    .010

    This team is definitely fun bad now. I still want them to win I suppose but I'm so much more chill about the whole thing at this point. I actually have more desire to watch the games now because they're usually entertaining even if most of them dont go the Cubs way.
  4. UMFan83
    Ahh thats the unique way the Cubs lose today's game
  5. UMFan83
    Bull penis sucking
  6. UMFan83
    Such is the plight of the 2024 Chicago Cubs
  7. UMFan83
    If you’re a pitcher you can definitely stand to be more selective pitching to Busch when you have 2 of the worst hitters in baseball this season hitting behind him
  8. UMFan83
    For what it’s worth he does have a 2.76 ERA his last 7 starts. Doesn’t excuse being able to do almost nothing against him today in optimal hitting conditions, but it’s a little easier to swallow knowing he’s been pitching really well lately. The Cubs still suck though.

    I'll always remember that Cuas was the bullpen help that Jed went out and acquired the one time that he attempted to be a buyer. And he almost certainly went for Cuas over potentially better options because Cuas had several years of control. The Cubs then missed the playoffs by 1 game due to several late inning bullpen collapses, many involving Cuas playing a large part. Such a Jed move.

    Yeah its crazy....thats why I was hoping there's some kind of tool that says like "Most Similar Profile: Marcus Semien" (just picked a completely random choice of players, I'm not saying he's anywhere close to similar to Morel)
  11. UMFan83
    Speaking of Baseball savant, is there a player comparison tool that finds players with a similar profile? I'd be interested to see some players with similar percentiles
  12. UMFan83
    I mean you just have to hope that the results start matching what he's doing out there. Very unusual to have this profile and have the numbers he has.
  13. UMFan83
    lol good point That's kind of what I figured but just wanted to verify. Either way those are a scary duo to have fronting your national team.
  14. UMFan83
    Dumb soccer question; who is considered a better player at this point, Bellingham or Kane?
  15. UMFan83
    Remember in 2005 when the Cubs were really struggling on offense and they randomly called up Matt Murton from AA, Adam Greenberg and sent down Corey Patterson? Not saying it necessarily worked but it felt like the Cubs were saying “this isn’t acceptable and we’re gonna try something else”. I think the Cubs went on a brief streak after that. Not sure if there’s a logical parallel with this years team but I’d like to see us find a way to shake things up and try to reduce some of the stink that is surrounding this team. Because it’s pretty horsefeathers stinky right now and after 7 weeks I don’t think “hope it gets better on its own” is going to work
  16. UMFan83
    Even if they had the 20th best offense in the league they’d win a lot more. But over the last 7 weeks they’ve statistically had a bottom 3 offense in the league, arguably the worst. you could have 5 cy young winners in your rotation but if you have the 30th best offense and the most blown saves in the league and the most base runners thrown out on the bases in the league you are going to lose a lot of games.
  17. UMFan83
    353 foot flyout that probably would have won the game if it landed. That said it was only hit 91 mph and had a .110 xBA
  18. UMFan83
    Bad luck + incompetence = bad baseball team
  19. UMFan83
    So the Cubs are going to lose because one of the Cardinals worst hitters hit a home run on a hit that had a .080 xBA and that was too much for us to overcome. Got it
  20. UMFan83
    Sad that I feel more confident about Happ, Nico and Busch coming up than I was about Morel, Bellinger and Seiya. And I have no confidence in all with Nico right now.
  21. UMFan83
    Should have horsefeathers stole 3rd. Worst BA in baseball over the last 7 weeks. You have a guy in the game that is 12-12 on SB. They already threw back to 2B twice as Bellingers AB was going. I understand Bellinger is your cleanup hitter but the whole team can’t hit just horsefeathers get him to third and hope for a productive out, which is exactly what Bellinger did. But of course the heart of the order failed and the Cubs are on their way to yet another 1 run loss with virtually no offense
  22. UMFan83
    Of course diving catch lol
  23. UMFan83
    Steal 3rd PCA
  24. UMFan83
    Only been 2 months, just a bad stretch
  25. UMFan83
    For the billionth time our catchers come up in a critical spot and fail. Dansby had pitches to hit in his AB and couldn’t put them in play knowing a pitcher quality hitter was up after him so I blame him.
