  - Of course not-* - Ron McDon July 9, 2025, 19:05:01
    - Dansby has his back to the play fielding the throw. That’s a communication issue from the IFs - CanHartlebHireSnider July 9, 2025, 19:06:29
      - Ive changed my opinion now since the expert on all topics has weighed in. Thank you.* - Ron McDon July 9, 2025, 19:07:49

Mitch Keller and O’Neil Cruz to SD rumor would be… something. Crazy athletic OF for 4 years. But…* - LeatherneckIllini July 7, 2025, 18:58:21
- Cruz is fun to watch in an occasional highlight but not actually any good. - OB25 July 7, 2025, 21:29:05
  - yup. tools someone will always think they can unlock. And didn’t realize not the best “clubhouse.”* - LeatherneckIllini July 8, 2025, 16:28:55

    - WHO WON THE TRADE NOW? WHO??? - LeatherneckIllini July 8, 2025, 16:26:06
    - Michael King’s Padres career is virtually done. Vazquez is mediocre. Cease is a pending FA - CanHartlebHireSnider July 7, 2025, 20:06:54
      - King will resign. Cease is gone. King is really, really good. King back in probably 3-4 weeks* - LeatherneckIllini July 8, 2025, 16:27:28
        
        King will be a FA at the end of the year - CanHartlebHireSnider July 8, 2025, 17:06:06
      - Hey somewhere, there’s a Blazers fan muttering that the Sam Bowie pick worked out great.* - Carl Spackler July 7, 2025, 20:16:46
    - LOL. King, Cease and Vazquez COMBINED barely have more bWAR than the Nats non-All Star. - Carl Spackler July 7, 2025, 19:44:02
      - Is it worth mentioning that Grisham, the unwanted castaway throw-in, is also having a better year?* - RVA July 7, 2025, 20:07:12
        
        LOL, holy shit what an epic tire fire* - Carl Spackler July 7, 2025, 20:17:43

Two Cubs moves I would like to see… - OB25 July 7, 2025, 13:10:49
- If KC is open for business they should be doing whatever they can to land Bubic - CanHartlebHireSnider July 7, 2025, 13:55:48
  - That would be ideal, I just assumed he was even less available.* - OB25 July 7, 2025, 14:07:34
    - He’s only under control through 2026. - CanHartlebHireSnider July 7, 2025, 14:14:07
- Also, Michael Busch has the 6th best OPS in all of baseball* - OB25 July 7, 2025, 13:44:39
Quite the shit pumping.* - Toonces July 6, 2025, 20:38:32

Please cut Masyn Winn loose from being mic’d this inning. It’s awkward at this point* - OB25 July 6, 2025, 19:36:38
- Give him credit though, he was one of the best they’ve done even in a terrible inning.* - OB25 July 6, 2025, 19:48:05
  - I was way more interested in listening to Wynn play baseball than the forced interview* - CanHartlebHireSnider July 6, 2025, 20:21:02
PCA made that look effortless * - illini21 July 6, 2025, 19:21:04
Ricketts has to pony up for Tucker. Has to.* - Toonces July 6, 2025, 19:12:43
- It’s going to be so frustrating when they let him walk. Pretty expensive rental… - shua July 6, 2025, 20:28:30
  - Considering what they paid, the backlash will be severe and long-lasting. - Toonces July 6, 2025, 21:12:52
  - They’ll use the emergence of PCA/Busch + great year from Seiya as cover for it. - OB25 July 6, 2025, 20:41:01
  - Especially when the early returns for Cam Smith are very, very promising. - Carl Spackler July 6, 2025, 20:32:14
    - I got mocked pretty hard when I said 3 years of Paredes has a ton of value - CanHartlebHireSnider July 6, 2025, 20:48:22
      - Yes I will let this bring me down if we aren’t a playoff team 2-3 years from now. - Carl Spackler July 6, 2025, 20:57:50

Live from Wrigley - DanSaint July 6, 2025, 15:45:05
Side: bananaball looks so damn fun to see live* - DanSaint July 5, 2025, 18:28:17
- I think it looks dumb but 10 year old me would probably have loved it* - bjl63 July 6, 2025, 17:49:13
- It’s fine. But it’s basically tik tok live. Sensory overload * - John Coctostan July 5, 2025, 20:02:15

Swanson is the master of inconsequential hits* - opossum jenkins July 5, 2025, 14:24:38

