7/25 Phillies (Hamels) @ Cubs (Arrieta) 3:05 CT ABC

[Guest]

you see what you've done kyle, I hope you're satisfied

[Hairyducked Idiot]

@ hairy What the hell are you talking about?

 

Some would call it trolling. I say it's hilarious satire.

[Soul]

Ahh

[dfnowak]

No hitter through 5

[BrockLanders]

During the game, imo. If Hamels is cruising through 5 innings, get something done quick and pull him from the game.

 

the time has come

[Irrelevant Dude]

For anyone keeping track, the Starlin Castro OPS-o-meter is now at .578

It's scary that what has happened to this franchise (and especially the fans' mindset) for the last few years has caused arguing for the Cubs to sell while they are currently half a game out of the playoffs to seem like something that should be taken at face value. *There are really people who think this*.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Got me, too. Just because it actually seemed like an option to discuss. Just not a good one.

he's a known troll. put him on foe list.

[dfnowak]

Who has the worse hitting right now? Cubs or Mets?

[expletive] that. I'd trade Fowler if we got a great offer. Or Montero. We just won't.

[Soul]

Haha well in my defense I've been here for all of 5 minutes

[ConstableRabbit]

Don't worry guys, nobody no hits the Cubs.

You misspelled "hilarious satirist."

[Bryants Disco Ball]

I don't want the Cubs to get no-hit today. That would suck.

[TruffleShuffle]

if we do end up trading for hamels, i hope he continues to get this many hard-hit outs going directly at his fielders.

yeap maybe going with hitters that have softball swings and no real defensive position wasnt as bright an idea as going for TOR potential pitchers.

I'll bet in two years you might think otherwise.

All joking aside, sometimes I wonder if the "take and rake" approach might not be as strong as it was in the 00s because of the increase in pitching velocity.

 

But our worst hitters are some of our least whiffy, so who knows.

[sontensei]

yeap another K lets get another golden sombrero KB!

[dfnowak]

No hitter through 6 innings.

[expletive] scoring runs. Just get me one hit. Please. Don't want to deal with the text messages.

I'm never starting a gam thread again

Replay of Banks, Billy, Santo, and Ryno singing 7th inning stretch from 2005. Very cool.
