6/30 Game Thread CUBS GO FOR SWEEP 1:20 WGN

[sethuel1]

Aaaaaaaand we're bringing in Remlinger to face a lefty.

 

In all fariness, though, I think Milwaukee made the switch after Remmy was announced.

 

Not according to Pat and Ron.

Why does Ricky Bot own the Cubs?

[Jon]

Unfortunately, this could likely mean that he'll give up more HRs.

 

Stop talking, Jon.

It's just so frustrating that Hendry can't see the obvious here. Sergio should not be in the 'pen.

 

He's a sinker ball pitcher with control issues, for goodness sake.

 

I agree that Mitre doesn't belong in the bullpen. But control problems? I thought one of his strong assets was the lack of bases on balls. His problem is too much contact, and when you are a sinkerballer coming out of the pen, it can be hard to get the necessary downward movement on your fastball to turn that contact into weak grounders.

I wasn't so much referring to walks. He seemed to struggle with control significantly the first two months of this season. Yanking someone out of the rotation who's just really getting into a grove with command isn't going to produce great results.

 

Notice I said "issues" and not "problems!" :D

Wow, this is the first time PHP has let me back in in quite some time. I thought the board blew up or something.

[cjbucks]

Kevin Mench has 3 hr's for the Rangers today - the price just went up.

Hoepfully his head didn't get any bigger.

[cjbucks]

Does he have ego issues? I'm not real familiar with him other than I have him on a fantasy team.

Nah - he literally has a huge melon - it's a size 8, I believe.

It's like Sputnik. Spherical but pointy in certain parts.

question: if a pitcher leaves a tie ballgame with runners on base and they score, the pitcher who was responsible let the runners on base would get the loss or no? A friend and I were talking about it last night, he said it could be either pitcher. Wasn't real clear from the rules.

yes the pitcher that left the runners on would get charged the loss.

[gflore34]

In September, when the Cubs have the playoff their playoff spot tied up, Carlos Lee should hit the dirt.

[rickrolled]

Rally time?

 

Nope.

This sure isn't the way to go into that series. The Cubs owe the Nationals some payback for the crappy series they had in DC. The pitching matchups are somewhat favorable, hopefully they can get it done.
