  1. What’s with the idea that the Cubs haven’t been scoring since late April? Since April 23 seems to be the arbitrary endpoint of choice: from 4/25 through the end of the Washington series l, they averaged 5.4 runs per game (an 867 run full season pace). They’ve been cold for 4 games, which is frustrating, yes. But take a deep breath, folks. Also lol at the guy melting down about not having a closer after the bullpen is less than perfect for the first time in nearly a month.
  2. He’s had back to back 0-fers. The prior 8 games of that 10 game span Derwood looked at his slash was .348/.516/.478 with 1 strikeout and 6 walks. We’re talking about a two game “slump.”
  3. Meh. Just because it’s kinda fun that Seiya and PCA are jockeying for position in the RBI lead doesn’t mean we have to suddenly ascribe importance to RBIs as a stat.
  4. Not arguing the spirit of this post. He’s in a bit of a power drought. But I love that his “slumps” still have him slashing .267/.436/.367 with a 10% K rate.
  5. I just saw the replay on BN. Yeah, very unfair to call that a base running gaffe by PCA.
  6. I wasn’t watching at the time and haven’t seen a repla, but Coomer fully pinned it on Barry. Said he was sending PCA and then changed his mind, leaving Pete in no man’s land. Accurate?
  7. Silo and Severance are great. Would also add Slow Horses and Shrinking to these recs.
  8. During the postgame last night they said he is starting.
  9. Well, you got me there. Perhaps part of the equation is hitting as many fan bases each month to increase subscription volume. I think when I looked earlier this year it seemed like the cubs had a game each month on Apple, potentially increasing month over month retention.
  10. Both teams were expected to be playoff contenders and were favorites in their divisions before the season. This matchup was selected for the Apple TV broadcast because of that, not in spite of it.
  11. To each their own of course, but I find Apple infinitely more useful (and cheaper) than ESPN. As someone who really only cares about the Cubs, Bears, and Illini these days, I can probably count on two hands the number of times I turn on ESPN in a given year.
  12. I’m mindful of overextending the bullpen as the season wears on but the two opener games so far haven’t done that. 6 IP for Brown and 5.1 for Rea in those games.
  13. Rassmussen Is interesting, but wouldn’t he come with similar innings management considerations as Brown, Horton, and Boyd?
  14. I’m not going to tell anyone how to spend their money or what streamers to subscribe to. Managing all the different services is a pain in the ass. But…why shouldn’t they make a matchup between the two best teams in baseball available nationally? Plus the Apple picture quality for their telecasts is gorgeous. I’m excited.
  15. Anyone have restaurant recommendations in Detroit? My wife and I are heading up for the game on Sunday. We figure we’ll grab an early dinner somewhere before we head back home. Never spent any time there, so going in blind.
  16. “You look at the cubs roster…Kyle Tucker out…finger ailment…” *30 seconds of dead air* great stuff there, Alex.
  17. Lions 29 year old All Pro center.
  18. Frank Ragnow is retiring.
  19. imb had a really impressive spring.
  20. Yeah, this is where I’m at. Someone posted it the other day but I’m going off memory…Cubs have won or tied something in the neighborhood of 16 of 21 series. Just keep that up and things are going to be just fine. I guess my only concern is building a big enough cushion in the division to absorb SP innings limits/additional injuries later in the season. That said, assuming the current five in the rotation can continue to hold down the fort until reinforcements arrive in the form of Shota, Assad, and the trade market, I don’t really care what the other teams do. It’s actually kind of fun to think about how exasperating it is for Brewers and Cardinals fans to watch their teams go white hot for two or three weeks only to look up and see the Cubs 4+ games up in the standings.
