  1. He's on the Iowa DL with a thumb injury. Not sure of his prognosis. also just had a kid so maybe he's milking it a bit, for lack of a better term
  2. well that definitely depends on roster construction we certainly don't need to be doing a ton of it (but we really don't)
  3. primarily bad luck in that they got an accidental/lucky pitchout
  4. great bunt by willson there, gotta say
  5. thought the same. how in the world did he get doubled up?
  6. raise your hand if you knew addy actually had a .343 wOBA and 113 wRC+ vs lefties this year
  7. well, for one, mlb draft choices aren't necessarily made based on college stats
  8. Hammel has earned nothing and whether pulling him this time was uncalled for or not, his obvious griping every time he gets pulled is hilarious given how OK of a pitcher he is.
  9. It's great and half the reason I wanted him
  10. The negative impact on your chances of scoring if giving away one of your three precious outs, especially at the hands of a guy getting on base at like a .390 clip, is MASSIVE. There's no good argument to be made that it was a good move.
  11. I don't want moves being made based on hot streaks, especially not ones that lower your chances of scoring as much as a good hitter voluntarily giving away one of your three is outs. It was stupid. Not every move that doesn't work is stupid. They thought Russell or Soler had a better shot of getting the runners in from 2nd and 3rd than Zobrist had of not making a productive out off Urias. Didn't work out, game's not over. Where did what I said even remotely look like I was talking in hindsight? It was stupid even if Addison had come up and hit a bloop single that scored two.
  12. Cubs are really only middle of the pack in K%, and Zobrist is a prime DP candidate. With Russell as hot as he's been, the move makes logical sense. I don't want moves being made based on hot streaks, especially not ones that lower your chances of scoring as much as a good hitter voluntarily giving away one of your three is outs. It was stupid.
  13. Len and JD talked about it right after the second hr
  14. "even though we were only down by one run at one point" good catch.
  15. http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/simpsons/images/4/40/Picture0003.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110623042517
  16. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/ct-kris-bryant-on-cubs-win-over-dodgers-20160826-premiumvideo.html in this video, KB refers to a run as a point horsefeathering joe is rubbing off oh, and i think he refers to the mariners as the marlins
  17. horsefeathers pitchers. We have a somewhat patched together staff putting up historically great run prevention numbers. We don't need to dump assets for some proven starter panacea guy. Between the FO and Bosio and whatever else is at play, we have consistently been able to do this for years now. And with our defense it only makes even more sense. And "object"
  18. look at you up at midnight and horsefeathers
