We'll have dropped Pittsburgh's playoff odds from 31.4% going into Monday to about 15% or so after tonight. For no reason other than that we can.
-
Hope you guys have enjoyed the 2015 and 2016 Cy Young winners, here's a reminder we also employ the 2016 MVP.
-
With Rondon the pretty much not a secret weapon, and Strop the kind of a secret weapon, and Grimm the occasionally unhittable secret weapon, and Montgomery the jesus they have this guy too secret weapon.
-
I want Kyle Hendricks to finish off our World Series victory with a complete game shutoff and then take three mopey steps off the mound towards the dugout before Javy spears him into the ground in celebration.
-
In the year of big strong dongsmen, the George Michael of the team is going to walk away with the top individual honors.

Kyle Hendricks: Somehow Greg Maddux
squally1313 replied to Aaron_Kennelly's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Kyle Hendricks is now the Cubs leading starter in fWAR, in 16 fewer innings than Arrieta (and 8 fewer innings than Lester). We may not have a super ace, but we've got 3 legitimate #1s, which I'm more than fine with. -
It also works out to a full lineup if you were to combine the two. Not sure if that was his intent either, but yeah, I don't think he was putting the two groups up in some sort of competitive way.
-
Celebrating between first and second base....does that look horsefeathering familiar, Pittsburgh? God the Pirates actually cared about winning that game.
-
Was there even a split second of happiness when Bryant's hit dropped?
-
There is no way we lose this game.
-
Really, all you do is make solider contact against a garbage pitcher like Locke. Really isn't hard. This is why we're fighting for a playoff spot and the Pirates are in autopilot mode until October.
-
Of course it has to be X-Pac. Whatever...good learning experience for Zystyzyzyzyss
-
Eh, no Melancon for the 9th, and a part of the order that's had a good game. Keep it here, give them PTSD by making them watch us celebrate on the field.
-
Oh good X-Pac is in.
-
There's only so many options too. Edwards still isn't going back to back games, Grimm and Chapman are the only other late inning options. Pena is bad until proven otherwise in low leverage, Cahill has thrown the previous 2 days, and Zastryzny isn't really any better an option to finish that inning. Yeah, this is going to happen occasionally in the regular season and much less in the playoffs with the staggered schedule. I just hope Montgomery shows enough to take whatever job Travis theoretically has come October.
-
With the caveat that Maddon is way better at his job than I would be, there is a bit of a silver lining to one of our few objectively bad players playing bad/proving they are bad in a meaningless August game, thus making it less likely that they will play (and theoretically play badly) in an October game.
-
Unpopular opinion here, but um...go look at some of Jake's highlights from the Wild Card game last year. Not saying we didn't deserve the win, but...we're just as likely to get the calls as we are for them to go against us when it matters (and if you believe in conspiracies, we're probably more likely than not to get the calls, but probably besides the point).
-
God the Cardinals might really blow this thing.
-
I think since always, but it's always hard for me to tell before it gets to his verse (and it usually cuts off before that for Rizzo from the times I've been there).
-
Nope. Now 3-3 with two bombs and two walks.
-
Can you even imagine how not fun this game is for Pirates fans right now? It actually matters for them, and they are getting shut down by the same dude who sent them home less than a year ago (after telling them exactly what was going to happen) while some scrub is on the mound for them getting lit up because their 'ace' got sent home to have his arm examined. And this is game one of this series.
-
The dream is still alive. My Dad, a Cardinal fan, is sitting in the bleachers and just texted me in an attempt to 'jinx' the no-hitter. After three innings. The fear that Jake (and the rest of this team) puts into the minds of opposing fans will never cease to be amusing.
-
Jason Heyward, last 7 games (no idea if this includes tonight): .348/.348/.565.
-
The last two games against subpar pitchers were dumb. 8 spot here please. Or don't. Whatever. Just Jake pitch well please.
-
Oh so I was only like 40 years behind the times on this one. Perfect, carry on.
