  1. Willy you gotta learn to frame better dude
  2. RH Votto is catching on (at end of article) http://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/cubs/kris-bryant-has-gotten-so-good-he-may-actually-be-underrated-now-votto-mvp-world-series
  3. With a wet outfield grass. I’m trying to think if I’ve ever seen a hit like that actually. That rolled like a ball hit on AstroTurf or something Fangraphs did a story on that game and that hit. They tracked balls hit at a similar launch speed and angle and almost every other hit was a single and did not roll to the wall https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-bonkers-game-that-probably-shouldnt-have-been/
  4. Andy's game thread run is now tied for the longest of the season despite only playing 1 game so far.
  5. [tweet]https://twitter.com/CarrieMuskat/status/985934907410124800[/tweet] Stupid weather
  6. Watching the playoffs this weekend makes me mad that we just started our rebuild. The bulls have been mostly unwatchable for 3 seasons now, I’m getting antsy for a relevant team again and my guess is we are still a few years off.
  7. Funny they will play at Wrigley on the 14th and then fly down to Atlanta for a series starting the 15th
  8. Holy crap you just broke the Duke curse
  9. The runs that inning were scored on an IF hit, walk, 3 run double, walk, walk, 2 runs on wild pitch/error combo. All with 2 outs
  10. How many people on NSBB do you think aren’t going to find out about this for several hours?
  11. RH Votto all the way down to the crappy team around him
  12. I’m trying to be patient but geez how much longer can we put a guy out there with a K rate of 49%? It’s a small sample size but it’s not like Happ didn’t have major K issues last year too
  13. The Cubs Strike Zone bot has tweeted 8 times today and all 8 are calls that hurt the Cubs. What an awful umpire
  14. Let’s not evaluate things after 14 games.
  15. We are totally going to turn around and sweep the Cardinals this week
  16. "When?" It's already come up a few times; minus the arm, he's kinda butt behind the plate. I mean, sure, I've seen people mention the passed balls and plain inability to catch pitches sometimes but I don't recall anyone specifically talking about his lack of framing skills. It’s been discussed for sure
  17. Q’s ERA up to 8.16 after 3 starts which is crazy because one of those starts was 6 shutout innings
  18. Welp Q with 50 pitches and 4 ER through 2...
  19. Swanson is still young and projectable (and a good start this year) but the dude had a sub-.650 OPS last year. Markakis hasn’t been a dangerous hitter since like 2012
  20. Everyone on the staff except Hendricks has an ERA over 4.70. Early on but not what you’d like to see against a slate of crappy teams in almost all really crappy weather
  21. horsefeathering hell. Umps miss 2 calls, one turns an out into a HR for the Braves. The second one turns a walk for the Cubs into an out
  22. They scored as many runs in 1 batter as we have in our last 18 innings #funwithmath
  23. Because we have hundreds of games worth of info about these guys to tell us this isn't who they really are. It's two weeks. It means nothing. We also have thousands of posts showing Duker is right 92 percent of the time. Therefore, I'm not in the least bit worried. http://www.evolvefitnesslab.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/science-gif.gif
