Not heartbreaking, annoying as horsefeathers. Assad missing strike 3 to Dingler by a centimeter, Nicos botched double play, Bregman swinging at ball 4 to walk us off…. Pick your favorite play,
There’s no margin for error with a pitching staff allowing 4 or more runs in 57% of games. We’re sitting here ruminating over some horrific at bats in the 9th inning because they needed 6 runs to win.
Most frustrating loss since????
Holding onto him as a corner outfielder or utility guy? He’s blocked from the infield until 2030. Yes, one of our trio of young infielders will be moved depending on the caliber of pitcher they trade for. And for the record I love a great bench. They don’t win in 2016 without one. The vision isn’t entirely clear no matter how matter how easy it is to speculate.
I can’t too excited over small sample sizes, and the fact that he’ll likely be traded, but he’s handling ML pitching much better in his first stint than Shaw/Mo/PCA/whoever in his limited at bats. The lack of reps on the bench is atypical for how the Cubs handle their young talent but at least the bench is better.
Sure. I think Pedro’s vulnerable to whiffing on high heat. is that correct?, Arreaz is a throwback from the pre analytics era and I enjoy it to be honest.
I wonder what the catch probability on that was. There’s tons of dumb fucks who think that’s an easy play to make because he didn’t have to dive for it..
