    Someone mentioned Arrighatti is the Astro' Hendricks, quick glance at his statistics suggests he has location/control issues but, plus stuff? Anyone seen this guy throw?
  2. gflore34
    That MF'er has been giving that next to last pitch by Almonte to Astros all night, especially Francis, it greatly aided in him putting up zeros after the first.
  3. gflore34
    Does it appear the Astro' starter has been given the edges of the strike zone more so than Wicks?
  4. gflore34
    Besides Caritini, how about some of that mesmerized the first time facing an opposing pitcher horsefeathers for the Astros today?
  5. gflore34
    Saw a piece about Karnisovas vowing to make changes, admitting DeRozan, Lavine and Vucevic hasn't worked. Honestly, I thought they'd play the injuries card right off the bat.
  6. gflore34
    horsefeathers finally, draft week!!! The real intrigue for the Bears is what happens 2-8, hopefully, after Caleb, there's a run on QB's leaving one of WR for them at 9. I'd really like it to be Odunze if not, Nabers will work.
  7. gflore34
    I hear you, this waiting for 2+ months after the SB to conduct the draft is nonsense.

    Home run or not, I've had enough of Canario with his contact issues, it'd be nice if PCA starts to hit soon. Get Canario on the shuttle back to Iowa as soon as possible. Is Cassie a realistic possibility this year?
  9. gflore34
    Game 2, don't think the Marlins have much of a chance against Imanaga, if the Cubs can up 4-5 runs should be an easy victory.
  10. gflore34
    The mistake was letting Canario hit, everyone in the Universe, except for Counsell, knew he was not going to put the ball in play. Have to go Bellinger or Busch for that at bat.
  11. gflore34
    I didn't expect them to sweep the Marlins, 3 of 4 is still a real possibility nevertheless, I hate them losing to a really bad baseball team.
  12. gflore34
    Closer by committee? Little and Leiter?
  13. gflore34
    I really like to try someone else as the closer, Alzolay hangs too may sliders.
  14. gflore34
    It's not surprising they lost tonight, kind of thought they would. I'm glad, I'd much rather watch the Heat get smoked by the Celtics than the Bulls.

    Watched some of highlights from their last game of the season, Reichel didn't look broken. In fact, looked pretty smooth scoring the first goal of game. Appears there was a slight improvement since he was called back up .2 pts/gm -> .6 pts/gm, don't know if means much for the future or if he'll ever become a good player at least, there was some improvement.
  16. gflore34
    Okay, makes sense, want be with one's girl friend and all, the other stuff, Mayer vibes, is also a factor.
  17. gflore34
    AJ Storr headed to Kansas, no surprise, leave it to Dollar Bill to meet his asking price. Although the Illini were finalists, Storr was giving me some Matthew Mayer like vibes, while his skill set and talent will be hard to replace don't believe Gard was too broken up about him moving on. Nor do I think Underwood is hurting about him committing to Kansas.

    Getting swept in Miami, losing all by a run was super annoying, Marlins were an unsustainable 33-14 in 1-run games last year. They were baseball' version of the 2022-23 Vikings.
  19. gflore34
    While the Marlins get a run in some bizarre way probably involving the ball not getting out of the infield.
  20. gflore34
    Marlins are terrible, still don't know how they made the playoffs last season, definitely one of the worst playoff teams in recent memory. Yet, the Cubs keep losing to them, no Soler, no Burger (IL), I think it's safe to say their lineup has not improved.
  21. gflore34
    Anyone else feel like this play-in for Bulls is an exercise in futility? Honestly I rather they lose and get to the make-excuses for-rationalizing-rolling it back-offseason.
  22. gflore34
    I'm glad the Cubs were able to pin the loss on Pfaadt although he didn't pitch so badly. Don't know what it is about this guy, the rest of baseball lights him up but, the Cubs can't do much against him.
  23. gflore34
    Was Hoerner' error on a tough play, not watching.
  24. gflore34
    They hit Pfaadt pretty hard in his first start vs. the Cubs, 3 HR's, in a 5-2 victory, second start he threw 5+ shutout innings for one of his 3 victories on the season. Given how the rest of the league has pummeled him, I think that second start was more of an outlier than the norm, believe the Cubs will get to him.
  25. gflore34
    I don't see the point of giving Hendricks anymore starts, he's the primary reason the pen is overworked. Just cannot continue to trot him out there knowing you'll have to pull him after 4 innings quite probably down multiple runs. He's cooked, he's toast, he's done, I would argue that even when he does hit his spots, it doesn't matter because of the lack of stuff. Everything he throws, no matter where it is, is extraordinarily hit-able.
