these games were neck and neck. No surprise if it ends up 2-2
  16. UMFan83
    4 pitches, 3 outs lmao
  17. UMFan83
    Fake baseball time

    Morel trying to relive Monday with a home run cut when a single was needed.
  19. UMFan83
    Damn, did not expect Tauchman to swing and miss on ball 4
  20. UMFan83
    Ali Sanchez started the season on Pittsburgh's roster (in spring training), was cut and the Cubs scooped him up. Has a .900 OPS in Iowa so far
  21. UMFan83
    I'm all for having patience this time of year but Gomes looks pretty washed all the sudden.
  22. UMFan83
    These teams combined for 11 runs total in the first 3 games, so of course the game where we "break out" for 5 runs, they match us.
  23. UMFan83
    Lead blown, damn
  24. UMFan83
    One thing that's cool to see is that while PCA isn't necessarily raking right now, he seems to look a LOT more comfortable out there. Like the PCA before his HR against the Astros probably would not have gotten a sac fly like he did yesterday. It seems like the HR allowed him to relax a bit and its showing in his subsequent plate appearances. Could still probably use more development but he seems to be trending in the right direction.

    Just want to say that this is fantastic day after content. Thank you for writing it!
