  1. I can’t ever remember the team looking as fun as it’s looked the last 2 games. So many “woah” moments from the US attack. Not to take too much from 2 games but this generation’s ceiling seems higher than I expected and it was already relatively high
  2. We were having too much fun with Gio so the soccer gods had to take him away from us 😞
  3. This is horsefeathering FUN
  4. I get how they could take on his salary, just crazy how they were able to get another star, albeit one with a gigantic contract, despite not having any 1sts a few months after trading for Durant.
  5. How the hell can they afford to just keep adding talent? Must be nice.
  6. Obviously it’s in not a bad result to win 2 of 3 from the Orioles but they are also the kind of series that we need to finish off when they win the first 2 to make up for the hole we built for ourselves. We had a chance to sweep each of the 3 best teams in the AL and dropped the final game against all 3 (barring 9th inning comeback).
  7. He’s improved over his last 4 starts. Earlier he was going less than 5 innings and giving up 3+ runs a game. Now he’s consistently going at least 5 but still giving up crooked numbers. Basically he’s improved enough to be considered a mediocre 5th starter, not the above average 3rd starter we signed
  8. Well it was fun watching Taillon not get lit up for 3 innings
  9. Reds about to win their 7th in a row and 10th in their last 12. I know they have a lot of young talent but are they really good enough to run away with the division? I feel like the pitching still has major question marks. But they just keep winning.
  10. 4th of July maybe??
  11. Cubs have played 7 of the 10 teams at 500 or above in the AL. If we can just ignore the 0-6 against the Astros and Angels, they are 9-5 against the rest 😂 also interesting that they’ve played 0 of the 5 AL teams below 500
  12. Finally get to 5 in a row! I mocked Ross a bit for the sacrifice bunt in the 5th but it worked and ended up being the winning run
  13. How many times have Madrigal or Mastrobuoni bunted in the last week?
  14. I’m ripping off my Twitter account here but to add to this, on this homestand, his 15 batted balls have averaged 103.1 mph with no batted ball under 93.3 mph and only 2 under 100.8 mph. From those 15 batted balls, he is 4-15 with 3 singles and a double Edit: haha Brock found my tweet. I suppose that would have been easier!
  15. Feel bad for Seiya. He’s been crushing the ball lately with so many unlucky outs. Just hit one 101.2 mph with a .580 xBA for a flyout. First AB was a 111 mph groundout with a .500 xBA
  16. Now 5-2 against the teams with the 3 best records in the AL (Rays, Orioles, Rangers)
  17. I'd say this is one of those games where we get a weeks worth of hits with RISP and then nothing, but they've been doing this for several games now.
  18. Fulmer last 8 appearances: 8.2 IP, 5 H, 0 ER (1 UER), 4 BB, 11 K. Still not super comfortable putting him in high leverage situations but seems to be getting it together more.
