  1. Damn, Happ just missed getting 2 more home. That would have made me a lot more comfortable about this game
  2. Yet another would be Cubs HR missing by inches. 3rd one this homestand
  3. Candelario needs to work on his flip lol, way closer than it needed to be.
  4. Sweet guy with control issues asked to come in with 2 men on base
  5. This feels like one of those games that if I watch long enough is going to make me angry so going to find some other thing to do this gloomy Saturday afternoon and hope I'm wrong 🙂
  6. He’s gotta get pulled. He doesn’t have it
  7. Seems like the wet weather is really affecting Assad
  8. Threw either 3 balls or 6+ pitches to all 5 hitters that inning.
  9. Survived only allowing 1. Unfortunately the never ending lineup of mashers will start over next inning
  10. Cubs will lose no ground today in the WC or the division.
  11. Pirates still up 4, Philly and Miami lost, DBacks losing, Padres losing. Giants idle
  12. They really should just merge with the Mountain West. I don’t know how that looks for other sports though or academics. Stanford is like the most successful college athletic program ever. I know football brings in like 90% of all athletic revenue and men’s basketball another 9.5% and they aren’t historically great there and that’s all that matters, but they are typically good at most other sports.
  13. Nah some of them were definitely undermarket. Players like Acuna took the guaranteed money earlier in their careers knowing that it might end up costing them money. https://www.theringer.com/platform/amp/mlb/2019/4/2/18292766/ronald-acuna-jr-contract-extension-atlanta-braves
  14. I saw somewhere that Morton was scheduled to start Sunday, unless I read it wrong
  15. What makes their intensity level high today? My point is that its baseball and the better team doesn't always play better over a 3 game series. Any individual 3 game segment of the season is a weighted crapshoot. The Cubs are red hot and playing at home, you shouldn't expect them to get their ass kicked, though clearly it was a potential outcome
  16. I think one of the things I hate most about the Braves is that they were like 'oh Freddie Freeman is getting older lets just replace him with Matt Olson' and now Olson is on pace for like 57 HRs this year.
  17. I disagree, this really hurts our chances of winning the Run Differential title
  18. It's baseball though, the White Sox took 2 of 3 from Atlanta. The Cubs came in hot and at home....I didn't expect a humbling. I think the biggest factor is that the Braves sat in their Chicago hotel rooms and watched the Cubs play until 10pm last night.
  19. The somehow is the part that needs to be figured out. I have no idea how pretty much all of their players signed long term mostly under market extensions to play in some generic ballpark in a suburb of Atlanta for the majority of their careers.
