    horsefeathers Jacob Webb. Thanks a lot.
  2. Geographyhater8888
    At least make the Whitesox vs Astros/Rangers game the 9 pm slot. No one cares about those teams.
  3. Geographyhater8888
    Brilliant. Start a game at 10 pm EST and broadcast it on peacock while you’re at it so absolutely no one who isn’t a Cubs or Padres fan that can find a streaming platform watches.
  4. Geographyhater8888
    That confirms that he’s not soft. What a relief.
  5. Geographyhater8888
    I’d much rather play Atlanta. Not only because of the matchup but I don’t like 9 pm start times.

    For me: PCA 2026 Sosa 2001 Arrietta 2015 Lee 2005 Javy 2018 Bryant 2016 (He was great but lots of stat padding). Prior in 2003 is massively underrated

    Philly is beatable. AJ Brown is huge loss. He was their most important skill player, not Barkley. They beat 2 ****** teams by a combined 6 points. What am I missing with this Eagles hype?
  8. Geographyhater8888
    Jayden Daniels was taken out on a stretcher for an elbow injury, Aaron Rodgers taken off the field on a stretcher in week 1 of 2018 and came back at halftime to kick us all in the nuts. I get rival fans jabbing the Bears starting quarterback but to unironically question the toughness of an Ironman who played all 17 games after taking 68 sacks as a rookie is nonsense.

    Bagent will dog walk that Philly defense. I’m going 21/29, 167 yards, 1 touchdown, 1 interception, 3 sacks for -17 yards, 3 rushes for 14 yards and 1 touchdown. 3.9 ANY/A, a 71 qbr, and a 99 PFF grade.

    I never said that the Cubs can’t develop farm talent, I think the Brewers have earned the benefit of the doubt at this point. They’re like a tumor that can’t be removed because it’s too close to a major artery. I’d also like to keep the payrol advantage.
  11. Geographyhater8888
    It’s a pull heavy lineup full of guys with 20-25 home run power. Not a ton of diversity, and Nico’s struggles are killing them as the teams lone bat ball skills guy, who’s impervious to the elements. Great lineup, lots of warning track power that struggles to manufacture runs in bad conditions or when the wind blows in, which is compounded by a bad slump.
  12. Geographyhater8888
    The thing about high leverage relief is that you need your teammates to step up and score between 1-3 more runs than your opponent for a save opportunity. Then you’d have to assume that a replacement level closer would blow every save opportunity. Distributing 1000 total war over the course of 30 teams in a season requires balancing run value. Is 3 outs with a full win? He seems to think so. Do we just cut off a couple solo homers in the bottom of the 8th inning for insurance runs to extend the lead from 2-1 to 4-1 and subtract their run value, because those runs didn’t ultimately matter? He seems to think war should he handed out like Halloween candy
  13. Geographyhater8888
    You’d have to think Cleveland is doing something similar and maybe Tampa. We also don’t want the Cubs to operate like that and circumvent talent with a philosophy that works in the regular season but not the postseason, outside of their pitching infrastructure. But their farm is loaded so it’s not like there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. And if there’s a hard cap and floor, the Cubs competitive advantage will close even more.
  14. Geographyhater8888
    Yeah. The Rays don’t do this. They’ll have a 3-5 year stretch of 90+ wins and they’ll have a couple years of retooling and finishing under 500. Cleveland has only won 90+ games twice this decade. Since 2018, Milwaukee has won 96, 89, COVID, 95, 86, 92, 93, 97, 101+. It wouldn’t be annoying if the Cubs were a perennial disgrace like the pre Ricketts Cubs, but 10 winning seasons in 12 years, 5 90+ win seasons and only 2 division championships. Brewers are a way bigger thorn than the Cardinals ever were based on the Cubs consistent success.
  15. Geographyhater8888
    7.7-2.6 average score in their 34 second half wins. 3-1-5.7 average score in their 31 second half losses. Season total is an average score of 7.2-2.9 in wins and 2.9-6.1 in losses. fourth year in a row they’ll underperform their expected win total by 4+ games based on run differential. They’ve also underperformed by combined 9 wins based on team fWAR since 2023. -3 this year, and were at -6 in 2023. What is it with this roster construction that causes this imbalance?
  16. Geographyhater8888
    Willy Mo-Pena?
  17. Geographyhater8888
    The Redsox offered to play 3 home games at Wrigley. They couldn’t give a horsefeathers less who wins.
  18. Geographyhater8888
    It’s alright. The team of freak injuries and horrific losses will snap out of this as soon as the playoffs start. It’s been a season of enchantment and good fortune
  19. Geographyhater8888
    It’s baseball, positive variance, these balls won’t find gloves forever….. Have you been paying attention to the team of freak injuries galore? They absolutely will never be on the good side of this “variance” thing in the playoffs. They’re cursed. If they start hitting then the pitching staff will suck again.
  20. Geographyhater8888
    Who cares at this point. They blew a 5 game lead in the NL wild card. If they need home field advantage for an edge against tough but beatable Braves or padres teams then they have no shot against the dodgers or Brewers. Who the horsefeathers would consider losing to Milwaukee in the LDS again a successful season anyways.
  21. Geographyhater8888
    Way to show up against their B team guys.
  22. Geographyhater8888
    He sucks. At what point does platooning stop working when you have a lefty who can’t get anyone out regardless of handedness?
  23. Geographyhater8888
    Hopefully the entire team eats contaminated lettuce in the team cafeteria and gets explosive diarrhea just in time for Tuesday.
  24. Geographyhater8888
    What are the odds that the Cubs come back to win here? I’m setting them at 15:1?
  25. Geographyhater8888
    That’s pretty much the game.
