  1. Well there you go. At least we got Vargas out there, with the go ahead run on 3rd.
  2. The WS aren’t a great team but they aren’t bad. Cubs are tied with Cincy for the worst road record in the division which surprises me given 2 10 game winning streaks. But here we are.
  3. For my part it was your assertion that CC was leaving him in just to get a guy a win.
  4. yeah I just don’t think you can definitely say that’s the reason. Whatever the case obviously it didn’t work out here.
  5. Hard to believe we’ve gone from dumpster fire Ben out of the pen to MVP Ben starter. But I’m super glad to see it. These bats have got to start producing again. In fairness we were playing a great team in their building.
  6. Wow I thought we’d have at least until June before the Brewers started destroying everyone and we started sputtering.
  7. It’s usually a shock when people at work see me because my HR profile pic is from like 20 years ago. I kind of enjoy the WTF face now. It’s like….the profile pic right? Yeah.
  8. I sure would love to trot Peralta out in a Cubs uniform to mow down his former team.
  9. Really can’t believe this team right now, LOL. Relish it.
  10. It drives me insane having a DLine that crumbles but the GM lives and dies based on the record of the team.
  11. Yeah the Reds Reddit is pretty much us when the Cubs are sucking. You could literally do a search and replace Reds -> Cubs and it’s one of our game threads.
  12. Just occurred to me that catcher framing doesn’t mean as much with ABS. I’m sure I’m late to the party on that.
  13. They’re saying it’s a hammy
  14. 805,000 attended the draft.
  15. I'll consider it an OK outcome if we can just manage to scratch out 1 win in this series. These are great teams (LA & SD), playing at home, and playing at their best. It's always tough to go out there and win. 2-4 is no fun but just don't get swept please.
  16. Not being in the draft room, I can’t say for sure. But if I had to lay money I’d say he came up empty at RB last year and at EDGE this year. Had a guy in mind but got beat. Because in both those cases there was a run right before his pick and he didn’t take action to move up. RB turned out OK, luckily. Some of that was just Ben’s ability to scheme. This year it could just be that Poles isn’t going to throw more money at EDGE. Not going to throw good money at bad money, so to speak. But again I’m speculating. Shut up about Caleb. I already have a heart flutter. 😁
  17. I agree. But what about stopping the run then? He’s not doing a good job there either. He can maybe stake a claim to valuing coverage over pass rush but not if his players also suck stopping the run.
  18. Thing is, if we found our long term center and top tier safety nobody will call it a bad draft.
  19. The ultimate irony. Biggest weakness, lowest pick.
