LOL -
and Russell strikes again
-
Only I would have my fantasy baseball season depending on whether or not Gregg gets a save in this game.
-
for the love of god Rizzo please hit one out
-
HP ump blowing another game
-
stat heads: is it just me or is Barney walking more lately?
-
87 pitches and Dale pulls Rusin after a one out walk in the 7th! What an idiot this guy is.
-
Sure it is. He has starts where he looks like he's harnessed his stuff, and starts where he walks everyone and hit gets hit all over the park while striking out no one. That's been his whole career for the most part. That's the career of most pitchers. I mean, you have batters who look useful or even great about 30% of the time and then stink the other 70%. Its ridiculous. If a pitcher "stinks" 70% of the time, they are probably not going to be in a major league rotation. Not fair to use that comparison.

So which is it? Aren't there guys who have stuck around the majors for years that you wouldn't consider consistent? Jason Marquis and Aaron Harang come to mind. They are good enough every now and then to get rotation spots somewhere every year and to me, that is what Jackson is. Whether or not that makes him a "consistent ML starter" is a matter of semantics. And TT, I get what you are saying, but it's not just emotional. You can tell me "he's been unlucky" or "his stats don't tell the story," but regardless of how bad the cubs offense and bullpen are, the majority of his starts have been awful, and we've seen little to no improvement on his career trends, which is what we hoped when we signed him.

"I don't care what the facts are, now read more of my emotional ramblings. This deserves a thread!!" SHUT IT DOWN. LET'S GO HOME. Sure they are emotional, but an ERA of 5 is a fact too. I know there are better stats to evaluate pitchers, but it can't be ignored.
-
He just doesn't consistently give the Cubs chances to win games. Been the same pitcher his whole career.
-
pretty sure he's just mentally a disaster
-
WIN!!
-
nice night for Barney
-
also why the hell hasn't Strop been put in yet?
-
Navarro's defense is unbelievably bad.
-
major "ONLY THE CUBS" on that bunt.
-
lol, Lake. really?
-
wow... that throw.
-
I thought Alonso was a terrible defender? He's made some nice picks in this series.
-
Wow, Dick Enberg just implied that Venable hit for the cycle last night as the Padres broadcast went to break.
-
Go ahead and throw all sorts of advanced statistics out, but this guy is never going to be a consistent major league starter. If he's anything higher than our #4 starter, this team is not going to be competitive. He had a nice month, but the signing is looking like a bad one.
-
Damn, Jackson struggling to hold a 6 run lead against the Padres is pretty disheartening.
-
Fire the whole coaching staff. That's the last straw.
