2021 HR Derby [Discussion & Transaction Thread]
soccer10k replied to Southpaw19's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I’m doing what the Cubs should do: tank for a better draft pick. Because of that strategy, I’ll be dropping all of my players and replacing them with nobody. The #1 pick next year will be mine! -
Chapman in the 7th (it was a DH) with a 1-run lead: HR (on a 1-2 count) HBP (on an 0-2 count) Walk And then he got yanked. Both runners scored. He had a 1.98 ERA on June 20. Since then, he's made 3 appearances, 1 1/3 IP, 5 H, 6 BB, 2 K, 9 ER.

I can’t wait to care about the Cubs again in 2026.

7/4 Nico is back, Sogard is still here

Watch out, the offense is heating up! 9 hits today in only 6 innings! -
Is that bad? I think that's bad.
-
Yeah, it's gonna be him or Rizzo. It's going to be Rizzo. The Rickettses will only keep him over Javy because Rizzo is white.

It’s true, I swear.

2017 4 game series in Milwaukee with like 10 games left in the season and the Cubs up 3.5 games. Last chance for the Brewers in the division race. 1st game of the series the Cubs are down a run in the 9th. Happ beats out an IF hit on a literal tie with the ball, gets to second. 2 outs and Javy up, who somehow dribbles out through the middle to score Happ and tie it. Bottom 9 Wade Davis has the bases loaded with 1 out, believe he gets a K and then goes 3-1 on the Brewers hitter, one ball from losing but instead gets a comebacker to end the inning. Top 10, unclutch KB hits a 2 run HR and the Cubs win. Think they took 3 of 4 in the series and closed out the division in St Louis Then the next day they ended St Louis’s season with a bunch of backups in the lineup.

Called 3rds to Votto and Suarez were awful also.
-
Marlins pitcher hits Acuna with the first pitch of the game and gets ejected. Acuna ended up scoring so he threw as many pitches as runs allowed. Can’t imagine that’s happened for a starter very often, if ever. Reliever it’s definitely happened before I’m sure.

Spain-Switzerland: here’s how not to take penalties. 9 kicks 1 over the bar 1 off the post 3 saved 4 scored
-
The Ricketts won’t care unless revenue/attendance drops dramatically.
-
Only other team to blow a 7 run lead this year (teams were 234-1 before today) is the DBacks. I'm not sure if everyone is aware, but the DBacks really, really suck this year.
-
Aroldis Chapman in the ninth: Walk Ground out Walk Walk Grand slam You hate to see it.
-
Cubs are only the second team to score 7 runs in the 1st inning and lose by at least 7, joining the 1976 Giants. Only three teams in the last 40 years led by 7 in a game and lost by more than the 8 runs the Cubs lost by today. Cubs also had a franchise worst .1875 BA for a single month. Even their awful April they hit .216.
-
Yep.
-
If your 4 hitter is going so poorly that he gets double switched out of the game, he probably shouldn’t be your 4 hitter.
-
Since June 13, the Cubs have scored 36 runs in 16 games. Since June 13, Schwarber has driven in 26 runs in 16 games.
-
Yeah, it definitely wasn’t intentional but it doesn’t have to be intentional to be dangerous play and a red card. Mane got a red a couple years ago for kicking Ederson in the face going for the ball.
-
Most European final appearances from these four teams is the Czech’s with 2. They’ve got 1 title (as Czechoslovakia) and Denmark has 1 as well.
-
Ahead 1-2, walks batter Ahead 1-2, walks batter Ahead 1-2, double to dead center Wonderful.
-
I think you answered your own question!
-
3-1 is the most dangerous lead in soccer today apparently.

So what’s the purpose of eliminating the away goals rule? As far as I can tell, there’s very little positive benefit. You’re likely to get less exciting 2nd legs because any score that ties the aggregate will lead to extra time rather than just the exact score of the first leg. So if the 1st leg is 1-0 and the second leg is 2-1, in the past, the home team would really have to go for it. Now both teams are going to be more cautious. It’s going to lead to more games going to extra time and therefore more games going to penalties, and anything that leads to more games going to shootouts is a bad thing. If they got rid of the away goals rule if a game goes to extra time, so if both legs end with the same score, that I might be okay with. But I just don’t see any notable positives to this but major negatives.
