Despite a somewhat mediocre start, the Cubs have now played at a 92 win pace for the season. -
Fangraphs wrote an article about scoring runners from 3rd with less than 2 outs and the Cubs were the team they pointed out as noteworthingly bad.
-
He's made some fine plays...but i believe defensive ratings still have him as below replacement level this year (which of course is attributable to SSS partially). He's also made some notable gaffes that while don't mean he's a bad fielder or anything, tend to stick in people's minds.
-
Of course Heyward loses the ball. Thankfully he found it eventually.
-
This is a little funny that he all the sudden finds trouble when he's one out from actually making it through the 5th.
-
I know all the discussions about his peripherals, etc but based on selective eye test (basically meaning ABs I've seen) he's looked like poop and getting more poop-like in appearance.
-
reminds me of when Dusty used to keep players at the same spot in the batting order when they replaced a normal starter. Like Trinidad Hubbard batting 3rd when Sammy went on the DL
-
Bote needs to work on that baserunning
-
i blame duke even though he didnt write about his fielding
-
Oh Grobber [tweet] [/tweet] For those too lazy to listen: Someone texted Grobber last night suggesting that the Bears draft Bobby Boucher from South Eastern Louisiana State University, and he basically discussed the possibility on air for a few minutes. The clip only has a couple of seconds but still funny.

Who says that solo homers can’t beat you?
-
Stick to predicting rainouts
-
Don't see any updates but he can come off the DL Saturday
-
I love you Duke
-
I still manage to forget almost every day that we've got clods here who put up game threads without "CST" in the damn title. For shame, JERSEY cubs fan; after yesterday's bizarre start time, I thought tonight was 6:10 PM EST again. tonight is at 6:10 EST it's also 6:10 CDT Fred used to always gleefully correct me on that.

Would love to now see these guys hit better against pitchers they struggle with historically Schwarber vs. LHP: .077/.250/.154/.404 (16 PA) Almora vs. RHP: .278/.297/.333/.631 (37 PA) Baez actually has reverse splits this year, is mashing righties (1.344 OPS) but struggling against lefties (.513 OPS) Obviously all SSS stuff, but if Schwarber is going to be an elite hitter he needs to at least be adequate against lefties. Edit: Also not to hijack a Javy thread but Schwarber now has 300 PAs since coming up from the minors last year (regular season only). His line in those 300 PA? .266/.357/.582/.939 with 24 HR

Still can't believe that Rizzo blast right after Bryant's didn't go out. I mean obviously everything turned out all right but Bryzzo going back to back in the World Series would have been awesome. I guess they'll have to do it this year. Also, gif themed game threads are one of the top 2-3 things to ever happen to NSBB. I don't even know anything about some of the shows like Monk but they are still great.
-
I'm by no means a good draft pick evaluator, but if MPJ is available at 6, you have to take him right? Obviously has considerable risk with his injury but probably has 3rd best ceiling in the draft after Ayton and Doncic. I don't like Bamba (useful but limited ceiling), Jaren Jackson (has too many holes), Wendell Carter (limited ceiling) or Trae Young (high ceiling but spectacular bust odds). I don't mind Bridges or Bagley but I don't think they quite have the upside of Porter (plus I don't think Bagley will be available at 6).
-
Oooo sorry Duker beat you to that by a couple of hours, and he provided pretty charts as evidence
-
Alright Chatwood, keep em under 3 walks this inning
-
Even the guy who can’t make contact got a dong
-
You could have at least added some stuff about how he's been a below average fielder this year so he could at least have that going for him.
-
I like Gold Gloves and I cannot lie: the Jason Heyward thread
UMFan83 replied to NOLA's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I don't know what you have against Jason Heyward but not cool Duke -
Why the heck is this game starting at 5:10? I know Cleveland is an hour ahead but even a 6PM start local time is odd
-
On the 2nd try I got the Bulls taking Ayton at #1. Weird I got the bulls taking Ayton at 2 with the Suns taking Doncic
