  1. This is going to be a long game. But hey, no Russell.
  2. As much as I'd like to think Zobrist isn't here as some sort of protest against their handling of Russell, from all the evidence/rumors it sounds like he's dealing with something on his own, and hopefully he works through it. Don't think it has anything to do with Russell.
  3. Russell and almora winning this game is the worst timeline lol nevermind
  4. I'd say that applies to both guys. Theo has shown he's all too happy to play the enabler time and time again. Yeah, Theo in the same interview welcoming Russell back into the clubhouse and then banning the white power dude from Wrigley is quite a look.
  5. Holy horsefeathers get this horsefeathers out of baseball
  6. Alright Champions League is definitely staged
  7. Zobrist's personal issue was before Russell was called up. Zobrist played with Chapman. I don't think this is why he's on the restricted list. Yeah, wishful thinking really. I know there were rumors that him (and KB) were especially upset about this one...think the difference between this and Chapman is that KB and Zobrist's wives were close with Melisa. Whatever Zobrist is actually going through, hope everything is alright.
  8. Strop to DL (left hamstring), Monty up Zobrist to restricted list for personal leave, Russell called up, batting 8th, playing second Honestly if this is just Zobrist refusing to show up, this will be the coolest thing he's done as a Cub, and yes, I'm including his hit in game 7.
  9. Maybe Zobrist found out about this right before the game yesterday and just quit.
  10. Activated. horsefeathers this.
  11. Someone who’s good at math throw a .340 BABIP on those numbers.
  12. I sound 60 years old, but please go inside and get a horsefeathering towel.
  13. Just daring Almora to get thrown out at second to end the the inning
  14. Make it 4. Honestly, the last couple years the CL seems staged.
  15. [tweet] [/tweet] This pitcher is actually pretty decent, despite his MLB The Show minor league filler name. Almora is probably like our 6th best hitter against lefties when he's playing well, which he isn't, and when it's a normal lefty, which it isn't (lefties hit him a good amount better last year, and a little bit better this year). So of course, he will be getting the most PAs tonight.
  16. Yeah but he couldnt even hit a 2 run HR in the 9th yesterday. We needed 2 runs and he could only give us 1. But in all seriousness, its good to see him turning around after a slow start. Every player has slumps and historically KB has been streaky at times. Assuming he's turning it around it was just awful timing for him to start out the season in a bad slump after last season. (which as you are sort of pointing out was aided a lot by bad luck). Yeah I mean, the start wasn't great for reasons beyond luck...from what I can tell his BABIP has actually gone down since the first couple weeks. But even then, it was still a .690 OPS. I'm going to bet just about every player in baseball has a two week stretch like that. Since then, he's been unreal (.965 OPS on a .260 BABIP).
  17. Kris Bryant, who is bad, now has the following: The best walk rate (14.8%) of his career. The best strike out rate (19.0%) of his career. The best hard hit rate (41.6%) of his career. The best soft hit rate (11.2%) of his career. A .274 BABIP, which is 67 points lower than his career average, and 58 points lower than his next worst BABIP year.
  18. The last few wins have been too easy. Let’s make this one fun.
  19. I’m glad it seems like they’re gonna be sticking Zobrist in the OF more when he plays, he looked pretty bad at 2B so far this year. Especially since Bote/KB are plus defenders on the IF to replace him. And more Zobrist in the outfield = less Almora.
  20. Rizzo going into May 3rd last year: .171/.269/.280 He finished with a .846 OPS.
  21. Three straight hitters on the Cardinals have now attempted bunting.
  22. Hendricks has thrown 16 pitches, all of them between 85 and 87 MPH, and gotten 6 outs.
  23. I'd take the under on Matt Carpenter for like $5 I'd take the under on Chris Carpenter for $1000000