Chicago fans, be grateful for your stadiums. Went to the Braves today and it is such a mediocre - ATL July 4, 2025, 22:46:45
- 75% of new stadiums suck and are not made for the average fan. That's why I don't understand why.. - gullit July 4, 2025, 23:03:05
  - Contrast the Benz: 10 minute drive to MARTA. 15 minutes to the stadium station. 15 minutes to seat. - ATL July 5, 2025, 14:42:28

  - At the time the series was played is what I said. - OB25 June 22, 2025, 15:40:47
    - Meh they currently have the 2nd best record in baseball vs teams .500 or better - CanHartlebHireSnider June 22, 2025, 15:47:39

Appreciate the good work he did early in the season, but it’s time to move on from Colin Rea - OB25 June 22, 2025, 14:19:06
- Agreed. Terrible pitching matchup in a huge offensive environment - CanHartlebHireSnider June 22, 2025, 14:22:05
  - since Imanaga is returning on road trip...gotta think maybe he takes Rea's spot? Do you DFA him - DanSaint June 22, 2025, 14:28:02
    - The problem is Ben Brown sucks too. I’d imagine it’s Brown to the pen* - Carl Spackler June 22, 2025, 14:44:07
      - i also how long they wait to acquire a starter or two - DanSaint June 22, 2025, 14:46:39

Unbelievable outing from Keller* - OB25 June 21, 2025, 15:34:54

  - I mean they kind of did. He had to apologize. They just accepted his apology being vague* - CanHartlebHireSnider June 20, 2025, 9:21:03

- Man, if this costs them third place…* - Herman Blume June 20, 2025, 15:51:09

oops.* - Ari Gold June 20, 2025, 5:49:41
Random observation. Tony Gwynn Jr sounds exactly like his dad* - bjl63 June 19, 2025, 22:27:19
Braves GM says under no circumstances will they even consider trading Sale* - OB25 June 19, 2025, 21:47:28
- not to mention they’re poised to make a run here.* - Ari Gold June 20, 2025, 5:51:08
- Yeah, but comments like these are completely worthless* - Carl Spackler June 19, 2025, 22:28:12
  - Generally true but this is pretty strong… - OB25 June 20, 2025, 0:34:44
No quit in this team. I appreciate their moxie. - KingTalkyTiki June 19, 2025, 16:22:03

Per Bob Nightengale: Rays expect to he sold by end of the year - DanSaint June 18, 2025, 12:19:17
Weak effort from the crowd, that needs to be a curtain call* - OB25 June 17, 2025, 21:19:52
- Sorry. We did our best.* - KingTalkyTiki June 18, 2025, 10:33:58
Oh wow* - illini21 June 17, 2025, 21:19:22
Longest Cub HR this year* - CanHartlebHireSnider June 17, 2025, 21:19:10

- Absolutely unreal catch. Literally straight up LF* - CanHartlebHireSnider June 17, 2025, 21:17:29
Keller hitting 99 to get Hoskins* - CanHartlebHireSnider June 17, 2025, 21:03:27
His arm is still good, but oof has the hitting and receiving fallen off a cliff for Kelly. - OB25 June 17, 2025, 21:00:34
- The contact falling out gives me a pass on that last one - CanHartlebHireSnider June 17, 2025, 21:03:15
  - Yeah, posted before seeing that so I’ll concede the point on that one. - OB25 June 17, 2025, 21:08:23

  - Berti says look at me* - Mrap24 June 15, 2025, 15:51:39
Horrible at bats through 2 innings* - opossum jenkins June 14, 2025, 13:49:33
Even making contact against elite MLB pitching is a damn near miraculous feat. - OB25 June 13, 2025, 20:03:15
Wow quite a whimper* - Herman Blume June 13, 2025, 16:14:25
We are consistently so bad at moving the Manfred Man from 2nd to 3rd. - OB25 June 13, 2025, 16:09:48
What a bad play by the Pirates SS* - OB25 June 13, 2025, 15:38:53
Weird play. Did IKF forget the situation?* - CanHartlebHireSnider June 13, 2025, 15:38:48
I’ve got no problem with that* - opossum jenkins June 13, 2025, 14:40:47
Nice job so far of at least building up Skenes’ pitch count* - OB25 June 13, 2025, 14:29:44

- I can't believe how many jomboy followers seem to think it was real* - Sammich June 13, 2025, 0:07:45
Some numbers on the Cubs bullpen… - OB25 June 12, 2025, 21:20:11
I would consider not hitting the 8 hitter and then walking the 9 hitter on 4 pitches* - Carl Spackler June 12, 2025, 20:39:34
- That last pitch to Cruz hung right down the middle too* - CanHartlebHireSnider June 12, 2025, 20:42:45
Wow that’s one of the worst missed calls you’ll see from a home plate ump* - OB25 June 12, 2025, 20:13:41
This has gotten insane, it’s mid-June and it’s gonna be yet another cold, windy homestand* - OB25 June 12, 2025, 19:15:59
- Helps Jamo I guess. PCA blows through it* - CanHartlebHireSnider June 12, 2025, 19:54:54

