It’s May of 2024 all over again.
-
The last time either Boyd or Shota won a start was that 10-3 win on July 30th at Milwaukee. They’ve pitched so winnable winnable games too.
-
Maybe I got bad information. Won’t make a horsefeathers of a difference anyways.
-
It had to have been the Ballestaros rbi double on Milwaukee the day after Sandberg passed. I’m drawing a blank after that.
-
I was hoping for a balk and a wild pitch. One of these days/months we’ll get an actual hit with bases loaded.
-
Cubs trying to do something for the first time since Ozzy, Hulk and Rune Sandberg were alive.
-
July 2nd vs Cleveland.
-
Wind is blowing out for the first time since they’ve been in second place and can’t even lift one to the warning track. Fcking embarrassing.
-
Could that be because he bats lower in the order with lefties on the mound, who he struggles against?
-
That’s my theory on why they won in 2016. They had one of the deepest benches in MLB history and a young core that could withstand the elements.
-
Paying him into his age 41 season would be interesting but definitely in the $400-$450 range. I’d expect deferrals too. The question is if there’s a silver lining here where he might actually sign at a price Tom can stomach if this trend continues. Of course he could use it as an excuse not to pay him too. It’s hard to believe one of the games top sluggers forgot how to slug without either a lingering injury or perhaps the lack of protection he had with Alvarez and Bregman? Even then it doesn’t completely add up. His bat speed has also dipped too. He’s tied with Swanson for 18 homers.
-
He’s also 2 years older than Vlad which will definitely affect his price tag. I can’t think of an example off of the top of my head where a player has this level of regression in a contract year who’s projected as the highest paid free agent. Corey Seager comes to mind but it was mostly injury related and not performance. He needs to figure it out otherwise this team is toast.
-
I agree with that. It’s a forgivable mistake when you look at the aggregate of 2025. Same with blaming Counsell for the offensive woes because he doesn’t get tossed from games like Lou. There’s only so much he can do.
-
His agent has conned tons of baseball fans if so.
-
Some people don’t have the mental toughness to be Cubs fans. This current core isn’t a seasonal playoff contender exactly and they’ve had month long implosions each of the last 3 seasons. Everything will be fine isn’t a mentality most have developed as cubs fans.
-
It’ll definitely be a Correa deal if teams are hesitant to pay him with the way he’s performing thus far. He has a much larger body of work than Bellinger. I think he’ll still get $300 million but that $600 million nonsense was never going to happen. I don’t know where got this idea that he’s a star on the level of Soto Judge or Ohtani.
-
Is this team much different than the 23 or 24 teams? Just swap August and May and the team isn’t much different. Instead of the 150 wRC+ Kyle Tucker we traded for we got a souped up Cody Bellinger who can’t carry a slumping lineup.
-
Cubs were a combined 36-17 in August of 23-24 and 20-36 in May. The Cubs have basically swapped May and August. He’s got the right idea, the Cubs have a habit of imploding for month long stretches but chooses to die on the wrong hill on this one.
-
The pirates were capable of hitting a fly ball to the warning track with the wind blowing out unlike the Cubs. My enthusiasm is 30% of what it was a few weeks ago. This team is boring and mentally soft.
-
It’ll come down to the second to last series of the season vs the Mets for the final wild card spot with the Reds a few games up in the wild card standings after taking 3/4 right before the Mets series, games 156-159.
-
I like the base running outs though. It’s a novel way to lose games instead of these dime of dozen stranding 10 baserunners in scoring position.
-
Pathetic. Just fcking awful.
-
This team has no horsefeathers bottom.
-
Im waiting for the game tying homer to get knocked down by a seagull and ruled a dead ball.
-
There’s no way the cubs can back down a run a third time today.
