Cubs - CanHartlebHireSnider March 23, 2026, 15:25:10

Great day. 5.5 back. Reinforcements coming. Let’s do this* - CanHartlebHireSnider Yesterday, 21:50:15
Carson actually challenged the pitch on offense. Cubs are learning* - CanHartlebHireSnider Yesterday, 21:06:49
One of the worst at bats I’ve ever seen by bregman* - Mrap24 Yesterday, 21:02:17
- Autofill? - IlliniSax05 Yesterday, 21:17:52
- Thankfully some great ABs around him.* - Carl Spackler Yesterday, 21:06:30
  - Yep. Great at bat by Kelly!!* - Mrap24 Yesterday, 21:07:11
Holy crap what a bomb by Teoscar. If you told me it went 475 I’d believe you* - OB25 Yesterday, 20:43:57
That had to feel awesome for Seiya* - CanHartlebHireSnider Yesterday, 20:41:29
Jaguar!* - Toonces Yesterday, 19:41:38
Nice to finally see the power flash one time for Alcantara* - OB25 Yesterday, 19:41:16
Boyd looking sharp* - opossum jenkins Yesterday, 19:08:35
- Thank you - I try* - NastyBoyd Yesterday, 20:23:59
Dodgers with one more acquisition… - LeatherneckIllini Yesterday, 18:52:47
I’d be pretty annoyed if I were a Brewers fan. - OB25 Yesterday, 18:11:40
- Same. Very underwhelming.* - voiceofreason Yesterday, 18:38:33
- Yup* - Carl Spackler Yesterday, 18:23:18
- Everything works for the Brewers but I agree - CanHartlebHireSnider Yesterday, 18:14:51
Padres get Casey Mize. Interesting* - UofIL6 Yesterday, 17:03:18
- Son of HOF'er Johnny Mize. - osklister Yesterday, 18:32:55
- <Leather> I think you mean future Hall of Famer Casey Mize <Leather>* - GMAW Yesterday, 17:06:44
- AJ rolling again. Get Pivetta back and maybe Musgrove and in a good place* - LeatherneckIllini Yesterday, 17:06:19
  - In a perfect spot to lose to the Cubs again* - GMAW Yesterday, 17:07:21
  - lol* - GMAW Yesterday, 17:07:00
sounds like Nootbaar has been traded* - DanSaint Yesterday, 16:44:33
- For a Charleston Chew and a 3 Musketeers?* - Illiniphil Yesterday, 18:41:46
- going to Arizona* - DanSaint Yesterday, 16:49:47
So which guys are starters and which are relievers? I’m not familiar with most of these guys* - shua Yesterday, 16:26:58
- Zeferjahn is a reliever. Clay Holmes was a reliever now a starter, Gausman is a starter - CanHartlebHireSnider Yesterday, 16:32:18
  - Not sure how they’ll handle it but I like that they could have the depth to stack 2 SP’s in October - OB25 Yesterday, 16:41:49
    - If Steele is healthy I assume he’ll be giving short burst outings too* - CanHartlebHireSnider Yesterday, 16:58:00
      - Forgot about Steele. I’ll also say that Peterson vs. Imanaga the next 2 months will be interesting. - OB25 Yesterday, 17:09:39
        
