  1. Yeah Jameis sucks, but his 2019 season will always be hilarious. Over 5000 yards, over 30 TD and 30 INT. New record of 7 pick 6’s in a season and the final pass he threw was a pick-6.
  2. Yeah our pen still sucks, but this one is squarely on the offense.
  3. Cabrera in to really put the game out of reach.
  4. Two innings where we just needed to get a run home from second and couldn’t do it.
  5. Nico swinging at a 2-0 pitch up and in. Just take your walk.
  6. What gave you that idea? Was it trying to bunt a pitch at his eyes? Lol.
  7. Ben Brown is our currently WAR leader for pitchers and he hasn’t pitched since mid June, made only 8 starts (20 total appearances) and only threw 68 innings.
  8. Junk has also been pitching for the Cubs most of the year.
  9. Correct. They went 6-1 against Philly and 5-1 against San Diego. Very likely won't matter but they went 4-2 against Arizona also.
  10. Any time you have to get carted off with an upper body injury, you know it’s bad.
  11. took a foul ball off his face while standing on deck.
  12. Not sure if anyone else did it but the closest miss on either HR or SB (I know you specified SB) was in 2024 when Jose Ramirez ended on 39 HR.
  13. PCA getting all of his outs out now so he get have a huge playoffs.
  14. Butterfly effect and all but at least they would have scored that run anyway.
  15. All time bad beat in Vandy-NC St today. Line closed Vandy -3 https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/49982472/vanderbilt-recovers-fumble-1-second-left-stun-nc-state
  16. Well at least they scored today! LOL. I knew it would take some time with a new manager and a ton of new players but it’s still pretty disappointing that they look so bad. Chelsea hasn’t recorded a shutout in 21 straight games. They play 2 more games, then host Spurs at Stamford Bridge. Guaranteed Chelsea shutout there. Because if there’s one team that can stop a bad streak for Chelsea, it’s Spurs. Just like the end of last year when Chelsea lost like 5 or 6 straight then beat Spurs.
  17. I would assume the Cubs would be the late game in that scenario. Braves and Yankees will be hosting so they won't be the late game. So if the Padres are hosting, your choices are either Padres-Cubs or Astros/Rangers-Rangers/Orioles/Jays.
  18. 181 Ks in 117 games is a pace for 250 over 162 games. Speaking of the strikeout record, Schwarber needs 12 Ks in the last 10 games to set the record.
  19. I was a little annoyed yesterday that he didn’t try to steal in the 1st inning yesterday after he walked. Especially since Seiya ended up hitting into a DP on the third pitch anyway.
  20. Someone can correct me if I’m not fully accurate, but I believe the pitching WAR removes defense. So the Cubs pitchers have a great defense behind them while the Phillies pitchers don’t. It doesn’t punish pitchers for having a bad defense behind them but it doesn’t credit them for having a good defense behind them.
  21. You guys are doing the “well people are saying” thing now. Look hard enough (and sometimes you don’t have to look that hard) and you can find people who believe and say just about anything. I can only speak for myself, by my belief on the Cubs comes with the caveat of “baseball gonna baseball” sometimes. My belief is that with our pitching staff, even with how good the position players are, it’s going to be really hard to win 4 playoff rounds in a row. I don’t buy the pitching wins championships thing. But I think you need balance. You’re going to have to win games in different ways in the playoffs and overall, we have one way to win a game, which is to score a bunch of runs. Does that mean we can’t or won’t win a 1-0 or 2-1 game? Or that our pitching will give up 6 runs every game? Of course not. Want to discount the Phillies for the same reason? That’s fine! If the Phillies got brought up because of me, I just named the team we’re most likely to play in the WC round, not because I’m terrified of the Phillies.
