The Pirates have scored 3 runs in an inning for the first time since they got to face Dillon Maples 15 games ago. -
that was a trash throw Almora
-
I think the Rockies are a better constructed team and deserve a playoff berth more. Also, 'besides spite' is like the sports version of 'aside from that how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?'

Shohei Ohtani Signs with the Angels
Transmogrified Tiger replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Indicators are that any non-tender shenanigans would be seen as circumventing the rules and MLB would hammer that team. -
Bryant hasn't had a game day off since 8/23, and lefties fare much better against Archer so that mitigates the impact.
-
I put together a quick calculator that focuses on how many wins each team might get from remaining series: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YtIEXZBZ-Sx_w8chE745mhb3ehzTwOapxR3y82nrdak/edit?usp=sharing https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YtIEXZBZ-Sx_w8chE745mhb3ehzTwOapxR3y82nrdak/edit?usp=sharing The yellow cells are editable so you can put in your greatest hopes/fears. If the Cubs split the next 3 series and win 2 of 3 v. CIN, Milwaukee needs to win out(aside from the Cubs split) to tie for the division.

welcome back to the rotation Montgomery, please go beat Chris Archer thanks
-
why did we nearly forfeit a game starting Tseng if Montgomery doesn't get an opportunity in an inning like this
-
Duensing, Montgomery and *shudders* Wilson are going to be responsible for closing this out I would not be at all surprised to see Davis in the 9th, unless I missed a proclamation that he is absolutely out today.
-
Lynn absolutely had Heyward at 3rd.

I have infrequently seen that myself, if you refresh or hard refresh(CMD+Shift+R on Mac, Ctrl+Shift+F5 on Windows) the image sometimes shows up. I use uBlock and Privacy Badger and I assume they're the ultimate culprit haven't been able to pinpoint exactly what causes it.

Kyle Hendricks: Somehow Greg Maddux
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Aaron_Kennelly's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Let's update this guy again. 2015 ERA thru 3 starts: 5.74 ERA after: 3.78 2016 ERA thru 3 starts: 4.50 ERA after: 1.88 2017 ERA thru 3 starts: 6.19 ERA after: 2.79 -
is that the farthest home run he's ever hit? That's out there in Bryant/Baez land.

What should I work on next?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Tim's topic in North Side Baseball Issues & Suggestions
It's only slowing down during games, specifically right after big events (good and bad). Edit: for comparison, right now there are less than 30 people on the site, compared with 60-75 during the game. In last year's playoffs we were 150-200 with regularity. -
Of available guys, they were down to Davis, Zastryzny, and Pena. Also I wouldn't be surprised to see Davis tomorrow, pending how many pitches he finishes with today.

This inning is Mike Matheny's managerial prowess in all its glory
-
I've yet to see a replay showing Contreras doing anything resembling melting down until after he was already ejected. Just getting ejected is a problem. It is a big problem whose fault lies exclusively with the umpire. He handled that horrific call as best he could up until the quick hook on Contreras. Lackey was never going to shut up, toss him. But you make a call that egregious and influential you can't be that itchy on the trigger finger when Willy isn't even in his face.
-
Agreed. But then it rubbed off on Willy in this case, and that loss in a tight game is especially bad. That, and the "melting down" look isn't a great look ever. I've yet to see a replay showing Contreras doing anything resembling melting down until after he was already ejected.
-
Why did all the replays focus on Lackey's yelling, I don't care about that, Contreras getting tossed is more egregious and impactful.
-
Rizzo's odds of scoring > Heyward's OBP in that situation
-
They're still gonna stick with Young in the top 20 after his .622 OPS in AAA at 24. This is not a list to remotely take seriously.
-
Even setting aside the quality of barstool(absolute trash), why would you have someone from a sports site covering the Cubs do the stretch?
-
Montgomery probably said RVs are for poor people in spring training, it's the only logical explanation