        Provided they’re healthy the pitching options are really good mix and matching in the playoffs - CanHartlebHireSnider Yesterday, 17:13:05
      - Maybe Ben Brown too* - CanHartlebHireSnider Yesterday, 16:58:09
Giants close to acquiring Marcelo Mayer from Giants for Erik Miller - DanSaint Yesterday, 16:23:59
Ok dream Sep 1 Cubs roster - CanHartlebHireSnider Yesterday, 16:00:07
Per Heyman: Holmes and Tyrone Taylor to Cubs for Rojas pending physicals - DanSaint Yesterday, 15:48:45
Holmes to Cubs * - MC Yesterday, 15:48:12
- Ok I was wrong. For Rojas and with Tyrone Taylor. Glad to get another starter* - CanHartlebHireSnider Yesterday, 15:48:47
  - Also for personally I might take Rojas over Zyhir Hope - CanHartlebHireSnider Yesterday, 15:51:56
    - Love both of those guys. Holmes is a dog. Taylor is on the mother of all heaters right now. Will be - voiceofreason Yesterday, 16:17:48
Guessing Cubs don't do much more - CanHartlebHireSnider Yesterday, 15:36:34
- Once again, cost controlled starting pitching deemed too expensive* - Carl Spackler Yesterday, 15:42:27
The return for Adley Rutschman is (on paper) one of the biggest overpays you’ll ever see. - OB25 Yesterday, 15:25:00
Zeferjahn to Cubs. Not sure about Detmers * - MC Yesterday, 14:49:51
- Ballesteros and Mason McGwire* - UofIL6 Yesterday, 15:06:15
  - Whoa Ballesteros. Man, that star faded fast* - Carl Spackler Yesterday, 15:41:01
  - Yeah sad to see Mo Baller drop this far. McGwire gets to go home* - CanHartlebHireSnider Yesterday, 15:07:39
- Hopefully Cerami didn't get confused on Angels pitchers but Zeferjahn is a great add* - CanHartlebHireSnider Yesterday, 14:56:47
Cards trade Dustin May and JoJo Romero to Brewers. No word on return* - DanSaint Yesterday, 14:40:52
- Ragsdale and Fries going to St. Louis from Milwaukee. Damn good return - DanSaint Yesterday, 14:58:21
  - You want fries with that?* - SurfTheBoneyard Yesterday, 15:25:31
Cubs are acquiring Braxton Garrett* - CanHartlebHireSnider Yesterday, 14:14:28
- Need to see what’s left after the injuries. I liked him quite a bit in previous seasons * - MC Yesterday, 14:26:49
- Jonathan Long and Jace Beck. 2 older minor leaguers* - UofIL6 Yesterday, 14:18:47
Luke Weaver to Pirates* - OB25 Yesterday, 14:09:53
Cerami says Detmers to Cubs. LFG!* - CanHartlebHireSnider Yesterday, 13:47:48
- Cerami says he's standing by this. Never been wrong before* - CanHartlebHireSnider Yesterday, 14:17:41
  - Guessing it’s similar to Carrabis “breaking” the Rutschman trade… - OB25 Yesterday, 14:30:10
- Oh no Rogers throwing cold water on this. Never seen Cerami be wrong before* - CanHartlebHireSnider Yesterday, 14:02:14
  - Dammit* - OB25 Yesterday, 14:03:03
    - My hope is that Cerami just jumped the gun? - CanHartlebHireSnider Yesterday, 14:11:35
- Jesse Rogers says no deal * - MC Yesterday, 14:01:23
- Now a get a reliever and this a great deadline. Got the two legit starters needed* - CanHartlebHireSnider Yesterday, 13:50:32
Per X, Cubs get Detmers - UofIL6 Yesterday, 13:47:15
- From Chatham, IL. Probably a Cardinals fan. - Warrin'_Illini Yesterday, 13:49:26
I'm sure it was talked about here and I didn't see it, but I saw something about how the Dodgers... - tvillini Yesterday, 13:34:30
