  1. I’d love to see what the Cubs % of getting runs home from 3rd and less than 2 outs is compared to the rest of the league. Seems like we’re really failing in those situations often lately. But I could be completely wrong
  2. Hendricks has allowed 4 ER in 4 innings and his ERA has gone down almost 3/4 of a run
  3. Shocker the run on contact play fails again. Every single time. and I’m not even necessarily pissed about calling that play, just that it always always always blows up in their face
  4. Omg he’s gonna come up every big spot in this game isn’t he
  5. When is the last time Morel has had a day off? Seems like we’re tripling down on his getting out of his horrific slump by playing him every day and at a critical spot in the order
  6. Morel up in another big spot. Hope the outcome is better this time
  7. Damn not scoring there with the heart of the order is pretty disappointing
  8. Terrible AB by Morel after the first 2 reach
  9. Kyle Hendricks started the game the Cubs won to win the Pennant and the game the Cubs won to win the World Series. That is all.
  10. Funny thing about the gauntlet we thought we were playing, the Cubs have only faced one team all year that is currently over .500 and that is the 12-11 Dodgers. Then after the Astros, we hit a part of the schedule that I thought would be a bit of a break from the gauntlet but the next 3 series will be the 3 toughest series of the year based on current record, the 12-10 Red Sox followed by the 12-8 Mets and then the 13-6 Brewers. Now of course just because the Dodgers are 12-11 doesn’t mean that they aren’t significantly better than the Red Sox or Mets. Just thought it was funny how that all played out with the teams we played.
  11. If it’s not Leiter or maybe Smyly you have no horsefeathers clue what you’re gonna get from a Cubs reliever
  12. I was gonna lose my mind if Neris walked the first hitter on 5 pitches
  13. Cubs have the lead in the 8th inning or later, meaning that they have a whopping 75% chance of winning the game based on results this year
  14. Morel needed that. Especially after swinging at the previous 2 pretty hittable pitches.
  15. For all the talk about wanting to give guys an entire game off instead of PH in one of the DH games, Morel's really one of the guys to play both games? Dude needs a day off badly. Here comes TT with "well actually here's the exact reason why he had to play both games" explained with irrefutable evidence to the point where you feel stupid for ever deciding to comment on the game of baseball. (Love you TT)
  16. Watch the Marlins and Astros breaking out of their season long funks at Wrigley. Couldn't have waited another week. Sadly Imanaga's first ERs in the MLB and the Cubs trail.
  17. my stance is that bunting with Amaya is fine, hitting Canario is fine, doing both of those things seems like a waste of limited resources.
  18. Normally you just deal with the ****** loss and are ready to watch the next day but I have absolutely no desire to watch game 2 after watching how game 1 ended. Hope the bats come out big and score some runs. ' edit: dammit this was yesterdays game thread
  19. I can’t think of any recent seasons where a few blown games had a dramatic impact on the outcome of the season.
  20. Because Jed hinted that the finish to the season last year with all the late blown games was part of his evaluation and he went out of his way to fire Ross to hire someone who was supposed to help us win 1 run games and instead the new guy is blowing games at an even higher frequency he was last September. I don’t typically put a lot of weight on manager impact, but it’s gotta be a little humorous to him
