It's time to let 2016 go, it was great and happened and last year was fine with the World Series hangover excuse but what's the excuse now? The fact that you think a 92 wins is something that requires an excuse is proof that you're either trolling or outrageously entitled.
-
And it's not because he's walking the world either. Like I've just come to accept that he has a few weeks every summer where he loses the strike zone, but yeah this is just weird.
-
I know he's doing a star wars bit but even keeping that in mind Bob Rohrman is in pretty rough shape.
-
VROOM VROOM!
-
The team that absolutely destroyed us in the NLCS last year? Weak attempt. 3/10 at best. You're better than this.
-
Has there been an update on the juiced ball? Because I feel like Rizzo's ball would have been easily out last year.
-
Who are the beat reporters supposed to ask that question to? The most in-the-know people on that front are in the dugout. Texting with the FO? I feel like in a situation like this we generally have an answer within an inning or so, no?
-
Where are the beat writers to confirm that Yu's early pull was planned? I saw Sharma had flight issues, but all the others are silent right now too.
-
HAHAHAHAHAHA
-
Statcast says it was kind of a trash dong too. 94 MPH and only a hit 11% of the time. The ball must really carry at this park.
-
Maybe that tumble will fix Jim Wolf's eyesight
-
Wowsa what a rocket from Willson. 108 MPH

I wonder if this knocks him out of the Hall. Barring a Pujolsian collapse he was getting in, but now I could see him languishing in Sosa/McGwire territory.
-
I don't think he's quite there yet but I wonder if as Lester's skills diminish more the right play might be to up his curve usage to like 30+ percent
-
I think it's more that Bryant and Rizzo and Contreras were all cold at the same time
-
What an incredible sequence.

https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/CHC/chicago-cubs-salaries-and-contracts.shtml FA's by year post-2018: Wilson 2019: Strop, Zobrist, Cishek, Smyly, Duensing 2020: Hendricks, La Stella, Morrow, Quintana, Chatwood, outside chance of Lester's option being declined 2021: Lester(if not the year before), Rizzo, Bryant, Russell, Baez, Schwarber, Montgomery 2022: Contreras, Edwards, Almora 2032: Harper
-
It's just too bad that all these stats are going to be wiped away because the game started 6 minutes late
-
Bryant currently has the 3rd best wRC+ in baseball after Trout and Betts Not a superstar
-
That's Rizzo's first walk in like three weeks. I wouldn't be shocked if he fits three weeks worth of walks into this weekend.
-
Wow! What a dong!
-
I love how Zobrist is such a dad that he can never quite master the "Hey look I got a hit" hand signal du jour

White Sox starters this year are walking 11.7% of guys and striking out 14.3%. As a point of comparison, Anthony Rizzo the past three years is at 11.2% and 14.8%. This series is going to do for our guys' plate discipline numbers what the Marlins series did for their power numbers.
