Holy horsefeathering horsefeathers dude lmao you finally responded to the game thread rage because this post actually scares you
-
I dont get the "hes a number 5 starter so it's not a big deal" thing. #5 starters dont typically get paid what he got, and to makes that argument, you have to actually have a 1-4 pitching like a 1-4

I mean it's too early to say that's what's happening, but it easily could be. We invested a massive amount of resources in darvish/quintana/chatwood and they're completely broken walk machines. Yeah the stuff is fine or whatever, but I don't know how you can not be terrified by what they're doing, and by what ot means for the organization going forward if they dont turn it around in a big way. The only one we really invested big-time into at this point is Yu. Eloy still has to become a stud for us to really have invested anything into Q, and Chatwood is on a three-year contract that will be over in a blink of an eye, while really only making No. 4 or No. 5 starter money any way and performing like a No. 4 or No. 5. Yu for sure has to pick it up. Can't be tanking in the first year of a six-year, $126 million contract. Having two of those guys with Heyward and Yu would suck even for a big market team. no. eloy was going to be traded for some pitcher. we chose Quintana. it doesn't matter if eloy ends up sucking. also chatwood's money is not insignificant, especially with Heyward on the books.

Because it's been a month and we're not r_mack. a month of them pitching like this is plenty of reason to be very concerned. It's not like they're just pitching poorly. they're complete wrecks. also we invested in darvish and quintana to be good right now. the cardinals have a legitimately good team. they're about to pass us on projected wins. we haven't been super cubs for q couple years, and we no longer have the luxury to dick around for months.

Watching sane posters get crushed under the weight of negativity is interesting. Not criticizing you right now or singling you out.

Yeah, that game was just awful. I know there has been a lot of boring baseball this year, but this game was by far the worst. Horrible offense, defense, and pitching. Even when we've been in funks before, it seems like one of the three was there. There was no redeeming quality to that game. Garbage. i thought he was making a joke about the lack of a themed thread cubs do suck though
-
so much disappointment from this team

Serious? yeah it was awesome

i didn't know barry larkin was so bad -
it was nice being ahead of the VBs for a couple days

russell is so horsefeathering bad
-
half the lineup tonight has a combined sub-.700 ops, you know what i'm saying No I don't because there are better ways to determine offensive value than OPS. For example, wRC+. I even left the snapshot of the numbers up there in my response. Honest question, are people completely unaware of Jon Gray being an ace that happens to pitch in Coors? We smoked him once and he's gotten us thus far tonight. It horsefeathering happens. oh god
-
They have a lot of bad hitters *today* Oooooh ok. I was going to say even if you expand it to all non pitchers on the roster right now only 4 of 12 are under 100. But now that we got that cleared up I won't even bother mentioning it. half the lineup tonight has a combined sub-.700 ops, you know what i'm saying

the cubs have a lot of bad hitters

i love wacky lineups when the offense is slumping
