    My expectations were so low already after last week. Today was confirmation that we are several seasons from being a good team. This horsefeathers sucks.
  2. We Got The Whole 9
    Nothing left to say.
  3. We Got The Whole 9
    Stephenson horsefeathers sucks. Evans is laughing at this guy.
  4. We Got The Whole 9
    Wow @ that Elijah Hicks attempted tackle
  5. We Got The Whole 9
    If you don't have the wherewithal to not hit the QB there you shouldn't be playing NFL football
  6. We Got The Whole 9
    I don't think I want them to. Good kick by Santos though
  7. We Got The Whole 9
    No horsefeathers clock in that dudes head. It's inexcusable.
  8. We Got The Whole 9
    Of course a horsefeathers screen
  9. We Got The Whole 9
    Stephenson should probably have sat back and just made the tackle
  10. We Got The Whole 9
    If it's not there in 2 seconds, step out of the box and friggin throw it away Justin
  11. We Got The Whole 9
    It's true. We have faced a lot of JAG over the last several weeks and have done minimal damage against them. The Cubs offense completely fading down the stretch is an old and tired trend. Something has to give.
  12. We Got The Whole 9
    I'm both surprised by this, notably for Edmunds, and dubious of whether they can continue it going forward.
  13. We Got The Whole 9
    Pretty sure we are getting a spot but I am not so confident it will be any different from that last time we did. Our bats just look tired lately, really slow to adjust. We're not even facing good pitching and they're struggling.
  14. We Got The Whole 9
    I would say 0. Even Edmunds is just a rangy athlete with cover skills and probably slightly above average but just decent overall. We will know in a couple of years the quality of the draft but I definitely didn't love it.
  15. We Got The Whole 9
    What kind of controlled starter can we expect in return for a 1 win player?
  16. We Got The Whole 9
    How many playoff caliber starters have we faced over the last month and change since the offense died? Maybe 5? Teams are just kitchen sinking us and we can't do horsefeathers. Can't even score 6 runs in Coors with the worst pitching in the league. Humiliating.
  17. We Got The Whole 9
    horsefeathers, that hurts. Poles has been bad so far. I pounded the table for a haul of picks, including 2 firsts, so I have to knock him a bit on that trade for taking Moore back instead. It doesn't feel like any of his picks have elite potential. He landed some solid starters - and not just in the sense that they are only good enough to start for the Bears - but overall they are extremely thin and he has refused to sign anyone significant in FA. We're a few years away from being a legit team.
  18. We Got The Whole 9
    I always felt that the offense came to a halt in the series vs the Mets and now looking at the numbers since, we have hit 244/308/413/95, which is 20th in MLB. During that time, our barrel rate is 27th at 6.2, hard% 22nd at 37.7. Basically no better than average in any important category. It's rough because the rotation has really been stellar for the last couple of weeks and we have relinquished a few pretty easy opportunities to make up ground. I'm not even concerned with winning the division; I think that ship has sailed. I really want them to clinch the top WC spot.
  19. We Got The Whole 9
    Really that play was spectacular. If the Cubs caught another team's fastest runner that way we'd be effusive with praise, even if it took a fair bit of serendipity to take place.
  20. We Got The Whole 9
    It's pretty clear what they see in him. It's not common for a guy to have velo from that arm slot and funky delivery and he is really hard to square up and gets a lot of weak contact. But too often the control is awful. 12 BB and 3 HBP in just 16 IP as a Cub is atrocious. The bottom is sure to drop out if he doesn't get that reined in. His control was not so awful in KC and he was getting significantly more chases and whiffs. Feels like the Cubs pixie dust really isn't working on him yet.
  21. We Got The Whole 9
    Loved this comment: "I'd give him a shot next year but he wouldn't take it."
  22. We Got The Whole 9
    Seiya got some FG love
  23. We Got The Whole 9
    So what do we make of Wicks' 6 K's in 17.2 IP since his debut? Good thing he's keeping the ball in the yard and getting GBs. To me it looks like hitters are differentiating his pitches quickly and the tunneling isn't right yet. But then again, his Oswing - pardon the SSS - is 38%, the league average is 28, and Strider is the league leader at 37.
  24. We Got The Whole 9
    That game was excruciating. I am so glad to look so foolish.
  25. We Got The Whole 9
    They have been getting a major helping of sinkers lately and they have a voracious appetite to swing. This is a loss. Call me a ninny all you want. The offense is just a freaking mess right now.
