  1. Texted a friend when it was 3-2 that I felt like we would need 6 more runs to win this game. We’ve scored 3 since then and I still feel like we’ll need 6 more to win it.
  2. Was going to be annoyed at Almora there but then I realized it means we get Darvish’s PA out of the way this inning.
  3. Yep, we’re just throwing the division away. The team that will still be in first place at the end of the day and is on pace for *checks notes* 96 wins is just throwing the division away.
  4. We’re unlucky we haven’t won 6 in a row.
  5. Willy definitely going to be hacking first pitch.
  6. We just don’t get 2 out hits, and other teams do. That’s the story of the losses on this homestand. Cubs have a 890 OPS with RISP and 2 out, third in the league. Just a .240 BA which is 16th.
  7. The record is 267 which the Yankees set last year. Even crazier is the Orioles are on pace to allow 347 home runs. The record is 258 by the 2016 Reds. At their current pace, the Orioles will beat it in Game 121.
  8. I’m at work right now so no fancy post is coming. Just win, Cubs.
  9. horsefeathers this ump. Gift of a strike 1.
  10. This is other going to be an amazing win or a crushing fake rally.
  11. We’re definitley losing 9-8, right?
  12. Why is Caratini still in the lineup but Bryant isn’t? It’s not like Caratini stayed in at catcher. Joe wants to give KB the full day off from the field?
  13. I’m fine with Chatwood where he is. Still don’t fully trust him. He’s got a 5.13 FIP and a .225 BABIP allowed, and he’s still walking too many, though he’s way better than last year - 5.7 per 9 vs 8.2. He was at 4.2 per 9 in his career before coming to Chicago. His xFIP is only 4.22 and someone smarter than me can tell us if that or FIP is more predictive going forward.
  14. Well I won’t be criticizing Almora for at least a week after that one.
  15. Please always stay on brand. I need consistency in my life. He’s been doing this for a decade. You have nothing to worry about.
  16. Well so much for that. Wacha up to 5.80.
  17. So AAA is using the same balls as the majors are now. PCL average OPS by year 19: .823 18: .763 17: .774 16: .751 .823 would have tied for second last year, is .001 off second in 2017 and would have led the league in 2016. International League: 19: .783 18: .709 17: .719 16: .697 The worst team has a .723 OPS this year. That would have been second in the league in 2016.
