    Ugh we play in St. Louis next? I'm not emotionally ready for a Cardinals series right now lol
  2. UMFan83
    Is....is he back?
  3. UMFan83
    I think it's more of a 3rd time facing batters thing.
  4. UMFan83
    no
  5. UMFan83
    Why Pomeranz here? EDC much worse from the right side? Edit: ahh yeah big time. .921 vs righties vs. .658 vs lefties
  6. UMFan83
    Abbott gonna throw a CG at this rate.
  7. UMFan83
    no no-no
  8. UMFan83
    feels like we're either gonna win 1-0 or we're not gonna win.
  9. UMFan83
    Of course a nice line drive but caught. I'll take the run but it could have made this inning that much more dangerous
  10. UMFan83
    If we don't score here I give up
  11. UMFan83
    11th strikeout in PCAs last 15 ABs
  12. UMFan83
    I have absolutely zero desire to have the Cubs play a game right now. Why can't a random thunderstorm show up out of nowhere to wash it away?
  13. UMFan83
    yeah I can understand that it was frustrating. maybe if it was a normal season I'd have cared more. But everything about that season seemed so fake I just shrugged my shoulders and moved on.
  14. UMFan83
    I wasn't frustrated at all. For one, the entire season felt fake. Plus the offense had really struggled down the stretch of the season so I wasn't surprised that they struggled. If they played 162 games, I don't think the Cubs win the Central, so it didn't suck as much to me.

    So winning the World Series is the best case scenario? What more is there? lol
  16. UMFan83
    I mean the Diamondbacks went to the World Series in 2023 with an 84-78 record. Cardinals won it with an 83-78 record. Yes those are exceptions but it's absolutely a weighted crapshoot. Yes the best teams will have slightly better odds but every playoff team has a legitimate shot if they are playing well.

    They’ve lost 3 games in a row twice
  18. UMFan83
    Would have been nice to see some fight offensive but nope 3 up 3 down. I’m posting this before the last out is made, just assuming
  19. UMFan83
    This does have a 2023 feel to it. We were so hot especially offensively from like mid-June through early-August 2023, we looked like the most dangerous offense in the league. Then the offense trailed off the pen imploded and we missed the playoffs by a game
  20. UMFan83
    Are you referring to the play that single handedly kept the Cubs out of the playoffs as they would have made it if he caught it on the fly? That one was even more impactful than Seiya's drop in Atlanta. Cubs still miss the playoffs if they win that game, but they make it if they go 2-5 against Arizona instead of 1-6
  21. UMFan83
    At this point, the 5 game series is an advantage for Milwaukee. Yes the opportunity is there to win 5 straight and gain 5 games. It's more likely than winning the actual lottery but less likely than the Bulls winning the draft lottery in one of their 40-42 seasons. if the Brewers lose 3 of 5, they knock 5 games off the schedule and only lose a game in the standings (and lose the tiebreaker I guess). If they go 3-2, 4-1 or 5-0 they obviously benefit. Cubs only make a dent if they go 4-1 or 5-0
  22. UMFan83
    Crazy thing is, the Red Sox were also given a ton of crap for not fixing their holes at the deadline, but they're 21-6 in their last 27 and have won 7 in a row.
  23. UMFan83
    I've luckily hit that point where I'm not even upset when the Cubs lose. 6-9 in their last 15, I guess the losses don't have as much impact on me.
  24. UMFan83
    4 games out, lead down to 5.5 over the Reds
  25. UMFan83
    Don’t feel great about Shota facing the middle of the Reds order for a 3rd time at over 90 pitches but I guess you have to stretch them sometimes after essentially a bullpen game
