07/22 Arizona (Petit) @ CUBS (Marshall) 1:20pm, CSN TV

[Brian]

When is the last time the Cubs get out an attempted base stealer? Not on a pickoff or a pitchout, but an actual stolen base attempt.

 

probably blanco

[BigSlick]

Is there any doubt the Cubs need a bat and not a starting pitcher?

 

IMO, no...especially given the starters that are available for acquisition.

 

LOL You have got to be kidding.

 

Just my opinion...who's realistically available that would be a clear upgrade as a SP?

 

I'm 800x confused, you just said that you wanted a starter, but then you said you didn't want one?

[Brian]

yeah I think he read soccer's post wrong, and actually agrees with him

[BigSlick]

Pretty embarrassing to be shut down by Owings and Petit on back to back days.

 

...and yet, we had no trouble beating up on Brandon Webb.

 

Yeesh.

 

Isn't it obvious? We are amazing against Aces, and purely terrible against scrapheap, Quad A starters.

Sigh... The original question asked was is there any doubt we need a bat rather than a SP. My answer was "no", there is no doubt--meaning: we need a bat, NOT a SP..

OH my bad, I read this all wrong.

[Brian]

crap

[UMFan83]

Why are the Diamondbacks still trying to score? One run is enough

[abuck1220]

and people think murton can't handle rf defensively?

[BigSlick]

The impossible feat: Beating the Diamondbacks in a series.

 

Corollary: When the Brewers are doing badly, especially

[JimSorgi]

This stinks. I'm gonna go take a shower. Hopefully when I get out the Cubs will have scored a run.

[Outshined_One]

Trade Kendall, Jock, and Floyd.

 

Call up Soto, Pie, and Murton.

 

I don't see how the three young guys would be any worse than those three at this point in time. Floyd's a stiff in RF who no longer hits for any power.

Better stay for a couple of days then.

[CoolHandLuke]

Wow, was that bad.

[Keener98]

That was just brutal by Jenkins

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

This game sucks all around. Hopefully, they'll remember how to hit by the time they get to St. Louis.

[BigSlick]

10 bucks says they score 2 runs before the game is over. Just to make it interesting and to give us all a kick in the nuts.

That was pretty bad.

I doubt it, they cant hit worthless pitchers. We need Carp to come back so we can hit him

[Flames24Rulz]

Well, there's a break.

[Brian]

having to face Kip Wells scares the crap out of me.

 

 

 

Anybody want to break into Wrigley with me and steal the robo cam, it's completely useless.

I dont see how well Cliff plays RF has to do with how well Matt plays RF. Matt didnt play well in RF. Maybe hes better since getting starts in Iowa but in the majors he wasnt very good.
