When do we get nervous?

That’s really cool - thank you for sharing that to offer the perspective as to why that is 🙏

Javy shooting Thompson’s slug through the roof - good lord

May 7th against the Reds I think they said
-
By the way, welcome to the site! Some good folks on here. I like your optimism and positivity. I need more of that in my life lol. This team has me in a bit of a funk, but at the end of the day I freaking love them lol
-
That is the best news all week!!!
-
Ha! Took me a minute when I first joined - if you drop the F bomb or something colorful lol - the site “covers it” with Horsefeathers .
-
Let’s get a horsefeathers W today, huh?
-
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. 🤕 🥴🧐
-
Aside from the injuries - this is just a bad baseball team
-
Haha
-
Not for long
-
So it begins
-
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 🔥
-
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
-
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
-
This team sucks - goodnight 💤
-
Who didn’t see this horsefeathers coming
-
Idc who gets the W - just get one ☝️ 😆

At what point does Nico shift to SS and Ramirez or Shaw take over 2nd? Swanson is like a pitcher hitting
