7/16 - Red Sox (Crawford) vs Cubs (Steele): 1:20pm, Marquee

[UMFan83]

Steele just doesn't have it today.  He got hit up pretty good against Milwaukee in his previous start too, though managed to only give up 3 runs.

 

Edit: Also I'm not following on my phone while I work on something so maybe these are all dink and dunk hits.

Such a frustrating team and coach. Sunday Cobs. Reminds me of the Dusty Sunday forfeit lineups. 

[Derwood]

Hoerner sure does have a weak swing for a guy who looks like he roided up over the off season.

[Derwood]

So we beat up their best pitcher yesterday and now they're beating up ours

[Tryptamine]

And that should just about do it for any chances they become buyers.

[UMFan83]

Steele gets the 3rd out of the 5th to bring his ERA back down under 3.00 to 2.99.  Yay?

Mancini is cooked and should be released

I know he's got some kind of contract guarantee for next year, but at what point do you cut bait?  He has looked cooked all year

[Tryptamine]

Nico with his 4th strikeout in 2 games.

[CubinNY]

Nico is in his head. Late swing decisions. Happ’s got a different problem. He’s getting beat by fastballs. 

[Tryptamine]

Include Rucker on the list of players to fire into the sun

[Irrelevant Dude]

Who could have predicted Nico and Happ both turning into pumpkins after signing long term deals?

P.S. I still like Nico, and Happ will probably be fine (albeit boring and without enough power) over the life of his deal.

[Derwood]

Yoshida with more SLG in this game than Mastrouboni has all year

[Rex Buckingham]

man, I picked a bad day to leave Yoshida on my fantasy team's bench

[Derwood]

[Irrelevant Dude]

So...  Let's take a team that is 6 games under .500, get rid of their best pitcher and best hitter (either by trade or through free agency) and then expect to be better next year.  Is that how this works?

Wisdom and Young into the game, Amaya still wondering what he did wrong.

[Andy]

A reminder of happier times

 

 

[Tryptamine]

Well there goes half of that positive run differential that people use to justify buying.

[CubinNY]

When does the seat get warm for Jed? This off-season? End of next season? I always assume Jed and Ross are a package deal. 

[Tryptamine]

It should be immediately,  but incompetence dominates this organization

That is rarely how it works.  Jed is MUCH more at fault than Ross, but he's going to get his opportunity to fire Ross and hire another manager.
