  1. Assad has lost his command. 4 pitch walk and HBP
  2. Caroll GIDP but the DBacks got 1 more run so it’s 6-4
  3. Yeah I kind of figured. His peripherals were screaming regression but that doesn’t mean he can’t be a solid starter. And while he’s thrown a ton of pitches and had quite a few baserunners tonight, he hasn’t allowed a run through 3 IP
  4. Belli has committed 3 outs in 2 PA despite having a hit lol
  5. He should know by now it’s his 2nd season here, he’s probably played 30 whole games here by now.
  6. Wesneski’s gonna go multiple innings in this one with the rate Assad’s PC is going. KB up with the bases loaded
  7. Ugh bloop fly ball that landed right between 3 cubs and inches fair
  8. Then your parents were just on TV I think. I’m only half watching but I think they just showed his parents
  9. Assad did not look great last start and not a promising start today. Hopefully he settles in
  10. I wasn’t watching, how did PCA get out on the bases? My score bug says he hit into a fielders choice, a run scored and then on the next line down it just says “PCA Out” Edit: oh I guess caught stealing
  11. So the players PFF graded poorly looked bad in film review and the players PFF graded better did well? Imagine that 😂
  12. So many horsefeathers TOOTBLANS of late. Come on
  13. Wish this dude had an era in the 5’s instead of over 7. Every single inning we fail to score will irrationally upset me lol
  14. I was just thinking yesterday about the Buffalo Bills went from a perennial SB contender in the early 90s, then went through 25 year period where they were basically the laughing stock of football, worse than us even. Their fans were probably wondering when it would ever end and felt like the organization was broken, etc. But they've managed to put it together and now are one of the best teams in the AFC. Sure largely aided by getting Josh Allen, but they actually managed to develop him unlike every Bears QB in team history. They hoped for things to get better and it did. We hope for things to get better and then hire Matt Eberflus.
  15. Here it comes, I’m going to watch it even though I know it will make me miserable
  16. It's not the route I would take, but there's 2 outs. I don't think its crazy to not hold the runner and give the 1B a better chance to make that final out. But I'm sure someone in here will make an argument for otherwise. Basically I think its the wrong move, but the announcers didn't need to be ridiculously animated in their disapproval.
  17. He complained about the fans booing last year too. I mean I get it, I'm sure they are trying hard (well, most of them *coughChaseClaypoolcough*) but they haven't had to root for this team for 30 years, to get our brains beat in by our rivals during that whole time. There are some frustrations with the current team but a lot of the anger and booing is built up from the 30 years of sucking and waiting for the tables to finally turn in the rivalry. Not fair to them but they should understand where it's coming from.
  18. Really? Why haven't you shared this perspective with us before? 😄
  19. I just hate when in the moment you are thinking "this is a terrible idea, why are you doing this?" and then it backfires as you expected. Of course when the move works the complaints stop immediately. At the end of the day though David Ross knows 1000x more about baseball than me and also has access to a lot more data than I do and its his job to study it. Its possible he's misevaluating Cuas, but more likely there's a reason he left him in while laboring and allowing the previous 3 batters to reach and didn't bring in someone else.
  20. Definitely feels very Friedman. The Mets will find some way to horsefeathers it up though
  21. If you still want to believe the Bears can turn it around and try not to overreact to week 1 then the Bears must win this game. They're not going to beat the Chiefs in KC. So win this game or we start talking draft positioning, if we aren't already.
  22. I was talking with a friend who is a Jets fan before the game and was telling him that it would be so Jets if Rodgers came out, threw 4 INTs and the Jets got dominated. Then I realized no, that would be so Bears. Then Rodgers got hurt and I thought "ok now THAT is so Jets"
  23. The next great Japanese import is likely coming this offseason, and looks like Jed Hoyer is interested. Cubs had scouts at his last start (which was a no hitter), and now Jed Hoyer himself is flying to Japan for his next start. Figured Jed taking a trip to Japan made it worth starting a thread to discuss Yamamoto.
  24. For whatever reason Jersey has created the game threads the last 2-3 seasons. We usually just wait for him. Nothing from preventing you from creating one
