dmick89,
Four games in four days would have been awesome, but it was just just 3 games in one week.

I just had a random log out that was fixed with a refresh. Not on mobile, but it was my first in a while.
ceruleanQuote Reply
That’s some good leadoffing, Chris.
RizzoTheRatQuote Reply
33 pitches.
RizzoTheRatQuote Reply
cerulean,
I just had another log out with RizzoTheRat’s info prefilled.
ceruleanQuote Reply
RizzoTheRat,
I would prefer he be a candidate for the Cubs-adjusted stats.
ceruleanQuote Reply
I wonder if Montero will ever throw out another baserunner.
RizzoTheRatQuote Reply
Boone said anyone you talk to says the Cubs are the best team in baseball. Aaron Boone apparently hasn’t talked to Gerrit Cole.

Cubs feed dropping so stuck with PIT radio guys.

Baez!
RizzoTheRatQuote Reply
Same here. I’m going to contact the host in the morning and tell them to get it fixed or we will have to move again. It’s getting old. I apologize.
Baez!

ESPN guys are talking about trading Schwarber for Chapman. Ugh.
RizzoTheRatQuote Reply
Why are these clowns, or anybody else, talking about trading Schwarber? Nobody is untouchable, but he’s as close to it as Bryant and Rizzo. More so when you factor in the future salaries.
dmick89Quote Reply
Schwarber for Miller and Chapman? Maybe.
ceruleanQuote Reply
No thanks. Seriously. Not a chance I’d make that trade.
dmick89Quote Reply
I’m glad Theo & co. are smarter than dumbass announcers.
RizzoTheRatQuote Reply
Don’t worry about it. theo shot rumors of trading Schwarber down.
dmick89Quote Reply
RizzoTheRat,
Yep. I agree.
dmick89Quote Reply
Hendricks is looking really good tonight.
dmick89Quote Reply
dmick89,
I said maybe. I don’t make that trade for non-baseball reasons alone. And the Yankees balk at that. There is no way a trade happens if the Yankees insist on Schwarber, but I think the national media is talking about that because they believe he is only a DH and are devaluing him enormously.
ceruleanQuote Reply
I didn’t think you could trade injured guys.
SKQuote Reply
SK,
I think they changed that rule.
dmick89Quote Reply
If the Cubs do strike a deal with the Yankees, I feel like it will only be to increase the depth on both sides—hitting for pitching, and it will be headlined by Miller and Soler/Baez.
Hendricks going after the K-Kid. (dying laughing)

Bryant!

I love this team.

