    Almora is such horsefeathering trash. 2-0 and barely touched a pitch on his hands and then 3-1 and does that horsefeathers. In the one situation he’s supposed to provide offensive value.
  2. squally1313
    If he qualified, he'd have the second lowest pitches per plate appearance at 3.3. Andrelton Simmons at 3.27, though Almora almost triples his K rate. Then again, Javy is 4th lowest at 3.36, so maybe it's not necessary for success. Lol just kidding Javy is a baseball freak who rules don't apply to.

    God there's no way anyone ever hits that pitch when he executes it.

    I went back through his posts and outside of a few Bears game ones, he had that meltdown when the Al Franken story came out. Man, he's probably one of those people that thinks the Franken thing was all a setup, right? That's one of my favorite lame conspiracy theories: "alright, we're going to pay several women to make up stories about this totally average, unremarkable, ex-SNL writer/cast member Senator, and totally crush him! That will DESTROY the progressive movement in America for DECADES TO come! MUAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAH!!!" No, he basically said it wasn't sexual assault because it wasn't Harvey Weinstein-rape, I told him that it was and accused him of laughing off sexual assault, and then he told me to kill myself. Fun times.

    I honestly don’t remember. It was Sublime, wasn't it? I went back through his posts and outside of a few Bears game ones, he had that meltdown when the Al Franken story came out.

    Also the answer is two bad pitchers from two bad pitching staffs from two decidedly worse NL Central teams than the Cubs who will be competing to extend their season for 4 more games, max.

    go ahead and ban him now and i will be very sure to remind you when it is time to unban him no worries This is kind of how I banned sulley for 2 weeks and forgot to un-ban him. At the risk of sounding self-centered...wait, was this because of me?

    If you're not gonna use Strop to close, I'd say Chavez...the homer last night not withstanding. But Strop really is probably the best candidate. Yeah, doing that with Chavez eliminates one of his unique qualities, which is that he can throw multiple innings effectively out the pen. Now, in October that may be Monty's job, but given the...fragile nature of our starting pitching, I think you keep both of them in the middle innings role to put out fires.

    Maddon finally goes with the big swinging dick offense.

    [tweet] [/tweet] Please Javy, I'm begging you.

    The Cubs have had a winning record in every month, are 48-26 against sub-.500 teams, are on pace to win 95 games, and are 3 games up on every team in the NL. Yeah....if those are the flaws that lead to 'sending them home early'...who is this magical team of greatness who is going to take care of that job? Because by definition, it has to be a team that's played worse than them this year, at least until the World Series.
  12. squally1313
    I guess just use all your garbage pitchers tonight so Joe will be less likely to use them tomorrow.
  13. squally1313
    I....miss Jason Heyward?
  14. squally1313
    And have averaged less than 3 runs per game in the last 4 Yeah I know that they were hitting well and I also realize that in this 4 game sample they faced Syndergaard and deGrom, but they also faced 2 garbage starters, the horsefeathers Mets pen and some iffy Phillies relievers. This team is just so up and down at times offensively it seems like they can slip into a slump suddenly. .606 OPS in our last 4 games after having a .959 OPS in the 6 games before that. I guess it’s tough to take anything meaningful from a small sample like that though. Yeah that's just....baseball in general. BABIP, 65% failure rate, etc.

    Yeah, maybe I'd feel the same about the West or East teams (besides the Dodgers) if I saw them as often as the Brewers or the Cardinals, but I'd gladly take either of them in the first round. Let those two kill themselves in the one game playoff for the honor of getting swept by the Cubs.
  17. squally1313
    Almora will only play vs Lefties in the playoffs. LaStella might not even make the roster. I yearn for this optimism in Joe.
  18. squally1313
    And the cardinals and Brewers avoid facing both in their series. The VBs or Cardinals face Scherzer this weekend or next week. VBs are in DC for the weekend and Cardinals go there for the next series starting Monday. Scherzer could go on regular rest Sunday vs the VBs or extra rest Monday vs the Cardinals. Also the Cardinals have, after our win today, probably like a 5% chance of winning the division, so who cares. Lol the Brewers.
  19. squally1313
    No, seriously. None of those guys are going to be playing in October. Darn, I guess we'll just have to face....worse pitchers.
  20. squally1313
    The actual players chosen are...whatever. Curious as to the thought process that led to Almora and Schwarber, probably the two most opposite hitters on the team, getting the most ABs. But hey, he said it was going to be wacky, so he had to live up to that.
  21. squally1313
    But what are we going to do against all the good pitchers in October
  22. squally1313
    A picked off runner, a two RBI single off Thor, and a highlight defensive play. Is this the weirdest Lester start of his Cubs career?
  23. squally1313
    Haven't looked at it enough to know what kind of quality it is, but based on the numbers it looks like /r/chicubs is far bigger than NSBB...755 comments on the game thread yesterday, for example.
