  1. Why send him with 1 out and our 4 and 5 hitters up?
  2. Longest Cubs winning streak since they won 11 straight in 2016.
  3. Also the defense cost us two runs. Last inning doesn’t matter without the errors.
  4. Defense melting down. Just throw to first and get the out.
  5. https://www.tangotiger.net/re24.html In the scenario the Mets were in, it seems that adding baserunners doesn't really change the Cubs odds of scoring in that inning. Walking Nico would theoretically decrease the Cubs chances of scoring, though that would require the Mets to actually want to keep him on 1st. Bases loaded 1 out is basically the same as runner on first with one out, but then it comes down to matchups and how much faith you have in your pitcher to throw strikes. It's Kimbrel, so you probably shouldn't feel great about that.
  6. Would be 1st place in the AL West too. Before today, all 5 AL West teams were at or below .500.
  7. Their 4th inning against Boston last week might have been peak Brewers 4 runs on 3 hits, 3 walk, 1 error and 0 balls hit out of the infield.
  8. Its really just LA. Second best record is 10-6 and the worst record is 6-10. At least so far, we don't have a 2025 Rockies (3-13, -46 RD), 2024 White Sox (2-14, -53 RD) or 2023 A's (3-13, -63 RD). White Sox have the worst RD so far and it's only -30. Took each of those three teams at least 28 games to get their 6th win of the season.
  9. I had the same thought. I get wanting the righty righty matchup but it’s risky.
  10. Their pitcher saw Theilbar’s throw and was like “hold my beer”.
  11. Rory entered today with a 6 stroke lead. He’s through 12 and he’s now down 1.
  12. Come on Dansby. Dude has barely thrown a strikes in the last 10 pitches so why swing at a pitch 6 inches inside?
  13. Yeah, the first two pitches weren’t close so why are you swinging at the third? Make him throw you a strike.
  14. Long way to go but it would be funny if Rory waited so long for that first Masters last year and then won it again.