- 15 years ago when Frank McCourt was using the team as his personal piggybank - CanHartlebHireSnider Yesterday, 13:41:34
  - OK, that's basically what I saw. I guess my issue is, I don't know how you fix it. - tvillini Yesterday, 13:54:11
- ooo - dk Yesterday, 13:40:20
  - That's what I saw. - tvillini Yesterday, 13:52:13
Oh man the Dodgers are getting Bubic. I love Bubic - CanHartlebHireSnider Yesterday, 13:21:11
- They’re 100% gonna resign him before the CBA expires like Skubal - CanHartlebHireSnider Yesterday, 13:22:17
  - It is really going to suck if there is no baseball next year.* - Warrin'_Illini Yesterday, 13:23:55
    - Oh there’ll be baseball next year - CanHartlebHireSnider Yesterday, 13:27:04
      - I hope youre right.* - Warrin'_Illini Yesterday, 13:40:07
Padres are adding (just got Robbie Ray) so I don’t think any real impact relievers are available.* - OB25 Yesterday, 13:08:20
- Weaver is* - DanSaint Yesterday, 13:08:53
  - He’s had a great 4 months but doesn’t have a track record I would trust. - OB25 Yesterday, 13:15:12
  - Scott?* - opossum jenkins Yesterday, 13:10:52
DeGrom invoking his no trade clause. Would have been cool if the Cubs could’ve landed him* - CanHartlebHireSnider Yesterday, 12:58:10
*pokes Cubs front office** - ISeeDeadHawkeyes Yesterday, 12:32:59
- I thought it was Wednesday but today is indeed the day to make it happen.* - Warrin'_Illini Yesterday, 12:37:24
Rutschman to Red Sox deal is in the final stages. What a disastrous rebuild by the Orioles* - OB25 Yesterday, 11:58:19
- white soxesque.* - Ari Gold Yesterday, 12:12:22
- i wonder if they keep it going and Holliday is moved. Is maybe Gunner moved - DanSaint Yesterday, 12:04:56
Luis Arraez to Phillies. Feels like a perfect fit. Gotta think Stott is probably being moved also* - DanSaint Yesterday, 08:52:18
Jose Soriano to Blue Jays per Passan* - DanSaint Yesterday, 08:37:09
- Interesting Blue Jays are buying after selling Gausman - CanHartlebHireSnider Yesterday, 08:42:32
- Arjun Nimmala part of that deal. Nice piece* - UofIL6 Yesterday, 08:39:16
Do we think there will be additional moves? Moar pitching would be nice.* - Warrin'_Illini Yesterday, 08:30:11
- I would certainly hope so. Gotta try to win now.* - JFG Yesterday, 11:00:01
Jim Bowden lulz - OB25 August 2, 2026, 20:26:37
- he was distracted counting the money he skimmed off those Dominican players he was GM for Washington - DanSaint August 2, 2026, 20:34:41
per Rosenthal: Cubs acquiring Kevin Gausman - DanSaint August 2, 2026, 20:02:56
Gausman to Cubs* - OB25 August 2, 2026, 20:02:48
- Not a lot of fanfare for the Jays return - Carl Spackler Yesterday, 07:16:58
  - So... best case scenario for the Jays is Nick Madrigal and Doug Dascenzo?* - Tortillini Yesterday, 08:28:47
  - I would say so far the rumors of prices being expensive hasn't played out all - CanHartlebHireSnider Yesterday, 08:02:15
- For Brett Bateman and Ty Southisene - CanHartlebHireSnider August 2, 2026, 20:07:33
  - I looked up Southisene and thought to myself “Wow you don’t see a 20 Power grade often” - OB25 August 2, 2026, 20:18:54
    - Bateman went to Minnesota. Kane Kepley is a better version of him - CanHartlebHireSnider August 2, 2026, 20:49:21
