Lol baseball man
-
We've hit 12 balls over 95 mph today. Big picture it's been a little discouraging, today it's a lot of hard hit balls not ending up as hits. Yes, I know I'm contradicting myself from like 4 minutes ago. Oh well.
-
I just don't think he has options and is desperately trying to find a couple more reliable pieces now that we have somewhat of a head start on a playoff spot. I'm more made at Hoyer than Ross, though in his defense it didn't really seem like anyone picked up a huge amount of help, so maybe it just wasn't out there.
-
Honestly though, and this is probably one of those things that we think only happen to our teams but actually happens everywhere, but.....this team horsefeathers hates putting a game away. You're in Coors, and you know this pen is falling apart, 3 runs isn't going to cut it.
-
Well, we have 6 outs in Colorado to make up for this Cuas blow up that has been coming for a while now. If we can knock Cuas out of the circle of trust he never belonged in and all we have to do is scrape together 2 runs in Coors....it could be worse.
-
Ok having fun now
-
This is grimly telling that we're sticking it out with him right now.
-
If not then, now. Please.
-
Kinda feel like our hopes rely on Stroman turning into a 2 inning stud for 6 weeks, especially now with Adbert potentially dead.
-
Ok go get him
-
That would be really dumb, but also marginally not worth getting upset over.
-
FG has us as the best baserunning team in the baseball, which I guess is a testament to how good we've been because we have just been terrible at stealing bases this past week or so.
-
Did Little get sent back down or do we just assume that Ross is going to treat him like canario?
-
Rookie of the Year was bigger, obviously has the Cubs/Wrigley aspect, and has the more memorable moments. Little Big League is the better movie.
-
If it helps, we don’t need a sweep. Nor should we expect one.

Week 1 - Packers @ Bears - Soldier Field - September 10th 3:25PM

Feel like the only real winners of this first half are lion fans? -
Cubs > Bears for me, but it was nice just kinda casually following the cubs game in the background while I scrolled through the 12:00 games. Feel like I avoided a bunch of unnecessary stress. Good win, go use the time in Colorado to heat up the bats (but hopefully not ruin wicks, etc)
-
Brewers game is pretty nuts. No hit them through 10, up 3-1 going into bottom 12 and Stanton homers to tie it up.
-
Just popping in to say that this new lineup, which sure doesn’t really matter, is really horsefeathers stupid anyways go bears
-
Feel like Kelly has hit about 15 corners so far today. Pitch count is up at least.
-
Yeah that was so fun
-
Stroman coming back Friday in a relief role is certainly interesting. Would love it if he could dial up his stuff to get some more Ks but guessing he’s already going to be less than 100%
-
No issues with the taillon pull. He’s been consistently bad, third time through, etc. Cuas is not a good pitcher and shouldn’t be trusted. But we don’t have enough good pitchers to totally avoid those kinds of dicey situations. Keegan falling apart hurt, smyly and kilian not having their stuff play up in the pen hurts, settling on Cuas as your only bullpen pickup really hurts, just because that seems the easiest one to avoid. Additional days off in October should help with some of that, but, as you mentioned, some of these guys are venturing into unexplored territory, innings wise. it’s weird because I feel like the last few years they’ve been really good about finding reliever projects and flipping them for prospects. This year we could have just used the pitchers, but nothing really developed.
-
I was more focused on the fact that we were earnestly talking about this hypothetical when the reality is that Ross ‘took’ a team that was supposed to be 500 and has them on pace to win like 87 games and make the playoffs. (managers are probably pretty worthless but serve as good fall guys)
-
Yeah I’m kinda trying to find a middle ground too, while also trying to move away from the ‘well it’s a game thread, of course people are going to be negative’ mentality. It’s not like the regular threads are significantly better. It’s an overperforming team (compared to everyone’s expectations in march) that has been really fun, and really stressful to watch. Going to be ups and downs.
