    SO GREAT OF THE FANS TO BACK AWAY FROM THE WALL
  2. UMFan83
    Kind of annoying that if they called it right Happ may have been able to advance to 3B instead of having to retreat to 2B.

    Andrew Vaughn is only 3-5 with a HR, 3 RBI and a walk tonight
  4. UMFan83
    Maybe. I know they lost 2 to miami but they can’t keep winning at a 115 win pace can they

    Brewers up 6-2 already edit: now 9-2. Unstoppable

    It took me forever to get used to the faster rhythm. Like most people with short attention spans due to smartphones, I got used to a certain between pitch rhythm and flow so I kept missing pitches because they were coming too quickly. But once I adapted its an overall better viewing experience. Has anyone tried to go back and watch a full game pre-pitch clock? It's jarring watching some of those 2016 playoff games again with all the step offs, look overs, and just overall slower pace between pitches.

    I guess it wasn't hit as hard as I thought. 96.9 mph off the bat. Still a HR in 10/30 parks even with the wind factored in

    how was the poop?
  9. UMFan83
    1:50 game
  10. UMFan83
    holy horsefeathers...HR on most days
  11. UMFan83
    Tying run at 2nd....
  12. UMFan83
    Boog and JD sound very bored despite it being a 1 run game in the 9th
  13. UMFan83
    If for some reason the Orioles tie and take the lead, do they keep Rogers out for another inning? I mean like he's cruising lol
  14. UMFan83
    Well at least we have Palencia against the middle of the order in the 9th. What a weird game.
  15. UMFan83
    Rough when a pitcher briefly struggling with command doesn't get a strike call when the ball is completely within the strike zone with space to spare
  16. UMFan83
    Some of these ABs *coughDansbycough* are a brutal watch. I guess we're gonna try to win 1-0?
  17. UMFan83
    They did not
  18. UMFan83
    Maybe its just because the orange stands out but it always seems like there are a lot of Orioles fans when they come to Wrigley.
  19. UMFan83
    I mean yes they will absolutely improve the team for the regular season and to some degree the playoffs but I'm not sure I'm super confident when one of those guys is starting Game 3 or 4 of a playoff series. It might work, but it was one of the few areas the Cubs could have improved their October chances. Maybe by a couple of percentage points but no team is going to change their fortunes more drastically than that at the deadline. (I think?)
  20. UMFan83
    This is one of those things where I'm thinking "so what pay that price" but I know I'd be ranting and ripping Jed for trading Caissie, Alcantara, Wiggins and Wicks (or something) for Joe Ryan.
  21. UMFan83
    50/50? I mean I guess you could make the argument that the Cubs all those OF MLB ready prospects to use as trade bait after Tucker hopefully signs. But seems like they are giving themselves options in case they aren't able to reach his asking price (also possibly an option to replace Seiya after next season)
  22. UMFan83
    I was gonna say something like this but his point doesn’t necessarily have to imply that the Cubs have played bad. They’re just in a division with a team who has performed very very well. If the deadline was supposed to help us get on par with a team that has been 7.5 games better than us in the standings over the last 2+ months then it’s debatable. Of course all the games matter and if we count all of them were just 1 game worse. Maybe we did improve by a couple games over the deadline, who knows.
  23. UMFan83
    You say 3 games over since June 1st like it’s bad (and it’s actually 4 games over, 27-23 with a +20 RD). Thats an 87-75 pace. Almost every team has down stretches over the course of the season. If the Cubs down stretches is playing at an 87 win pace, that’s not really a bad thing at all.

    We went from “Pressly has actually been good since the game he gave up 8 ER without recording an out” to “Pressly has been DFAd” very quickly.
