    Yes but saying it that way wouldn’t let me vent to feel better

    Ho hum, Morel hits a 461 foot home run with a 113.6 mph exit velo. That's normal right?
  3. UMFan83
    Stro with a 5.53 ERA over his last 5. Using arbitrary endpoints but he has not looked like the same pitcher that started the season so well.

    We stinks I blame this on Brock for not letting us post this game thread in the Fred Hornkhol game threads forum lol Also appreciate the Twins helping us bring the RD down so it is more in line with our record.

    Mervis rocking a 48.3% K rate in the majors yikes. Im all for giving him the time he needs to adjust though
  6. UMFan83
    Ahh no worries, if we drop this one we have a couple get right series coming up against the *checks schedule* Astros, Phillies, Mets and Rays

    Lmao

    Well then, happy Saturday everyone!

    I would love to see the run expectancy for a team with 1st and 2nd and 0 outs and what the Cubs average this season. It seems like getting the first 2 batters on is the kiss of death for the Cubs. Can’t waste back to back hits from Barnhart and Madrigal lol

    This dude has some excellent stuff

    Bellinger seems to be in a bit of a slump the last ~10 games or so. His K% has gone up a bit and not walking as much. Seems more like an “ebbs and flow” type of downturn more than a “reverting to 2019-2021” Bellinger.

    Looks like we're in for a lengthy delay

    The Twins Daily fans are turning on minnesota. He is still posting in their game thread after the Cubs won which is annoying them.

    I didnt really watch much of the game (ironically I turned it on one pitch before Morel homered), but just went back and watched Mervis' game tying 2B and that was a really nice piece of hitting. Hopefully giving him consistent ABs is allowing him to settle in and gain some confidence.
  16. UMFan83
    Wow Morel just vaporized that ball.

    1st and 2nd 0 outs with a 1 run lead in the late innings leads to 0 runs. I’m sure that wont come back to haunt us
  18. UMFan83
    I’m sick of getting 2nd and 3rd with 0 outs and only getting a single run on a sac fly. The Cubs set themselves up for so many big innings and then just shoot themselves in the foot repeatedly. 1 run is better than 0 obviously but some of these should be 2+ run innings
  19. UMFan83
    Not watching but that looks like an extremely annoying way to give up 2 runs
  20. UMFan83
    What if it’s the Vikings that are the reason for being flexed out? 😲 Of course if the Bears are even like 6-5 by that point they’ll surely want to keep a relevant Bears team on the schedule
  21. UMFan83
    Also if they get the edge we can bore them into submission by bogging them down with pages of pedantic debate about something extremely trivial. It's your time to shine Kyle!
  22. UMFan83
    *Checks the topic* OK right thread for this. From DraftKings, every Bears line this year right now: vs. GB: -2.5 @ TB: -1.5 @ KC: +9.5 vs. DEN: +1.5 @ WAS: +1.5 vs MIN: +1 vs. LV: -1 @ LAC: +5.5 @ NO: +2 vs CAR: +2 (?!?) @ DET: +5 @ MIN: +3.5 BYE vs DET: +1.5 @ CLE: +3.5 vs ARI: -4.5 vs ATL: -2 @ GB: +2 Favored in 5 of 17 games, with 3 of those 5 games favorite due to the 3 points unofficially given to home teams, but 3 of the 12 games we are dogs because of our opponent gets the 3 points.

    Matthews is a fine player but I'll take my chances with a guy who is 7 years younger with the potential to reach a higher ceiling. There's risk that he won't of course but given where the Blackhawks are at, there's no way I would even consider it.
  24. UMFan83
    Couple of interesting things I saw about the schedule on Twitter: Bears vs. Vikings on MNF, week 12 sounds great. However, the NFL is now doing flex scheduling for MNF starting in....week 12. So very possible the Bears might be shut out of MNF for the entire season if they are flexed out The league almost chose Bears/Chiefs for the opening game but decided the Lions were a slightly better fit due to their strong finish to the season. Apparently that game was moved around quite a bit, from being pegged as the Germany game, to week 1, to week 7 before it settled in week 3.

    Out of curiosity, what did the traffic look like going over to NorthsideCubs, and did it rebound after going back up last night? Seemed like things were a little slower these last 7-10 days but now seeing more activity again. I know some friends of mine IRL that are lurkers but know I'm an NSBB lunatic were confused and asked me if the site was gone forever. Hope we didn't lose any momentum in the shift
