    Sorry this becomes the daily chat thread. I saw Henricks was put on the IL today meaning that our IL now consists of Hendricks, Stroman, Miley and Smyly. Imagine if this was a season where fans expected us to compete when our top 4 starters are all injured. On the bright side this has given Steele and Keegan tons of major league innings and given us a chance to evaluate several other starters, though I'm not sure if anyone else has really emerged.

    Bote's contract is just as bad as Heyward's. What a dumpster fire. I have no idea why they rushed so quickly to try to extend him. It was like they were trying to tell Bryant, Rizzo, Javy, etc 'hey look we are extending people, you should too'

    Good to see the Cubs arent the only team that fails to score in bases loaded, 0 out situations
  4. UMFan83
    The rest of the guys picked him up and the Cubs have scored 4 runs

    Wow the Cubs do not think highly of Bote at all. What the horsefeathers? For those not watching, runners on 1st and 2nd, 0 outs and Bote up. Ross put on the bunt sign, Bote took 2 strikes. They kept the bunt sign on and he fouled a bunt away for a strikeout

    This is freaking hilarious. The city must be desperate to propose a Frankenfield

    With a runner on 2nd and 0 outs, you are expected to score 61.1% of the time. The Cubs have scored that runner just 38.9% of the time in extra innings this year and have failed in 10 of their last 11 extra inning innings

    I was really hoping Big Ten would grab at least 2 more west coast schools. Looks like Stanford and Cal would be the 2 more likely options at this point. Poor Washington State and Oregon State

    Correa talks about the Cubs pursuit a little in an interview/article. If he's being truthful, it may be hard to land him this offseason. Not sure if it means much but it also mentions the Cubs never made a formal offer. Of course that doesn't mean they weren't talking with him Also says this about this offseason:

    3-8. No other team has more than 6 losses. Lol
  11. UMFan83
    Cubs lose. What is their record in extras now? Like 2-9?
  12. UMFan83
    As I’ve said before. These new extra inning rules were designed to screw a team that has not been able to hit with RISP for the past decade or so
  13. UMFan83
    The Committee To Make Me Hate Baseball has decided that half of Cubs games will end in extra innings knowing how much I hate the extra innings rule
  14. UMFan83
    Wow Robertson just completely lost his command
  15. UMFan83
    And Robertson is about to blow it lol. Just like the Rizzo HR off Hader game in 2018
  16. UMFan83
    That was a bullet too. Such a fun feeling when you see the bounce and realize that an inside the park HR is possible. Love homering off Hader
  17. UMFan83
    Cubs bailed out by having Yelich’s spot in the order come up at the right time
  18. UMFan83
    Ross sucks
  19. UMFan83
    Starting to really get excited about Steele and Keegan. Blame me when he blows up next inning.
  20. UMFan83
    I wish the Cubs would win more extra innings games, mostly because I don't want my complaining about how much I hate the extra innings rules to seem like sour grapes
  21. UMFan83
    I haven't kept up with the NBA cap like I used to many years ago, but aren't they likely need to use additional space in season that would push them over that then? The tax is only applied at the end of the season so they could add during the season and cut someone to stay below the tax. heck they could have went over this offseason and made a trade or cut someone during the season. Seems like they don’t even want to come close to messing around with the tax
  22. UMFan83
    Bulls conveniently 500k below the luxury tax line…
  23. UMFan83
    That’s hilarious. Atmosphere was great tonight, obviously a bit sore that he lost to a bad team
  24. UMFan83
    There’s a group of Cubs Twitter that trolls the opposing teams Twitter account after a win which is weird but whatever. That said, this one always makes me laugh:
  25. UMFan83
    Such a weird season. They’ve had stretches where they’ve been absolutely plummeted and barely look like they should be a major league team and then other stretches where they look pretty competent and dare I say almost enjoyable
