Poor WSR. :(

[UMFan83]

Who knew that Paul Maholm, Geo Soto, Reed Johnson and Ryan Dempster were keeping this team afloat (relatively speaking). Haven't won since they were traded.

[Theo]

How freakin shitty do you have to be as a pitcher to give up 7 runs in PETCO? lol awful. At least we don't have to hear WSR pontificate about Raley anymore.

[Sammy Sofa]

lol yeah

[El Duderino]

Len's hot tonight.

[Little Slide Rooter]

We should probably go back to Casey Coleman who's been awful for parts of 3 seasons instead of a guy who was awful for 2 innings.

Growing pains. :good:

[Irrelevant Dude]

Does that count as 7 K's in a row or does a walk break the streak?

[Theo]

What is that 7 strikeout's in 8 PA's? He'll be back down in Iowa by this time next week.

[El Duderino]

This... is pretty tough to watch.

Yeah, that's not happening.

This is beyond struggling, he's embarrassing himself. I can't see how the Cubs can let this continue.

Not only are the Cubs sucking but Castro is in a horrific slump (0-18), Rizzo is in a slump (.142/.167/.250/.417 in last 7 games (30 PA) and .247/.290/.424/.714 in last 22 games (93 PA)), , Jackson has been terrible and Vitters barely plays. Literally nothing good coming from these games.

Maybe to visit friends, but then he'll be back with the Cubs by the next game because THESE GAMES MEAN NOTHING and this is essentially extended-extended Spring Training for him only pitchers are trying to get him out as opposed to work on their mechanics. Striking out 3-4 times per game vs. big league pitching is more beneficial to him and the organization than if he were to be striking out 2-3 times per game vs. PCL junk-ballers.

We are putting a choke hold on that top 3 pick and picking up traction on the #2 pick.

Jeff Beliveau with two scoreless! :oldbluekoolaid:

This is depressing

Walk breaks the streak. But who knows, this new one could be even longer.

There you go Vitters!

[El Duderino]

That ball was killed.

[UMFan83]

There we go Vitters. Fantastic AB, working the count and getting a pitch to drive.

Against a right-handed pitcher no less.

Young and bad is infinitely better than old and bad.
