    When they’re good and we suck they destroy us. When we’re good we’re lucky to sweep them in any given year. Outside of 2015 and 16 they’ve always been a nuisance. Marty brennamans rant added another layer of salt. I could be off base but that’s what this rivalry feels like. It’s also mandatory that they have at least 1 Cub killer in their lineup like Austin Kearns, Votto, Suarez, Any of the Valentin brothers. Etc I’m still pissed about 2004 as well.

    Better problem to have than choosing the less stinky sh!t end of the Berti/Brujan stick as the starting third baseman. I think we’ll see him split some time with Mo at DH more frequently.
  3. Geographyhater8888
    The trade off is we might see career scrub/Cub killer Randal Grichuk in a couple weeks in a Whitesox uniform, a career 761 OPS with a 961 vs Cubs pitching in 200 PAs.

    The third base and bench alone is worth 1.5 more wins than at the 35 game mark a year ago. This is a completely different offense with Suzuki too. It’s just so frustrating how streaky he is because when he’s on he’ll carry an offense.
  5. Geographyhater8888
    That’s odd. The pull% for 2025 is the exact same on Fangraphs but for 2025 it’s at 46.8%.
  6. Geographyhater8888
    Fangraphs has his pull rate 9% lower and his GB% over 9% higher than 2025. It’s like he’s playing with an injury.
  7. Geographyhater8888
    Why is Busch struggling to pull the ball so much?
  8. Geographyhater8888
    I hate the Reds.
  9. Geographyhater8888
    Cabreras velocity and Ks/9 especially are all down from his career averages.
  10. Geographyhater8888
    horsefeathers the Reds.
  11. Geographyhater8888
    On a consecutive game basis the offense this season is averaging +\- 3.4 runs/game in any 2 game splits at the 34 game mark. Last season they were +\-5 run average during the 34 game mark. Much less volatile even after adjusting for the difference in runs scored.
  12. Geographyhater8888
    Isn’t he playing with a toe injury?
  13. Geographyhater8888
    I wish he’d keep the Whitesox and sell the Bulls instead.
  14. Geographyhater8888
    Please don’t waste more baserunners.
  15. Geographyhater8888
    The Cubs traded Cassie with 2 aging corner outfielders in favor of Moses who doesn’t even have a position and it’s looking more and more obvious why.
  16. Geographyhater8888
    I get chills when I hear his signature “BUH BYE” home run call. He’s the best.
  17. Geographyhater8888
    Cubs haven’t swept the diamondbacks since 2015, the longest they’ve gone without a sweep against any national league team.
  18. Geographyhater8888
    The run defense between the numbers is my biggest worry. I think they brought in enough speed with better man coverage to to execute some of those exotic blitzes against better offenses, which will help with the pass rush. None of this is ideal but if the offense does their part hopefully mediocre is sufficient.
  19. Geographyhater8888
    The defense was by no means a good unit but the first half of the season they were down to their 4th and 5th string cornerbacks and linebackers. Thanks to injuries McCarthy had the 4th quarter of life, Jeanty had his best game as a pro, they couldn’t stop Tyler Huntley and were gashed by a mediocre giants offense. The team we watched from week 10-18 that was 7th in DVOA is a more accurate representation of what this team as close to perfect health. Also thanks to familiarity in the offense and Loveland and Burden taking more snaps.
  20. Geographyhater8888
    Only the Pirates worry me and the Brewers are always a pain in the ass.
  21. Geographyhater8888
    Ben Brown finally looks like a major league pitcher. Forget about just his sinker but he painted the corner a couple times with his change up and is throwing all 4 pitches for strikes. Credit to Counsell for waving the white flag in enough games to keep the bullpen arms fresh too. No reason to try and finish 162-0. He did the right thing making Assad eat up innings in blowout losses to the Phillies and Dodgers. Last but not least, DFA Happ.
  22. Geographyhater8888
    Finally a constructive fly out.
  23. Geographyhater8888
    Happ with the effective cycle.
  24. Geographyhater8888
    Brown threw 4 changeups that inning.
  25. Geographyhater8888
    Time for Mo break out of that 0-17 streak.
