5/24 Cubs (Hammel) @ D-backs (Hellickson), 3:10pm, WGN

[Derwood]

Hellickson DOES suck. Glad they started figuring that out

[Guest]

Soler is kinda fixed

 

No.

Sorta. Promising signs, anyway

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 10-1 (.909) when they hit at least 2 HRs.... 14-17 (.452) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Sammy Sofa]

Coghlan is some kind of flesh-monster who can sometimes hit home runs and do nothing else.

HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE BEST.

[Derwood]

Coghlan is some kind of flesh-monster who can sometimes hit home runs and do nothing else.

 

He now has 7 HR and only 11 RBI lol

[sneakypower]

and Bryant has had disappointing HR output...

I'll love it when he's an ape-monster they can let out of his cage and go PH sometimes.

[DiamondMind]

I have irrational love for Coghlan

Maybe I was hearing things, but Jim DeShaies was just talking about Coghlan and his home runs.

 

And I could have sworn he said something to the effect of, "and you look up and he has seven dongs."

 

This was followed by five seconds of silence.

 

Anyone else catch this?

[Guest]

Coghlan ran 20 feet to get that

[OleMissCub]

Who dat in LF!!!!

[Sammy Sofa]

Who dat in LF!!!!

 

Chris Coghlan.

[Clem Fandango]

God damnit

[OleMissCub]

Who dat in LF!!!!

 

Chris Coghlan.

 

Can't be.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 8-13 (.381) when they commit one or more errors.... 16-5 (.762) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[OleMissCub]

Pretty sure I will weep if we ever win a WS

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have been outscored 33-14 in the 6th inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

I'm not saying Soler is Stanton, but he is only .064 OPS points behind him. I think Soler is going to be fine now that it's warmer out. He'll end up with an OPS between .800 and .850.

I thought Bryant hit balls like that to RF. Actually, he did that just yesterday. Does his spray chart really indicate they should be shifting on him?

[DiamondMind]

wow they are terrified of rizzo

There's a lot of guys who get shifted even though they aren't pull-monsters just because they very rarely hit groundballs the opposite way. That might be a bit aggressive for Bryant, but the downside is limited.

[Ski]

Who's surprised that Castro hit into a double play? Anyone?

[Guest]

I wonder if Soler and Castro get swapped in the order next series.

[Sammys Boombox]

How is Hellickson only at 82 pitches and 1 BB against this lineup?
