Good news is you can also watch the Bulls get blown out if you get bored of the Cubs getting blown out. Typical Chicago sports fans dilemma. LSU/Iowa it is -
Flipping back to the game and seeing the Brewers hit a 2 run single to blow open the game
-
Cubs offense goes 1,2,3
-
I understand the whole Leiter reverse splits thing but it seems crazy to me that we don’t have a lefty in the pen.
-
I feel like I got a little spoiled watching our starters going 6 IP with 0 ER
-
Well there’s a hit outside the top 3
-
1, 2, 3, but 2 hard hit balls

The Dansby Swanson Appreciation Thread
UMFan83 replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I thought I remembered when the Cubs signed him that his range was actually rather average, but he was elite at making plays that he got to. Doesn't seem to be the case with some of the plays he's made so far. -
Had a random discussion with some friends about it and wanted to see if anyone had an opinion on the following question: Is Jed "trying" this year? Did he build this team with the intent to make the playoffs? My response was that it was similar to last year where we built a team with the hope that the pieces fit well enough to be in the hunt by the deadline. If we were then we might buy, otherwise, we sell. Obviously, this year is a little bit further along with some of our additions. We don't have as much garbage on the roster in 2023, but there are still obvious holes on the team. I think Jed hopes to win, but if you caught him at a candid moment he'd admit that the team is more likely than not to miss the playoffs and that he's still building and ideally targeting next year to "try".

Yan Gomes hitting 5th, our 3rd string catcher starting at DH, Patrick Wisdom in RF, the 2023 Chicago Cubs everyone!

Mad Men has failed us Long live Succession Yes Greg the Egg, for real. Big (for the Cubs) FA signing Jameson Taillon makes his Cubs debut vs. one of the random Brewers pitchers I don't really pay any attention to because they aren't Burnes or Woodruff. Oh horsefeathers my bad, no more Mad Men... Dansby Swanson, probably: My prediction, the Cubs will win 7-4 (btw, holy horsefeathers there are so many good Succession gifs that are fitting for game threads in the gif searcher, enjoy)

I’m just glad you allowed permanent editing so I am guaranteed to be correct at the end

This is being overly negative about a single loss in the 2nd game of the season, not trying to take too much out of one loss at all, but it made me look up the winning percentage of Theo’s 3 year gut rebuild and compare it to Jed’s 1.5 year “don’t call it a rebuild” retool Theo: .412 winning % (68-94 average over 162 games) Jed: .432 winning % (70-92 average)

Long live the reign of UMFan83! (Whoever’s next be ready to start Monday)
-
I was willing to give him a few weeks to see if a 27 year old former MVP could find his form again. And I still will. But initial results are not encouraging
-
Trying not to overreact to 2 games but man has he looked bad. Just looks cooked
-
Series W tomorrow
-
Does this ump even understand the concept of pitch framing?
-
Thank you for keeping it to a 1 year deal Jed
-
Alright we got a rally going with 4-5-6 due up. Bellinger, Mastro and Rios lol
-
Who needs power bats when Swanson can drill one directly off pitcher’s pitching arms?
-
There’s just not really a single guy in the lineup that is a legitimately good hitter AND has good power. We have a few legitimately good hitters but they’re not particularly great power hitters. Swanson and Happ are solid but not middle of the order power solid. Then we have some power bats like Rios and Wisdom but they’re not particularly good hitters
-
As people said coming into the year the Cubs are gonna play a lot of low scoring games. You hope that defense and pitching is good enough to compensate for what is likely a bad offense. hopefully Mervis and Morel keep hitting and the Cubs can stay afloat long enough to trade for a bat at the deadline.

Wow that fell apart in a hurry. Shouldnt have gloated about the Brewers not scoring a run lol