- Bateman and Southisene per Mitch Bannon - DanSaint August 2, 2026, 20:07:20
- Gave up #13 and #21 prospects on MLB.com rankings, so not much of a price as expected. - OB25 August 2, 2026, 20:07:20
- Good. Have wanted him for years. Think the Cubs have too - CanHartlebHireSnider August 2, 2026, 20:04:40
  - talk is that they are going after 3 pitchers this deadline. Gausman slides into Rea's spot - DanSaint August 2, 2026, 20:06:07
    - Yeah Mooney reported they’re interested in adding 3 pitchers - CanHartlebHireSnider August 2, 2026, 20:10:43
      - if it were me, Holmes, Detmers or Soriano if you're wanting another starter and Sentzella from Col. - DanSaint August 2, 2026, 20:13:10
Josiah Hartshorn was pulled mid-game today for the South Bend Cubs. - Carl Spackler August 2, 2026, 17:38:12
- He wasn’t in the lineup yesterday - CanHartlebHireSnider August 2, 2026, 17:57:56
  - I think you could do a deal without him. To me, Hartshorn means it's a bigger name* - DanSaint August 2, 2026, 18:06:12
    - Detmers is probably the most valuable starter on the market and Urena is much more valuable - CanHartlebHireSnider August 2, 2026, 18:48:45
- if he's involved...not really a starter out there that goes there. Could it be a Mason Miller move? - DanSaint August 2, 2026, 17:48:10
Oh Nico, that was ball 4. Close enough to challenge in a huge spot* - Mrap24 August 2, 2026, 15:04:48
- Nico getting all the blame and much of it deserved, but the ump was ultimately at fault again. - OB25 August 2, 2026, 19:25:38
- Yeah I can’t believe he didn’t challenge that* - CanHartlebHireSnider August 2, 2026, 15:05:27
Great AB, Pete.* - Toonces August 2, 2026, 13:32:18
Rays acquire Freddy Peralta - DanSaint August 2, 2026, 12:56:37
- Three prospects, none of whom I am familiar with - bjl63 August 2, 2026, 13:25:16
  - That closes the book on yet another David Stearns trainwreck acquisition. - voiceofreason August 2, 2026, 17:25:04
Oh yeah I forgot the Dodgers are coming to town tomorrow. Skubal starting at Wrigley* - CanHartlebHireSnider August 2, 2026, 11:12:21
- Also the fact that the Tigers did this deal 30+ hours out from the deadline - CanHartlebHireSnider August 2, 2026, 11:49:54
Skubal to the Dodgers. Sucks. At least not Brewers I guess. lol that Zyhir Hope is the big piece* - CanHartlebHireSnider August 1, 2026, 22:37:50
- Really not fair that the Dodgers system is as loaded as it is. - OB25 August 1, 2026, 22:51:23
  - Every team could invest in player development. Many opt to be cheap - bjl63 August 1, 2026, 23:13:49
    - Ehhh that’s making it sound way too easy. Lots of teams are investing in player development. - Carl Spackler August 2, 2026, 06:29:53
      - I would wager they are investing quite a bit more than most. A sweetheart TV deal and Guggenheim - voiceofreason August 2, 2026, 10:37:52
  - Hope is interesting, but redundant for LAD. And, Ryan turns 28 in a few weeks - UofIL6 August 1, 2026, 22:56:21
    - I think pipeline overrates Hope a bit. I don’t think he’s gonna be that great in the field - CanHartlebHireSnider August 1, 2026, 23:03:19
      - LA has all the depth to make the deal - bjl63 August 1, 2026, 23:15:14
        
