  1. He is our team leader in bWAR this year. Third in fWAR.
  2. Different body part but did Zobrist have any sort of surgery on his wrist in the offseason. He was dealing with that for most of last year and I think I remember hearing he just needed rest to let it heal. This could obviously be worse than that but sometimes rest is the only thing that helps.
  3. I'm in the win column! Of course, even the blind squirrel finds a nut every once and a while. The Pirates had some fun a couple weeks ago when they won 11 straight games and had outside hopes at a wildcard, but they're pretty mediocre so it would be nice to crush them. Plus the Brewers and Cardinals play this weekend so if we win games, we'll pick up ground on someone. GO CUBS!
  4. [-X Ok Southpaw, now pick up Matt Carpenter. EDIT: He got hit in the back of the hand or the wrist in the 7th inning today and left the game immediately.
  5. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/TEX/TEX200905160.shtml It was this game. Lackey threw all of two pitches. He hit Kinsler and was tossed.
  6. Umps tossed Urena which should diffuse it a bit. Wonder how many starting pitchers have ever only thrown one pitch in a game before.
  7. Ronald Acuna has homered in 5 straight games. First pitch of tonight’s game Urena plunks him with a 98 mph fastball. The rest of that game should be interesting.
  8. Those are both strikes. horsefeathers off, blue.
  9. Shaw’s not having the best of days defensively. Didn’t learn from Russell either.
  10. It was only three years ago that we had the third best record in the majors and not only didn’t win the division but weren’t even guaranteed a home playoff game. Sometimes you get stuck with that and sometimes you get a weak division.
  11. Wait, we’re allowed to not give up runs in the first? Interesting.
  12. Sure, don’t wear sunglasses on a day game.
  13. Fun facts: Terrance Gore has never gotten a hit in the majors. He’s 0-11. He did walk once and got hit by 2 pitches so he’s got a .214 OBP. He has scored 14 runs in the majors. He has 21 career stolen bases. He has a career OPS+ of -34.
  14. Tommy might not be our best PH option even if he's the only position player left on the bench.
  15. The Astros are only 1.5 games up on the A's and that could drop to 1 game if the A's hold on tonight.
  16. Much like the Cubs, my game thread starting abilities peaked in 2016 so sorry in advance. I usually post Fred stats as my game thread starters but that hasn't worked out too well this year. Cubs don't need to win this one but it sure would be nice if they did. GO CUBS!
  17. Remember when we all gave up on the 2016 Cubs when they went 8-15 with a -26 RD from June 18 through July 10? That season sure amounted to nothing.
  18. Quintana was at 71 pitches, there was nobody on and one out. Just leave him in.
  19. Good thing we have the big hitting Seal Boy batting 5th.
