What was the most disappointing aspect of the Cubs' series loss to the Rangers?
What was the most disappointing aspect of the Cubs' series loss to the Rangers in Texas?
It was Saturday. It was the Saturday game where you had 50 million billion people in scoring position, and yet you couldn't get anybody across. It wasn't even Sunday. Jacob deGrom is occasionally going to do things. He's going to go on one. That was vintage Jacob deGrom. As somebody who likes pitching, it was fun to watch, except it was against the Cubs. So it was the fact that they were 0 for 13 with runners in scoring position that Edward Cabrera labored in his start to a point that may make you worried. And when the offense goes cold, it went real cold. And to have back-to-back shutouts, probably the most disappointing, but it was Saturday's game as a whole.
I think the most disappointing thing about this is to see that the offense couldn't scratch things across. And I'm not saying that I'm disappointed they lost two games in a row. That's going to happen from time to time. But you've got to be able to come up with better results with runners in scoring position. To go 0-17 over the course of two games, it's giving me flashbacks to our Vegas trip when we were like, will the Cubs ever push across a run with runners in scoring position? Remember how they were playing that week when we headed to Vegas?
When I wasted my pool time and I sat in the cabana at the pool yelling at the TV and shaking my fist.
Yeah, I look at the Cubs and... You've got to be better at creating something out of these opportunities. Now look, 0 for 13 and 0 for 4 in back-to-back games is bad, but it's just the number of opportunities. 17 different ones. I'm not as concerned about Edward Cabrera right now. It's one outing. Hopefully it's just kind of a dead arm period like I talked about where he can bounce back, get his arm right, get his mechanics how they need to look to be good going forward because they need him. Edward Cabrera has to have good starts for the Cubs. He has to be able to keep the Cubs in games. And when I say keep the Cubs in games, I mean three runs or less when he starts.
We're wrapping him in bubble wrap.
Isn't everyone in bubble wrap if you throw for the Cubs right about now?
Well, three guys are on the fritz.
Yeah.
Three out of your expected five.
And Jamison Tyone.
Jamo had a good game on Saturday.
He did not give up a Tyone.
Yeah, or Sunday. And it gets lost in the shuffle. Sunday, he had a good performance, and we don't even get to talk about it.
Five on it.
Number two. Who is the MVP of the White Sox series win over the Mariners?
I got to go with Davis Martin. Second lowest ERA now in baseball. That is quite impressive work. It's one thing to win a sexy 9-8 ball game. I love them. I love points and runs and all the things that they imply. But action. You know, a lot of action. But for those of us who like to live on the edge of stressful life and like to wonder how a one nothing lead is going to play out and you want to know how a 243 foot ball could somehow end up scoring a run. I don't think you can do any of that if your pitching isn't working. And Davis Martin absolutely was just another outstanding performance out of him. And his ERA is now a buck 62. So first pitch strikes were working. For me, it was Davis Martin.
For me, it's definitely going to be Miguel Vargas. Miguel Vargas, four for nine in the series, a two-home run day on Saturday and a six-to-one win. He had a double and drove in a run in a game in which the White Sox won two-to-one on Sunday. It's Miguel Vargas. And I like that he's starting to emerge now as one of these three players who you can depend on in the White Sox offense. And the link to all those guys, and then whether or not Chase Mydroth or... Sam Antonacci or Andrew Benintendi hits in front or behind them, it feels like a lineup is starting to stretch itself out where you had like that one spot in the lineup where, okay, this is where the Sox can do damage. There seems to be a bigger window of opportunity for the Sox to do damage.
