  1. Now do Daniel Descalso. Then do Carlos Gonzalez. Then do Martin Maldonado. And Brandon Kintzler last year.
  2. Right last year Boston won when 35 year old Steve Pearce won World Series MVP after getting traded there in season. Steve Pearce had a .868 OPS in Toronto and a .901 OPS with Boston.
  3. They should have just let Davis go. Hyde wasn't in any real danger because Davis would have just swung and missed anyway.
  4. Don’t get used to it. They’ll be taking a break for the next 10 games.
  5. The team with the worst OPS in the International League this year (.753) would be tied for the league lead last year. League OPS is up 85 points. The league is on pace to hit 2515 home runs. Last year they hit 1555. In the PCL they’re on pace for 3330 homers after hitting only 2097 last year.
  6. Since Mark Grace retired, the Cubs have won 1 a World Series when Derek Lee want the first baseman. Someone hit the bottle a little hard last night.
  7. I think we all know which one is more likely.
  8. Every out after the 7th for our pen is tough.
  9. Obviously you haven't seen the Yankees this year.
  10. Brandon horsefeathering Kintzler isn't going to make or break the rest of our season you overreactionary doofus.
  11. That sucks but honestly better than I was expecting Just wait until our medical staff works it’s magic. It will be worse than you expected in no time.
  12. And road Cubs look like 2012 Cubs.
  13. Willy popped the hammy. See you in 4-6 weeks.
  14. What a garbage run. Infield chopper to start the inning and then a half swing off the end of the bat on 0-2.
  15. They scored more runs in three innings than they did in 3 games against St Louis. The 5 runs through 5 innings was more than they scored in all but one game of the road trip.
  16. Maddon was gone the second the FO decided not to add on another year to his deal. He's a lame duck manager. If they win the WS, he can use the "I'm going out on top" excuse. If they flame out and either miss the playoffs or get bounced quickly, they'll say they're looking for a new voice in the clubhouse or some other [expletive] line. Don't know what excuse they'd use if the Cubs make the NLCS or WS and lose but I'm sure they'd have something.
  17. He said the same thing before the 9 game road swing the Cubs just went on and all they did was.. -blow a 2-run lead in the 8th inning -blow a 1-run lead in the 8th inning -blow a 2-run lead in the 8th and a 1-run lead in the 10th
  18. Don't worry guys. We're this close to figuring it out and winning a road series.
  19. We’re definitely scoring like 10 runs tomorrow and winning before scoring 4 total in the first two games of the Cards series. That’s classic 2018 second half Cubs. Nailed it. Was off by one run in the Brewers game and one run in the two Cards games. Of course the implication was we’d lose both Cards games so I’m glad to be partially wrong.
  20. This would be more depressing if it wasn't so predictable.
  21. Perhaps you've never seen Tony Kemp. Altuve and Kemp are both listed as 5' 6", 165 lbs That’s only because it’s the lowest height and weight allowed in the create a player mode.
  22. The Pirates threw one at Dietrich's head earlier because they didn't like the way he watched a home run he hit back in April. If the Pirates are involved, it's always on the Pirates. I was reading a story that said the Pirates threw up and in on Dietrich and my first thought was wondering if it was actually inside or did it just appear inside to Dietrich because he stands on the plate. But yeah, it’s on the Pirates.
