8/15 Cubs (Arrieta) @ white sox (Quintana) 6:10 ABC/CSN

[OleMissCub]

Damnit. Another TV goober in the booth.

[Careless]

So now we've got this mimbo for a half inning

[Andy]

We're gonna win like 98 games and play a road one-game playoff. A small part of me is almost rooting for it for the sheer novelty.

This ABC 7 self promotion makes a half an inning of every gam just awful.

[Andy]

Damnit. Another TV goober in the booth.

ABC 7 better be paying a pretty penny for all these stupid infomercials Len and JD have to do with their stupid anchors.

[OleMissCub]

TV news people really have some of the most phony and awful personalities imaginable.

[OleMissCub]

His Tony Gwynn impression is first rate though.

[Sammy Sofa]

Not that I haven't mentioned it enough, but that Soler is basically unremarkable at best right now and all of the other big name recent Cuban signings are kicking ass is...annoying.

Not that it wasn't justified at the time, but I remember saying something to that effect before Soler came up and getting shredded because he wasn't up nor supposed to be. Sadly prescient of me.

[Schwarber Fan]

Cy Morton going on at Citi Field, Lackey hitting RBI singles at Busch...

 

Go Nats

[Sammy Sofa]

Granted, my plan was as simplistic as "JUST SIGN ALL OF THEM," but still. The jury is still out, but I really hope they didn't screw that up.

Puig has been pretty pedestrian all season.

Word. It sucks. He needs to start getting some elevation on his swing and start putting balls on the street.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 65-47 (.580) when they get they get at least 3 hits .... 1-1 (.500) when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Agony and Ivy]

And Soler is the youngest of all of the big name Cubans in the league right now.

[Fred Hornkohl]

white sox seeing 4.08 P/PA through 3 innings.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[OleMissCub]

And Soler is the youngest of all of the big name Cubans in the league right now.

 

Jose Fernandez may be younger, but your point stands.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS seeing 4.47 P/PA through 4 innings.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

He definitely is but I was thinking position players.

[Sammy Sofa]

And Soler is the youngest of all of the big name Cubans in the league right now.

 

He wasn't expected to be as disappointing as he's been this season, even accounting for the injury. Yes, he's young, but he's significantly underperforming to most expectations/projections.

 

And as disappointing as Puig's been this season he's still kicking Soler's butt.

I mean its not as bad as the 103 win Giants missing the playoffs

[Careless]

That's an annoying one.

All he really needs to do is fix his swing just a hair. Just the slightest elevation and he would have 20 hr by now. He'll get there someday.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

He's only 23.
