  1. votto isn't wrong to be pissed, but that's a dick move. Full disclosure: i hate votto. ETA: I just saw Votto apologized and gave dude a ball. "dick move" retracted. it was never a dick move maybe im sensitive because of the bartman thing, but players throwing tantrums over that is weak. Hold it together.

  3. Why do you keep indicating the second at-bat was on the ump? He threw at least one strike in that at bat, he wouldn't have been throwing from the stretch if the previous batter had been properly rung up, even if that is a walk then 1 on 1 out is a very different situation, etc. It's sort of his job to deal with that.
  4. That's sort of irrelevant. They were called balls. And they were hardly center cut fastballs. Sometimes you don't get the corner. Even then, Arrieta had retired 7 straight and wasn't laboring, having him start an inning with 90 pitches against the bottom half of the order is perfectly fine. Well I disagree considering they already gave him an extended break at the ASB, presumably to deal with/prevent fatigue and he was exhausted by the postseason last year. Clearly workload is a consideration with him, and whether or not it's the bottom of the order, a one run game inherently means a high stress inning. If you go through the effort to build a shutdown bullpen, this is exactly the circumstance you use it.
  5. Arrieta threw like 4 balls combined to his last 2 hitters, umpire refused to call them. That's sort of irrelevant. They were called balls. And they were hardly center cut fastballs. Sometimes you don't get the corner.
  6. This is on Arrieta and Joe. Why put Arrieta out there with 90 pitches? And Arrieta crapped the bed, especially when one guy was begging to give up an out.
  7. What's the Rogers/3AM stuff? somehow I've missed this. Maybe don't read enough Rogers.
  8. that montomery guy hasn't really blown my skirt up so far
  9. He's on the Cubs now. Not much that can be done. I'm not gonna root for him to fail, even as I acknowledge he's a garbage person. Hopefully he does his job well and is better person now than he was in the past. If that makes me a terrible person, then I guess I suck.
  10. Did you root for Starlin the last few years? Or sammy sosa?
  11. TT what would you feel is a fair trade that would make you happy? What are some examples of realistic hypotheticals that would leave you bummed? ETA: Also, does Chapman bump Rondon to set-up? Any feelings on how that will impact Hector/Cubs?
  12. What's Blackburn's story? I can't keep our pitching prospects straight. Any Cubs pitching prospect currently pitching in full season ball should elicit an 'lol okay' if traded. Even among that malaise, Blackburn stands out for his complete and total lack of noteworthiness. He is the beige khakis of pitching prospects. hahahahaha
