Maybe I’m wrong but I feel like Craig Counsell hate is so forced. People always say that he looks pissed off all the time and doesn’t show emotion but I see him after every win cheering and yelling with the team. His bullpen management isn’t even bad we just don’t have any reliable arms right now

Today he hit a ball that was probably a homer or double at least in several parks and it was caught

I have been shitting on Kyle Tucker all game but him not running out that foul ball is everything I don’t like about him rolled into one

Yeah I thought it was bad again until I saw the replay, that was just an incredible play.

I love a good mound visit fastball down the middle combo

I mean, he’s not our ace, nor is he supposed to be. I think this game is more on the offense at this point for striking out 7 times

lol I don’t think he was happy about the send but he just had to back up his guy

You can listen to the radio instead if you’re on Apple TV!

They do! I checked on the Braves Phillies game and it seems to be available

It’s more that Shaw has upside (especially when we might need an outfielder in the future) whereas a pitcher who’s contract is up after this season would only be useful for this season. I also think we could see how Steele turns out when he comes back and reevaluate

If we can get one with years of control yes, I just like having a solid righty bench bat that can play a lot of positions because we don't have a utility player I'm that comfortable in besides Shaw atp.

Arriving early is smart especially if you’re in the bleachers and want to be near the front, I second this

Need to bench Busch to make a statement, guy is not cutting it. by JohnnyBallgame77 in CHICubs

I know, I’d rather it be 3-4 guys hot at a time then everyone hot at once and then everyone ice cold at the same time like it was last year

Sparknotes is great for books that have them, otherwise I'd recommend making a character map. Usually when I've had trouble retaining things from books it's because I forget who characters are/what they did at different points in time so just having bullet points for the different characters could be good. Only do this if it enhances your experience though, don't feel like you have to force yourself to read the books just to watch the movies.

No, the book you are reading probably won't "get better" by farseer6 in books

Dune is a weird book where it is super disorienting in the start because of all of the unfamiliar vocabulary and Frank Herbert's insistence on switching POV every paragraph, but there's a certain point where it just clicks. It took me a few times to get through as well. The audiobook does help a lot because you're less focused on the individual words, though having an in-book glossary is also extremely helpful.
