  1. It's a rap song and a tiktok that dealt with a 6"7 high school basketball player (a Kentucky recruit of all things) and now, godforbid I tell my students we have 5 minutes left in class, because nope, we actually have zero minutes left now, because they won't shut up.
  2. Dude, it's the dumbest horsefeathers ever. My kids don't even know what it means. But horsefeathers hell if I say literally any number, there goes my entire class.
  3. My school has a no hoodie rule. I think it's beyond stupid. He can keep the hoodie if he stops the 6-7 thing. But maybe someone could give him a blue one in exchange.
  4. Ian Happ missed another. He's swung the bat really well tonight.
  5. I need the kid in the green hoodie to stop doing the 6-7 thing. I deal with this horsefeathers literally all day at middle school. I cannot deal with it while watching the Cubs.
  6. Good to see Ashby coming out. The more we get to the pen the more I'm not sure what they do Saturday. Maybe they just start Miz. But I'm strangely a little okay with that considering how wild he can get in the first inning, especially.
  7. In their defense, teams who out homer the other team in the playoffs are way up on the W-L record this playoffs. Granted, home runs usually beget runs scoring and runs begets wins so it's a self fulfilling prophecy...but if the Cubs can keep hitting home runs, there's at least a pathway to success with it.
  8. Chourio is the 5th best hitter against LHP in baseball. You simply cannot let him see Boyd.
  9. Yeah. I'd go with Boyd until Yelich. But he doesn't see Chourio or Contreras a third time unless the Cubs can stretch this a run or two
  10. Boyd is giving an absolute hoss performance tonight.
  11. Damn. Off the bat I thought that was good
  12. For Pete, there's actually a lot of grass for him - third baseman generally play well off the line for him because he's so pull heavy. Ssimilarly velo hits to that area, it's actually a pretty high xBA in general. When you add in his sprint speed, and his propensity to strikeout to begin with, I think there's enough data to suggest when he's down that bad, bunting isn't a terrible idea.
  13. I think the Cubs are going to hope for a similar route as game three: Boyd gets 12 and then it's your best BP arms for the final 15 in some combo of matchups.
  14. Just to brag, but I kind of nailed the scouting report on Freddy today again. (I'll get one wrong soon, but I'm on a heater)
  15. Gives people far too much time to let the intrusive thoughts out.
  16. To be clear; I'm 100% right when it comes to who has the advantage on paper. The numbers are just the numbers. I don't mean that cocky, I'm actually downplaying my knowledge here. Just data. What we hope that the advantage on the data sheet actually plays out. The Cubs probably have a slightly better die-roll on hitting home runs, but it's just a roll of the dice.
