Next game is on WPWR? They need to throw a few more networks into the mix. -
4/10 Cubs (Wood) @ Rockies (Matzek) 3:10 WGN
Irrelevant Dude replied to OleMissCub's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Because Szczur misplayed one ball? -
The rotation has been adjusted for the upcoming games. Friday-Sunday vs. Colorado will be Wood, Hammel, and Hendricks, in that order. Any idea what the justification could be for flipping Wood and Hammel? Also, this means Lester will have 7 days between starts. Is it too soon to worry that he may have lingering issues from the "dead arm" period?
-
How much money does this rainout make the cubs knowing they can now sell marquee bleacher tickets to a summer game?
-
Opening night followed by 3 days out of 4 off... That just isn't fair.
-
We won our opener in 2013 unless you mean home openers. Oops, I was looking at the wrong list. You are right.
-
That makes five straight opening day losses.
-
Neither did Oscar Taveras. Too soon?
-
What would they do with all the extra air time leftover from the shots of the broadcast booth?
-
That won't fly. You know STL is the only team allowed to accuse an opponent of cheating. I'm not sure it's actually illegal because he starts his movement toward home with his foot on the rubber and it's one continuous motion. I could be wrong but I didn't see anything about it in the rule book. I would make a continuous motion where I spin repeatedly like the tasmanian devil and then hand the ball to the catcher.
-
Since we're allowing pitchers to throw without their foot on the rubber now, Edwin Jackson should go into his windup, then run 10 feet toward home plate and let the ball fly. He may be a useful pitcher after all.
-
Stiff front leg... Sounds like an AC/DC song.
-
Nothing to show for it, but Olt's approach does look much better so far.
-
When does Travis Wood get his first at bat?
-
No, because then if both backups get hurt the Cubs are out of catchers.
-
"This is where a veteran pitcher throws a fastball and freezes a young hitter." Spoken as if Rizzo is a rookie who hasn't proven anything at the major league level.
-
Oh give me a break. He's not comfortable throwing the ball to bases? American league pitchers have to field to you know.
-
Is the 5.1 audio awful for anyone else?
-
I may have missed it, but has the final roster even been announced? Who made the team between Sweeney, Szczur, and Herrera?
-
I assume that Wood before Hendricks is only to break up the two lefties. I'm alright with that.
-
And once it is unrolled, it can never fit back into the box again no matter how hard they try.
-
Gross! Take it down!
-
Assuming that Baez shows improvement in AAA to justify being recalled (not a safe assumption), what is his service time date? Late May?

2015 Spring Training Game Thread
Irrelevant Dude replied to David's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
3 more K's from Baez today. He has to start the season in Iowa, right? -
No. I am tired of seeing people clamor for a shorter season, shorter games, etc. I want as many games to watch as possible and when I attend a game I certainly don't want it to be over in 2 hours. For a majority of people complaining about those things, they aren't going to be satisfied no matter what changes are made. It feels like MLB is chasing an audience that simply isn't interested in their product. I understand they want to expand their fan base, but I fail to see how shortening the season by 5% (or any amount for that matter) accomplishes that.
