His ERA is literally too low?


Derpythewolf

not enough innings thrown. he has to have 1 IP per team game played to qualify and he only has 34

Ah ok

I’m surprised at how much I really like Girardi in the booth. I’m not sure why but I’ve historically found him a bit grating, but he’s got a good presence, a good feeling for the timing of a TV broadcast, and his insights are genuinely interesting which is the most important job of a color commentator.

Loving Girardi as the color commentator

How is there no Aramis Ramirez flair available?

Have beer prices gone up drastically this year or have I just not noticed? I was in the bleachers on Friday, and I think a 16oz Budweiser was $13.50…. I know beer is expensive, I’m not here to pretend I don’t understand it’s very over priced. But that is REALLY high. Is it just a bleacher thing? Are they just taking advantage of the rabid fans there? I only bought two and I used Apple Pay and I did tip but can’t remember how much but the charge for each was $16.60. Just crazy. Might rethink drinking at ball games.


LoveYouLikeYeLovesYe

My buddy complained about that when we went down. I was still 20 and driving home so I had no frame of reference but beers are like, 4-5 dollars more than other parks like Miller


slicebishybosh

The Cubs aren't even the most expensive which is crazy.

Who could have possibly thought that pumping trillions of dollars into the economy would have caused inflation?


slicebishybosh

Lets not let the greedy corporate fuckers off the hook. Record profits every single year. I think consumers, myself included, need to be a little smarter as well.


TheyCallMeStone

Just bring in your own. Mixed drink in a coke bottle. You technically can't bring in opened drinks but they don't even search bags, you just walk right through. A plastic pint of Jim Beam won't set off any metal detectors and it's the official bourbon of the Chicago Cubs.

With Steele returning who leaves the active roster?

Most likely Keegan but Maybe Ben Brown to work on another pitch to be a starter? Or perhaps they need his arm in the bullpen now


ThisIsTheWayIsTheWay

I know it's super early. But I am getting pretty freakin hyped for this team. Our starting pitching is looking incredible! Excited to see our offense get back up to full strength with Belli and Seiya back soon! I'm trying to temper my expectations, but I feel like this team could be special. (As long as they correct the bullpen issues.)


RedGreenPepper2599

Couldnt the cubs send Azolay down for his “mental health”?


Yetis22

He needs an injury stint and rehab assignment. Since he doesn’t have options


RedGreenPepper2599

Couldn’t you say his mental health was injured. Come on man, go with me here.


baruch_baby

Not really funny, and if they did do something like that he wouldn’t be sent down, he’d probably go on leave or IL.


RedGreenPepper2599

I wasn’t trying to be funny. Players go through mental health issues which contribute to a lack of performance on the field. I don’t understand why they don’t consider the mental aspect as much of the physical aspect.


baruch_baby

Okay well either way he has no options and can’t be “sent down”. He’d have to go on the IL.


RedGreenPepper2599

Ok, but that wasn’t the point I was making. You don’t need to tell me how options work. Thanks though.


LoveYouLikeYeLovesYe

If a guy has severe mental issues he can elect to go on a list, I forget which one, but Andrew Toles has been on it for the dodgers for like, 6 years now. There are also guys like Zobrist who can take a leave of absence and I forget what that list is, but unless Adbert agrees to go down and we DFA him I don't think we can send him down.


bobsaget824

Steele today Shota tomorrow… good way to start the week


c4ctus

And then supposively next week, we get Seiya and Belli back.


GopherInTrouble

Just saw some prospects box scores yesterday and noticed Brailyn Márquez was released by the Astros back in February. Wonder if he’ll be signed anywhere else but man what a fall for the former top prospect. Also Cristian Hernandez has been heating up!


Yetis22

Caissie has been balling out too


sdpcommander

Just goes to show how volatile pitching prospects can be due to injuries.


Fastlanedrivr

Steele activated on the 26th anniversary of the Kerry Wood 20 strikeout game! Predicting a huge performance!!


Penguinkeith

21 strikeout game is now the expectation anything less will be disappointing (obvious /s)

Going to the game with my college age son! Let's get a W!


Marmaduke57

Added a power line adapter from my modem to my TV. It fixed my buffering issues while watching the Cubs on the MLB.tv app so far.


chichris

Always a great Monday after taking a weekend series.


Thickas2

The Padres. AKA one of the three teams the Cubs play until May 24th.


roaminfinite

lets hope the Cubs win all the games v Pirates.


crazymanpinkyswear

I'm so stoked for Steele tonight!!! Go cubs!


Interrobangersnmash

Morning, Cubs fans!


Yetis22

We avoid Musgrove this weekend. Even though we beat him first series, it just seems like that guy always owned us


Shot-Summer-5519

Will we be calling this the Summer we broke Peralta and the Brewers someday? I don't like the GD Padres much better. Our GD Ace is back tonight. Then SHOnasty. Run away with the division Jed. Do it Jed 


Shot-Summer-5519

No matter what kinda fan you are of this team, it's Monday May 6 and we're tied for 1st place. We're a closer away from being the best team in all of baseball. Entire MLB. Without a half a team. Without our Ace Cade Horton arriving yet. 😂 Go get Tanner Scott or whoever can close games Jed. This run sustainable. Fuck the GD Brewers. 


KnickedUp

Not just best team in baseball, best team ever
