Cubs’ fans at least had 3 straight NLCS, 2016, even 2018 and 2020 were. 5 postseasons in 6 years, depending on how you look at the 2018 debacle of an ending. We can’t even get past the Indians when they’re spending $80+ million less, lowest payroll in the majors by far.

They’ll talk to Jose and TA like they used to with Konerko, AJ, Dye and Thome back in the day and claim we have the horses to get us there with Eloy coming back...

Except crowing about Rodon...and how many first rounders were in that game, not counting TA, Burger, Fulmer and Crochet. Reds beat the Indians 3-2 in tenth.

Liam Hendriks is warming up why?

Collins has a 486 ops right now, yikes.

Vaughn got a quite generous single there...at .160, he’s automatically in the lineup tmrw. Well, I guess TLR will start everyone no matter what in a DHer.

They at least know how to make and especially spend money...not so great at choosing GM’s in the #metoo era, either.

Then you have the never burn high-leverage relievers in games you’re trailing axiom. Could just see that coming a mile a mile away with either Ruiz or Foster coming in.

If they are going to stick with TLR, the only way is if they gut the front office. Even that won’t pacify the fans for long. It will get really ugly...everyone is going to pick sides to assess blame.

They were unlikely to mount a rally against Barnes, but Eaton’s also lost a couple of steps in RF as well.

2020-21 sucks for myriad reasons except for that 32-15 start, no no and Giolito/Crochet/Robert in the postseason.

Mlb extra innings or mlb.tv? Looks like they’re going to extras. Naylor has never had a defined defensive position because he’s just not that good no matter where you stick him.

At least the Reds are mounting a late comeback against the Indians. There used to be a time 2-3 years ago where the White Sox would consistently challenge late, too.

Grand slam here? Not an easy situation for Ruiz here, but it is what it is.

Collins got crossed up, expecting offspeed pitch, barely caught it.

Not even “Hanigar the Horrible” would help right now...Haniger would be leaving first place for last, haha. With Lewis, Kelenic and Rodriguez coming, the M’s could start to make things interesting, but losing Paxton so early was a huge blow.

Not without Jimenez, 2019 Moncada and 2020 Abreu.

Not sure if I would go to Foster here though. We don’t have Burdi, right? We get an extra guy tmrw.

Then you leave Heuer out to dry or burn another reliever...like Ruiz.

TLR isn’t really going to let Vaughn hit against Barnes, is he?

Check their investment histories, lol...almost as entertaining as the Cowboy Joe West, Paul Lo Duca lawsuit that West just won for $500k.

Very simple to have overhead cams that directly track the pitch its entire path across the plate...then you simply need to paint an electronic zone for top and bottom vertically. Can have two people monitoring simultaneously.

Marwin Gonzalez? There’s the thing about Heuer, it shouldn’t be that easy to take out a high fastball unless you were just sitting on pitch and location.

You’re not going to win against Boston with only 3 hitters in your lineup with over a 700 ops. The Dodgers and Padres struggle to find more than a couple of hitters to insert with less than that same number.

Which is why Hendriks wasn’t a top 5 need...oops, well, let’s see if Yermin can make another set of adjustments now.
