    Joke’s on you. It was only 25. Not going to matter when he throws 15 next inning and then another 25 in the top of the third and is done after 4 2/3.

    Maybe time to start the game with a reliever like the Rays do. This is getting ridiculous.

    Cubs pitchers now have a 5.54 ERA in the first innings and a .847 OPS allowed. Last year they were at 5.67 and .858.

    I’m tired of Almora batting higher than 7th.

    They're aware there isn't a DH in the NL, right? Aguilar can only play first. Shaw's been playing third and is also a lefty so it's not like they'll be able to run some sort of platoon. He and Moustakas have been pretty similar offensively this year (Shaw walks more) so it's not like they're upgrading at third. I guess they can sit Aguilar a bit against righties but he's got a much better OPS than Moustakas against righties. The ESPN article says they might put Shaw at 2nd. Seems like he has good defensive numbers at third but putting a 6-4 dude at 2nd seems a bit risky.

    Well they haven't ruled him out for the year yet so from that standpoint it's a positive.

    I can't wait for Molina to retire.
  8. soccer10k
    Heyward should have had that.

    They also DFA’d Tyler Lyons and sent Brett Cecil to the DL. This is as good a time as any to remind everyone that the Cards still owe Cecil $15M the next two years.

    Does Fukudome's game tying homer on Opening Day count? Also had a .915 OPS in April that year.

    Braves comeback. Most improbable, crazy weather. Probably has to be #1 Today. Bote emergence has been a fun ride. We also might have passed Tyler chatwood like a stone. Heyward granny was awesome. It's finally good (great) to be a cubs fan. I'd put Heyward number 2. This was before we believed Heyward might actually be fixed and it was off a lefty with two outs.

    Seriously. I know the wind was blowing out to right but that almost cleared the bleachers.

    Glad we saved Justin Wilson to protect a lead in the 8th that we don’t actually have.
  14. soccer10k
    Justin Wilson hasn't pitched since Saturday, if you really insisted on a lefty. That’s what I was wanting there or just bring in Chavez I would have rather had them just leave Chatwood in, not that it’s really saying much.

    I’m sick of Nick Ahmed.
  16. soccer10k
    Fixed.
  17. soccer10k
    Seeing Avila’s ball go out but Schwarber’s die before the track is extremely annoying.
  18. soccer10k
    Thought Chatwood was actually going to go 2 straight innings without walking a guy. So much for that.

    So the Nats are 50-51. For comparison, last year the Cubs were 54-47 after 101 games and had "woken up", having won 11 of 13. To get 95 wins, they would have to go 45-16, which is a 119 win pace. To get 90 wins, they would have to go 40-21, which is a 106 win pace. To get 87 wins, they would have to go 37-24, which is a 98 win pace. To get 85 wins, they would have to go 35-26, which is a 93 win pace. Since they went to two wild cards, the lowest win total to make the playoffs is 85, from the Twins last year. In the NL, it's 87, done three times (Rockies last year and the Mets and Giants in 2016). Right now they're 7 back of Philly and 5.5 back of Atlanta, who they're also behind for the second wild card. They've got 7 left against Atlanta and 9 against Philly. Bare minimum they have to win both series, if not 5-2 vs. Atl and/or 6-3 vs. Philly. They've also got 12 games against Miami and 9 against the Mets left, though Philly has 21 combined and Atlanta 17. I wouldn't be surprised if 88 wins is enough for them to either win the division or snag one of the wild card spots but they're running out of time and they're going to have to play at around a 100-win pace the rest of the way to make the playoffs.

    CUBS WIN!

    Son of a bitch.
  22. soccer10k
    Hold on to your butts.
  23. soccer10k
    Wish Addison wouldn’t have swung 2-0. Changed the whole PA.
  24. soccer10k
    Didn't see that result coming.

    Zero faith in Almora here.
