  1. Abreu has tied Ian Happ's Cubs lead for HR in 3 games
  2. Much better result than the walk we was really trying to give you, Tony
  3. He is all over the place. Don't get yourselves out.
  4. We draw some walks and slug some HR but this team can't horsefeathering hit. And Abreu hits the hat trick. This series has been depressing.
  5. Well at least the Ks weren't swinging... or something.
  6. Our guys salivate at that changeup or the sinker on the outer half. We like to make sure the SS stay sharp! I really feel like we lead the league in roll-over grounders.
  7. The Cubs are the only team in baseball with an oppo rate under 20 and they are actually at 18.7 so the gap is pretty large. They have the 4th highest GB rate. So in the shiftiest days ever we just hit it where they are... over and over and over.
  8. Nico rocking the 40% iffb this month to go with a stellar 55% gb rate
  9. We suck ass against LHP though It would sure be nice if Rizzo got back to his vintage form against them, as well as Baez. It used to be a strength of ours to hit LHP.
  10. Lester obviously gets lit up a few times a season even when things are going well. Hopefully he can recover into something passable because right now it’s a fierce battle between him and Mills for whose rotation spot Quintana gets. Oh yeah and Chatwood gave up like 10 runs in his last start too. Edit: ok that was hyperbole, obviously Mills is out of the rotation well before Lester. But still Sure he gets lit up sometimes but 4 bombs and a shot off the CF wall in 4 innings? Usually when he has a line like this it's with 5 seeing eye singles in between the rockets at least. Quick breeze through his game logs and this was his first time allowing 4 HR in a game in a Cubs uniform.
  11. This is the worst start I've seen from a starter in quite some time.
  12. I feel like we rarely come out and take it to these guys the way they do to us This match up had blowout written all over it though
  13. not being a completely insane spaz about individual baseball games isn't a gimmick i admit I'm a game thread spaz but that wasnt it at all. imb isnt a game thread spaz but he probably remembers what I'm talking about. I just think its funny to suggest that he left because of morals when that's not at all what happened. he quit after 2018 because he dug into his "cubs are gods and the brewers cant possibly beat us" shtick too hard and then didnt want to deal with it after they lost. like I fully admit my part and being a child, but he left because he was mad about the brewers stuff, it was obvious. It's not even neccesarily an insult, he had plenty of reason to be annoyed. I pretty much agree with this. If the Cubs dynasty had unfolded like we all had hoped then Duke would have looked past the shitty people in the organization IMO. 2018 probably put a lot of the fizzling fire out.
  14. I would absolutely kick the tires on Alford. There are major contact issues but as you said we are talking about 75 PA. His plate discipline is all over the place and it makes me think he's never found a comfortable MLB approach, although the sample is too small to make real judgments on. He could need the proverbial change of scenery.
  15. The balk was obviously bad but Iglesias also fucked up a tailor-made double play when he tried to field Molina's bases loaded grounder heading right to the SS. That would have been an extremely hard loss to swallow as a fan. Of course Brad Killer had to start the rally as well.
  16. So the Reds are gonna support his moment of enlightenment and road to rehabilitation huh
  17. A while back one of my managers was playing an 80s playlist over our store system before we opened in the morning. I had never heard the unedited version before, but Dire Straits - Money For Nothing, came on and I was floored when I heard that word plain as day in one of the lyrics. This feels like another victory as a Cubs fan tonight. That horsefeathering guy sucks.
  18. Ryan Tepera currently has the lowest contact% among RP in the league. Only 9 IP but something worth watching. We have drastically altered his pitch mix by majorly reducing the 4 seam usage and upping the cutters and sliders. It could be that the league hasn't yet caught onto this and obviously the sample is far too small to put a ton of stock into. But I think there's a pretty clear intent there.
  19. And right on time Schwarber sees a fast ball dead center of the plate on a 3-1 count and watches it. Edit: and then he homers on 3-2 lmao Yeah i was beside myself when he took that absolute cookie on 3-1 lol
