  1. Seiya getting two bad reads might’ve temporarily wiped *two* runs off the board: if he’d gotten to third on the blooper PCA might’ve been at second and both could’ve scored on Nico’s ball.

    edit: make that *permanently*, not temporarily

  2. Just going to cut Boog off when he was talking about the recent trends of pitching managers.

    That was rude.

  3. Strider was amazing in ’22 and ’23, but has been just a guy since his elbow injury.

    He got TJ in mid-April of 2024 so the rehab from that really should be over and done with.

  4. Castro can play a bunch of positions. The problem is that he has a wRC+ of 27 as a Cub, so you can’t actually start him at those spots without giving up a lot.

  5. I would love to not make the playoffs and just get this season over with. The regression from pre ASG is too much for me to handle daily.

  6. The offense failing to deliver a knockout blow either time the bases were loaded means that the tying run is in the batter’s box.
