Justin Fields’ make or break camp begins
Irrelevant Dude replied to jersey cubs fan's topic in Other Sports
I saw a guy with a Bagent jersey at my son's baseball game today. Actually, it was an old Bears #17 jersey (probably Alshon Jeffrey) with "Bagent" taped over the nameplate, but that still counts. -
Minor League Musings
Irrelevant Dude replied to Little Slide Rooter's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
It is unfortunate, but I wonder how far away we are from a Brennen Davis DFA. There was still some hope going into this season, but it's appears now that he might be finished as a serious prospect. With the upcoming roster crunch, is it really worth dedicating a 40 man spot to him after this season? -
I'm hoping for 4-3 or better over the next two series, but I'm trying to temper my expectations. I won't be overly upset if the Cubs lose 2 to the Brewers and split with the Reds. I think the Reds series is much more important and I just don't want to let them gain ground in the head to head games.
-
Wouldn't have mattered because the throw wasn't on time, but unsurprisingly Wisdom couldn't come up with the easy pick at first.
-
Where have we seen something like that before?
-
Looking ahead to next week, the Diamondbacks have the Dodgers and Orioles, so I'm ok with them winning this one.
-
It's so hard to know who to root for right now, but my general preference is to knock a team or two further back from the race even if that means another team jumps ahead of the Cubs.
-
What am I missing here?
-
We need them to play the world-beater Nationals instead.
-
I'm pretty much conceding the division. Just try to hang on to a wild card spot.
-
Can't even hold onto an 8-1 lead. This team is running on fumes.
-
Drew Smyly, is that you?
-
Forearm strain. Not good.
-
Lost in everything else was another solid outing from Kyle. Outside of the first inning struggles, he has been really good.
-
I always go back to only overturning the obvious missed calls. If a reasonable person can look at a replay and immediately know that they blew the call, overturn it. If you have to study 3 different angles to make the conclusion that he was "probably" out, then the call stands. As it is currently, they definitely stray too much into the subjective territory.
-
Ok, let's leave Smyly in that role.
-
At least they are hitting the ball harder now. It only took 8 innings.
-
Offense is really cooking tonight.
-
When/why did Kyle go away from throwing the curveball? A 2 pitch pitcher with one of those pitches being a mid 80's fastball wouldn't seem to be a great recipe for success. He has still been getting by pretty well, but was his curve really that bad to take it out of his repertoire almost completely?
-
Nico, what are you doing?
-
These Pirates uni's are awful.
-
The old Lovie Smith, "the second half of the fourth quarter of the season" trick.
-
Pretty sure he was just reducing it down to the 3 remaining games.
-
Easy win! All I'm asking now is 7+ scoreless innings from Kyle tomorrow.
