I hope he’s back next year.

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I stopped watching. I never thought I’d willingly turn off a Cubs playoff game, but here we are.

021

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Somebody get the garbage cans.

000

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Probably wishes he had the last several weeks back. What in the world.

010

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

He looked safe on the second replay if he held the bag.

Pat just called it a tainted record. MLB needs to ban the silliness of position players pitching till at least the ninth inning.

110

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

Listening now. When all these dudes were getting traded away yesterday, I was, like, ”Greg Huss needs to tell me what to think.” 😂

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

The story of the game is Nico not challenging a bases loaded 3-0 pitch that was called a strike but very clearly was ball 4.

110

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

That is unforgivable. The Cubs have two challenges. That was ball 4. Even if you’re wrong, it’s completely reasonable to challenge on a borderline pitch that ties the game. And that was not even borderline.

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

Who’s caping for owners? Both can be true: Other teams (like the Cubs) aren’t spending enough and the Dodgers have more money than anyone.

000

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

Tigers are cooked this season. What they can guarantee is getting a big return for two months of Skubal. They can’t guarantee he’d have signed with them in free agency.

100

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

As a Cubs fan who likes Busch, I can still be irritated the Cubs didn’t so much as have a conversation with Freddie Freeman in free agency. And got outbid by the Red Sox for Alex Bregman. If they did those deals, they never needed to trade a haul of prospects and MLB talent for Tucker and Busch.

000

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

They can, and I think the Brewers did. But that ignores that the Dodgers can do a trade like this for a rental without impacting their future cause they can vastly outspend Milwaukee.

210

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

In an alternate universe, the Cubs sign Alex Bregman (prior to the 2025 season) and Freddie Freeman, and they have the prospect capital to trade for Skubal.

000

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

No one has the Dodgers’ legacy cable deal. Not to mention their sweetheart deal with MLB that exempts millions from revenue sharing. Let’s not pretend small-market teams, misers as they may be, can compete with that.

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

Jamo always seemed like an exemplary teammate and person. He pitched some important innings for this ball club, including last year’s playoffs. And he had some dominant stretches too. It’s too bad it didn’t work out.

010

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

I’ve been thoroughly entertained by all the drunk interviews today.

120

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

I turned it off after they stranded a runner at 3b with no outs two innings in a row. I have a low tolerance for lousy baseball these days. Can’t waste a perfectly nice Friday night.

000

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Wow. They weren’t lying when they said they wanted to draft pitching.

010

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

Respectfully, this was a bad call on Seiya’s hit.

This is so shocking and sad.

010

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

I’m shook. Bulls games won’t be the same.

030

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

Why is Maton pitching ANY meaningful innings at this point?

210

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

I commend you for continuing to watch. I haven’t watched a full game since Monday.

000

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

And yet is the only Cubs pitcher who didn’t give up a run. 😂

010

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

Holy shit, the AL sucks right now.

010

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

It looks like Sox fans flexed back on the ensuing deep fly ball at the wall that Pete couldn’t quite glove. 😂

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 16/05/2026

Speaking of Jordan, how do you feel about Wicks coming up to help the big league club? His last outing seemed impressive. But it feels like he’d serve the team better as a starting pitcher than a reliever.

110

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

Someone should have told the Dbacks that’s not the best strategy!

020

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

I want Jed to extend Ian Happ YESTERDAY! Cub for life, please. 🙏🏼

010

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

Shaw‘s 2b defense yesterday immediately made me miss Nico. We’re spoiled having Dansby and Nico up the middle. Two plus shortstops.

050

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

Yeah. I don’t understand what he was thinking. Any option was better than that. Even just eating it. If he waited back on third base, he’d have the force out.

121

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

Even Tucker’s walkoffs are boring. 😴

000

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

That little boo boo cost the Cubs the lead and likely the game. This 2 out strike 3 pitch was called a ball in the 5th. The Padres went on to score two runs.

000

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

But people will tell you good LF defense is overrated. Dare I say one or both of Machado’s doubles would have been outs at 2b if Happ was in left field.

320

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

I mean, the Cubs let Boyd challenge pitches and that fucked us over big time in the 5th.

120

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

Too bad Craig is asleep tonight. No way in hell Busch should have gotten that PA with PCA at 3b and only 1 out. A strikeout was as predictable as the sun rising tomorrow.

000

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

Boyd shouldn’t have been in there against Machado to begin with.

120

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

He did his job, really. Game should be over if not for an errant throw by Kingery.

110

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 19/04/2026

Isn’t he talking shit to the Mets fan?

000

chris @chrispapa.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

Conforto 136 wRC+. $2 million. Tucker 99 wRC+. $60 million. Go, Cubs.
