  1. Heck of a time for what seems like Webb's only 2 quality innings of the season.
  2. The Cubs position players are quite good!
  3. 104 off the bat at 25 degrees to left center somehow for an out
  4. Wait, this guy throws 98? I'm intrigued. Topped out at 98.9??
  5. Him leaving (the clubhouse is thru the LF wall), and without a trainer is odd. Maybe ill, or is Breslow still in the mood for big changes?
  6. Down 4 vs tie game is not the same. That said, I'm very open to a "showing confidence in Pete" argument for a game in April. But we also actually have a good bench now.
  7. That's not an AB Pete should've been allowed to take. Even if matchups later require Suzuki or Conforto in CF, gotta chase runs here
  8. That was a baserunning clinic by Miguel Amaya of all people
  9. Joe Davis is quite good but oh my god can Smoltz please just shut up
  10. I love Seiya. I'll be a little sad if he leaves. He goes through his stretches and his all around game can be iffy at times but he's such a damm good hitter
  11. Dansby's first strike the inning before was basically as bad. Some jarring misses for a game in 2026.
  12. Pitchers with Brown's strikeout to walk numbers tend to end up being good
  13. We're really doing Seiya concern, 10 games in with his track record?
  14. Obviously a bit erratic but Martin's stuff looked great
  15. Nico would've been given 2nd base; they would not have thrown through. As has been stated, Kimbrel isnt a GB guy anyway. In that situation, the decision for Mendoza should've been to chase a strikeout which is more likely with Busch than Hoerner (split slashlines mean less when you dont need to reach base). Then choose whether to pitch to Bregman or I assume Amaya after him.
  16. That's managerial malpractice pitching to Nico in that spot
  17. Extending the losing streak on a blown save would provide some good content
  18. Not having access to team facilities from Dec to at least March next year probably isn't ideal either. If that's how that works.
  19. Great takes by Happ and Seiya. Also some serious respect for Ballesteros by Mendoza taking out his best pitcher knowing it was then going to be lefty v righty. Glad he was wrong!
