    If we drop this, 7-7 since the Mets series and 4-4 since we started playing very bad teams that are out of the race. I guess it happens in baseball, but horsefeathers this is so annoying.
  2. UMFan83
    I wasn't necessarily clamoring to pull Taillon this time, but 2nd straight game Ross is pulling his starter mid inning after giving up 4 runs in the inning.

    horsefeathers hell what the heck, 1 strike away
  4. UMFan83
    And its tied
  5. UMFan83
    Well this got bad in a hurry
  6. UMFan83
    Through 5. At 75 pitches so very unlikely to be able to finish this but can probably go 2 more innings at this rate.
  7. UMFan83
    Gotta say the offense definitely looks like it's coming out of the slump a bit. Yesterday was encouraging too.
  8. UMFan83
    I was literally thinking about using the Jesse Pinkman gif
  9. UMFan83
    His second was a teensy bit better

    4/5 after Wisdom weakly strikes out on a ball in the dirt.
  11. UMFan83
    1-0 Cubs
  12. UMFan83
    Good start Cobs
  13. UMFan83
    Game is in a rain delay, expected to start at 12:45 ct

    FWIW -

    Jordan Wicks scratched from today's start, reportedly non-injury related PCA also not in Iowa's lineup but is still with the team so probably not a call up. Wicks might be.

    i wish there was a reaction button for 'wtf are you on about now tom?'
  17. UMFan83
    That doesn't sound fun to me.

    I mean Ross heavily implied postgame that he's starting again on Sunday. That doesn't mean he ultimately will but your article speaks of certainty that Smyly is done starting and I'm not convinced that's the case yet.
  19. UMFan83
    Now 5 teams within 1 game of each other for 2 playoff spots.
  20. UMFan83
    Actually that's pretty brilliant of Ross. Gonna lose anyways, might as well throw Smyly out there.
  21. UMFan83
    I mentioned earlier that Ross in the PG presser all but confirmed he’s starting on Sunday. He said something about giving him some grace.

    So instead of trading Alonso to the Cubs, they kept him and he single-handedly won the Mets 2 games against the Cubs. Good stuff. I'm not a huge Alonso fan at least relative to others, I like him and would happily take him but he'd be below Ohtani and Bellinger on my offseason priority list, especially knowing it would take prospect capital to acquire him.
  23. UMFan83
    For this one, they finally get rid of Brent Seabrook's (yes seriously) LTIR hold of $6.875m after this season. Hagel's extension starts after this year so it fits right in.
  24. UMFan83
    Meh you are probably right but 5-2 is reasonable to me when 5 of those games are against teams a combined 60 games under .500 and the Cubs have been facing nothing but starters with ERAs over 5 for the last 5 games
  25. UMFan83
    Maybe...he's only really affected 1 start so far, tonight right? Not that the Cubs should have expected to go 7-0 in this stretch but 4-3 is probably below expectations. They haven't been playing well lately, but have been fortunate enough to bank wins. They may have banked this one too if the Cubs had another option at SP. The true frustrating part is the Diamondbacks went from one of the worst teams in baseball to unbeatable overnight. And the Rangers have probably cost the Cubs 10% in playoff odds over the last week.
