  1. Fangraphs now has the Cubs playoff odds at just under 90% (89.8%) based on season to date numbers. 80.4% using their projections.
  2. Obviously we root for the Phillies tonight but really either outcome is going to be fine. With a win tonight we will either be 1.5 games behind the Phillies for WC1 or 1.5 games behind the Brewers for the Central
  3. Still think he'll be an all-star caliber player but the hype machine went crazy a little too soon. The league has clearly adjusted to him.
  4. 10 games over .500 for the 8th time in 9 seasons. 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2023
  5. Come on Keegan. I'm ok with challenging the hitters in this spot but he's leaving too much over the plate
  6. Not officially.....neither starter has been announced yet. But he's almost certainly going to pitch in the game for 3 innings I would think.
  7. Dansby is looking a little better at the plate lately. Hopefully signs he's coming out of his funk
  8. Dammit, 1 inch from the inning being over, now he's getting wild
  9. Your other options are Smyly and Wesneski, assuming Ross wants to hold back Leiter
  10. Ahh Derek Law. Still appreciate his contributions to the Cubs 9th inning rally in Game 4 of the 2016 NLDS
  11. Is there something wrong with the mound today? I've never seen so many bouncing pitches in my life.
  12. Merryweather does not look on today so far. That was like a 49 ft pitch
  13. OK if this is the Palencia inning, I'm going to shut off the game and work for a bit. Really don't feel like the tension of a Palencia inning
  14. I didnt think he hit a HR but i thought it was a hit off the bat
  15. One way to get Amaya to continue swinging at pitches way outside is to call the ones he does take strikes
  16. The Cubs havent had a 100 RBI season since 2018. Bellinger is now at 80 on September 1st
  17. Maybe....he's likely going to have to pitch some point today. Might as well have it be when the lineup is full of righties. Lets see if Belli and Dansby can give the next pitcher more cushion
  18. Tied for the highest pitch count Wicks has ever had in a professional game I believe. Can't believe they got him through 5
  19. He looks awful at the plate lately. 6 for his last 48 with 0 XBH. Still walking which adds value but his contact seems to always be weak as hell
