  1. It’s still way more likely than not that there is much better play ahead but there’s a non zero chance that we are in a tailspin masked by success in one run games and a couple of timely homers that might take awhile to get out of
  2. For me it’s, we experienced a thoroughly dominant 2016 team that was young and hypothetically was not even in its prime so to see the last 2 years fall short of that domination is frustrating, especially with regards to our starting pitching where we are locked into contracts with 5 pitchers who have all been anywhere from ok to awful this year.
  3. I know the starting pitching is worse but the offense has been sneakily mediocre for a little while now
  4. Yes I know don’t post this guy. I can’t help myself
  5. Anyone have any more stats that show that Quintana has actually been solid and mostly what we paid for?
  6. Run differential for the last 23 or whatever games is -1 per game. They’ve been winning all the close ones and losing all the blowouts. That’s what lucky bad teams do. Oh, I agree. I just figured David would have numbers to prove otherwise. Yeah I’m pretty sure I read that their expected WL in the second half is like 9-15
  7. Good. Hopefully enough time to be a contributor week 1
  8. I feel like there has been way more midweek day games than in previous years but that can’t be right
  9. he didnt touch home either it's fine You can see his foot on home when he's down on the ground - I think it actually is a big deal if he doesn't touch the bases - there was a HR disallowed in a Braves post season game one year because of a missed base. You can see the 3rd base umpire wait until he rounds the bag before heading off the field, so he likely got 3rd too. Yeah I saw that on a later reply. I can’t see his foot touching 3rd but I saw the 3B ump specifically looking at the bag to make sure it was touched
  10. Almora got a double off Scherzer which duke basically told us would happen. That’s probably the biggest takeaway from last nights game.
  11. I just tried to calculate it but my desk calculator only goes up to 9 digits
  12. To make space, unfortunately Lester is now Batting Practice Pitcher Guy to Javy
  13. KB looked restrained in his smiles while hugging Bote
  14. I’m sure he did but watching the replay over again it doesn’t look like he touches 3rd base lol
  15. I mean that was horsefeathering destroyed. Best bat flip ever. Javy you better keep being max awesomeness because BOAT is right behind you
  16. That was the best trot around the bases in cubs history
  17. What are the chances Heywards OPS is below .700 by the end of the year?
  18. That’s bull horsefeathers. There is no horsefeathering way there is conclusive horsefeathering evidence. The horsefeathering rule is you need conclusive evidence not “look at all the camera angles and guess regardless of what the ump on the field called”. horsefeathers replay
  19. I have to admit I started to fist pump thinking that was gone. What the horsefeathers
