5/14 NY Mets (Niese) @ CUBS (Wood) 1:20, CSN

[Tryptamine]

Cya Travis, hopefully this is the last I have to see of you as a starter.

[Banedon]

Gameday made it look like the pitch Duda hit to center was a good bit outside...

[sontensei]

they dont get another dong

[Cubswin11]

I know that getting to that ball took Fowler's momentum away from where he was throwing but man he seems to have a weak arm

[Irrelevant Dude]

Any word on Turner?

[TruffleShuffle]

Pretty excited about getting a 5th starter who isn't complete dead weight.

[sontensei]

i hope the only wood i associate with the cubs is THE 20k one

[KatJ]

StL wins over the Indians. Blarg.

[Cubswin11]

Any word on Turner?

Presumed dead

[KatJ]

... and who is still young enough to be pitching. You have to wonder about those three now-retired aces. Perhaps there was a coach in their collective past who didn't care about blowing out arms? :-k

Castillo looks like a midget next to Mayberry and the ump.

 

I'm learning to hate Motte.

[Schwarber Fan]

Ouch

[Andy]

Damn it. Would've definitely made things interesting if Motte could hold it at 3-1.

[Tryptamine]

0 for the last 21, but Motte is a professional and manages to give up a 2RBI single.

[sontensei]

yeah at least we got the first 3 wins.

[Cubswin11]

You'd think a guy who can throw 94-96 with movement would get better results than Motte does. Or else consider taking 1-3 MPH off to get better control/increased movement. Edited May 14, 2015 by Cubswin11

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but Wada kicked ass for Iowa again today. See you next week, buddy.

Learning?

Don't worry about the Cardinals. They're gone. Worry about the WC and we'll get the Cardinals in the NLCS.

It was mentioned in the minor league thread.

[Sammy Sofa]

Motte is the new Aaron Miles. Filthy Cardinal scum.

If they're really gone, then we'll get them in the NLDS since they'll have the #1 seed.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Assuming Wood losses his spot in the rotation, who would you rather keep in the bullpen, him or Jackson?

 

I still think Jackson has much more upside as a reliever, but I expect the Cubs would lean toward Wood because of the supposed flexibility that he provides off the bench.