        I think they got hamstrung a bit by doing right by Tarik - CanHartlebHireSnider August 1, 2026, 23:18:09
        
        That’s bad business. You can “do right” and still hold out for more - bjl63 August 1, 2026, 23:21:41
        
        Yeah I believe 0% of this had to do with “doing right by Tarik” - Carl Spackler August 2, 2026, 06:32:02
        
        I think 0% is way too low a number - CanHartlebHireSnider August 2, 2026, 09:17:19
        
        0%. Should he “do right by the Tigers” and just sign a cheap extension then? - Carl Spackler August 2, 2026, 09:53:37
        
        same boat. "rentals" don't have the same value as they once did - DanSaint August 2, 2026, 07:44:03
        
        Like two days ago you had the Cubs giving up Matt Shaw and a top 100 prospect - CanHartlebHireSnider August 2, 2026, 08:56:56
    - I really don’t get the “oh my god baseball is officially dead” stuff on Twitter. - OB25 August 1, 2026, 23:00:05
  - I think Tarik probably wanted LA too - CanHartlebHireSnider August 1, 2026, 22:52:57
- Further proof expiring deals don’t have that much value* - bjl63 August 1, 2026, 22:49:15
- Man, LAD just grabs everyone* - UofIL6 August 1, 2026, 22:48:38
  - Further proof it’s a good idea to invest in player development* - bjl63 August 1, 2026, 22:49:52
- Also I’m curious if Hartshorn was held out for any actual reason* - CanHartlebHireSnider August 1, 2026, 22:40:50
Such a huge win. Needed it. Steal one tomorrow* - CanHartlebHireSnider August 1, 2026, 21:04:05
- Went down 2-1 and thought it was over. Nice win.* - Toonces August 1, 2026, 21:21:25
- Pedro Ramirez starts the rally. I’m buying all the stock in him, makes Shaw more expendable.* - OB25 August 1, 2026, 21:20:48
  - Yeah I’d be willing to part with either if a trade needs to get done - CanHartlebHireSnider August 1, 2026, 21:26:09
    - Definitely more upside with Shaw but that also means he’d bring back a better return. - OB25 August 1, 2026, 21:31:26
Yankees ran out of challenges and this ump has been unleashing bad calls on them since.* - Carl Spackler August 1, 2026, 21:00:39
- Two god awful challenges too* - CanHartlebHireSnider August 1, 2026, 21:04:32
Craig is great at leaving pitchers in too long - IlliniSax05 August 1, 2026, 20:08:48
Peterson continues to impress. Need to get Fried out of the game ASAP though, he’s locked in* - OB25 August 1, 2026, 19:01:01
Well in the long history of Cubs games, that was one of them. What a snoozer.* - OB25 July 31, 2026, 15:59:30
- Really sucks to not get that one with Cole and Fried on the bump this weekend - CanHartlebHireSnider July 31, 2026, 16:31:22
465' to center? That's Sammy territory.* - Warrin'_Illini July 31, 2026, 14:11:53
This dude is dealing* - opossum jenkins July 31, 2026, 14:02:22
Casey Mize scratched from his start today. - CanHartlebHireSnider July 31, 2026, 9:27:40
- Peralta also scratched after reporting earlier was he’d start* - CanHartlebHireSnider July 31, 2026, 13:30:46
I need 2nd half Bregman to be real* - CanHartlebHireSnider July 30, 2026, 16:21:41
- Nico seems like he's getting it together too.* - Warrin'_Illini July 30, 2026, 16:38:14
Good win, a split would have felt gross* - OB25 July 30, 2026, 16:20:10
If George Oferman is ro believed: - DanSaint July 30, 2026, 11:22:38
Late night Patrick Mooney article on Athletic reporting that Cubs are in the Skubal market - OB25 July 29, 2026, 22:29:29
- If they could get two really good relievers I could be convinced to prefer that over a SP - OB25 July 30, 2026, 11:14:16
  - I want Morejon but I’m not sure the Padres will sell - CanHartlebHireSnider July 30, 2026, 11:27:04
- My current prediction is Holmes and Weaver in a package deal - DanSaint July 30, 2026, 10:25:15
  - They are not trading all that for Clay Holmes and Luke Weaver* - CanHartlebHireSnider July 30, 2026, 10:29:24
    - Pitching is very expensive. Gonna cost more than you think * - DanSaint July 30, 2026, 10:46:20
    - Pitching is very expensive. Gonna cost more than you think * - DanSaint July 30, 2026, 10:46:14

      - Duplicate* - DanSaint July 30, 2026, 10:46:57
- I mean they absolutely should be. If they get elite pitching this roster is good enough - CanHartlebHireSnider July 29, 2026, 22:30:48
  - What does the inside of your post mean?* - Warrin'_Illini July 30, 2026, 9:14:11
    - Their POBO Scott Harris worked for the Cubs from 2012-2018 - CanHartlebHireSnider July 30, 2026, 9:21:19
      - And Skubal and Matthew Boyd are pretty close* - IlliniOllie July 31, 2026, 10:23:24
      - Nice, let's get it done!* - Warrin'_Illini July 30, 2026, 9:36:17
      - Should add their GM Jeff Greenberg also worked for the Cubs and Blackhawks* - CanHartlebHireSnider July 30, 2026, 9:23:49
    - the Tigers President (Harris) was assistant GM for the 2016 cubs. - Gene Parmesan July 30, 2026, 9:17:57

