Would have been been nice to have a guy with a 1.100 OPS since the start of August up there -
Weak perfectly placed grounder for a single, that doesn’t feel ominous or anything
-
Since were doing SSS shenanigans, Tauchman is 0-6 with 4 K's against the Pirates starter tonight.
-
More fun with arbitrary endpoints: .000/.000/.000 with 4 Ks in his last 5 ABs 😉
-
What are the odds we're in a playoff spot by Sunday evening? (btw, I realize that this had to be the rotation going into the series, just sucks to see it all laid out like that. The Rockies pitchers mostly suck but that didn't matter last week)
-
When we were counting all the times a rally/game ended with Bellinger on deck we should have been doing that with Seiya.
-
Also for those that asked about Adbert - don't expect him to come back. Doubtful on Fulmer too
-
Swanson has a .614 OPS over his last 40 games, Seiya 1.106. Makes perfect sense to hit them 5th and 6th
-
Switching topics a bit. Ignore the sensationalist text of the tweet that claims Moore responded "Tell me about it" because I don't hear that, but other team's opponents are telling Moore he isnt being used right is funny in a sad way.

Worth noting that every single WC competitor except the Phillies are off today. Considering that a long shot, here are the best and worst case scenarios after tonight: Best: WC2 - Arizona 1 GA WC3 - Cubs -- ------------------- Out 1 - Marlins 1 GB Out 2 - Reds 1.5 GB Worst: WC2 - Arizona 2 GA WC3 - Marlins Tied/ahead with tiebreaker ---------------------- Out 1 - Cubs Tied/Lose tiebreaker Out 2 - Reds 0.5 GB

Last night game of the year at Wrigley unless by some miracle the Cubs get WC1 or advance to the NLDS
-
Don't think you'll see Fulmer unless we make the playoffs. Alzolay the last thing I heard was they were hoping it was similar short stint like Fulmer which....yeah. I don't think he's eligible to come off the IL until like Monday anyways.
-
Last week the offense seemed gassed, or maybe gassed is just a convenient word when the team sucks. But this is what happens when you hit the end of your depth. Some parts work while others fall apart. Then it switches with the net result being a 3-9 stretch. We've got a rotation with 2 guys who were not really expected to start for the Cubs this year, one of them no one expected to make the majors this year. Our bullpen got overused in July and August and now half of the high leverage guys are on the IL and we're relying on failed starters and guys who don't know where the ball is going when they throw it. We've got no hitting, we've got no pitching, our pets HEADS ARE FALLING OFF
-
I agree...sputtering to the finish line. We just didn't have enough depth to make it to the end of the year. But who knows, lets see how the last 10 play out.
-
Dansby Swanson - 0/5, 4 K
-
Started to feel like that White Sox game where Stroman got shelled. Or the Mariners game
-
It's worth having him on the roster unless you want to call Mervis up, but yeah I think I'm perfectly fine with the limited playing time he's gotten. Doesn't change how I feel about him long term, he just doesn't look ready for big league pitching, even of the Pirates variety.
-
Actually now that I think about it the Cubs might be like the 98 Mets. In complete control and then just loses most of their games down the stretch.
-
PCA....still hitless
-
He had the same AB he's been having in all key situations lately. Swing at the first 2 pitches, one of them fouled off very hard, then its a matter of how many balls he takes until he swings at a bad pitch for strike 3. It's so predictable to everyone except David Ross.
-
Thats....actually a really good comp. I remember just begging guys like Mulholland and Beck to please hold up for X more games. I'd be doing the same thing with this year's Cubs guys except half of them are on the IL
-
Of course 105+ MPH liner right at someone. Thanks again Dansby would have been nice to have gotten 1 back there Edit: 104, .620 xBA
-
I want to be in the position that puts us in the playoffs lol. If that means accidently ending up WC2 so be it
-
Morel will either homer or swing at something terrible
