Cubs win, Cubs hit positive run differential, bullpen pitches 7 shut out innings.
-
Addendum to my previous posts. Every time Randy Rosario gets brought into the game, there should be boos. Not so much for Randy as a person...no idea what kind of guy he's like. But the decision to have Randy Rosario pitch should be consistently and roundly booed.
-
Cubs now have a positive run differential on the year, 72-71. For comparison, the Tigers are in first place at 7-3 and their differential is also at 1....27-26.

I....might be back in.

Outisde of the Lester injury, which thankfully looks minor, today is basically Pretzel Day, and the rest of the season is the other 364 days of working at Dunder Mifflin for Stanley. (Yeah, I couldn't find a relevant gif)
-
There isn't going to be a game the next two days (day off and beautiful Chicago weather), so let's just win this one. There was discussion of moving Wednesday's game to Tuesday given the weather forecasts....I wonder if the Cubs back away from that now that we need 7 innings of relief from our pen.

That was incredibly scary. From Rizzo's bat to Taillon's head to one hopping the center fielder. Somehow he's staying in, so maybe got deflected.

Jon Lester forever.

I know it’s going against the KB sucks and is actually bad now thing people are jumping on, but I think he’s gonna be fine. Just having a rough ~4 games here, it happens. He was on Tallion there. I'm fine with the concern that he never turns back into an MVP contender, and becomes more of a Matt Carpenter type player than what we were expecting. I don't agree, but I get it. Bryant putting up a .687 OPS in the first week, so all of a sudden he sucks is nonsense. Rizzo put up a .448 in the entire month of April last year.

There's Cervelli having to stop himself from throwing the ball around the horn to appeal to third on what was an obvious checked swing. Looking forward to him holding his glove for 4 seconds to buy a call and then having a key RBI with a 12 hopper up the middle.
-
Those aren't mutually exclusive scenarios That's true. That said, I've already heard a lot of cheering. Hope you aren't too disappointed and that things can turn around by the end of the game. It's just...who are you going to boo in this lineup right now? Everyone is either killing the ball, or is already a Cubs legend. Boo Maddon when he comes out if you think he's doing a bad job (won't happen), boo when Almora grounds out to short if he pinch hits, boo Russell just for fun. But that's about it.
-
If we had broken through in 1998, 2003, or 2006-2007 (anything before that I was too young)...option 2 all day. But given the circumstances, has to be option 1.
-
I hope the Ricketts get booed, but I doubt they are dumb enough to play any part in this. Which players do you think deserve to be booed?
-
It's weird, I absolutely feel like I'm a 'flags fly forever' type, or at least closer to that than the other extreme (I did, after all, watch the World Series video last night and loved it just as much as I always do), but if the 4 years really is all we get for a while, it's still going to be frustrating. I think I was a 'flags fly forever' guy just based on 1908 and the anticipation of that kind of event/celebration. After the last couple years, I think I'm probably on the other side. As long as the team can entertain me and be reasonably competitive for 6 months, I'm not going to get too worked up about a set of glorified coin flips come October. While I would love to go back to my 2016 thought process that we were going to win 100+ games for the foreseeable future, I still think there's enough here (and enough money) to be over .500 consistently for the next few years. The off field issues are what's holding back my enjoyment more than anything else right now.

At this point let Hoyer or McLeod take over. Theo did exactly what they brought him here to do, but I can certainly see a sense of complacency setting in after putting together a core that has been that good for the last 4 years. His complementary moves to fill out the roster have been disasters in the last couple years, and sorry, but David Bote isn't enough reinforcements from the minor leagues. Get someone in charge with something to prove.

We have a .420 OBP through 5 games. We are 1-4. -
Also OPSing 1.000.
-
We extended Bote through 2024, with 2 club options. Bote approached Theo. I don't even have a joke here.

Let the hate flow thread - our rosters have been totally mismanaged
squally1313 replied to imb's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Is this the same fan graphs that had the Cubs winning the divtion for basically 95 percent of the time last year? They loved the Cubs more than Duke did, horsefeathers fangraphs. Out of curiosity, what do you think the odds were of Milwaukee winning 10 out of their last 11 games? Somewhere around 1 in 20? -
its your dong meter, you set the parameters So like, when it's been 3 days, Sofa will tell everyone it's actually been 6?
-
Maybe the first few innings were just like a tribute to Chili. Like how a football team will run one play with 10 guys.

I want this clip played on repeat at my funeral I want it on repeat on my honeymoon

Can someone explain to me why someone who has been throwing warm up pitches needs to throw 8 more warm up pitches after a 400 foot jog (or, preferably, a 30 second bullpen cart ride)? I get it at the beginning of the inning, but these guys have just thrown at least a dozen pitches usually. If they aren't ready when you make the move, either don't bring them in or deal with the consequences.
