    Steele pitched great no matter what happens now, so that’s a real positive. This offense is so stinky I can smell it all the way in Madison.
  2. Soul
    I do appreciate the optimism but I just can’t see it right now.
  3. Soul
    I think we went through this kind of power outage last year too. Didn’t we sink back to 500 around this time of year as well?
  4. Soul
    Looking for a much better start from Steele tonight.
  5. Soul
    He never completed the catch. Oh wait
  6. Soul
    It feels like Wisdom is in the lineup twice.

    It just doesn’t have any meaning to talk about 88 wins based on performance in May. It’s May. Teams go on to much better things and much worse things after May. Some comments: Weren’t going to get Ohtani - while that was happening he was certainly among the possible acquisitions. People weren’t saying Ohtani isn’t going anywhere else at the time. Otherwise he would have just signed with LA day 1. Chapman’s been bad. Ok? He was certainly a possible FA acquisition that apparently Jed didn’t consider. Who knows what he would have done here or if he will continue to be bad? Is that Jed’s fault? I don’t know, we all talked about ownership not giving him the dollars to work with. Probably true. I’m not saying Jed’s terrible inherently just that he didn’t make the moves for whatever reason. Imanaga - obviously awesome pickup. Bellinger: if you were white knuckles on that, hats off to you. I was. I see largely the same ball club. I guess I was expecting a team that would post mid 90’s wins especially when they came out of the gate with Counsell. I didn’t think there was much question that we didn’t match that signing with player improvements. I mean we sat for months over the winter as players came off the board. That happened.

    Pretty early to put any stock into what pace a team is playing at. Shall we also start tracking % chance of making the playoffs now too? We sat around while the top FAs came off the board. They signed Counsell and then did very little. Everyone knows what happened come on.

    They’re the same as last year. Some decent starters and a few good bats, but a horrid bullpen and a lot of holes that better teams don’t have. The most likely scenario then, is what we’ve seen before: a crash out September. Maybe they make it this time in spite of that. The point I’d like to make though is that Jed had all kinds of opportunity to improve this team in the offseason. For whatever reason he just sat around instead. And here we are.

    Jed’s not going to pull any rabbits out of his hat.
  11. Soul
    Can’t score? Can’t win. Frustrating as all heck. Please score some runs.
  12. Soul
    Quitter.
  13. Soul
    Is there anyone else? Wow
  14. Soul
    I was thinking that too. Like in the past the Cubs would have just swung anyway. Got themselves out.
  15. Soul
    That’s just crazy 😂
  16. Soul
    Good times baby.
  17. Soul
    Cubs in extra innings
  18. Soul
    No drama. No delays. Just a quick death.
  19. Soul
    I don't know if I want to watch this. Last night was hard enough.
  20. Soul
    Dammit. He's out. And that's a pretty darn good throw.
  21. Soul
    This dude needs his yearly opto appointment wow.
  22. Soul
    This ump is HORRIBLE.
  23. Soul
    Those are the kind of players we need right now.
  24. Soul
    Well, this ump is certainly missing calls...in our favor.
  25. Soul
    Looks like he decided to swing before that pitch was even thrown.
