  1. So we’re gonna get Mastrobuoni leading off with his 2nd PA in 3 weeks. Was Madrigal hurt? Edit: ok so the guy that strikes out 40% of the time is going to hit instead. I’d honestly rather have Mastrobuoni in this situation
  2. 3 pitches and were already tied again. Yep I’m turning this off
  3. So we scored on a walk, HBP, single and error. Not sure I can watch Stro vs the top of the diamondbacks order.
  4. So basically we need a scoreless 10th otherwise we’ll have 3 teams within 1 game of us
  5. I said this a couple weeks ago I’ve never seen a team get out at home in those situations as much as the Cubs. I understand it’s go on contact and I agree with it but it seems to always burn us
  6. Dammit Swanson you have been very useless as a hitter lately. Awful AB. Should have squeeze bunted
  7. One of those baseball things that I’ve never seen happen before and may never see happen again. Batter is HBP and is out
  8. Dansby absolutely has to get this run home. He can’t strike out here
  9. Wait how is he out?? Either a HBP or a foul ball right? So confused oh I guess it went fair. Wtf
  10. Need 1 more at least to feel any bit comfortable. I don’t care how the second run scores. GIDP is even fine though not optimal edit: oh wait they said it hit his bat?
  11. Of course that horsefeathers keeps it on the IF for a fairly unproductive single. At least as far as singles go
  12. Ok I got sucked into watching. I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen the Cubs with so many HR swings.
  13. Ok that’s the only half inning I’m watching today. Not watching us get walked off or dealing with the drama of extra innings
  14. purposely not following tonight for my sanity but i caught the score. Looks like we scored 3 runs on a walk, GIDP and single and outside of that inning have done basically nothing? Yikes
  15. Wow 3 JJ McCarthy INTs, 2 inside the 10 yard line. He had 3 INTs all of last year in the regular season. I guess the rule that I am never allowed to experience rooting for a great QB is still in place
  16. Uhh you ok Michigan?
  17. Colorado is on fire. Beating SF 9-3 now. Any loss is helpful but of course it’s the one team we own the tiebreaker over
  18. It depends on how well this cold streak lasts. The way this team has gone they could easily flip a switch and go 8-2 and looking like playoff locks. They are playing bad but baseball teams dont play bad forever. Get through this weekend 1-1, get another off day and then on paper a really easy homestand. I'd rather be in our position than the other teams. Baseball is just a really weird sport, you look terrible one day or for a few days and all of the sudden things click again. Doesn't make sense to make predictions of doom or prosperity. (See this is pre-game rationality before irrational UMFan gets emotionally invested in a game)
  19. I feel bad, the fanbase was pretty hard on him. I don't think I was that hard but I questioned the strangeness of his absences. In reality all the clues were there that there was something going on in his personal life. And yeah Kyle I agree, seems strange that he even played and helps make sense of the poor performance (I hope)
  20. Giants up 2-0 early in game 1 of their DH edit: now 3-3
  21. With Candelario on the IL, unless I'm missing someone its either him, Mastrobuoni or Wisdom at 3B. Might as well stick with the guy that is putting up solid defensive numbers, Edit: I guess Morel has played 3B too so maybe he could start there when Seiya is healthy enough to play the field (I'm assuming health is a reason he was moved from RF to DH right before the game last night). But then who is your DH?
