    Stan Mikita has died :(

    Having the DH is a perfect chance to give Willy a rest behind the plate but keep his bat in the lineup. Would have liked to have seen Happ sit, Contreras at DH, Schwarber in LF, Heyward in CF, Zobrist in RF. At least Bote is in there.

    It looks like Javy's SB and overall baserunning contributions make up for the giant gap in walk rate. Surprised that his defensive value is so low.

    I went to a game a few years ago (right before they got good) and it was a really enjoyable experience. Great place to watch a baseball game.

    Wouldn’t he pitch Sunday then? Yeah...they have a DH today but I think that wouldnt affect them until Monday
  6. UMFan83
    Yeah...cant remember where but last weekend I saw an article about NL MVP Candidates and there were 5 names listed and Javy wasnt one of them. It was like Carpenter, Adenado, Freeman, Cain and someone else.

    Javy leads the NL in SLG at .594. This is the highest SLG% (qualified) for a Cub since Lee had a ridiculous .662 SLG in 2005. The next closest was Lee's .579 in 2009. Insane.

    I see Happ is back to 80% K rate
  9. UMFan83
    I just need to stop watching the games until they inevitably get hot again. There’s just like no benefit to watching them when they can’t pitch or hit

    Good work Cobs!

    3 ABs with runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs, 0-3 with 1 run scoring on a WP and 2 K

    Man when we slump we do it as a team and we look horsefeathering awful
  13. UMFan83
    Has Schwarber done anything since that stupid home run derby? 6-15 with a double and HR in his last 4 games before today
  14. UMFan83
    Apparently this dude is the only one that got the scouting report that you don’t ever have to throw a strike to Javy. 2 awful ABs from him tonight
  15. UMFan83
    53 game stretches mean nothing. NOTHING. #ArbitraryendpointsFan83
  16. UMFan83
    The Royals have won 13 of their last 53 games FYI
  17. UMFan83
    When does our schedule get easier?
  18. UMFan83
    That was not a great AB by Javy
  19. UMFan83
    Have noticed Heyward is standing a lot closer to the plate than he has at times this year. Worked for him this time
  20. UMFan83
    Fun fact: Rich Harden's 71 IP with the Cubs in 2008 that we remember as being so dominant is more or less Yu's career numbers over 800 more innings from a Ks, BBs, FIP standpoint. In short, I like Yu Darvish and hope he's healthy soon. I remember him being good but could only go 5-6 innings max. So basically he'd be our ace this year.

    splitting no series is really horsefeathering bad. it's baseball. come on already. there's literally no sample of 4 games that can be considered really horsefeathering bad, no matter what the results. no 4 game sample is some referendum on a baseball team or something. especially not one that was split. It's ok to not be satisfied with a 4 game split at home against a team that came into the series 2-16 in their last 18 games, then you consider the fact that we were outscored by 7 runs in the series and just overall didn't pitch or hit particularly well. I would think its fair to say its bad, but at the same time doesn't really tell us a whole lot about the teams in general because like you said its just 4 random games that happened to be played poorly.
  22. UMFan83
    That is an awesome quote
  23. UMFan83
    Wow one last terrible strike call to end the weekend. What a joke
  24. UMFan83
    Not celebrating as much as relieved we won’t lose ground to them today. Obviously they’ve been playing like horsefeathers but they’ve also played at lot better at times this year and will again Plus we are literally missing our best hitter, potentially best starter (based on how the others have pitched) and best reliever right now

    1.5 game lead!
