    I think you hit the head, there's nothing special about his stuff, it's how he throws that's special. He struck out Swanson on a hanging slider, every Tucker at bat he hung something over the plate, there were several other meatballs to other hitters. Yet, they couldn't pick them up, last time out the Cubs were seeing the ball well out of his hand hence, them crushing the ball, this time they weren't seeing the ball well.

    Pissbirds got their asses kicked today 11-1, very good.
  3. gflore34
    To earlier suggestion that Abbott was good today - every Tucker at bat he got a meatball, popped up two of them, smoked one of them but it was on the ground resulting in a DP. He was more lucky than good, it's baseball it happens.

    Same here, win 2 of 3 and everything will be alright. Tomorrow is key, they get that one, I think they'll beat Martinez on Sunday. Although he's the type of guy that has been giving them fits - soft tosser, keeps the ball down, lives on the corners, he's a better version of Rea - I like the Cubs chances.
  5. gflore34
    I know you're correct, I do believe most of us would start Busch.
  6. gflore34
    Like many have said Rea is terrible and the Cubs have gotten what could out of him as a starter. He's really the weak link in the current rotation, Brown, at least, has the potential to get better. Horton will probably improve, Boyd, Shota and Tallion are solid, Rea just flat out sucks. One upper tier MOR or TOR is what's needed at TDL.

    Busch should start tomorrow, Lodolo has reverse splits is getting hit harder by LHB'ers. Someone tell Craig.
  8. gflore34
    Don't believe ball placement was a problem in college, I think it'll get better.
  9. gflore34
    Neither am I, primary worry is the starting pitching, bullpen has been solid and will not be the problem.
  10. gflore34
    At least they made those horsefeatherss sweat a little and got into the bullpen.
  11. gflore34
    I don't know an awful lot of those pitches where right in the middle of the plate, he wasn't painting the corners. I think the Cubs have more problems with soft tossers.
  12. gflore34
    I hope Wicks is ready for the next Reds series, if the Cubs could line up Shota, Boyd and Wicks I like their chances.
  13. gflore34
    Not going to happen today, they're missing meatballs can't do anything with them.
  14. gflore34
    JD wasn't kidding about the Reds vs LHP they're just feeble. A strike throwing Cabrera isn't bad, would love to see him carve up the horsefeathers Fraley.
  15. gflore34
    There's another one, hanging slider or change up right down the middle, Tucker pops it up.
  16. gflore34
    See how many more meatballs they swing through, pop up, etc. But, it'd be nice if the Cubs could make them sweat a bit maybe, get the tying run to the plate.
  17. gflore34
    Fraley crap ass hitter except against the Cubs, don't mind Reds better hitters doing damage. Garbage like Fraley is annoying as hell.
  18. gflore34
    Pitch Swanson struck out was crushed last week.
  19. gflore34
    Yes, Abbott given them quit a few pitches to hit and they've missed on all of them.
  20. gflore34
    They're just a little off, plenty of pitches to hit not doing anything with them.
  21. gflore34
    Yeah, I don't know, wasn't even that good of pitch, something that should have been smoked. But this horsefeathers umpire has different struck zones horizontally for each team.
  22. gflore34
    Cubs will score a few today, several with big career numbers vs, Abbott.
  23. gflore34
    Pissbirds will lose tonight - Leiter.
  24. gflore34
    Was watching a little Braves-Phillies last night, they were discussing how it's not only the Reds but, league wide is not doing well against LHP.
  25. gflore34
    Right now his trade value is probably down, Cubs should try to buy low on him. I've no doubt those pissbirds are looking to do the same.
