Guys, while we're all asking for Neifi's head on a platter, please remember that Walker came up with 2 on and no outs yet he failed to move the runners over. That's bad baseball. If Todd advances the runners we would have scored on Neifi's groundout. The Cubs need to do the little things to win because this offense isn't overwhelming anyone lately.

 

Agreed. But Todd clearly does not suck anywhere near as much as Neifi. That's why he gets slack or why Lee gets slack, or Aram.

 

Neifi get's crap because he's bad 95% of the time offensively. I remember Walker moving runners over quite often. I remember Neifi GIDP all the time.

[XZero771679666304]

Can anyone give me Neifi's stats minus the one good month he's had?

 

After a quick calculation:

 

.240/.265/.337/.602

 

And that's counting the first half of may, when he was still hot.

Bad baseball in those spots, but Todd's production has been much better this season than Neifi's.

 

Agreed, but the bashing started after the DP. Again, Todd's AB was the crucial one of the inning.

[JGalt73]

Nice that we can be team 2 to allow Padillia a 6+ inning start...

[Outshined_One]

Making it official.

 

Sheesh.

[SwisherSweet]

A guy with a 5+ ERA basically means we have a 50/50 chance to score in any given inning against him.. and he's throwing a shutout. Pathetic.

[Brian]

UGH, I love a pop flys leave this park..

 

 

another wasted 3-0, and Padillas has only his 2nd 7 inning performance.

 

WTG Todd, could have used that earlier.

[Flames24Rulz]

and Walker gets a double. Time to redeem yourself Neifi.

[TrueBlueCubFan]

Nice that we can be team 2 to allow Padillia a 6+ inning start...

IIRC, Padilla has been on the DL most of the year. small sample size

[Outshined_One]

As I said. Walker's been more productive offensively this season. :D

[Coach C]

Nice double by Todd.

Walker has done a lot more grounding into DPs and leaving runners on lately (since St. Louis).

 

Thankfully, he doubles here!

I agree.

 

My point is that it seems like you guys are harder on Neifi than you were, Corey.

[Outshined_One]

Neifi is so awesome at that weak grounder to the SS or 2B on the first pitch thing.

[Coach C]

Meh, I guess I'll take it.

[OldHappyCubFan]

good job neifi, you pathetic bum.

[JGalt73]

This is 17th start?

[Brian]

got the runner over, but another weak out, and with this offense. Go on 3rd with 2 outs, isn't that encouraging.

Neifi has not received nearly the amount of derision, spite, and venom as Corey has this season.

 

Something tells me this IBB will come back to haunt Philly.

[Brian]

Guy on 3rd with no outs is not encouraging either though

[Coach C]

Barrett gonna be IBB.

He's thrown 90 innings, and this is his 17th start. He's just plain bad, though hes been pretty good his last 4.

[brinoch]

The Chicago Cubs suck, and have sucked for the past 100 years.

a troll couldn't have said it any better

 

C'mon guys.

[muntjack]

I think I'm more confident with Z up right now than anyone else.
