  1. This is an extra innings loss with Berti batting 9th. Encouraging to see Horton and Shaw make significant contributions in a win even if it’s the Marlins.
  2. 1-1 in the 7th inning in the final game of a 3 game set. So typical.
  3. Until Brown develops a third pitch he’ll never be a quality starting pitcher. If you’re a hitter you either sit on a fastball or curve ad wait for him to throw you a hittable pitch. He throws nothing that moves horizontally off the plate so as a hitter it’s easy to lay off pitchers on the corners, At 6’7, it’s a lot easier to pick up the spin on a breaking pitch too when it starts at eye level due to his height and over the top delivery. Siitter, cutter, anything. He’ll spend his career in the pen until he develops at least another pitch.
  4. Kind amazing how the cubs are third in MLB in homeruns while having only 1 homer combined from the second and third baseman through 47 games and counting.
  5. He needs to change his grip so his change up is more than 1 mph slower than his fastball. It’s basically a fastball with a weird grip.
  6. Yep. It’s literally their core identity. Such pathetic f****. Hope they break their loss record from last year.
  7. They’re the worst. Their core identity as a fanbase is hating the Cubs and bragging about their big, tough, “Southside”roots from their keyboards in Orland Park, wearing their 59/50 Sox hat backwards with the tags still on.
  8. I get sick, sadistic pleasure In beating the Sox.
  9. How long until Counsel moves Kelly down in the lineup? Thank you for April, time to move down. With your long overdue regression to your career norm.
  10. Nicky Lopez is having a bad day. He’ll be joining Wisdom in Taiwan pretty soon.
  11. They’ve had 11 consecutive 3 game series with at least one game of 3 or less runs and 9/11 with 2>. Only 1 win and that was the home opener vs the Padres.
  12. Unfortunately the Cubs basically turn into the Whitesox on Sundays and the Cubs bats so far have remembered what day it is.
  13. I know Tucker is in a slump and he’ll break out of it eventually but that $600 million figure floating around is ridiculous. No one his paying him that.
  14. Japan, Korea, it’s bad when there’s guys playing in Africa who you could argue would be a better option at third base then anyone on the Cubs ML roster.
  15. Is that 20 base runners now? Only 6 runs. So frustrating.
  16. He plays a bit of 1st base too. Obviously the concern is where you’d put Bush and or put Suzuki in left DH Ballesteros move Hoerner and Dansby over and put Happ at 2B where he has experience which will be a net negative defensively, The net positive from the offense without Berti and Turner will more than compensate ideally. Plus, you have an awful bench and a guy ranking in Iowa, you want to find a way to use it to your advantage.
  17. Zero homeruns. 2 doubles and a 516 OPS on almost 200 ABs, -.8 WAR. I take issue with Turner still being on the ML roster because a 40 YO, soon to retire DH hitting below the Mendoza line is our best option? inexcusable to go into year 3 with a black hole at the hot corner. I just hope they keep Busch in the lineup vs lefties for now on. He’s your everyday 1st baseman and it’s time team him like one. It’s not like he’ll do any worse than Turner, he’ll be better even vs lefties.
  18. You’re putting Nico at shortstop. You have a guy raking in Iowa, try to find a spot for him with below replacement level production from the hot corner. At worst the net benefit is neutral. it was a question not a statement.
  19. Do you bring Ballesteros up and put Busch and 2B or 3B? This team needs to score runs to win and I’m sick of seeing these automatic outs like Berti and Turner in the everyday lineup.
  20. W This is also the worst bench I can remember. Busch Suzuki and Kelly were going to regress from their 900 OPS+ pace, not a surprise the scoring is down ever since Carson Kelly remembered he’s Carson Kelly and not babe Ruth. third base, rotation and pen are trending as expected. 88 wins it is, although it’s still the cubs we’re talking about l.
  21. Tucker is playing himself into affordability at least.
  22. 4 runs over the Last 33.5 innings on Sundays. 0-3 despite the pitching staff only allowing 10 total runs. this is ridiculous.
