Benched for striking out?

 

If you can't put the ball in play on 100 mph fastballs and diving 90 mph changeups, you have no business playing.

i thought that was a pretty damn good pitch that struck him out.

 

now, he did pull off and foul away a fastball right down the middle a few pitches before that, but still.

Literally nobody is calling for him to be a #4 hitter right now except for Joe Maddon. You mistake not frothing at the mouth as being a "Castro lover" because you're a sloppy, dripping meatball just marinating in a Subway steam bin.

Somewhere, most likely in Baltimore, Orioles fans are smiling Edited May 29, 2015 by UMFan83

When it's not the O, it's the pitching.

[Butterscup1679666578]

probably about time to make grimm that 8th inning guy, eh?

[snoodmonger]

Strop's reaction on the walk vs Moustakas was a pretty clear indicator that he was going to suck this game.

[snoodmonger]

That fan in the blue shirt to the left of home plate should be drowned.

[sontensei]

he got overused early on after grimm and ramirez went down and now its showing

And then they realize we get Arrieta also and they get sad again.

[sontensei]

lol some guy on the cubs.com msg board said "we need to replace arrieta he has had like 8 bad starts in a row" lol

More likely he's having a bad stretch. Relievers have them unless they're super studs.

To be fair, he's paced for about 75-80 innings right now, and his career high is 66.