cerulean,
I agree. I think one of Soler/Baez is the centerpiece in a deal.
Rizzo.
love this team.
dmick89Quote Reply
I think that’s Rizzo’s first opposite-field homer of the year.
RizzoTheRatQuote Reply
Infield hit for Miggy. (dying laughing)
dmick89Quote Reply
And I think they call that a “Montero stolen base”.
ceruleanQuote Reply
In case it wasn’t clear to everyone, Montero ≠ Baez.
ceruleanQuote Reply
That was a beautiful pitch.
ceruleanQuote Reply
Hendricks thinks he’s Roger Clemens tonight.
dmick89Quote Reply
dmick89,
I was going to say Scherzer without the homers…
RizzoTheRatQuote Reply
Bryzzo is (are?) on pace for 80+ homers.
ceruleanQuote Reply
When is the last time two teammates had 40 or more homeruns each?
*Looks at last year*
Oh. (dying laughing)
ceruleanQuote Reply
cerulean,
Yeah, way back in 2015.
dmick89Quote Reply
Next year there will be 3 teammates with 40+.
dmick89Quote Reply
Hendricks has been getting some help from the umpire.
RizzoTheRatQuote Reply
dmick89Quote Reply
Hendricks getting the Maddux treatment. I approve.
ceruleanQuote Reply
dmick89,
I was thinking the same thing.
ceruleanQuote Reply
So Maddon didn’t sound optimistic to me about Fowler not going to the DL. Does Murton get called up? This is crazy.
dmick89Quote Reply
Hendricks just struck out McCutchen for the third time. In the same game.
dmick89Quote Reply
Only eleven strikeouts through five. Kyle will have to pick up the pace a little if he is going to break the all time strikeout record. Slacker.
ceruleanQuote Reply
The ball is really flying today.
RizzoTheRatQuote Reply
This doesn’t feel like a close game, but the Pirates could tie it here.
dmick89Quote Reply
dmick89,
Good thing Clayton Richard is warmed up.
RizzoTheRatQuote Reply
And unnecessary.
ceruleanQuote Reply
I wouldn’t be surprised if we see Richard tonight.
dmick89Quote Reply
Finally a Contreras plate appearance.
dmick89Quote Reply
Willlson time.
RizzoTheRatQuote Reply
Willson.
ceruleanQuote Reply
Willllllson!
RizzoTheRatQuote Reply
Yessssssssss!
dmick89Quote Reply
Fixed.
ceruleanQuote Reply
W!!!son
ceruleanQuote Reply
I missed it but I’m sure it was glorious.
SKQuote Reply
dmick89Quote Reply
It wasn’t cheap—straight away center—104 mph at 28º off the bat for 415 feet.
ceruleanQuote Reply
ClayDick serves no purpose on this team.
dmick89Quote Reply
Contreras is on pace for infinity home runs
EnricoPallazzoQuote Reply
dmick89,
When I was at the game on Friday I had to explain to my brother why Rodriguez got booed.
SKQuote Reply
On the BBTN crew singing the seventh inning stretch: “The good news is it’s all going to be over soon.”
Are they aware that Clayton Richard is pitching?
ceruleanQuote Reply
EnricoPallazzo,
Don’t exaggerate. He can hit at most 300 homeruns.
ceruleanQuote Reply
Login issue apparently still not settled. RtR, I have just submitted your email to the potterybarn.com newsletter.
EnricoPallazzoQuote Reply
Agreed that he is on pace to hit 300 this year
EnricoPallazzoQuote Reply
That was a terrible pitch.
dmick89Quote Reply
This inning sucks.
RizzoTheRatQuote Reply
Warren kind of sucks, which surprises me.
dmick89Quote Reply
Ugh, Cleveland.
ceruleanQuote Reply
Two batters faced, two batters reach. I didn’t know ClayDick was pitching for the Pirates too.
ceruleanQuote Reply
Time to re-screw the closer.
RizzoTheRatQuote Reply
Thank you, righthanded ClayDick.
Rizzo almost took out Heyward with that. (dying laughing)
ceruleanQuote Reply
Cubs so awesome
SKQuote Reply
cerulean,
I’m surprised Heyward didn’t strain a hamstring trying to avoid it.
dmick89Quote Reply
Hector’s brother?!
ceruleanQuote Reply
dmick89,
That only happens running to first.
ceruleanQuote Reply
I still can’t get over LeBron knocking Green down and stepping over him in an attempt to get Green to react and being rewarded for it. Not only that, he was given a lesser foul.
dmick89Quote Reply
Addison Russell!!!!!!
dmick89Quote Reply
I like homeruns.
Happy Father’s Day, Addy!

Woow

RizzoTheRat,
Rondon screwed Rondon.
ceruleanQuote Reply
I’m still holding on to the hope that Warren well return to form. Richard I’ve never had high hopes for.
RizzoTheRatQuote Reply
I get the feeling that he is not good at cleaning up other’s messes.
ceruleanQuote Reply
dmick89Quote Reply
Shut. Up. About. Bartman.
RizzoTheRatQuote Reply
Really, the fucking Bartman game. Fuck you ESPN.
ceruleanQuote Reply
J-Hey would make a shitty golfer. (dying laughing)
ceruleanQuote Reply
cerulean,
I’ve been thinking all along that he’s just been a bit unlucky and it was small sampling, but I don’t know. I think he might just suck. (dying laughing)

I genuinely hope the Pirates are second in the division by Thursday.
ceruleanQuote Reply
It would be +200 without Richard.
dmick89Quote Reply
cerulean,
yeah, but I only give a shit because I’m hoping the Pirates beat up on the Giants and obviously I want the Cubs to do the same to the Cardinals.
dmick89Quote Reply
dmick89,
The truth.
ceruleanQuote Reply
538 has them back up to 107 wins (108 high). 1592 ELO. Pretty sure that’s the high, isn’t it?
dmick89Quote Reply
To win 100 games, the Cubs only have to go 53-42 the rest of the way.
dmick89Quote Reply
dmick89,
That is the high season Elo. Also, 1579 is their new historical Elo high.
ceruleanQuote Reply
26% World Series Champions is also a high, no?
ceruleanQuote Reply
cerulean,
I think so. I think it may have been 26% after the win yesterday, but it hasn’t been higher than that. BP is at 18.6% prior to today’s win. That’s also a high.
dmick89Quote Reply
dmick89,
FG at 19.8 WS% and 102.9 wins—I believe these are highwater marks as well.
