    Oh my....Maddon apparently got a mohawk haircut in order to help awaken the team, but got fired before he could show them lmao

    Guess we'll have to wait another few years for our first ever victory over the Yankees in New York. 0-14 now including 0-4 in the World Series and 0-2 in Spring Training to open up New Yankee Stadium in 2009

    I wouldn't fight it if he was fired but I don't really know how much is him doing a poor job. 2 of their 3 legitimate MLB starters have missed significant portions of time. Hendricks decline happened under him but he also had good years with Hottovy. Steele and Keegan have been nice surprises even if Keegan has been awful his last 2 outings. Pen has been up and down but solid in the back with Givens and Robertson (I think, I've mostly box score watched lately rather than actually watching).

    Cubs have to have one of the longest droughts between cycles right? Last one was still Grace in 1993 I believe

    Cubs are just over here breaking record after record today

    Since the Cub no-hit the Dodgers last season they have gone 52-94 in 146 games, playing at a 58-104 pace for most of a full season.

    I know this isn’t the final form product but Jed has been on a quest to change the dynamic of the offense from the issues the prior core had. Has anything appreciably changed for the better despite different players? Still seem like they are feast or famine, still seems to have massive issues with hitting with RISP. I’m just basing this on my observations, perhaps the numbers show something different.

    I'm a nerd and went through every team vs. team history to determine if the Cubs winning % against the Yankees is the lowest. It is: Lowest winning % against an opponent lifetime: Cubs vs. Yankees - 15.4% (4-22) Reds vs. Mariners - 16.7% (3-15) Athletics vs. Braves - 19.0% (4-17)

    1 run scored in 22 innings this series

    Cubs fall to 4-21 all time against the Yankees. 4-13 in inter league play, 0-8 in playoffs
  14. UMFan83
    Should have known that a format that requires you to score runs with a runner on 2nd and 0 outs was going to be bad for the Cubs

    Rizzo predictably HBP his first PA

    this is exactly it. no one expected a ton out of Frazier but there is no downside to keeping him. Heyward is aging and has had an OPS+ over 100 just 1 time in the last 7 seasons. Frazier is 27 and has actually hit well prior to last year when he was suffering from vertigo. You can rip on Frazier's defense but his dWAR is literally identical to Heyward's this season at -0.1, albeit with Heyward eating more innings. At an age of decline, atrocious hitting, below average fielding...I just don't get it except Heyward is a great guy that upgraded Ross to suites his final season.

    He's under control for longer than Frazier. Have to find out what we have here and if he will be part of the Next Great Cubs Team TM

    Do people actually browse the forum by going into individual subforums?

    Getting this started early. Sucks that this series isn't a Wrigley but will be interesting to see Rizzo playing the Cubs. Definitely seems like a guy that will tee off on his former team but we'll see.
  24. UMFan83
    Fitting that the Sox ended up losing by 2
