as an owner in fantasy...Upton always starts strong. He usually finishes weak.

If I haven't mentioned it yet, I'm so glad Justin Grimm is back.

yeah and if that guy they picked up medina gets his command going in AAA the pen will be much stronger in a month or 2 with Ramirez coming back too

[Smack]

Aladdin Bail Bonds? Really?

 

if you ever get locked up in San Diego you'll remember that sign

[Smack]

Nice work by Grimm

I like grimm

[Guest]

i still feel like grimm looks like a starter

 

no idea what i mean by that but i wouldn't hate it if they gave him a chance to start at some point...especially if/when CJ and rivero take bullpen spots.

Guys like Grimm, Edwards, even Ramirez and Wada make me really really want to do piggybacked rotation slots

If we have 2 starters Maddon has no confidence in the ability to or can't go more than 5 or 6 innings max....they don't have the luxury of waiting a month or 2 IMO....I have personally have ZERO long term confidence in anyone in the pen not named Rondon or Grimm.

[TruffleShuffle]

well that was definitely not a strike to baxter.

[Guest]

And we've got a big zone again.

[Clem Fandango]

That's one of the worst strike 3 calls I've seen this year

[Schwarber Fan]

Strike zone consistency continues to be non-existent.

[Ram1380]

Oh great...a foot outside on strike 3....anyone care to avatar bet Rosscup(or any other of our relievers for that matter) doesn't get that pitch....?

 

fucken joke

Is russell the only person worse at hitting a slider than soler?

[Schwarber Fan]

Is russell the only person worse at hitting a slider than soler?

 

He was laying off for awhile, not sure what happened.

[BrockLanders]

on earth? no

Did you have faith in Strop last year? Because his numbers are nearly identical except for ERA. FIP is a bit higher, WHIP is lower but H/9, BB/9, HR/9 and K/9 are almost identical.

Well, for one, Ross is striking out almost 11 per 9 innings largely due to that pitch

[fallacy]

whenever the leadoff guy gets on it always seems like they score against us

[Schwarber Fan]

Damn, thought there was a play at 2nd.

[Guest]

I wonder what the batting line is for hitters the Cubs face when Bosio hand delivers the scouting report like this
