Marquee July 7 Broadcast to Feature All Female Broadcast
Irrelevant Dude replied to CubinNY's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Her voice always makes me feel like I'm watching an early-morning college basketball or football game for two low major schools. -
In order to be fun-bad, there has to be "fun." There is no fun involved in watching this team.
-
Pretty much that, except not necessarily Amaya being slow that prevented the double. It would have been an easy play at second if he tried to advance.
-
Please, no. Leave Busch alone at 1B. It's fine if he needs to fill in at 2B/3B in a pinch, but let him primarily focus on hitting and playing ONE defensive position.
-
Whose fault is it then when a big ticket free agent signing doesn't pan out? Neris being bad is absolutely on Hoyer. Did anyone think he would be THIS bad? No, almost certainly not, but his signing was a bit of a head scratcher from the start.
-
Brennen Davis hasn't played since June 11, so I would say he isn't even an option right now.
-
What's Theo up to these days? Is he available to come back and give a "the offense broke" assessment? How's tomorrow?
-
Love Boog and JD continually pointing out the Cubs flawed bullpen construction.
-
Even a horse whisperer can struggle to work with donkeys.
-
Then who is going to close?
-
When near 7 ERA Kyle Hendricks at 100+ pitches would have been a better option in the 8th inning than the first guy out of the bullpen, what does that say about the bullpen?
-
Whatever mediocre minor league he can bring in return isn't worth trading away the last of the 2016 team.
-
Bravo Kyle. Here's an "L" for your efforts.
-
There is being overmatched, and then there's looking like you have absolutely no concept of how to approach an at bat. Unfortunately. PCA falls into the latter category.
-
Oy, Seiya. That... was awful.
-
Wait, why do minor league options come into play here for a top of rotation starter?
-
It's going to be both depressing and hilarious when they end up with a better pick than the White Sox.
-
The only one I possibly disagree with is Ballasteros. The Cubs catching situation is dire right now. IF Ballasteros can handle catching a Major League staff, and that's a big "if", then I'm not opposed to taking a chance and giving him a shot.
-
You know it. Jed is going to get the Reinsdorf mandate to push for the playoffs.
-
No pressure Kyle. We just need a CG shutout tomorrow night.
-
For most teams, that would be a crushing defeat. For the Cubs, is just your average Monday night.
-
For those of you tracking Blown Saves at home, add one to your ticker.
-
I couldn't tell if he got a great break on the ball off the bat. If not, he made up a lot of ground but just couldn't quite get there
-
Here we go. The ole "plug a journeyman into the closer role and hope it works."
-
I like Busch and he has been good, but man does he swing through a lot of seemingly hittable pitches.
