6/22 Cubs (Quintana) at Reds (Castillo) 6:10, WGN

chatwood's baby is going to walk right out of the womb -
When is the last time you heard opposing announcers talk about how fun it is to watch another team? And when their own team was in the World Series the previous year? i mean, i'm sure the cubs are generally known around the league as a fun team to watch because of all the fun players they have. that doesn't mean the games themselves this season haven't been boring an unusual amount of the time. i don't see why this needs to be an argument. people calling the 2018 cubs season boring shouldn't bother you.

I find myself viscerally agreeing with 17 Seconds, but if I take a breath my brain can explain to me that it's just this extended limp dick stretch on offense. 2 runs against Harvey, all the shut outs, the occasional majestic Schwarber dong being our only sustenance. It's very frustrating watching so many good hitters hit like Jason Heyward used to hit. I know it will end, it just doesn't feel like it will ever end. Yeah, the offensive struggles are frustrating. But you're right; they won't continue. And the good thing is that they aren't always boring when the bats go cold because they play amazing defense and have good starting pitching and a good bullpen. The bats struggled the whole Dodgers series, and the opposing announcers still went viral talking about how fun it is to watch us play baseball. The whining about them being boring is nonsense. "actually the cubs are not boring in the slightest, and now i'm going to prove it by citing people i always go to for baseball insight: announcers"

i made a post saying the cubs are boring after they played another boring ass game, get over it jarvis
-
speaking of vrd (and in the spirit of making duke mad), the brewers are up to +58 as of this moment.
-
okay i'm not going to get into an argument about the cubs being good (i said is that they're boring, and they are boring a lot), but those teams are projected by fangraphs to win like 10 more games than the cubs right now. you can't just play the sequencing thing ahead of time like that. The AL sucks, so there’s more horsefeathers teams to beat on but yeah they’re all going to end up roughly where we do in the mid-high 90s. oh

Two days ago, they won on a walk-off. Yesterday they made like 5 highlight reel plays on defense and had the Dodgers announcers drooling on air, thinking about how fun they are to watch. the cubs are boring a lot. we talk about this a lot when they're being boring. stop being so defensive about it, damn
-
i don't know, probably because we have plenty enough talent to do what ny/bos/hou is doing, so our steady 90-95 win pace and see-saw battle with the brewers feels pretty lifeless but yeah, this team is boring as a horsefeathers a lot. definitely more than they should be. it's okay to say that. The sequencing may be annoying but I’d bet all 3 of those AL teams finish in the mid 90s range like we are on pace for. okay i'm not going to get into an argument about the cubs being good (i said is that they're boring, and they are boring a lot), but those teams are projected by fangraphs to win like 10 more games than the cubs right now. you can't just play the sequencing thing ahead of time like that.

Why is it so hard to enjoy this franchise's best 4-year stretch in a century? i don't know, probably because we have plenty enough talent to do what ny/bos/hou is doing, so our steady 90-95 win pace and see-saw battle with the brewers feels pretty lifeless but yeah, this team is boring as a horsefeathers a lot. definitely more than they should be. it's okay to say that.

team is boring as horsefeathers
-
haha willson's fist pump after the double play tricked the camera
-
well this is shaping up to be a painful day
-
How is this possibly embarrassing to anyone in any way. Check out Bruce Miles on Twitter. He agrees with me. i agree with mojo, so 2-2
-
haha remember when dodgers fans were mad about that
-
mendoza is only good in comparison to what is usually in the booth
-
Probably right before he's scheduled to face the Brewers. http://meme.vandorp.biz/fuuuuu.jpg
-
Yeah. That makes the BABIP even less sustainable - the fact that he's legged out 10 infield hits is frankly insane and will not continue. just keep it going for a few more months and he'll make a solid trade piece (while heyward moves to center)

horsefeathering brutal

easy peasy beautiful covergirl -
they want to confirm that it got out
-
You aren't kidding. He absolutely killed that ball and I fully expected it to be caught up against the wall. i thought it was a no doubter, then remembered it was heyward, then thought it was still getting out anyways, then remembered it was still heyward, and then waited to see

i'm still pretty sure that's going to die at the warning track
