  1. Strictly looking at his stats, he reminds me of KB. -Crushed the ball in college for 3 years -Drafted and then crushes the ball for half a season in the minors at age 21 -partial season for Kurtz and a year younger but he's got a 31.7% K rate and a 10.6% walk rate (before today) this year while KB was at 30.6 and 11.8 his rookie year
  2. Kurtz tied Shawn Green for most total bases in a single game with 19.
  3. Rockies had gone 220 games without recording a shutout before today. It was the third longest streak in major league history and they’re the only team since 1900 to go at least 200 games without a shutout. They beat the Cardinals 6-0 today.
  4. Our camera guys are really good at making warning track fly outs look like they’re going to travel 450 feet.
  5. How dare we be concerned about the team with the ... *checks notes* ... best record in baseball!
  6. Why do we keep sending Brown out there? Something clearly isn't working with him. How hard is it to find some guy who can pitch to a 4.3 ERA? Even that would be way better than what Brown is doing this year.
  7. Yeah that was really bad. I just assumed Kyle was in one of his phases where he’s completely lost interest in the Cubs and disappeared.
  8. Wasn't there a poster in 2018 who kept saying the Brewers weren't that good or am I mixing up the years? I'm just getting some major deja vu about the Brewers not being as good as us yet sticking in the race. He wrote articles for the site, I believe. And yes, I"m well aware that just because it happened in the past doesn't mean it's going to happen again this year.
  9. Dodgers down 6-4 in the ninth, bases loaded and two outs. Guy grounds one softly toward short, shortstop is shifted so he has to make a running off balance throw that goes off the 1Bmans glove and trickles behind him. Makes it 6-5. Except the guy running to third basically jogs there and stops, preventing him from scoring the tying run. Solid work!
  10. Dodgers defense helping them out. CFer just blew a relatively simple catch for the third run.
  11. Would have been really nice to get that insurance run home.
  12. There was that one probably 15 years ago now against the White Sox where it was a super obvious obstruction against the White Sox, the umps called it and Hawk completely lost his shit on air.
  13. We'll be either 1 or 2 games up on Milwaukee at the end of the day and we're over 60% of the way through the season. It's not early May. It's totally understandable to be seeing what other teams around us are doing. And if you don't think the Brewers are going to seriously challenge us so you're checking the scoreboard to see where the Cubs are in the race for the 1 seed, that's fine too!
  14. https://www.fangraphs.com/tools/crowdsourced-trade-value Enjoy. I learned I might be a bit of a homer since PCA is my current No. 1.
  15. So it's either KB or Lester, right? Either you just say F it let's build a super offense or you get the ace SP that we all want. If you include the 2015 Cubs, then it's got to be God Mode Arrieta.
  16. I believe I saw Boyd briefly but I haven't been paying super close attention.
  17. Both dumb but yes the tiebreaker is worse. No way they can project how far each of those would have traveled down to the inch. Just do a swing off like they’ve always done.
  18. Lol. Raleigh winning a tiebreaker to knock out Rooker by 0.08 feet might be the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen.
  19. Yeah, Jazz predictably did terribly.
  20. We can only hope.
  21. I’ll be shocked if Trump isn’t front and center next year during the trophy lift.
