    I keep waiting for the offense to swerve out of this slump but it just keeps going for the better part of 2 months
  2. UMFan83
    Dammit it’s tied. I don’t think the Cubs are prepared to score any more runs
  3. UMFan83
    He can’t hit any worse than some of our guys
  4. UMFan83
    It’s almost impressive
  5. UMFan83
    Of course they get one back on a 30 hopper into CF
  6. UMFan83
    Gah Brewers about to tie
  7. UMFan83
    Eh maybe. .720 OPS in the second half facing almost exclusively righties. He’s had his moments but he’s been pretty boom or bust for awhile now These second half samples shouldn’t matter more than other things. That OPS shouldn’t outweigh he’s still over .800 on the year and for his career and that includes his essentially rehab months in MLB in the first half last year. There’s a lot more things to pull from to project a low-mid .800 OPS guy moving forward with upside from that in there than making assumptions off this 2nd half sample here. Well I didn’t say he was worthless just wasn’t a budding superstar we once thought he was on the way to. If he’s an .820s OPS guy that’s fine but not exceptionally productive for a corner OF right? Could be wrong there

    The first two are still plenty plausible. Especially the KB thing.... he was MVP level before being hit in the head and the other injury and Schwarber is still plenty productive and I still think there’s more in there for him. Eh maybe. .720 OPS in the second half facing almost exclusively righties. He’s had his moments but he’s been pretty boom or bust for awhile now

    I want to go back to the days where I thought Schwarber was a budding superstar slugger, Bryant was going to be a top 3 MVP candidate annually, Russell was not a scumbag and would play like Larkin. Rarely do those things all turn out but sometime around November 2016 it all seemed pretty damn plausible.

    Seriously this offense horsefeathering blows hard
  11. UMFan83
    Hey if we win one of the next 2, we retain the Crosstown Cup so there’s that
  12. UMFan83
    So scoring those 9 runs the other day didn’t mean the horribly slumping offense was fixed did it
  13. UMFan83
    We must need another day off
  14. UMFan83
    I bet you he pitches 4 strong innings after this one. The only difference between a good Q start and an awful one is how he handles his blowup inning.
  15. UMFan83
    you can put it on the board....horsefeathers
  16. UMFan83
    welp looks like the 2nd inning is Q's blowup inning today. We should start taking bets before his starts.
  17. UMFan83
    It always pains me to see Bryant swinging and missing on pitches as juicy as that first one.
  18. UMFan83
    Well that's a start
  19. UMFan83
    yeah we got about 8 months to criticize Brewers fans for giving Hader a standing ovation before we (we meaning our fan base not our segment which is much less tone deaf) look like hypocrites. It was a lot less than that when Cubs fans were cheering Murphy loudly. Good point. The lesson here is that fans of all fan bases have idiots

    [tweet] [/tweet] Theo is addressing the team? Interesting
  22. UMFan83
    while this is positive, it could be more of a 'keeping him away from the team while we figure horsefeathers out/hope it blows over' than a 'this guy will not be on our team anymore'
  23. UMFan83
    Is this really David or did someone write a script for him?
  24. UMFan83
    Someone just make a game thread. Here is the Addison-less Cubs lineup
  25. UMFan83
    Do the right thing Cubs. I’m sickened to read this and realize this scumbag is on our team. I would have much rather had our first championship in a long time tainted with steroid users like the Red Sox than tainted with scumbags that abuse women. horsefeathers Addison Russell
