2015: The Back To The Future Season

[R-V]

I don't think he's quite splooge-thread worthy yet but Miguel Montero over the last two weeks is hitting .296/.355/.630/.984 with 3 homers and he's a good catcher and he's funny on the twitter so I like him so far. Welington is also holding up his end of the platoon with a .958 OPS vs. lefties so far.

Goddammit, David Ross.

Hey - baby steps - at least they're no longer carrying 13 pitchers. Now we're just one David Ross stumbling into a manhole from a regular roster.

David Ross will go on a weird hitting tear this year and you'll all be grabbing any which publication you can find to hide your confused boners. I can't wait.

I think he's basically already done this, at least by his standards.

Five games over .500, female doges

Five games over .500, female doges

I used to do this thing where I'd hold up my hand in the mirror when the Cubs got five games over five hundred and count the number of days I could go without being worried about their record. When they'd get to 10, two hands. Yes, I'm a total fucking loser when nobody is around. The things I do with my hands are horribly gross.

But I did the thing with the hand last night after "we" got to five games over. It felt stupid and now I hate myself.

No I do something similar. I mean, not the weird fucking hand thing you need help pal but I still love you, but I do count games over .500 in terms of "hey a losing streak bad enough to drop them to below .500 seems more unlikely every passing day!" because this is what life has conditioned me to think. Go Cubs!

3 games up for Wild Card qualification.

Cubs have the 6th best OBP in all of baseball.
They have the 2nd most Stolen Bases in all of baseball.
They have the 8th most walks in all of baseball.

I have no idea how we ended up here, but here we are.

You've been posting non-stop in the Epstink thread for 3 goddamn years and you have no idea how we got here?

Jesus, Pen.

If we want to talk about how I got here, specifically, it's probably going to end up with counseling.

A winning month of April...I don't know what to feel.

Happy is a good start.

Yea, but we have David Ross, a failed first round draft pick hurt in AA, and no where to put Vogelbach. Rough times

Yeah, but the staff has the top K/BB rate in the majors at 4.4, Kris Bryant has an OPS of 1.818 against pitches that are 94+ mph (lg. avg. is .696), Castro's hitting .478 (11/23) against non-fastballs the past two weeks (lg. avg. is .229), and the Cubs actually lead the MLB in drawing leadoff walks at 11.6% (20 BB in 173 PAs; lg. avg. is 7.3%).

Don't try and temper my positive with your insincerity.

Maybe "I don't know how to feel" wasn't the right words...

"I don't know what I'm feeling" any better? As in winning hasn't been a thing in some time.
