He not only left on his own accord, but went to the turd funguses of STL. Im not sure what the cubs offered him vs the Cards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a point in my life where that would be my reaction but what the Cubs did basically starting in 2019 moving forward all my angst is towards ownership and Jed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super random but the Tigers pitching coach is the older brother of one of my good friends from growing up. You a fan of him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty good mix. He's having a heckuva game too. My angst over the whole thing is Ricketts related not the player. Ricketts wanted to play Monopoly in Wrigleyville.....he did....but with $2Billion in cost overruns the organization just tanked for 2-3 years. Won't ever forget that BS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tigers have been so bad the last few years I've kind of fallen out of the loop in regards to who's on the staff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted May 9, 2023 Report Share Posted May 9, 2023 The Cubs have scored the most runs in the division (169), and have given up the fewest (125)... Yet stand a game under .500 in 3rd place 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet stand a game under .500 in 3rd place 🤔 28-3 I think was total of at Oakland series. That skews some of the stats. Our bullpen management has resulted in at least 4 losses/blown saves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oakland is last in saves with 4. Colorado is last in save opportunities with 8. TBH, I really don't know how to interpret the info I just presented. Texas stands at 21-13 with 6 saves in 11 opportunities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWatShot Posted May 11, 2023 Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 I think the Tigers finally found a team that has a worse offense. Moved up to #29 in runs scored after taking two of three from Cleveland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted May 11, 2023 Report Share Posted May 11, 2023 Reds beat the Mets 5-0, scoring 4 runs in the first. Reds had 4 pitchers combine for the 6 hot shutout. Went completely with bullpen guys today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted May 12, 2023 Report Share Posted May 12, 2023 I assume tbe Twins are now regretting the trade for Tyler Mahle. He is going to have Tommy John hm surgery and will be out for a year. They traded 3 guys to the Reds including Steer who is doing well for the Reds and Encarscion-Strand one of our top prospects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted May 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2023 (edited) More ESPN Power Ranking fun. Still have the Cards ranked ahead of the Reds (Cincy is 25th). But, my favorite part of this week's ranking is the intro to the St. Louis write-up. A 3-7 record in the last 10 is 'righting the ship'?

That means they gained 2 games on the Pirates in the last 10 games they are 1-9 and Brewers are 2-8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
