MLB: ***Official 2018 Chicago Cubs Season Thread***

[BigJCy]

And now Darvish spitting the bit it appears

Nice to give that lead right back.

 

[ISUAlum2002]

Just like so many Cubs teams of years past - get a few runs to take the lead, give 'em all back in the next half inning. Wonder if there are stats showing how often a team gives up runs immediately after getting runs. Figure the Cubs have to be near the top of that list.

I would guess the team that's won 292 games over the last three years is probably not near the top of that list.

A team can still win a lot of games and be near the top of that list.

I would guess they aren't, you just watch them more Confirmation bias.

 

[CycloneErik]

Not a double play. That was nice.

Zobrist with another good AB.

 

[CycloneErik]

Pretty cool to see that big hit go down the line after all the close ones going foul over there this series.
Bryant and Rizzo clearing the bases is nice. We still waste so many baserunners, but those guys had some big hits tonight.

Take the W anytime you can get it but still not really liking how we are playing. Only 3 games in though.

Undefeated when we score 9 or more.
Winless when we score under 9.
I'm sure that's how the stat will work out all year.

It's especially not good vs AAA Marlins.

We play crap teams like the first 15 games. Should give us some time to get rolling.

 

[CycloneErik]

Too many blown opportunities will cost us a win here.
Should have been a runaway early.

The lack of execution is so frustrating

 

[Cyched]

Ugh

 

[ClonesTwentyOne]

So frustrating to watch this offense struggle with all the talent. I don't get it.

 

[chuckd4735]

Need to destroy this depleted bullpen...

 

[JP4CY]

Len with some staggering numbers on how bad the Marlins attendance is.
Jeter and the other owners have their work cut out.

They made some good notes early questioning why the Marlins "needed" to be torn down in order to win.
That outfield was ready to win right now. It wouldn't have been that difficult to build a winner with what they already had.

Disappointing split
