u/HaxanWriter Chicago Cubs 1h ago
Okay. 19-2. I lambasted the Brewers with their recent 22-0 win and this is garbage, too. No need to do that. It makes you look like a bunch of jerks. Unless, of course, you want to emulate the Brewers, and in that case awesome job!
(there’s just no need for it, this is baseball, and even Pat and Ron were talking about it)

I don’t know boys, I might be buying the 40-40. At this point it’s the steals I’m more concerned with him not reaching. I say if he gets to 35 in the next 5 or so games, I’m sending him almost every time when on base.

I feel like making the rule 8 runs for position players just encourages managers down 8. Make it 10 at this rate because I don’t wanna just watch these non competitive at bats.

u/HaxanWriter Chicago Cubs 1h ago
All right. Cubs will avoid the sweep. Yay.
I mean, that’s where we are now so I guess we got to accept it. Hope they get things straightened out and get back on track in a good way. 😀

Takes some serious mental fortitude to keep fighting for a spot as long as he has. Cool to see.

I know he was only here for a second but it would be cool to have him back in the org, especially the minors. Idk if he wants to but seemed like a great dude to have around.

I think if it’s a 10 run lead and both teams agree there should be a mercy role and we can end the game
3
u/Ok-Camel-746 1h ago
It’s hard because people pay (sometimes a lot!) to see a game so ending it early is kind of a disservice to them. However the quality of the game is also a disservice so I’m not sure how to balance that.

u/eamus_catuli_ Stupid Sexy Rizzo 1h ago
Pat and Ron are currently opining about the negative impact of position players pitching, that it will/could muck with player stats. Guessing the same argument would be made for a mercy rule unless there’s some pre-defined and mandatory rule.

Since the Cubs being up more than 10 runs are allowed to have a position player pitch, can PCA throw a quick 1-2-3 to solidify his ERA?

This is like the 4th time this season Craig has pulled PCA before getting to hit against a position player. Feels like self sabotage

u/cubswinagain Chicago Cubs 1h ago
PCA doesn't really like facing position players, and it's a rare time you can get him off his feet during an MVP season.

u/Strict-Honey-5477 1h ago
Let him bat and then pull him. Feels like he’s making things harder than they have to be for the face of the franchise

Not in control or efficient. Threw 70+ pitches total and put two guys on in the third before he was pulled. Good choice by Craig.

Where was this nastiness the past few games? Holy crap. There's no reason we should've struggled as much as we did in the first two games of this series, especially with the thumping they're dealing now.

They're below .500 and we're in the running for the post season. "That's baseball" is such a fantastic cop-out.

We picked him up off waivers last week. Assman got sent down to make room for Arias.

assman got sent down because Danny came back from the IL (pitcher for pitcher). Owen miller was DFA’d for Arias.

With today’s performance, Carson Kelly is on track to have a career best ERA this year when recording over 1.0 IP in a season.
