  1. Yup. They projected as a 75-80 win team, and the underlying #s (I.e. controlling for their horsefeathers 1-run game record) think that's exactly what they've been Yeah, and even average injury luck would have made things look a lot better, too.
  2. The team is a lot better than their record so far. But they're not winning the division or anything close to it.
  3. 26 man; but also: Heuer Roberts Rucker Newcomb
  4. "...for the top prospect in the Cubs organization..." wait, what?
  5. Steele might just be decent.
  6. And yet another RobelDong.
  7. Robertson activated from the covid list today. To get room on the active roster, Leiter was optioned back to Iowa. To make room on the 40 man, Hermosillo was transferred from the injured list to the covid list.
  8. Maldonado and Young are in the way there.
  9. The 0-4 yesterday included a long drive that was initially ruled a home run. After he circled the bases, they changed the call to foul.
  10. here's my go to resource these days: https://www.fangraphs.com/roster-resource/depth-charts/cubs
  11. So you're saying there's a chance...
  12. Primarily a lack of plate discipline and a bunch of swing and miss.
  13. So...Morel homered in "every" at bat and Hughes struck out five in 1.2 innings? Ho hum debuts, I guess.
  14. He is freakishly long, is my best explanation. And you can tell it's been drilled in his head to keep the ball high in traffic so smaller guys don't steal the ball. So, the contact I do believe is incidental, but for sure it happens a bunch. That sounds reasonable, don't think there's any intent however, in a playoff series I could see their opponents really getting aggravated and tired of it. Another thing about Giannis why in the hell does he keep shooting 3's? If he was a Bull that would drive me nuts, his 3 attempts are basically a TO. Part of that is that you have to be willing to shoot it from the outside once in a while if you want people to go for ball fakes so that you can drive past them. If you never shoot from the outside, it makes defending you easier.
  15. Good contact by Schwindel.
  16. He's horrible. I really miss having Len & JD for every single game.
  17. Narrator: "He could not manage" The error didn't help matters.
  18. Steele has been, uh, sharp ever since the triple to lead off the game.
  19. I really wish we had done something like a Happ for Hosmer and Hassell trade
  20. Wow, has it been that long since the Bears had an "elite" rushing attack? :D
  21. lol - so dramatic.
