8/18 Cubs (Chatwood) at Pirates (Musgrove) 6:05 p.m. WGN

[raw]

Javy needs to be good again.

 

Edit: on offense.

[TMan92]

holy horsefeathers! His mechanics are ridiculous. DFA if he doesn't have options.

 

Can't he develop a "shoulder issue" which forces him to the 60 day? He can take the rest of the year off and maybe Hickey can salvage something out of him next spring.

Relying on Hickey to save Chatwood is like relying on Chatwood to give you 3 innings

 

It is going to be interesting to see what happens with Hickey this offseason

yeah because hickey has worked such magic with the rest of the staff

 

When I said "maybe salvage something", wasn't necessarily a ringing endorsment. :wink:

No need to DFA him. Justine became Justin again from October to April. Just use the Iowa shuttle until the first of September. Let Chatsuck pitch in blowouts only. And then on September 1, let him hold Lester Strode's binder for the rest of the season. Clearly won't be on the pre-season roster.

[PackLandVA]

Would like to see Frazier get a "do over" instead of the K so he could GIDP.

[TMan92]

Do something Russell

[TMan92]

His hand is a mess

[NotSoSober]

Worthless

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Other than David, does anybody think Addison Russell is not crappy?

[Schwarber Fan]

Russell is garbage.

I bet Duke could find some obscure stat that says he's amazing

[Bote McBoteface]

So yeah Addy looks injured. And bad.

making babies

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Time for the dongs.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

What was the umpire looking at?????

[NotSoSober]

Not the best night for this 1B umpire. Good god. He should be doing the LLWS

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Let's hit some dingers.

[stitchface]

Let's hit some dingers.

 

 

hit the parrot too while you're going after mascots

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Sometimes our offense is clunky.

[TMan92]

Sometimes our offense is clunky.

 

The pitching had really covered for the crap ass offense in Pittsburgh.

[NotSoSober]

Sometimes our offense is clunky.

That's a very polite way of putting it

[minnesotacubsfan]

totally inept

[UMFan83]

So who do you guys think hits our solo HR tomorrow?

[NotSoSober]

So who do you guys think hits our solo HR tomorrow?

Hammels. He's gonna have to do it all himself

[UMFan83]

Cubs offense had a .771 OPS in the first half and a .720 in the second half.

 

In 15 August games (not including tonight) it’s .694
