Do people actually like it? Does anyone say "oh, good, here's Joe Buck and some of the most insipid trialog that often just ignores the game and even the teams playing. Give me more?" I refuse to believe they do but I also refuse to think even ESPN/ABC/Disney lacks that level of introspection

Sydin posted:I'll be honest I liked the idea of the balanced schedule on paper because I was sick of playing the loving Cardinals 19 times a year but now that we actually have it I feel like it's kinda lame. It's more fun when they're both vying for playoffs which hasn't felt like a realistic thing for a while. 2019? I remember the last game I went to at Wrigley was that year and it was the September game where Kimbrel hosed everything up in the 9th and that's when it really felt like all the magic was gone for me (also the last WGN game) DemihumanResources fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Mar 28, 2025 |

Timmy Age 6 posted:The Colorado Rockies have played one game and are 0-1. They are 2.5 games out of first place already. ![]() I'm actually fond of the Rockies for nostalgia purposes due to the fact they somehow are the team I have seen most live due to a combination of 90s family vacations to Colorado, business travel, and them randomly being in town for the teams I have lived near. Once Dexter Fowler joined the Cubs he was probably locked in to be the player I'll see most live for my lifetime. DemihumanResources fucked around with this message at 13:37 on Mar 29, 2025 |

Maybe I'm stupid, but it is almost 11AM in Chicago and the Tribune does not have an article for last night's game up. Sun-Times does and has for several hours. Is it normal for local newspapers to just not give a gently caress at this level anymore? (I know the Tribune is bad and has gotten worse, but this is newspaper 101 stuff)

This Cubs schedule is the most dogshit thoughtless thing I've ever seen for a team with a fanbase their size. NL west all month? Have them come home for a couple series and then head out west again? Two loving Padres series in two weeks? Like, six games that start at a normal person time for the first three weeks IGNORING THE OVERSEAS SERIES? Who the gently caress wants to see any of that?

I baffled how reading the news from the Cubs game has takeaways like "Ben needs to be better" after giving up 6 runs and "bats go quiet". Ben gave up 6 which is extra lovely, but he could have given up 1 run, you wouldn't be talking about him because *you still lost the loving game* because the bullpen gave up 4 runs in two innings. and your offense scored four loving runs on 8 loving hits which is about league loving average for a game Why is the bullpen not fired into the sun? Does Chicago collectively have bullpen blindness? I feel like I'm losing my mind.

Bregor posted:Ben’s stuff clearly faded but he also got BABIP’d like a motherfucker. Multiple grounders just out of reach for Dansby, seeing eye pop ups, etc. It happens sometimes when you don’t have your put away pitch working. I’ve been happy with his development so far so I hope he gets a few more turns at least. I won't argue with that. I agree with what you're saying, and I'll add this bullpen is far below average and I think the weakest link to this team doing something meaningful this year.
