    Boyd has obviously had a rough go of it the last month or so but I have more confidence in him that Shota. He's generally had one bad inning and mostly keeps it from going off the rails. Hoping the adrenaline from a playoff start gives his tired arm a boost and he pitches his ass off.

    More fun facts: There have been 20 Wild Card round series including the 8 in 2020. 16 of the 20 have been sweeps. 18 of the 20 have been won by the team that wins Game 1. In the 2 exceptions, Game 2 and 3 were won by the home team (A's over White Sox, Padres over Cardinals)

    Fun fact: The Cubs have played every NL team in a playoff game/series except 3: the Brewers, Phillies and Reds. While we can't play all 3 of them, they are all in the playoffs so we could potentially check off 2 of them if we advance far enough. Furthermore, by playing the Padres, we've played 11 different NL teams in the playoffs since 2003 (as opposed to 1984 before this series was set)

    It’s still TBD for me. I can’t see us fixing our defensive line and RB issues midseason. The oline has been a bit concerning but there’s enough talent that I have hope they figure it out. And then the mistakes, penalties, etc. if Ben is a competent coach that should improve

    Total game for this meme

    Similar to last years gauntlet. The average record of our last 8 opponents last year was like 12-5
  7. UMFan83
    BJ not going for 2 is going to make this TD a death blow
  8. UMFan83
    First Raiders punt of the game with a minute left in the 3rd

    I cannot believe in year 4 of a Poles rebuild we still have so many gaping holes
  10. UMFan83
    Will it? Let’s see him do it against a front 7 that isn’t completely garbage
  11. UMFan83
    Yeah this team just has too many gaping holes to be interesting this year. Guess we’ll have to wait another season for Poles to get his horsefeathers together
  12. UMFan83
    3 drives inside the raiders 25, 3 total points scored.
  13. UMFan83
    Nope this is being a bears fan. Small amount of hope followed by crushing blows
  14. UMFan83
    Yeah they look completely outclassed in this one. If adjustments aren’t made in a hurry this is a loss
  15. UMFan83
    Ever since the Cubs broke the curse I feel like we’ve played day playoff games 80% of the time when pre 2016 it was the opposite
  16. UMFan83
    Out of curiosity did they need to put him on the IL? Couldn’t they have just not named him to the NL WC roster? At least gives the option of putting him on the NLDS roster if he’s feeling better in a week. I guess the answer is likely that there’s no chance that he’s healthy in a week but either way seems unnecessary to put him on the IL when they can simply just not add him to the roster unless I’m missing something.

    We just went from having 1 guaranteed game left at Wrigley this year to 3 guaranteed games left at Wrigley
  18. UMFan83
    Omg throw a strike
  19. UMFan83
    I could be off on my observation but our reliable pen arms seem to be…less reliable lately.
  20. UMFan83
    Omg just get the last out haha
  21. UMFan83
    I mean I get like strategically you are still in the game and want to avoid pitching to the 4-4 guy but to bring up the guy who is 2nd in the NL in BA? Meh
  22. UMFan83
    FFS Cardinals. Im pretty sure that goes against one of those unwritten rules the Cardinals obsess over
  23. UMFan83
    I imagine rib fractures take more than 15 days but in case it’s one of those things where it’s fine after a short rest, his earliest return date puts him roughly game 4 of the NLDS.
  24. UMFan83
    Baseball is a crapshoot and the Cubs wouldn’t be the first team to lose an ace and get far in the playoffs. Not that I’m overly high on their chances but this alone doesnt doom them.
  25. UMFan83
    Coughing too hard apparently
