  1. Admittedly haven’t looked at any numbers on him so this all anecdotal, but he seemed to be a lot worse in year two. Obviously made some questionable decisions off the field but now he plays fundamentally unintelligent baseball on the field.
  2. Two wild stats I found looking on Fangraphs to emphasize how insane the Cubs position players were… In the ten full seasons before this year, the 28th ranked team by pitching Fwar (which the Cubs had) averaged 95.1 losses. The worst of those teams, the 47-115 2018 Orioles, had 7.1. The Cubs had 6.0 this year. Lol.
  3. May be more prudent to fix the pitching from a coaching standpoint before investing major money (please Ricketts). Yes there was a lack of high end talent this year but it wasn’t just injury replacements that were bad. Guys that came into the team at the deadline were generally pretty terrible. Guys who were in the plan from February had some really bad stretches, starter or reliever. At some point it might be something the Cubs are doing if essentially every arm they touch becomes terrible.
  4. People will rightfully be upset but its not Boyd or anyone else on the mound tonight’s fault that their agent convinced an MLB team to give them a contract.
  5. As a west coaster Im pretty pumped about not having to watch the first innings on my commute home lol.
  6. Good for Webb getting 1-2-3. Can’t be mentally easy to slump that hard.
  7. I would do the same thing I did in 2021 and 2022 and before 2015 lol, what kind of question is that. I would disagree that I lose my mind when the Cubs lose, you massively overestimate how I feel based on nothing but words. Saying “X player is awful”, doesn’t mean my evening is ruined, theres no emotion there. Theres nothing wrong with saying someone sucks if they suck, I get destroyed if I make mistakes in my job, blowing up at the bullpen is kind of part of the fun in its own way. 🤷🏻‍♂️
  8. I hate watching minor league talent wear major league uniforms, im going to call out the pitching until they play like big leaguers.
  9. Thats irrelevant to what Im saying though, I don’t care about how many games it takes to determine who should/shouldnt be in the playoffs, I want to watch my team play as many games as possible.
  10. Maybe you don’t actually like sports that much then. Being able to watch your team almost daily is part of the appeal to me.
  11. Because I enjoy watching baseball games and I don’t want to lose out on opportunities to do so because people who don’t like baseball want there to be fewer baseball games.
  12. Id just like to add that the era of the NHL that is unanimously seen as peak pro hockey saw 16/21 teams make the playoffs. I’ll be nice but as a Canadian any criticism of the NHL is essentially a racial attack.
  13. The likely sub .500 playoff team will be a division winner. This would have happened in the 1996 format. MLB still has the lowest percentage of playoff teams of the Big 4. 12/30 is perfect
  14. I think this series with Miami demonstrated that pitcher friendly weather hurts the Cubs more than the visitors. Theres is no amount of wind that can make this pitching staff not give up massive bombs. Stowers took Gausman dead center in the wind.
  15. To highlight how different this year could have gone, the Cubs have the 29th ranked pitching FWar in MLB. The last ten teams to rank 29th in that stat in a full 162 game season (including the 2021 Cubs) had an average record of 66-96, with three 100+ loss teams. It is an absolute miracle this team has a chance at 90 wins heading into the last series.
  16. I was 6 months old for the NLCS but horsefeathers them regardless.
  17. More and more likely they don’t win another regular season game. I’ll forgive the Rockies for 2018 if they upset Arizona today.
  18. With the BS this season I don’t care just get in.
