  1. Another mostly bad day for other results. The Reds did lose, but at the expense of the Brewers. Cubs remain 6 gb in the Central The Diamondbacks also lost, but the Marlins and Phillies won and the Giants are leading late, so assuming the Giants win, the Cubs will gain 0.5 games in the Wild Card and finish the night 4.5 GB Cant believe the Diamondbacks are out of a playoff spot currently. 5-14 this month for them.
  2. I guess I’ll take a draw given how this match started. Assuming everyone beats Vietnam, USA will advance with a result against Portugal and be eliminated with a loss
  3. Cubs offense has been really solid this month. Since 7/2, they’ve scored at least 3 runs in every game except 1 (where they scored 2 runs) and have scored 5+ runs in 14 of their last 20 games
  4. 3rd time in his last 6 starts that he couldn’t make it out of the 4th inning.
  5. Lmao can’t even get 1 out on that play? Yikes.
  6. Who would have thought trading Stroman could actually increase the Cubs chances of making the playoffs this year /s Hes been pretty bad since the London series/blister. Wonder what’s going on with him…contract stuff getting to him maybe? I mean he’s not a 2.28 ERA pitcher or whatever he was before this run but hes pitching like Taillon has most of this season.
  7. Edit: Wrong thread
  8. They look terrible against Netherlands tonight
  9. How concerned should we be that Ian Happ is hitting .202/.329/.318/.647 since mid-May? (237 PA).
  10. I know Stroman wants to stay here but he doesn’t have to torpedo his trade value to get what he wants. His ERA has gone up a full run over 5 starts
  11. Also seeing rumors on twitter that there is another Pac-Whatever team strongly considering a move, a "non-4 corners state" school so basically Washington, Washington State, Oregon, Oregon State, Stanford or Cal. Not sure if they are also targeting Big 12 or another school
  12. Barnhart has been better with the bat of late I guess (.799 OPS in his last 36 PA!) and understand they like his work behind the plate, but hate when he's in the lineup 2 days after an off day for a critical game especially when they have a catcher who is hitting much better than him this season and is seemingly appreciated behind the plate as well.
  13. Alternate way of looking at that is the Cubs can get to 4.5 games out of the WC at a minimum with a win today. DBacks also losing 1-0 but its early. They'd also need the Phillies to lose tonight (I think) to finish the night 4 games out.
  14. FWIW I've read multiple reports that the Sox are close to trading Lynn and have already gotten as far as exchanging names with the Rays. There's certainly a chance he does not end up starting tonight.
  15. Funny, I watched some of the CSN rebroadcast while I was playing TOTK last night and earlier in the game Benetti was talking about how the Cubs have everything to play for still this season while the Sox do not.
  16. It's officially "look too much into training camp performance" season and I starts off positively
  17. Cole Kmet getting paid. I like Cole but interesting choice for first Bears player extended this season.
  18. The logic here completely makes sense, not disagreeing with that, but I find it funny that the pitcher who is publicly lobbying to stay here and get an extension is the one likely to be traded and the hitter who signed here for 1 year to improve his market value and has Scott Boras as an agent is the one more likely to stay. Again, I get it especially with the QO on the table for Bellinger, but its funny on the surface.
  19. The Cubs have been on a heater ever since PSD users started showing up. Can't be a coincidence right?
