Ha he wanted none of Soler.

Afraid of Soler. I would be too

Bryan Price is the name that Dusty Baker uses to check into hotels.

Are you suggesting that the Cubs are good and the Rockies and Reds are bad? Those games were flips of a coin and certainly not representative of any real evaluation of talent.

 

Exactly.

 

I'm certainly not suggesting that only the negative of this short season is representative either. However, I see a pretty similar offense as to what we saw last year. While it's only 7 games, it doesn't seem to have changed much, and I guess I feel as though I'm not excited as everyone else seems to be.

 

Cubs in 2014: No. 21 at taking pitches outside the zone

Cubs in 2015: No. 1 at taking pitches outside the zone

 

Seems a little different to me.

 

Holy sample size. Let's see what is it in two weeks, or 4, or 10.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Even if they lose this game, it's fun that they were in it.

=D> I saw Gregg was coming in and instinctively thought " Hey, this is an opportunity!" Clicked away for what seemed like 2 seconds and returned to a 2 spot! =D>

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Holy sample size. Let's see what is it in two weeks, or 4, or 10.

 

*You* were the one who brought up what the offense "looks like" in this sample. Not me.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Kinda wish we had a righty on the bench to PH with here.

[Guest]

Rosscup didn't get that pitch once and Cingriani gets it consecutively? Get real

[Guest]

I think Coghlan might be going to 3rd again, if Olt is not good to do it.

 

edit: 2nd!

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Now I can hate Coghlan again, right?

[chopsx9]

Would it have been detrimental to the team to have Wood pinch hit for the clean-up hitter there?

[KaiserCesar]

Coghlan now at 2B, ha.

 

They could put Castillo as SS and it won't matter if Strop strikes out the side.

[Dr. Cub]

Now I can hate Coghlan again, right?

No. He's not swinging at pitches outside the zone. So, as of now, you can't hate him.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

OK, I can't hate him if we're going to have fun putting him in weird spots.

[Guest]

Castro, Montero, Szczur, and then either Ross or Wood against Chapman. SOUNDS LIKE RUNS

[Clem Fandango]

Coghlan is our Zobrist... we've all been deceived.

[Dr. Cub]

Does anyone even reach base against Aroldis? Odds?

[KaiserCesar]

OK, I can't hate him if we're going to have fun putting him in weird spots.

 

He's going to be sitting over the next charity dunk tank.

[Dr. Cub]

Separated at birth.....

[Fred Hornkohl]

I'll take that dong now, thanx !

[UMFan83]

If Szczur hits a walk off, I will call him salad

[Guest]

Castro's gonna roll a groundball through for a single and Szczur is gonna turn around a fastball for a walkoff

 

(or they will be part of 3 consecutive Ks)

[Cubswin11]

Does anyone even reach base against Aroldis? Odds?

Szczur is tapping into his ST power
