I do remember like 4-6 weeks ago realizing that the Cubs haven't had a 30 HR guy since Schwarber (and KB) in 2019, which seemed shocking to me, and a little emblematic of how the offense had been just somewhat above average hitters without any elite talent for the last few years. And at the time Seiya and PCA seemed like locks, and Busch and Tucker were at least 50/50. Now...man. I assume those two will still get there, but the fact that they haven't yet is pretty depressing.
-
wait, does that mean the brewers are terrible too? i mean, the cubs are coming off a road sweep and the brewers were coming off a road series loss, so if losing two games to the giants (and they were at home too!) is some season defining event, surely we can cross them off the list of contenders as well
-
The Cubs fall to 3-2 on a west coast road trip after winning a five game series against the hottest team in recent baseball history. Obviously, given those results, the correct conclusion is that the team is terrible and broken and irreparably broken.

Do you think he’s the right guy to take out if you can only take out one of Happ or PCA?
-
Castro for happ, Turner for Busch
-
I know our next day off isn't till next Thursday and all this stuff accumulates but don't really love the idea of making Boyd grind through this inning and get up to 100 pitches when they've clearly seen him pretty well today.
-
this is getting annoying
-
Lot of Ks but a lot of loud contact for Boyd today.
-
realizing the brewers won by seeing the score as that guy banged his double off the scoreboard was a double whammy
-
yeah i'm guessing most guys score in that situation (two outs, not hit directly at the outfielder), but man, that replay of him rounding third was insane.
-
Bloop single to left that got away, PCA took second and was called out on the tag but Cubs are challenging and replay is pretty clear he got his other hand in first and held the bag, so should be overturned.

Happ Hoerner Tucker Suzuki Busch Swanson/Shaw PCA Kelly Swanson/Shaw

We had a day off yesterday
-
If the Cubs were 80% favorites to win every individual game of the series, which would be very extreme, the percentage chance of them sweeping the series is 51%. They 'can'. They probably won't.
-
I get it, taking that approach certainly makes the rest of the season a lot more low stress. Would basically have to forfeit the season to miss the playoffs, whereas HFA in round one looks to be a bit of a dogfight. Might take your route and just decide not to care as much. Football is starting, weather is perfect, I'll just pop in occasionally and annoy people with talking about how the good team is good and wait until October.
-
I sorta get your points, but every single team referenced, including the Cubs perform significantly better at home. Dodgers are .500 on the road, Padres are under .500. Should we run our starters ragged trying to lock it down? Probably not. But I'd much rather have it than not.
-
Since July 3rd (now with all of them so I can just reuse this the next time someone makes a dumb argument) Ian Happ is fine. Seiya Suzuki is fine. Kyle Tucker got pretty screwed up there for a little while, but is probably fine. (don't ask why I didn't include PCA there, you don't really want to know what that one looked like)
-
The playoffs are such a crapshoot, especially being stuck in the first round because the Brewers went historically nuclear. We finish the season with a win total in the low 90s, it's hard for me to look at the season as a whole and then it was disappointing. Of course if/when they lose in the playoffs it'll be depressing, but there shouldn't be like, lessons taken from a defeat in a three game series after playing really good baseball over a six month stretch.
-
Tough week for the ‘this is a historic collapse’ crowd
-
Do you think there’s any correlation between the shielding and the production
-
lol 114 mph, Christ
-
Does Cade Horton give off ‘rookie year Chet Steadman’ vibes, or did I take too much of this edible
-
2.90 ERA in 93 innings for Horton. Should do.
-
They’ll just move on to the next guy to horsefeathers talk.
