6/30 Astros (Happ) @ Cubs (Garza) 3:05 pm CDT, WGN

[C.C.]

Rizzo get a freaking hit! Same with Castro. You guys are the future for godsakes.

 

Remember when you said this?

 

Castro followed with an RBI single and Rizzo hit a two-run homer.

 

They ain't our future, son. They are the present.

 

Small sample dad.

 

Yeah, Castro hasn't done this before.

 

Go outside and play football with the other kids.

 

Don't like soccer.

[PrimeTime]

Well, no Soriano to Baltimore hopes anymore. They just traded for Thome.

[Geech]

Do you guys remember when Garza seemed like a really good pitcher?

Apparently the on-field staffer who retrieved Rizzo's HR ball didn't realize it was his 1st and tossed it into the stands. #Cubs

This is weird, because you don't normally say stupid things.

[C.C.]

Agreed.

That might be more impressive if more than one of those starts was longer than six innings.

Go outside and play in traffic.

He's not having the kind of season we hoped. A lot more like pre-2011 Garza than the 2011 version we hoped we'd see from now on. It's kinda quiet and no one wants to talk about it.

[C.C.]

Awful.

last year his home run rate was fluky low and this year it's fluky high. there's not all that much difference between 2011 and 2012 matt garza that luck can't explain.

[C.C.]

Great point. Why the hate?

[El Duderino]

garza's whip is actually the lowest of his career by far. dont know what his babip is like though

Barney is so slow

Fire him.

Rizzo hit a home run last year. This home run shouldn't have much significance.

It's his first as a Cub. I'm sure he wants to have it. In fact, he looked a little annoyed in the dugout afterward and I was thinking it might've had something to do with the ball (before seeing that Tweet).

[PrimeTime]

Marmol throwing 95,96 fastball then finish off the the slider. Vintage stuff.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

last year his home run rate was fluky low and this year it's fluky high. there's not all that much difference between 2011 and 2012 matt garza that luck can't explain.

 

His xFIP is almost half a run higher after today.

 

I don't think this is what anyone was hoping for out of Garza after a 5.0 fWAR season.
