  1. Nope erased by a GIDP for the 3rd of those 4 times
  2. Let’s see if this leadoff walk goes better than the first 3
  3. Who would have guessed Boyd would end up going 7 IP only giving up 2 runs based on how he started?
  4. 3rd time in 6 innings the Cubs led off with a walk. 0 runs scored, 2 of them wiped out by GIDPs
  5. Which Cubs hit so far is your favorite? Mine is PCA’s double
  6. When the Cubs aggressively go after the first pitch as a strategy they have like 1 hit in the 4th inning and the pitcher is at 35 pitches.
  7. They move everyone else down in the lineup but Seiya hasn’t hit in 10 weeks and he’s still 3rd every game last 42 games: 188 .328 .243 .571
  8. Win number 81 means the Cubs have finished at .500 or better 9 times in the last 11 years. And obviously the next win will make it “over .500” 9 of last 11 years
  9. I mean I do remember hearing murmurs about his work ethic last year when things were going south...I think those were circulated on 670 but don't remember who was "reporting" it. But yeah none of the reputable sources have said anything like that especially this preseason in particular which by all accounts Caleb has been engaged, working his ass off, taking well to coaching, etc.
  10. im reading more, this guy is a packers fan and his likely sources are coaches let go after last year (which makes sense given some of what was reported). Oh well I'll leave it up but by no means should it be treated as fact.
  11. No idea how reputable this guy is and I don't have paid access but it sounds like a long form piece breaking down and criticizing Poles' process for drafting Caleb. Obviously take everything with a huge grain of salt as it sounds like a hit piece but figured I'd share anyways https://www.golongtd.com/p/house-of-dysfunction-part-i-the-curious https://www.golongtd.com/p/house-of-dysfunction-part-ii-inside This is how Grok summarized it: Part 1: Part 2:
  12. Agreed. It was frustrating me that it was even being discussed
  13. Not really, I was just trying to be funny. I think most people don't believe strand rate is a legitimate trait a pitcher has for the most part.
  14. They took the guy out with a historic strand rate and his runners left on scored immediately. Not smart Craig
  15. I really don't understand why they keep him. I don't know anyone who likes him and he's just so bad at it after years of doing it. Pat must have a soft spot for him, but I really hope they aren't seriously grooming him as Pat's replacement.
  16. I fully expected with literally every advantage pointed the Cubs way offensively except Tucker being out that this dude would shut us down
  17. stupid streameast being raided. too lazy to look for another stream site and too cheap to reup with apple
  18. Wind is expected to be blowing heavily out to RF today and the Nats have a righty on the mound. If the Cubs can't homer today the offense really is broken.
