I think Fowler will be fine, too, I just don't see why trying Coghlan there is such a stretch.

[PrimeTime]

GRAND SALAMI!!!

[ARCubsFan]

Move him to the 4 hole!

[Sammys Boombox]

Fowler! Haha

[Little Slide Rooter]

First word boo. Second, yaa.

[d_money]

Nice!!!

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Coghlan would have only hit that off the top of the wall if he were batting leadoff.

[Schwarber Fan]

See, Fowler is a run producer! ;)

CUBS are 1-0 when they hit a grand slam!

[PrimeTime]

With the offense doing it's thing and bullpen looking better and Ramirez due back I hope Theo & Co addresses the back of the rotation soon and get an elite starter...Hammel, Hendricks and Wada is just a crapshoot and you don't know what you're going to get that day when they're on the mound.

Sort of surprised you included Hammel in there. He's pretty solid and fairly consistent.

What are you talking about ?????

 

Last time the CUBS scored 25 runs in a game.... Fri 18 Aug 1995 in a 26-7 win at Colorado

You're right, I guess it was only a couple last few starts where he got in trouble early. other than that he's been solid...It's more so Wada and Hendricks.

He's combining scores for some reason.

Team record by starting pitcher

 

CUBS are 8-6 when Lester starts
CUBS are 7-6 when Arrieta starts
CUBS are 3-3 when Wood starts
CUBS are 6-7 when Hammel starts
CUBS are 8-6 when Hendricks starts
CUBS are 4-2 when Wada starts

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Agreed and it's a lock they do get another starter. We'd all love another ace but it's probably going to be a rental who is more a 3 or 4 but offers more than a Wada.

 

But I'll still dream of Hamels because it's fun.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 6-0 (1.000) when they give up 4 hits or less.... 30-30 (.500) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 25-0 (1.000) when they lead at the end of the 8th inning.... 11-30 (.268) when they don't

I mean, Hammel ranks 10th in the NL in ERA, 11th in FIP, and 8th in xFIP.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS have outscored the opponents 26-16 in the 9th inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!