- I got to watch that in person. * - VIV July 29, 2026, 22:09:23
  - Did you go tarps off for PCA?* - Warrin'_Illini July 30, 2026, 10:51:28
- That’s a way to waste an awesome moment.* - OB25 July 29, 2026, 21:37:24
- That effing sucked. - tvillini July 29, 2026, 21:36:52
- Or not* - Carl Spackler July 29, 2026, 21:36:20

That’s now 4 really solid outings in 5 starts as a Cub for Peterson. - OB25 July 27, 2026, 22:20:59
I legit don’t think I’ve ever seen that before* - CanHartlebHireSnider July 27, 2026, 22:16:51
- Surprised it doesn't happen more.* - Carl Spackler July 27, 2026, 22:17:23
Taillon DFA. Had to happen* - CanHartlebHireSnider July 27, 2026, 15:33:39

Jameson Taillon get ready to speak Mexican League buddy.* - Toonces July 26, 2026, 15:07:24
Misiorowski perfect through 4 IP with 11 strikeouts on 12 batters* - OB25 July 26, 2026, 14:08:52
Not sure what his role/upside is, but I really like Pedro Ramirez.* - OB25 July 26, 2026, 13:38:14
Yeah thanks for playoff and down the stretch performance last year Jamo but this gotta be done - CanHartlebHireSnider July 26, 2026, 13:32:29
- Yeah, he’s done but they just don’t have a choice at this point (until they make a trade)* - Mrap24 July 26, 2026, 13:45:54
Just saw how bad Kyle Tucker has been, after being terrible for the second half of last season. - OB25 July 25, 2026, 22:53:51
- Who knows how much this is Crawford Boxes, but Paredes still good. - Carl Spackler July 26, 2026, 7:30:40

lol the Brewers are signing Bryse Wilson. Gonna be fun when he immediately adds 3 mph - CanHartlebHireSnider July 10, 2026, 9:56:57

Terrible 2 days but feels harsh when they were 15-5 in their last 20 before tonight - OB25 July 4, 2026, 23:04:28

It's better now. Why TF do they need to wait until 10:30? - IlliniSax05 July 4, 2026, 22:13:51

  - It should be Hoerner but he’s every bit as bad* - OB25 July 4, 2026, 21:19:44
    - Hoerner has been significantly worse than Bregman. The problem is there are no there options - CanHartlebHireSnider July 5, 2026, 10:28:24
      - Happ or Suzuki should be taking his spot* - CanHartlebHireSnider July 5, 2026, 10:29:51
    - And yet Craig has no issue moving him down in the lineup - IlliniSax05 July 4, 2026, 21:21:16
So Dansby was not only best value but best player of the big 4 SS of 2022-23 FA - CanHartlebHireSnider July 1, 2026, 16:05:31

Terrible send* - Mrap24 June 29, 2026, 22:16:41
- Against Miller I’m ok with it. That was a rocket of a throw* - OB25 June 29, 2026, 22:21:01
  - Agreed. Miller has a 50% K rate. That might’ve been the best chance to score - CanHartlebHireSnider June 29, 2026, 22:27:00
PCA’s evolution at the plate is remarkable - OB25 June 29, 2026, 21:16:11
- It's crazy, even when he started slow you could tell he was much more in control at the plate. - Warrin'_Illini June 30, 2026, 8:19:51
- Agreed. After his last 1/2 or so of last season plus the start this year I was worried - IlliniSax05 June 29, 2026, 21:30:02
Dammit Happ. You should have challenged 2 pitches earlier - IlliniSax05 June 29, 2026, 20:45:16

