  1. That's so horsefeathers annoying and incompetent. Now does he even have enough time to heal before the playoffs or are we just getting this diminished version of him?
  2. Yeah....still unlikely to come back from 5 down with 34 to play and no H2H games left, but it's possible. It's much much more unlikely 7 down with 34 to play and no H2H games left.
  3. He always had control issues, that was always my concern with him closing
  4. This is a '2 outs and 2 strikes in the 9th and thats the tying run' challenge
  5. Definitely thought about that,. Though this inning appears to be going quickly and Thielbar has only thrown 17 pitches. Might consider keeping him in through Yelich for the lefty matchup? That might be too much to ask.
  6. 3-4-5 due up in the 8th for Milwaukee....gonna be interesting to see who comes in
  7. How many auto outs do we have on this team right now and why are they all in the middle of the order?
  8. Yeah the pen is gonna be in rough shape after tomorrow unless Shota goes deep. And then they go to the west coast immediately after which has to be a grind.
  9. Maybe the Cubs should attempt to get a 2nd hit today. Maybe even a 3rd
  10. Matt horsefeathers Shaw edit: and nice scoop Busch
  11. ok im done with the Rea experience today. ****** call by the ump for ball 3 but too many walks
  12. the thing is though, he's annoyingly patient and guessing even when he's going well. His big issue IMO is he's not driving the ball at all and getting beat by breaking pitches to the outside. He's always going to take annoying ass called strike 3s or look downright bad some ABs because he's guessing.
  13. Devastating miss by the umpire….is what I would say if Contreras didn’t GIDP
  14. Yeah it was a fair strike call. It's just frustrating that it seems like he rarely gets a gift on a pitch that just barely nicks the zone, while also getting pitches several inches outside the zone also called. I really dont know it keeps happening but at this point he needs to be more aggressive with 2 strikes, especially in a run producing spot in the order with a runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs.
  15. As he started to swing I was about to be upset that he might have swung at ball 4 but that outcome is much better
  16. Funny of all the times I’ve thought about muting you, who would have thought it would have ultimately been due to repeated Michigan comments in Cubs game threads? You see that 5 star RB we got today?