Woof Kyle gotta bail out your pitcher. Ben just gotta eat it today* - CanHartlebHireSnider June 11, 2025, 13:27:42
Welp, looks like bad Ben Brown is back. - OB25 June 11, 2025, 12:30:12
- It seems like he is either unhittable or awful. Rarely much in between* - UofIL6 June 11, 2025, 12:50:13
- Too much left over the heart of the plate - CanHartlebHireSnider June 11, 2025, 12:49:03
- can't afford to leave a bunch of runners on base if Brown isn't on his game today. - Illiniphil June 11, 2025, 12:41:15
I had a feeling this would be the day they finally give PCA a day off, definitely makes sense.* - OB25 June 11, 2025, 12:05:10
- Especially when you look at Luzardo's splits RH vs LH* - DanSaint June 11, 2025, 12:17:33
I feel like the Cubs starting situation is a bit more dire than is being talked about. - Carl Spackler June 11, 2025, 8:55:56
- Disregard* - DanSaint June 11, 2025, 12:16:12
- It’s interesting because I care way less about having top end starting pitching for the playoffs - OB25 June 11, 2025, 11:21:14
  - I'd have a lot of concerns at the trade deadline relying on the guys you mentioned in the playoffs.* - Carl Spackler June 11, 2025, 12:42:46
    - Unless you can get Chris Sale, I just think it kind of is what it is. - OB25 June 11, 2025, 13:10:18
- Shota tossed 40 pitches in a live start in Arizona yesterday and did well. - ibdoc June 11, 2025, 10:01:17
  - He's not penciled in to start 6/19 and the team has said he needs multiple more rehab starts* - CanHartlebHireSnider June 11, 2025, 10:02:33
    - Also, where did you see "multiple" rehab starts. Not seeing that comment. See this often: - ibdoc June 11, 2025, 10:07:53
      - Craig Counsell said yesterday that Shota will make a couple more rehab starts* - CanHartlebHireSnider June 11, 2025, 10:09:56
        
        "at least 3 rehab appearances" - CanHartlebHireSnider June 11, 2025, 10:11:47
    - My bad, CBS sports has him listed to start* - ibdoc June 11, 2025, 10:05:26
- Sandy is probably the big fish but we’ll end up with someone like Bailey Falter - MC June 11, 2025, 9:39:43
  - The big fish is Chris Sale* - CanHartlebHireSnider June 11, 2025, 9:40:24
    - Whoa Braves suck? I didn’t realize how much they’re falling behind * - MC June 11, 2025, 9:42:46
      - Sandy finally put together a decent start the other day but I wouldn't be surprised if he's not move - CanHartlebHireSnider June 11, 2025, 9:53:00
- I think you're stretching this a bit out here but yes the Cubs need starting pitching - CanHartlebHireSnider June 11, 2025, 9:25:52
  - I want to expand and just say they need more pitching in general - CanHartlebHireSnider June 11, 2025, 10:02:05
- The whole point of sitting tight on prospects the past few years was for moments like this* - RVA June 11, 2025, 9:06:57
  - Yes, I just hope they don’t half ass it. They don’t need 4/5 depth guys. They need 1/2/3 guys* - Carl Spackler June 11, 2025, 9:10:05
    - In other words, don't be Mike Elias* - bjl63 June 11, 2025, 9:41:10
    - At least one of Shota, Steele, or theoretical trade acquisition will miss the playoffs - RVA June 11, 2025, 9:19:16
      - Steele is a given....he's out for the year.* - Illiniphil June 11, 2025, 9:23:45
        
        Didn't he have TJ surgery? - ibdoc June 11, 2025, 9:29:58
        
        Not TJ but it was his elbow. Out for the year indeed.* - Warrin'_Illini June 11, 2025, 9:31:31
        
        Yeah he probably won't even be ready for 2026 OD* - CanHartlebHireSnider June 11, 2025, 9:33:10
        
