  1. Never as good as you are at your best, never as bad as you are at your worst. Just hate that we have the Sox this weekend. Will be annoying if they win the series.
  2. Can you imagine if Shota didn’t accept the qualifying offer and was currently doing this for another team while all our pitchers arms are randomly falling off?
  3. For those tracking, that’s 1 hit in their last 13 innings
  4. Man I feel like it's Groundhog Day. We've probably had this discussion every year this board has been around. Every team slumps, every team surges, but not many teams surge like the stretch the Cubs just finished.
  5. What was your favorite Cubs hit today? I think it was Bregman’s HR for me but I’d consider other suggestions.
  6. My favorite Boozer moment was when he celebrated an And 1 by punching a ref in the stomach
  7. I didn't hate Boozer. He was as advertised...below average athletic big that can't play defense but was a big body who could score and hit a jumper. Any disappointment I had about him was due to the fact that he was the consolation prize in the LeBron/Wade/Bosh sweepstakes. All that said, if his son is anything like his father in terms of traits and skills, I'm not terribly excited about him. If he's more explosive and athletic I feel a little better about him.
  8. Seems like my opinion is different than others but I'd be over the top happy. There are definitely questions but you are getting a 1.01 talent at 4th overall. I can understand the red flags, but I also know this is a guy who was aiming for the NBA as soon as he stepped foot on campus. You hope that whatever coach you hire can get him to buy in and watch his talent take the franchise places it hasnt been in well over a decade
  9. Ugh based loaded 0 outs and might not score a run here Edit: or not!
  10. Can’t say I’ve ever seen a teams MIs collide going for a ball up the middle
  11. The K-rate and overall in zone contact rate are very concerning but hey maybe he's a unicorn and can defy those red flags.
  12. I think this is similar to what NBA players have done with meniscus injuries. The second Rose knee injury they opted to repair the meniscus and he missed the rest of the season. When he happened again, I'm pretty sure he opted to have it removed and was back shortly after. The tradeoff is that it can shorten your career and/or cause flair ups in the future. Boyd is 35 so maybe isn't as concerned about the long term ramifications.
  13. The PCA HR was a HR in exactly one major league ballpark 😂
  14. we got no starters, we got no pen, our pitchers ARMS ARE FALLING OFF ^^poor attempt at a Dumb and Dumber joke
  15. Swanson has taken some overeager ABs lately, chasing a lot of bad stuff.
  16. Not gonna win them all, annoying way to blow this though if they dont come back.
