  1. Wada's pitch count is pretty high for the 6th inning, though. 88 pitches through 6, what's his MLB career high?
  2. O's hangout can't understand how they can lose to an NL team. Giving up a HR to a guy that has 3 HR's all year. (Never mind that he's been up in the bigs for about 6 weeks total)
  3. It amuses me that since the July 4 trade, Hendricks and Wada have been clearly better pitchers than Samardzija and Hammel, so much so that the Cubs' staff hasn't missed a beat.
  4. Cubs now have more runs scored than the Padres...and the Cardinals, Reds and Red Sox.
  5. If Baez goes 1 for 5 with a HR and 4 Ks every game...I can deal with that.
  6. Current standings for protected 2015 picks: Top 10 (protected) picks ------------------------------ # Team W L GA ------------------------------ 1 Texas 49 78 10 2 Colorado 50 77 9 3 Arizona 54 75 6 4 Houston 55 74 5 5 Chicago NL 56 72 3.5 5 Boston 56 72 3.5 7 Philadelphia 57 71 2.5 8 Minnesota 57 70 2 9 Chicago AL 59 69 0.5 10 San Diego 59 68 0 ------------------------------ 11 New York NL 60 69 - 12 Cincinnati 61 68 - Meaning if the Cubs pass another 5 teams, they'd lose their pick if they signed a top flight FA this offseason (except for special cases, like Lester).
  7. No, technically Boston has 2 more runs than the Cubs since they've scored 3 tonight.
  8. Padres are definitely one of them. I'm guessing the other one is somebody you wouldn't expect...Pirates? Pirates are actually 4th in the NL in runs scored behind Colorado, Milwaukee and Washington.
  9. Random Cubs trivia: Name the two teams in MLB that have scored fewer runs than the Cubs this season.
  10. I was greatly amused at how much they said the opposite of what was true about the Cubs.
  11. Also cute, the O's fans at the hangout actually think the Cubs are somehow rubbing it in by pitching Arrieta and Strop today, as opposed to the possibility that Arrieta's turn was up in the rotation, and Strop is the normal setup man.
  12. Strop in, just to remind the O's exactly how much they gave up for a handful of Feldman starts.
  13. I'd say he's throwing batting practice, but I'm not sure players hit this well during batting practice.
  14. Valaika in at second, hitting 7th. Everyone else bumped up a spot in the lineup.
  15. @BruceMiles2112 1m Starlin Castro out because of family emergency. Baez to play short.
  16. Wada with the rare combination of a complete game, shutout, and yet not a quality start.
  17. Considering the OF the Cubs have this year and they probably won't have 95 losses with it, I'm guessing two straw men and a scarecrow.
  18. That is every pitcher's floor, and why I wouldn't trade a cost-controlled, 24 year old all star SS for any of them.
  19. That's not true, they play the Mets tomorrow. *After this series. Forgot we have the weird 4 game series that goes Fri-Mon Also a decent chance Cincy is below .500 at the end of the day today.
  20. That's not true, they play the Mets tomorrow.
  21. Worst first pitch in history? http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--qRO2LnM0--/c_fit,fl_progressive,q_80,w_636/llg04q2thppeytykkwjd.gif
  22. Just because someone agrees with you doesn't make it a good idea.
  23. This year, the highest team OBP is .332 (Pittxburgh). In 2008, this was the Cubs' every day lineup, with OBPs: 1. Soriano .344 2. Theriot .387 3. Lee .361 4. Ramirez .380 5. Edmonds .369 6. DeRosa .376 7. Fukudome .359 8. Soto .364
