  1. hahahaha
  2. That was the least stressful 1-0 win ever.
  3. They can bludgeon to death or win a pitchers duel
  4. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/sunday-notes-whitleys-cattle-cubs-butler-gausmans-analogy-yard-goats-more/ New market inefficiency: don't change pitchers Arrieta was told not to pitch the way that got him to the pros. Butler, who was the Oriole who was the best minor leaguer to touch a baseball again? Not just pitchers - Castro had some deprogramming that he eventually had to ignore. In all seriousness this seems like a pretty easy thing to do, but just like people make comments about tanking being easy, it's not. I'm sure what Colorado was doing with Butler was something that happens to every prospect to some degree. Why was it too much for him? Why did the Cubs approach make more sense? Sure, he was doing something that felt more natural, but it seems to mean that the caliber of coaching and the effort to monitor and understand the player is what is making the difference. I think Bosio is really good at looking at mechanics and sorting out problems. If I remember correctly, he talks with all the pitchers a lot to see what they like to do and tries to work with that instead of molding them to one philosophy. The Cubs have been fortunate to have such good pitching coaches the last decade.
  5. Maddon rocking the black batting gloves.
  6. Even Buckner knew he deserved it.
  7. Turned it off and here they come back
  8. You have a special knack at complaining about things that people don't say that make you angry, keep up the good work and have a xanax on me. Duensing sucks.
  9. I'm sick of seeing this guy throw fat pitches
  10. Good game so far today. I have trapped myself in a terrible superstition. The last few days when they've gotten behind I turned them off and they've ended up winning. Now If they get down I'll turn them off and just check the MLB app.
  11. I'm not going to lie, that had me tearing up.
  12. I'm not really sure what the point of this article is other than to get people to talk about Jeff Passan, but no, hopefully we never get there any day. It's a stupid article. These guys aren't WWE performers. PEDs or whatever you want to call them have no place in sports and are harmful to the body.
  13. I hope we can get a haul for Rizzo at the trade deadline.
  14. I'm not saying the umpires cost them this game, but that's two games in a row that balls and strikes were pivotal in the outcome.
