  1. That's kind of like asking to explain why a good home run hitter can't steal bases.
  2. His decision to not throw that ball also may be what limited the damage this inning. That was not an easy throw to make even for a good defensive pitcher.
  3. It was a ball that a pitcher would typically field, but it would have been a tough play and I would prefer that Lester just do what he did instead of throwing the ball down the right field line.
  4. I'm not exhaling yet. He could certainly stay in to run the bases and then leave for x-rays after this half of the inning.
  5. This isn't the answer to your question, but I don't think pushing the net at near ground level would cause much movement at popup height.
  6. This would be a really nice 2 day break for the high leverage bullpen guys.
  7. i wish they gave baez the call instead honestly. Not against Kluber. Let Baez get a few more days in Iowa and find a favorable match up for his return to the Cubs.
  8. No wonder La Stella hurts himself with swings like that.
  9. How is video game Coghlan different from real life outfielder Coghlan? You could say that he will be a below-average defender in Right Field, which is exactly what Soler has been all season.
  10. The good news for Motte is that when his shoulder is trashed he can still rely on his arsenal of off-speed pitches.
  11. I would have liked to see Baez in place of La Stella, but I guess it probably makes sense to break Baez in with some favorable matchups (not Kluber). He will be up in a week anyway.
  12. Just watching Gameday, it looks like Hendricks has really been painting the corners.
  13. I just received my postseason ticket invoice. Yikes! Those are some jacked up prices. The postseason invoice is almost as much as my full 81 game regular season package.
  14. If this is what it is like to play the Tigers, I sure am glad the Cubs don't have to play the Blue Jays.
  15. If Castro made the Kinsler errors we would never hear the end of it. Of course if he hit the same way, I would take it.
  16. Coming in down 3 runs in the 7th is pretty close to a mop up role. If you can't even feel good about putting a reliever in that scenario, his roster spot is undeserved Perhaps so, but we're less than 2 weeks from September so I don't imagine they will make any moves with him. He will just see less time once the AAA reinforcements come up.
