    It has been a disappointing season in many ways - injures for sure tops the list, but their heart of the lineup can’t move runners, and their record speaks to them having the worst record in MLB since May 9th the last I saw. Obviously all the fans are frustrated with how this season is progressing. Personally, I think they’re definitely playing like a bad baseball team over the last 5-6 weeks. again, that doesn’t mean they will stay this way (I certainly hope not), but I’m just speaking to their current status.

    Cabrera starts getting dinged and looks like straight horsefeathers - oh, I’m injured. 🤕 🥴🧐
  3. Papa Cub
    Aside from the injuries - this is just a bad baseball team
  4. Papa Cub
    Haha
  5. Papa Cub

  6. Papa Cub
    So it begins
  7. Papa Cub
    Yeah - was a bit over eager that AB….

    Is it me, or does Suzuki get more backwards Ks than any other player in the league? Obviously, I watch a hell of a lot more cub games than other MLB teams, but he strikes out at least once a game It seems by just staring at one that’s close to the zone.

    Holy hell is he on fire 🔥
  10. Papa Cub
    Well said - good and fair points

    I’m definitely not disputing that pitchers didn’t get injured or experience burn out years ago - I’m simply saying that the training or conditioning is lacking if you’re having this high of a rate of pitching injuries. It’s like every time you turn around another pitcher is on the shelf - it’s crazy
  12. Papa Cub
    Hey Jason - I’m not disagreeing with what you’re saying. Today’s pitchers focus a ton more on velocity and spin rate, so naturally it’s going to affect the ligaments at a higher rate. I guess a better question would be this: What training regimen did they use 20-30+ years ago that allowed pitchers to pitch every THIRD day as opposed to 5-6th day? Why were the injuries significantly lower then as compared to pitchers now? Nolan Ryan and Randy Johnson are outliers perhaps, but there were others with 92-96mph velo and “high spins” as well, yet they maintained (key word) a much heavier workload and did it for longevity. 🤷‍♂️ - maybe training staffs should take a page from that generation?

    So…..when do people start looking into the Cubs’ pitching or training staff? The amount of injuries and guys on the IL (particularly all the pitchers) is not only ridiculous, but concerning. What a cluster horsefeathers
  14. Papa Cub
    This team sucks - goodnight 💤
  15. Papa Cub
    Who didn’t see this horsefeathers coming
  16. Papa Cub
    Idc who gets the W - just get one ☝️ 😆
  17. Papa Cub
    At what point does Nico shift to SS and Ramirez or Shaw take over 2nd? Swanson is like a pitcher hitting
  18. Papa Cub
    No - I saw what you saw too. Camera angle looking at it straight on.
  19. Papa Cub
    Matty Ice 🤣
  20. Papa Cub
    That’s close
  21. Papa Cub
    Can’t argue that
  22. Papa Cub
    100% - what sense did that make?
  23. Papa Cub
    Yeah shake your horsefeathers head, Phil - I’m not even upset with you……you just suck. Counsell should shake his head
  24. Papa Cub
    All I’m saying is if they lose this game because of this inning this game is 100% on Craig Counsell
  25. Papa Cub
    Is there a reason Counsell calls Maton’s number when it’s a tight game and high leverage situation?
