with the way they've finished the last 2 seasons, i'd rather they just try and close out the division before "trying stuff" and dicking around. i know there's no real advantage of winning the division in terms of the postseason, but it still means something. the odds are heavily in their favor, but 3.5 is not wrapped up, especially with all the games the cardinals have left. plus we don't need to see chafin in a tie game to know he sucks Eh, I don’t really care about the last two years. That shouldn’t affect the planning for playoffs. The Cardinals still need to win at a decent clip to pass us and a 3.5 game lead at this point is essentially wrapped up. It’s over 90%. Chafin has been good in the past and he hasn’t sucked. I have personal bias thinking he sucks but he has gotten results. But it was fine spot and time to use him, they have to get him 3-4 outings here over the final week to see if he’s worth rostering for the playoffs. over 90% doesn't mean wrapped up. they should be going for wins right now.

how has maybin been good? After tonight he’s at .260/.300/.350 or so with us. For what he was brought in for (backup OF/pinch hitter/Almora role) that’s “good.” He’s hit the ball hard in to some tough outs too. he was at 0.0 fwar going into today. there is no way you can justify calling his performance with the cubs good.

He's been one of the better setup guys in the league the last few years. that's a bit generous. but it's not the last 2 years. he's been butt for both teams he's played for in 2020. i don't see what bringing him into a tie game is going to show you, even if he pitched a perfect inning.

What? ?

I'm wondering how amused I should be that all 3 deadline acquisitions this year are going to be completely useless. Maybin has been good. And Osich has looked okay despite the results in extremely limited work, lots of Ks and FIP/xFIP in the 1s. I’ve always thought Chafin was just average to bad and that seems to be the case still. Martinez at least hit the ball hard tonight, with KB down I’d play him every day the rest of the way to see if he gets going and can maybe get something to click come playoffs. how has maybin been good?

i would definitely not say the division is locked up Unless you think we are going to lose out, and even then the Cardinals still need to win 5-6 of their final 9 games (Idk what the exact math is but that has to be close) it effectively is wrapped up. And with this playoff set up, now that we’re in to some degree, I’d rather they be trying some guys and different things out to maximize the playoff roster and decisions vs doing the right leverage moves to win games now. with the way they've finished the last 2 seasons, i'd rather they just try and close out the division before "trying stuff" and dicking around. i know there's no real advantage of winning the division in terms of the postseason, but it still means something. the odds are heavily in their favor, but 3.5 is not wrapped up, especially with all the games the cardinals have left. plus we don't need to see chafin in a tie game to know he sucks

nice moves, theo
-
the ball went over the wall?
-
make up an injury for happ so his numbers don't drop anymore
-
if theo thought the offers weren't there for our hitters last offseason, then how is he supposed to make any moves this offseason? how can we shake things up when none of our guys even have value?
-
wait, so they won't play those 2 games if it decides the division? like, if the cards are in the playoffs and 1 game back of the cubs at the end of sunday, they wouldn't play the 2 game to try and win the division? it would be pretty lame to win the division with cardinals fans being able to say they would have won it if they played the last 2 games
-
back to 3.5 i guess
-
good job giving up on that play ian
-
watching kyle schwarber bat really gives you a tidy summary of the post 2016 cubs offense. trying to force deep at-bats by taking hittable pitches instead of actually recognizing balls vs strikes, missing meatballs right down the middle, failing to make contact when it's paramount, and hitting a solo or 2-run home run once every 4 games.

with happ currently dying, heyward is our last good hitter. 2020 is nuts
-
lester is like the complete opposite of most of the team. his talent is gone but he somehow finds ways to be productive and perform well in big games
-
i fear KB is done, but the thought of non-tendering him is infuriating.

Cubs trade Eloy, Cease, others for Quintana

so sick of hearing about this trade. eloy is good but not good enough for this to bother me that much, considering all the good things that theo did. i doubt that brewers fans have trouble sleeping at night because they traded nelson cruz in 2006 -

KB's peak (which is a pretty awesome peak): he gave us nearly 30 war (for cheap) and was the league mvp the season we won a world series. if this is the end of KB being great, i'm at peace with it. HAVING SAID THAT, it wouldn't really surprise me if he rebounds and has some more 4-5 win seasons -
