  1. Since you said that he went to 3-1 on the 8 hitter, hit the 9 hitter and gave up a fly ball that was 2 inches shy of a game tying HR lol
  2. Seiya with the 2 hardest hit balls of the night, 107 MPH (.590 xBA) and 103.9 mph (.450 xBA and a HR at Wrigley)
  3. I know we’ve been saying this for awhile but bases loaded 0 outs and 2-3-4 due up, you need to do better than 1 run
  4. Damn Seiya has hit 2 hard balls tonight and all he has to show for it is a sac fly
  5. Walks the first 2 guys easily and then throws like 11 strikes in a row (including balls swung at)
  6. Ben was not satisfied until that last drive
  7. That’s the best play I’ve seen Rome make as a Bear
  8. Bears have already started incorporating quick screen passes to prevent Caleb from holding onto the ball too long. This is a completely different Caleb, much less decisive, hanging onto the ball. I know I’m overreacting to a preseason game but it looks so much like last year
  9. Blah blah blah preseason, this is sobering. Mahomes has 139 yards passing through the first quarter. Caleb had 4 games last year where he didn’t reach 139 passing yards.
  10. This is a rough watch. Hasn’t Mahomes proved enough tonight?
  11. 3 times now Caleb has seemingly held onto the ball too long.
  12. Mahomes is still trying to stick it to the Bears for not drafting him
  13. And the Bears starting offense fumbles a hand off, gets a false start and then Caleb holds onto the ball and has to throw it away
  14. Well it’s the entire Chiefs starting offense and it’s still preseason but that was not a great looking defensive series for the Bears
  15. Cubs fans/media are incredibly whiny right now, Not even really talking about here, mostly twitter and radio. Calling Counsel a colossal failure, Tucker a bust that they dont even want to resign (when 2 months ago they were saying the Ricketts would be cheapasses if they didnt offer him $500m). Not just random twitter users, radio guys, beat guys all questioning everything assuming that they know better than the guys doing it for a living. I'm not saying that we might not have an outside perspective that has merit, but in general Craig knows what he's doing. 1908 laid out a perfectly reasonable argument for why Shaw didn't play today. Bottom line is we came into today 6 games out in the Central and 6.5 games up in the WC. Division was super unlikely, the WC is super attainable barring historic collapse. How do you prevent collapse? By keeping guys fresh. I'm not saying I love the job Craig is doing necessarily (especially being pantsed by the small market team he was stolen from despite IMO a superior roster) but like this is the kind of stuff we hired Craig for. To prevent what happened in 2023. Now we're in the position where only a collapse worse than 2023 would keep us out of the playoffs, so lets maybe let the man do his job.
  16. Just in case it wasn’t obvious that person was trying to be funny. He posts stuff like that all the time pretending to have meatball takes. but maybe that is blatantly obvious to everyone
  17. The Cubs only scored more than 4 runs once on this 8 game homestand (barring a 4 run outburst in the 9th). But will finish 5-3
  18. Well at least once we get past PCA we're past the brutal top of the order so we could have a chance to get another run in the last 2 innings.
  19. oh look Seiya takes a strike 3 on the inside corner. that never happens
  20. guess they did have a lefty available, just saving it for the L-L-R-L part of the lineup
  21. Remember when Reese McGuire hit 2 HRs in his first game with the Cubs?
