9/17 - Brewers (Davies) @ Cubs (Arrieta) 3:05 WGN

[Derwood]

Maybe he meant will LaStella get starts for the I-Cubs in the PCL playoffs

[David]

oh look another garbage bloop double for this piece of garbage baseball player

[Transmogrified Tiger]

how many looping doubles with a 50 mph exit velocity can one man hit in a series

[David]

i never thought i could hate a brewer worse this year than i already hated newenheis (i'm not gonna bother actually looking up how you spell that moron's name)

[Cubswin11]

Yeah I don't see a way La Stella gets a 3b start with both Bryant and Baez available there and as was said, Soler playing some damn good baseball

He started at 3B in the WC game last year. That was with a healthy Gorgie and what we know about Javy as a player was basically the same (Russell had the hamstring injury and Javy had to start at SS). But still, Joe seems to like him at 3B

zero confidence in jake

[David]

jake has me more concerned than ever

 

even when he's "efficient" he can't get out of the 6th

[David]

ok nevermind i take it back

[Gilby]

God I hope we're up 2-0 going into Jake's start

[UMFan83]

Jake for 4th starter in playoffs ha

[David]

lately it's been the one really bad inning with bad sequencing thing for him wtf

[Cubswin11]

Jake Hammel, please come back God Mode

[Sammy Sofa]

Yeesh. Jake, stop these bad things.

[UMFan83]

At least he was able to put it together long enough for an awesome memorable season

[David]

he had 0 ER vs what has been a very good offensive team lately until this inning

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Although I'd like him to be doing better I'm more thankful we didn't give him a mega extension.

[17 Seconds]

maybe he should stop walking garbage hitters every start

[Cubswin11]

I hope he's holding some bullets for the playoffs

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I haven't been paying the closest attention, has anyone besides Braun hit the ball hard? I haven't seen any.

[David]

to what JD is talking about, has Jake even been appreciably better with montero catching?

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Sorry, JD, but he's not good enough to demand a certain catcher.

not really but a ton of wildness and some really really bad misses