  - I think he ran, but is just slow. Brutal.* - Toonces June 28, 2026, 14:36:21

This fuckin bullpen... - IlliniSax05 June 26, 2026, 20:44:27

Ethan Roberts available today or still out? Be good to have another arm in the bullpen. - ibdoc April 29, 2026, 11:11:52
Good to see PCA hit one out yesterday. His approach has been better recently and has been making - Warrin'_Illini April 29, 2026, 10:22:55
- He's a big reason why the Cubs are 11-3 over the past two weeks - CanHartlebHireSnider April 29, 2026, 10:56:14
  - I just looked it up because it has felt like him and Busch are just constantly facing lefties - OB25 April 29, 2026, 12:22:21
    - Yeah this is actually where his defense is a detriment to his offense - CanHartlebHireSnider April 29, 2026, 12:24:10

Jfc now Dansby hurt. At least the Cubs can kind of solve that internally with Shaw* - CanHartlebHireSnider April 28, 2026, 21:10:33

Whoa!* - CanHartlebHireSnider April 24, 2026, 23:47:37
It took great plays both times but the aggressive sends sure haven’t worked tonight.* - OB25 April 24, 2026, 23:32:33
- Bad send. I’d rather 2nd and 3rd one out - CanHartlebHireSnider April 24, 2026, 23:34:49
- And damn that throw in by Pages really was absurd* - OB25 April 24, 2026, 23:33:13
That is one of the craziest plays I’ve seen by Nico* - CanHartlebHireSnider April 24, 2026, 23:19:13
I legit don’t think I’ve ever seen the awarded base for throwing over 3 times - CanHartlebHireSnider April 24, 2026, 23:15:58

  - This hasn’t really been true. His career as a starter hitters him better 1st time than 2nd time - CanHartlebHireSnider April 22, 2026, 21:08:43
- Need him to be with the Cubs injuries. Lot of potential there* - CanHartlebHireSnider April 22, 2026, 20:42:03

lol Nico leveling up* - CanHartlebHireSnider April 21, 2026, 20:47:04
Every inning is Busch or PCA vs a lefty with risp and 2 outs* - CanHartlebHireSnider April 21, 2026, 20:28:36

- Perfect example of my biggest gripe with Mendoza. The moment is always too big for him - voiceofreason April 19, 2026, 22:19:13
It would be nice if the division would lose. Cubs and Brewers tied in last place at 12-9 haha* - CanHartlebHireSnider April 19, 2026, 16:10:23
- Would be tied for leading the whole AL right now and overall third in run differential - RVA April 19, 2026, 16:17:23
  - I think the Pirates are probably pretty good and the Reds made the playoffs last year - CanHartlebHireSnider April 19, 2026, 16:18:27
Very satisfying win. Wtf Mets.* - Toonces April 19, 2026, 16:09:04

PCA only 4/7 on stolen base attempts isn’t great.* - OB25 April 19, 2026, 14:31:55
it's very early and I have no delusions that they'll keep it up...but Cards are fun to watch - DanSaint April 18, 2026, 21:15:27
stearns was all about run prevention. who would’ve thought he meant his own team’s offense.* - Ari Gold April 18, 2026, 19:04:55
I would be apoplectic right now were I a Mets fan with their start* - Carl Spackler April 18, 2026, 15:59:43
- I’d be more upset that they felt they needed Craig Kimbrel* - bjl63 April 18, 2026, 16:57:25
  - i was shocked he's still in the league. than glad the mets have him so the cubs aren't tempted* - torinese April 18, 2026, 17:01:21
- We are used to failure. The only difference now is the extreme amount of money being spent to do it. - voiceofreason April 18, 2026, 16:31:13
Thielbar getting 1st crack at saves while Palencia is on IL? - DanSaint April 18, 2026, 15:54:06

Thank god for the Mets.* - Toonces April 17, 2026, 15:57:49
