    Their reasoning was "we really need this to go our way so please find some reason to overturn it"

    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.
  3. UMFan83
    Keeping our ratio of extra innings to guys thrown out at home to 1:1
  4. UMFan83
    Wow
  5. UMFan83
    All 4 of these games were neck and neck. No surprise if it ends up 2-2
  6. UMFan83
    4 pitches, 3 outs lmao

    Fake baseball time

    Morel trying to relive Monday with a home run cut when a single was needed.

    Damn, did not expect Tauchman to swing and miss on ball 4

    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

    I'm all for having patience this time of year but Gomes looks pretty washed all the sudden.

    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.
  13. UMFan83
    Lead blown, damn

    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!

    Agreed, several of the Cubs recent wins since the injuries have felt at least somewhat lucky to have won. Tonight scoring 1 run and getting that play at the plate, Monday getting no hit for 7+ innings and Morel taking a break from his massive slump to homer, the PCA HR game against Houston, the Cubs getting out of several jams in the 2nd game against Houston. Of course you could argue luck is largely the Cubs pitching much better allowing them to withstand a pretty massive team wide hitting slump, and that's part of it. Either way, I feel very fortunate that we've been able to bank these wins during this period. Win tomorrow and its a winning road trip against 2 pretty good teams without several of our best players.

    Part of me agrees with you, the other part of me thinks that Alonso beat the throw by so much that the ump had to have somehow seen something that made him ignore how much later the ball got there.
  18. UMFan83
    I don't think its a stretch to say that Neris is actually pitching worse as closer than Adbert did before getting demoted. But obviously he's only allowed 1 HR and most importantly he's 5 for 5 in save attempts. Baseball is a weird sport lol

    Mets seem to be taking this well

    Honestly, I thought good PBP was enjoyable and bad PBP was background noise but Zaidman has taught me that bad PBP can actively lessen my enjoyment of following the game. I was legitimately upset when I realized I was going to be in the car for the 9th knowing that I had to rely on his attempts to describe what's going on during a tense moment. I'm still not quite sure what happened on the double that PCA tried to catch. Was it a HR he brought back in? Was it a catchable ball that he didnt come up with? Somewhere in the middle? Who the hell knows...I'll have to catch a replay.
  21. UMFan83
    That was awesome but being stuck in the car having to listen to Zaidman call it ruined some of the excitement. He kept saying that there were 2 outs after Happ's play at the plate. He said it so much that Coomer must have believed him and when they confirmed the outcall he said "ok then, 2 outs now for the Cubs". And it took maybe 10 more seconds until they realized that the game was over and the Cubs had won. Anyways, get better relievers and start hitting again. The fact they keep winning despite the lack of those 2 things is amazing, this team will be good when they're whole
  22. UMFan83
    This is not a serious team
  23. UMFan83
    Lmao. Not allowed to be easy
  24. UMFan83
    Welp, Neris with a 1 run lead facing the heart of the order
  25. UMFan83
    Really tough to watch Busch hit lately. Well all of the offense really I suppose.
