    Cubs season has ended with a team celebrating at Wrigley Field for the 4th time in 6 years (5 playoff appearances)
  2. UMFan83
    I had very very low expectations for the Cubs offense heading into the playoffs and somehow they managed underperform those expectations. But this is exactly what we saw from them the last 6 weeks of the season so it shouldn't be a shock
  3. UMFan83
    Sweet 3 straight strikeouts from a pitcher known for pitching to contact. Fitting way for the season to end.
  4. UMFan83
    I mean this is the Cubs offense in a nutshell right? Swinging at balls and staring at strikes. Like seriously how is your mentality as the tying run to not swing at a borderline pitch with 2 strikes? Like what the horsefeathers are these coaches telling the hitters?
  5. UMFan83
    4 straight strikes not swung at with the season on the line
  6. UMFan83
    Is there a reason that Bote is staring at strikes as the tying run with the season on the line?
  7. UMFan83
    God Javy is so unbelievably broken right now. He's worse than he was during that disastrous 2014 start
  8. UMFan83
    I love how Javy waits until he gets a strike and then realizes 'horsefeathers im only getting 2 more of those, lets sell out for a HR'
  9. UMFan83
    FAKE RALLY ACTIVATED
  10. UMFan83
    Did they say B9 is going to be on ESPN? Tough choice between watching the Cubs go down or Trump go down
  11. UMFan83
    Is playing the Marlins/Cubs winner basically like having a bye to the NLCS?
  12. UMFan83
    3 more outs before I don't have to watch this offense again for several months.
  13. UMFan83
    Willson has to be one of the only people in baseball history to get hit by multiple pitches in a single AB
  14. UMFan83
    Meh, if anyone wants to focus on the game they can drown us out. That's what I'm interested in discussing right now.
  15. UMFan83
    lol cubs can't even get hit by a pitch correctly. I agree with the call though
  16. UMFan83
    Wow, Ross is leaving Kimbrel in despite throwing 19 pitches and walking the first 2 hitters in the inning, the last on 4 pitches while the hitter was trying to bunt. I'm sure this will end well.
  17. UMFan83
    Take Kimbrel out before he loses any value in case there's a stupid team willing to trade for him.
  18. UMFan83
    Oh crap, mega jinx Bob Nightingale might have given us a shot
  19. UMFan83
    Peaks and valleys with this team, on a peak there burying these clowns on the current valley Miami looks like world beaters. I thought taking pitches, grinding out at bats, was the supposed approach? Been waiting 6+ weeks for that next peak outside of a game here and there.
  20. UMFan83
    And Happ if he's willing to sign an extension. he's the one guy that'll have real value in a trade I was thinking the same thing. Him and Contreras were the only 2 guys with more than a year of control left that showed any pulse offensively. We will probably have to give up one if not both of them to get any meaningful value in a trade. But of course that would deplete the offense and it might be even worse next year if guys like Javy and KB dont bounce back enough. I just can't help think that with no payroll room, declining value on almost all of our ML hitters, and not a ton available on the farm for trade or for roster improvement, rebuilding might ultimately be our fastest way out of this mess. Of course if we do that Theo won't be around to oversee it so I'm sure he will just keep everyone here and hope that the offense amazingly bounces back, though will still have all the major glaring issues its showed for 3+ seasons.
  21. UMFan83
    I mean they had guys like Zobrist who could be relied on to get on base consistently. But we had the same issues we've had since then, just less extreme. In retrospect its pretty amazing the Cubs managed to get their way out of at least 2 separate offensive tailspins in those playoffs
  22. UMFan83
    I mean honestly its pretty tough to pitch when you know you have absolutely 0 margin for error. Yu did great given that he had to be perfect
  23. UMFan83
    Honestly, if they lose I'm fine with it. I can probably enjoy the rest of the playoffs more, but I'll lament not seeing Jon in a Cubs uniform one last time.
  24. UMFan83
    Game
  25. UMFan83
    I just realized that if the Cubs lose today, it will officially be the first year I have not attended a Cubs game since 2002, and only the 5th year since 1991 that I haven't attended one (1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2020). Sad
