  1. We can strike back and hire Derek Johnson as Manager
  2. I remember that one day when Betts declared that he wanted to go by his birth name henceforth
  3. Really hope it's the injuries that sapped his strength because his statcast data is very Almora-ish. And he needs to be more selective at the plate, which is to be expected, but concerning nonetheless. That elite hit tool could be diminished by putting a lot of balls in play that should have been left alone.
  4. That's what I said last month. Theres just no justifying paying his salary for what he's given us lately. I don't want to say hes done but he should be making less than half of his current cap hit.
  5. Can that happen more often please
  6. Am I alone in thinking Counsell would manage this Cubs team to 95-100 wins? The Brewers started Almora and Russell equivalents all season, one of them at lead off. They had like 2 or 3 remarkable pitchers and then he just rotated the other parts in and out effectively, many times pulling starters after 3 or 4 innings. The defensive positioning is spot-on. They reduced most of our big bats to ash. It's absolutely insane that they have that awful of a RD and are still gonna get into the playoffs.
  7. I mean, they were playing the Cardinals. I think that's all he meant.
  8. Theres only room for one raisin round these parts.
  9. Big Ben needs TJS or something. Out for the season.
  10. Both his Dongs so far are Dongs in Wrigley unless there’s extreme wind conditions coming in and Dongs in pretty much every park in MLB. Statcast had one HR at 96MPH and one at 100+, 388 (left field well) and 411 feet (LCF). He definitely seems to have 20HR+ potential, since they tweaked his swing and he’s over the wrist/hand injury especially in the juiced ball environment. Definitely needs to get stronger. So far he has an 85 EV and just a 4 LA. Kinda Almora-ish.
  11. I took the losses much harder in April than I have in September for sure
  12. Where did Flaherty rank?
  13. It did suck that we didn't jump on Chapman right when the Reds shopped him but the team was trying to pretend they would avoid scandalous players. I mean it was a pretty hot topic with most Cubs fans I know insisting he wouldnt be worth the headache. Certainly cost us massively though. Although I have questions about our ability to develop hitters once they reach the Majors and I really dont know if we get this version of Torres TBH. I never saw his power ceiling as anything that exciting.
  14. I can’t find a site that shows records “when trailing after __” but we have to have an abysmal record when trailing after 5,6,7 innings in comparison to previous years (yes, I know most means will have a bad record when trailing in the late innings). I could be wrong, but it seems impossible that we have more than 2 or 3 wins when we fall behind in games even through 4 or 5 innings. I'll regret enabling you but... https://www.baseball-reference.com/play-index/inning_summary.cgi?request=1&year=2019&team_id=CHC A .132 winning percentage when trailing after 5. The NL is .187. The Cardinals are .259. 2018 Cubs were .250. Excuse me
  15. When you're fighting for your playoff life and start Tony horsefeathering Kemp... and have him leadoff... just LMFAO to death
  16. It does look like it cuts a little bit, no?
  17. That was a nasty one. Thanks for posting that.
  18. I didn't watch but game day said this dude was throwing 94 mph sliders. Can anyone confirm?
  19. Rofl Browns and Baker. Was getting so sick of their fans already.
  20. My boss had Watkins on the bench
  21. Teams are certainly gonna be wary as the production dropped off a cliff with the knee injury. I'm curious if he needs minor surgery.
  22. I want the FO to have such a sour taste in their mouths after this one. Go ahead and win it all, Cardinals.