        For sure. At least it's good that they won't have to rush him. July works.* - Warrin'_Illini June 11, 2025, 9:34:31
- You're not lying. It's why my overall expectations are tempered, despite how I'm enjoying how fun - Warrin'_Illini June 11, 2025, 9:02:27
I know it was better long term but everytime Shaw makes a nice pick - CanHartlebHireSnider June 10, 2025, 20:57:37
- That barehanded grab and toss in the 9th... - KingTalkyTiki June 11, 2025, 10:15:05
Happ rediscovering some of his power would be nice. 3 HR’s in the last 2 games* - OB25 June 10, 2025, 19:43:24
Not the Cubs but Aaron Judge just hit a Glenallen Hill-type roof shot.* - Toonces June 10, 2025, 18:46:03
- Glenallen Legend.* - cpsteine June 12, 2025, 20:02:21
That was a tough loss.* - Toonces June 9, 2025, 20:54:42
Not a fan of Palencia getting two innings* - CanHartlebHireSnider June 9, 2025, 20:54:06
I’m officially sick of Swanson’s shit* - opossum jenkins June 9, 2025, 20:52:32
- Also meh. He’s in the middle of putting up another 4 win season - CanHartlebHireSnider June 9, 2025, 20:58:15
This feels like it would be an important win on the season if we can pull it out* - opossum jenkins June 9, 2025, 20:45:23
- Meh. It’d definitely have been nice to steal Wheeler start - CanHartlebHireSnider June 9, 2025, 20:53:42
  - Not a bad loss, just a near good win that wasn’t. Which are always a bummer in the moment. - OB25 June 9, 2025, 21:03:06
    - That is true. Would like Toronto take this back. They just blew it but then scored to tie* - CanHartlebHireSnider June 9, 2025, 21:13:06
- Narrator* - OB25 June 9, 2025, 20:49:49
Dansby is a semi disaster at the plate* - Ron McDon June 9, 2025, 20:42:26
Man that is a shitty break that will probably end up being the difference. Crazy spin* - OB25 June 9, 2025, 20:12:59
- And another bad break, he was out but couldn’t overturn. This road trip has sucked in this regard* - OB25 June 9, 2025, 20:17:44
Love the defense shown today.* - Carl Spackler June 9, 2025, 19:59:15
Will never get over idiots online saying Tucker plays lazy defense #tradekyle* - CanHartlebHireSnider June 9, 2025, 18:14:18
What a weird schedule the Cubs had this year. - OB25 June 9, 2025, 16:46:45
It’s only 630am and I’m having a really bad day so far - timmer June 9, 2025, 5:35:18
- I've been skipping breakfast. Probably ham and cheese for lunch.* - Illiniphil June 9, 2025, 8:33:30
Horton just throwing center cut fastballs way too often in big situations* - OB25 June 8, 2025, 14:04:58
That was a very bad strike 3 call* - Carl Spackler June 8, 2025, 13:52:05
- Been getting hosed all series.* - Toonces June 8, 2025, 13:53:33
- IT’S ALL ABOUT ME!!* - shua June 8, 2025, 13:52:42
Seiya's tendency to take obvious strike fastballs with 2 strikes is baffling. - Carl Spackler June 8, 2025, 13:35:07
Today is one where it felt like the writing was on the wall just by watching the 1st inning. - OB25 June 8, 2025, 13:17:20
- Well, Flaherty lost it a bit this inning but that play at the plate sure hurts. - OB25 June 8, 2025, 13:36:37
This kid in the stands behind home plate is a riot * - biclops June 8, 2025, 12:53:25
Braves just keep digging a deeper hole, I wonder if Chris Sale could end up being available.* - OB25 June 7, 2025, 18:51:46
- He’s the guy I’ve been focusing on. And the Cubs should be doing whatever they can to land him* - CanHartlebHireSnider June 7, 2025, 18:53:02
Today's 1st rounders - CanHartlebHireSnider June 7, 2025, 16:49:11

  - major luck for the Dodgers in this inning. crazy* - jayd June 7, 2025, 15:48:25
    - Yeah weakly hit grounder that hits a base. Weakly hit bloop single. wild pitch K scores a run* - CanHartlebHireSnider June 7, 2025, 15:49:23
      - Dodgers trying to give it back* - jayd June 7, 2025, 15:53:31
        
        and they do. Arenado walks it off* - DanSaint June 7, 2025, 16:55:39
I’ll give this to Eddings, he’s been consistent. It’s a huge zone up, down, inside, and outside - OB25 June 7, 2025, 14:04:08
Seiya again* - illini21 June 7, 2025, 13:51:13
Seiya is strong as hell, man* - opossum jenkins June 7, 2025, 13:50:51

