Frenchie. Really Cubs?

[Guest]

DFA

[BigSlick]

Sigh.

[Andy]

Never really understood this signing.

[TruffleShuffle]

inability to score runs off jerome williams followed by a game-winning home run to jeff francoeur. not a terrible way to lose in 2003. really bad way to lose in 2015.

[Butterscup1679666578]

stop losing to bad teams

[Little Slide Rooter]

Aaaand we're going to be swept by the Newark Bears.

[Andy]

Francoeur can't hit the ball unless you put it pretty much in that exact spot, so a bold move to do so

[HendryWallet]

Soriano is done. Much rather see Edwards

[downsr30]

We signed Soriano bc he was good.. If he still was good now, he wouldn't have been a free agent on June 9th therefore he shouldn't be pitching in tied games late.

It is crazy to think that last year we were talking about our riches at shortstop with Castro being a stud, Baez destroying the minors and trading for the stud all-around Russell..

 

Castro will soon be hitting below .230.. Baez has shown a little rejuvenation after striking out more than Screech with Lisa, but our hope for him is "please don't be a bust," as opposed to "I can't wait to see him back!" The last guy on our list has shown the most promise and is our best defensive player on the field and we are forcing him to focus on defense as opposed to spending that time improving and developing his hitting, but hey it's ok, it's because the guy he's shifting to second base for is hitting .234, is excellent at hitting into double plays, and is a defensive liability at shortstop..

Yup, this guy should have been pitching for the Cubs a month ago.

The decision to pitch Soriano instead of Grimm was a puzzling one.

[TruffleShuffle]

see him walk 7 batters per 9 innings pitched? no thanks.

[Schwarber Fan]

Francouer must have gaudy numbers against the Cubs in his career.

[PrimeTime]

Don't know what the hell the scouts and FO seen in him. Tops out at 91 and everything is flat and catches the plate

[rawaction]

Just now catching up on the game. Did u guys talk about how bad a decision it was to leadoff an inning wit Schwarber pinch hitting and not double switch him in? Schwarber should have been batting in the 8th work the bases loaded instead of David [expletive] Ross

[downsr30]

Two guys the Cubs should get:

Bryan Shaw: Cleveland

Jonathon Papelbon: we're looking at him.

He wouldn't be put in tight games. Better yet, he wouldn't be throwing 87 with no life.

[Schwarber Fan]

As much as Maddon managed the hell out of the last game, he did many dumb things in this game: bunting, using Schwarber early, using Soriano before several other guys...

[kujay]

I pretty much hate Castro at this point.

[CincyCubsFan]

Yea. I'm dumbfounded at the way Maddon used Schwarber today.

 

And [expletive] you Castro. And now Ross? Lol.

[downsr30]

Ok, wow.. I'm not even mad. Castro FLEW out.. And then I heard the dreaded words: it's up to David Ross.
