  1. I do take Nico for granted sometimes. Guy just puts up 4 win seasons consistently
  2. I mean if the medical staff caught it in June, I don't know that they're to blame. I know it can be frustrating to watch, but I will say that in terms building player relationships and having a good reputation around the league for stuff like that, when contemplating putting an everyday player on the IL (to say nothing of a player of Tucker's caliber), clearly there's more to it than a team just saying "You're going on the IL. The end."
  3. Suarez has a .454 *OPS* with the Mariners. Not trading for him saved the season
  4. I know it's become common to sarcastically reference only after losses, but the playoff odds are still quite good!
  5. Good game. Wrigley made that closer than it deserved to be.
  6. Statcast also wasn't prepared for that one. Didn't even register.
  7. That Happ double was pulled at 105 mph, 23 degrees. Kind of ridiculous that it stayed in to begin with
  8. The aggressive sends that work tend to go unnoticed
  9. I do feel like it's worth mentioning that since opening day, the Cubs have the second best record in baseball.
  10. I can't believe umpires reward Contreras as much as they do. The glove moves so much when he's framing.
  11. Seiya had a baserunning mishap earlier but that was a thing of beauty. Great job
  12. I'm guessing he'll go back out there to at least face Bellinger but a REALLY good outing by Shota. I know results haven't been an issue but this felt more like the 2024 version of him.
  13. I think Stanton's homerun is now the 4th longest fly ball and 9th hardest hit ball of the game so far
  14. The situation did not call for a walk with a 5 run lead
  15. Lol if Boone is gonna have that reaction, he can't wait for confirmation from the clubhouse to challenge
  16. Would be nice if the strike zone could even out a bit. Swing would have been different on 0-2
  17. PCA and Happ both with pulled 110 mph foul balls. The lefties will get to him eventually
  18. The bullpen was well rested, there's an off day Monday. and Boyd goes tomorrow. And Wicks with the wind blowing out....well, I'd personally probably take the over on 3 Cardinals' runs thru 7 had he started.
  19. Coming into this game, Wicks has given up more runs in 2 MLB innings than Pomeranz + Flexen have in over 50 innings. Take a breath guys. And he's probably going to pitch anyway