That was a high level game, Cubs just couldn’t catch a break in this one. - OB25 June 6, 2025, 20:32:19
- Defensively, the Tigers were absolutely terrific* - opossum jenkins June 7, 2025, 4:18:09
Cubs actually did well against Skubal, just ran themselves out of at least 2 runs* - OB25 June 6, 2025, 20:05:31
- Sucks but had this marked up as a loss anyways. Go out and win the next two - CanHartlebHireSnider June 6, 2025, 20:27:54
- The PCA send was unforgivable. I get the SB attempts.* - Carl Spackler June 6, 2025, 20:18:42
  - I’ve never noticed a 3B coach more than I have with Berry this year. And rarely in a good way* - OB25 June 6, 2025, 20:23:47
Damn, frustrating inning to not score and then give up runs this way right after* - OB25 June 6, 2025, 19:21:48
Third base coach screwed the pooch there* - Ron McDon June 6, 2025, 19:11:10
Props to PCA, has held up well against Skubal* - OB25 June 6, 2025, 19:08:10

  - Totally Berry’s fault too. He’s been bad all year* - OB25 June 6, 2025, 19:11:38
Dansby disappears too often* - opossum jenkins June 6, 2025, 18:26:26
Kyle Teel getting called up. Can never get enough of the call-up videos. They're all so awesome - UofIL6 June 6, 2025, 13:18:08
- ooo - UofIL6 June 6, 2025, 15:34:30
Braves call up Kimbrel - bjl63 June 6, 2025, 10:37:21
- Hopefully he helps them lose enough so they trade Sale (to the Cubs).* - Warrin'_Illini June 6, 2025, 10:47:49

    - I wouldn't be surprised if that has to be collectively bargained, honestly.* - MojoJojo June 6, 2025, 13:02:26
- Good, love it. I’m not ready to take the full plunge yet, but the challenge system - voiceofreason June 6, 2025, 10:26:09

  - that sounds better * - biclops June 6, 2025, 10:42:29
  - That is what it is* - CanHartlebHireSnider June 6, 2025, 9:20:13
    - I thought it might. I think I saw it once a few years ago at a Indy Indians game. - tvillini June 6, 2025, 11:34:23
      - ABS has been used at various minor leagues since 2021. Challenge system was used in ST this year - CanHartlebHireSnider June 6, 2025, 11:52:35
    - Okay if it's really done in just a few seconds then i'm on board* - illini21 June 6, 2025, 10:27:13
  - And it can be used a very limited amount of times* - ISeeDeadHawkeyes June 6, 2025, 9:12:30
  - It is pretty darn fast based on minors/spring training* - Carl Spackler June 6, 2025, 8:39:57

    - What do the data say on how accurate the best umps are? - Chilango June 6, 2025, 12:13:03
      - The best umps are more than 95% accurate* - Herman Blume June 6, 2025, 13:00:05
    - Would help if umps called pitches where they cross the plate - bjl63 June 6, 2025, 8:52:27
    - I would prefer robo umps but this is a step in the right direction. I believe this system is - Warrin'_Illini June 6, 2025, 8:43:03
      - Exactly, it’s just a step towards the inevitable* - Carl Spackler June 6, 2025, 8:54:22

      - There has never been any date mentioned that I've seen - CanHartlebHireSnider June 6, 2025, 10:28:43
        
        I’ve been assuming Assad will end up being out for the year when it’s all said and done* - OB25 June 6, 2025, 11:10:02
        
        One site: - ibdoc June 6, 2025, 10:49:42

So, does Boog have an apprenticeship at the IBEW or something?* - opossum jenkins June 5, 2025, 20:07:34

Happ yeah!* - opossum jenkins June 5, 2025, 19:17:01
Huh. Cubs activated and DFA’d Tyson Miller. - Carl Spackler June 5, 2025, 18:57:25
- Writing was on the wall like a month ago when they didn’t call him up - CanHartlebHireSnider June 5, 2025, 19:02:20
  - That’s not possible without saying he was injured again, right? (And him agreeing)* - Carl Spackler June 5, 2025, 19:06:08
    - Yeah. I’m guessing maybe they he realized that he wasn’t gonna get a shot - CanHartlebHireSnider June 5, 2025, 20:03:24

As a long-time critic of Jed, I must acknowledge that he’s had a good run. - OB25 June 4, 2025, 14:15:12

  - He has been pretty awful this year* - CanHartlebHireSnider June 3, 2025, 12:06:51

  - I think he's probably the closer for now. Unless he blows more games - CanHartlebHireSnider June 2, 2025, 11:26:55
    - As Hawkeroo used to say the best pitch in baseball - bjl63 June 2, 2025, 11:28:01

4-1 on the home stand while almost the entire lineup is in a slump, not bad* - OB25 May 31, 2025, 15:41:12
