    Lit up Sonny Gray also. His ERA went from 1.94 to 3.19 today.

    Madden was fine in the beginning. Does that count? was he? i think maybe the cubs were so good that it just took us a while to realize joe is just a typical baseball manager I would say he definitely wasn’t bad in the beginning. Not saying he was good necessarily though. You could be right though that the Cubs were good enough to cover up his flaws. He butchered Game 7 but he also out thought Bochy in Game 4 against SF to get the better hitter to the plate during the rally (can’t remember which one).

    Lol. I’m not sure he threw a strike in that AB and still got the K despite Moran not swinging.

    So this pretty much sums up the Reds series: Also, hat tip to myself. Anyway, a split for that Reds series was fine. Could have been better but could have been worse. Picked up a 1/2 game on the Cards and only lost a 1/2 game to the Brewers despite them playing the Pirates. Would be nice to have a big series here going into a 5-gamer against the Cards over the weekend. GO CUBS!!!

    Probably not a good idea to walk the 7 and 8 hitters.

    Would have been nice to win both today considering the pitching matchup for this one. Of course, because it's baseball, the Cubs will probably find a way to win. GO CUBS!!!

    That was the 6th but he also struck out with a runner on 2nd and no outs in the 5th, so you’re forgiven for forgetting which bad AB by Almora is which.
  12. soccer10k
    Don’t know why they moved him back to the ninth so quickly.
  13. soccer10k
    Nice blocking Willson.
  14. soccer10k
    Kimbrel: still garbage
  15. soccer10k
    Another solid fake rally.
  16. soccer10k
    Vaunted Cardinals (sorry, had to) lost both games of the DH.
  17. soccer10k
    And they lost Game 1.
  18. soccer10k
    I'm all in on anti-cubs you ok man? He hasn’t been since like August 2018. The Brewers broke him.
  19. soccer10k
    LOL. I'm all in on anti-cubs Well the Cards are certainly a model franchise so hoping they win the division makes total sense.
  20. soccer10k
    LOL.
  21. soccer10k
    Royals just blew a 3 run lead in the 9th. Still bottom 9, tied at 5.
  22. soccer10k
    Solid fake rally there.
  23. soccer10k
    18 hits? How do the Tigers only have 7 runs?
  24. soccer10k
    Just a wonderful inning by the pen.

    He’s really only been a real elite hitter in 2018 until September and then a month or two last year. Saw some tweet the other day about it. He’s been shockingly average from a wRC+ standpoint outside of that period. There's a pretty big gap between elite and what he's doing this year though. How many people, with how flawed he is as a hitter, thought he'd be an elite hitter? We had hope, sure. But 2018 sure seemed like a career year at the time. In 2017, he had 4 of 6 months with a OPS+ of 116 or higher. 2018 he was above 100 each month, and above 140 in 4 of the 6 months. 2019 he was above 100 for 4 of 5 months (4 PA in Sept) and had 3 of 5 over 110. His 83 OPS+ right now would be his worst monthly split since April 2017. We don't necessarily need runner-up MVP Javy (though it certainly would be nice), but we do need a 100-110 OPS+ Javy.
