  1. Seriously, promising for the long term but a bit head scratching for this ab
  2. Ugh. Offense is due to for really good game at some point right? 4 and 5 runs isn’t terrible at all but they haven’t scored more than 6 runs in a game since they were in LA.
  3. Feels like the Cubs get multiple hits or baserunners in like half of their innings
  4. Not watching but see Mervis was out advancing on a single. See he’s trying to fill Rizzos shoes in all areas.
  5. 1st and 2nd 0 outs and 2nd and 3rd 1 out with Nico and Dansby up and they can’t score. Boo
  6. Hosmer back in there batting 5th. Seiya sitting is good. Wisdom sitting for the 2nd day in a row
  7. Do the Marlins have like 8 lefty relievers in their pen?
  8. Feel like Seiya should move down in the order until he’s hitting better. He’s a rally killer right now
  9. Are there any teams that aren't wildly streaky and what attributes does that team have to prevent such peaks and valleys? If they consistently hit like the 7th best team with RISP they'd be fine.
  10. I see what you are saying but 30 games is still just a small slice of the season. Last year on May 7th the Phillies were 11-15, the Braves were 13-16, the Angels were 18-11, the Mariners were 12-16 and the Rockies were 16-11. I don't consider the Phillies a bad team because they are 15-18 despite not having Harper basically all year and Turner in a terrible slump. Of course you could definitely make an argument that last year's Phillies were a slightly above average team that snuck into the playoffs with a newly created playoff spot and got hot, so maybe their reality is that we shouldn't look at them as last year's runners up and instead a team that won 87 games and is struggling to start the next season.
  11. Ahh I guess its me then, since i turned it off and the Cubs scored.
  12. I haven't been sitting down to actually watch the Cubs lately but there have been about 7 times over the last week where I've checked the score and saw the Cubs had RISP and 0 outs. Excited, I'll throw the game on my phone to see what happens. Only 1 time have the Cubs actually scored a run. Just now when I saw 1st and 2nd and 0 outs, I just laughed and turned it on expecting the worst. Teams get in funks like this, but this is beyond awful, particularly with the gauntlet scheduling coming up. They're going to be in bad shape come mid-June if they don't start playing better and quickly.
  13. Strikeout, strikeout, lazy flyout. Nice one Cobs
  14. 1st and 2nd, 0 outs. How do they ruin this opportunity?
  15. One of these days Mervis is going to be able to face a normal right handed pitcher right?
  16. Bellinger strikes out looking on a pitch in the middle of the strike zone. This team really turns into a completely different offense when runners are in scoring position.
  17. Seiya struck out on a ball in the dirt twice in the same AB with a runner on 3rd. That’s hard to do.
  18. Last year I assumed they were phasing him out but then they signed him to an extension so clearly they want him there. Probably is a part timer I guess
  19. 36 pitches in the 1st is going to change the equation for Smyly today unless he can counter with a few quick innings
  20. 👀 Probably nothing but the Cubs have gone out of their way to ignore Sammy unless directly asked about him, so interesting to see
