    Always a sad day when a Hall of Famer retires and becomes a color commentator.

    I really think different hitting coaches help different players. Mallee obviously didn’t help Heyward, Chili was really bad for rizzo early in the year. Pentland (and PEDs) helped Sammy but no one else. I dunno, I feel like this is a thing. I wish we could keep chili and only let him work with Heyward.

    I’m old and out of touch. I only know who three of those people are, and I’m clearly meant to be impressed by that lineup.

    I like getting pissed. And yeah, only got 60 names. The most games played that I didn't remember was Moreland (followed closely by Starlin! #-o ) and the player with the least games played that I did remember was Milton Bradley, (followed closely by Mike Bieleki). I got 97 names. My lowest was RhonDL White. He was one of the ones I was angry about. There were several “he only played 125 games?” And several “how the heck did Neifi play 250 games for the cubs!?”

    If you want to get angry take this quiz! https://www.sporcle.com/games/ironsij0287/chicago-cubs-200

    curious to see if it'll be the righty who looks just like Counsell, or the other righty who looks just like Counsell 3D chess.

    I absolutely think he's been playing hurt for a while. Every time he gets on base, he winces like he just did something heroic, even if it was just a single to right. Oh, most definitely. It's inevitable the dude is going to have some extended DL stints. Every time he swings and misses he swings his right shoulder like it’s hurt or stiff. Maybe his uniform just twists when he misses.

    Basically what I said above (we posted about the same time). This team is everything we thought they were. Stupid run by stupid Brewers changes nothing. This team is good and has overcome a lot already. Now the real,season begins. I can’t be anything but happy.

    No one here can say they thought 95 wins was not enough. The Cubs are exactly who we thought they were -in spite of slightly above average bad luck with injuries. The Brewers are not what we thought they were. PS fly the W

    Did he actually own oneOh yes, it’s very nice ***I told them we already got one***

    It’s good. Now two of those things need to happen.
  13. Bull
    Yeah, my thought has nothing to do with Schwarber. Total tangent.
  14. Bull
    The only thing I can think of is that they don't want Bryant at 3B with a sore wrist (glove hand, right?) Otherwise, I definitely prefer Schwarber over Bote vs Wainwright.

    This is purely anecdotal, but it feels like he gets called out on close pitches way more than anyone else on the team. His patience should be helping him, but he's being screwed on marginal pitches I'd love to see some research on the thesis: the strikezone is bigger in high-leverage situations. (not with Schwarber; overall) or Star players (hitters or pitchers) get more help with the strikezone in high leverage situations.
  16. Bull
    I blame you.
  17. Bull
    wow

    I haven't been following the game thread, but Pirates announcers are talking about the play with Rizzo comparing it to the Bartman play. Replaying over and over. But then a ball is hit to shortstop and Javy is the anti-Alex Gonzalez.
  19. Bull
    The game right after we clinch. I'm good with it.
  20. Bull
    No one wants to be a part of this epic collapse. I’m mostly joking.
  21. Bull
    “One of his favorite excuses was that he was young” Are we talking about temper and abuse or his baseball career? Chapman was still abusive at 27, and Addy was only, what, 22 at the time. Still tons of time for him to develop.
  22. Bull
    Less than Zero. Why is this even a conversation? Because two years removed from a World Series championship we're so spoiled that being about to win a 3rd straight division championship, with a team that has dealt with a huge number of injuries, is insufficient. I like being spoiled.

    Career 99 OPS+

    Let's stop and admire (read:vomit) how hard this is to do.

    Two months later, but from what I'm posting below there was no saving Z as a Cub. I have absolutely no memory of this happening at all, I must have been really checked out. I was at this game. He basically threw behind chipper. Twice.
