6/27: Cubs (roach) @ cards (wacha) 6:15 on fox

[jersey cubs fan]

Let us all pray to our deceased relatives to ask forgiveness for our atrocious performance so that we may be blessed with wins aplenty.

 

 

Also roach clips are a fun topic.

Hoping he hits a homer so he will be forever known as Dong Roach.

Because I can hardly wait to see him actually pitch, does anyone have a scouting report on him? Lively fastball? Junk pitcher? Can he hit? Or at least sac bunt effectively Edited June 27, 2015 by PackLandVA

He's only striking out like 3 per 9 innings in AAA this year and his average FB velocity last year was 89. Fangraphs page says he throws a FB, CB and Split

I figure Papa Roach is on heavy rotation for most of the game thread's regular doom boners.

he has elite-level GB rates in minors

[Sammy Sofa]

I think he's going to go 6 full innings and only give up 1 run. Cubs win, 4-1.

I'm less concerned about Roach pitching for the Cubs than I am for Wacha pitching against the Cubs.

[rawaction]

Yay! Unfavorable pitching matchup on paper for the Cubs. 2-0 this week when opposing starter is better. 0-3 when opposing starter is inferior this week. Roach goes 6 IP, 6 hits, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 Ks. Cubs scrape across 1 late win 2-1.

[Soul]

They don't have a book on him. Advantage Cubs!

So we'll get to see 47 ground balls magically find holes through our infield today.

The purpose of hacking the Astros was to get the book on Donny Roach all along

I doubt he'll be up long enough to rent a place. I assume he'll be staying at a...ok, I can't even say it.
