  1. THROW horsefeathering STRIKES
  2. Carl should be a one batter pitcher at this point. If he gets the guy out, don’t press your luck and yank him. If he walks the guy, take him out since he doesn’t have it.
  3. Walks Happ, throws ball one in the dirt so of course you hack at the second one.
  4. Come on, Cubs. Blow this thing open.
  5. Heyward going oppo dong is the 2015 playoffs.
  6. At least we’ll clinch a playoff spot tonight.
  7. Maybe should have gone with the curve he put down initially, Q.
  8. So what inning will Q give up 4 runs? I’ll go the 4th. Breezes first time through the order.
  9. Theory: most starters like to start a game with a strike. There is a high likely hood the first pitch of the game will be a FB Now heres the kicker: Almora happens yo be offensively good at one thing: hitting fastballs Proposition: tell Almora to swing at the first pitch he sees while leading off I don’t think you have to tell Almora to swing at the first pitch. He does that plenty well enough on his own.
  10. If seeing Dickbag McHorseteeth is what the Cubs need to wake up, then he can go to every game for all I care.
  11. I was shocked when you said it was over yesterday and didn't believe it. You just doubled down, so now I do. Welcome. I don’t plan on staying this way long, I’ll be back to believing in them come the WC game and next year. Just this team has a funk on them right now and I don’t think we can shake it in time. Plus we’re fully following the Theo era Sox (if you start our run at 2015) Year 4 was a disappointing season. For the Sox that was missing the playoffs and for us it will be losing in the WC game. The good news is Year 5 is another World Series!
  12. Only team that’s been held to 0 or 1 run more than the Cubs this year is the Orioles.
  13. Cubs are 10-11 since this thread was started. Cubs were 5 games up when this thread was started, now they're 0.5 up. Cubs were 93.2% to win the division when this thread was started per Fangraphs, now they're 65.2%. Cubs were 10.2% to win the World Series when this thread was started, now they're 7.7%. Cubs have scored 0 or 1 runs 7 times in 21 games since this thread was started. Clearly we know what the problem was. Only solution is for IMB to start a panic thread where he declares that he was right, Duke was wrong, the Cubs are trash and they will lose every game the rest of the way.
  14. Brenly bringing the heat. [tweet] [/tweet]
  15. At this point we probably want the Dodgers to win. Don’t want them in a wild card game. Dodgers lose on a walkoff so they're a 1/2 game up. Rockies have the game in hand.
  16. Big misstep not calling them Cobs.
  17. If/when the Cubs clinch a playoff spot they should all get drunk that night. Maybe being hungover will help them play better. Certainly can’t make it any worse.
  18. Yeah but nothing surprising about that. We have a below average offense led by a hitting coach actively trying to destroy it. Anyone can shut us down and many will Nope. We get to face Mikolas and Flaherty. The Brewers have been very fortunate on pitching matchups. That’s probably good for us. We tend to win games started by good pitchers.
