  1. A really crappy soft-tossing LHP the Cubs called up at the end of the season (2006). I barely remember him, but he pitched one gutsy game against the Astros. There's no shame in not remembering this guy lol. He was brought up because we ran out of pitchers during a 16-inning win over Houston towards the end of that season and he happened to be the guy whose turn it was at AA. He never would've made the bigs otherwise. He had a random great start the next afternoon and was a pretty cool story. I think he started one more time, didn't do as well, and that was it for him.
  2. I know it isn't this simple but it feels like his game plan is basically "here it is, see if you can hit it". Probably won't work forever but it's awesome to see.
  3. Ok, Adbert will be taking the next start. Easy gas and some filthy movement on the off speed.
  4. I'm gonna put on my UMFan hat here and whine about us never being in perfect defensive position for these ground balls
  5. We can't get the full Aaron Miles Part II experience from him if we just cut bait now.
  6. Nothing about that proposal makes sense. New stadiums both places? Even if Tampa's now doesn't have to have a roof because they're not playing in Tampa during the hot part of the season, how is that more feasible than building one? What's the team name? Where do you play the playoff games? How is the TV stuff figured out? Just move to Montreal if that's what you're going to do. Seems like the fans there want that and clearly Tampa's stadium situation isn't going to improve.
  7. Sensible move. Sort of wish they'd just start Adbert if they're bringing him up anyway.
  8. Well that was probably the most predictable thing ever
  9. Nova really sucks. It's the right move.
  10. That's a break. Abreu might have done that on purpose but it would be hard to say it was clear
  11. Stunning that we couldn't score 1 run in 5 innings off Nova's corpse and get away with it
  12. Please stop asking an unemployed old yutz what he thinks of a place he has nothing to do with anymore
  13. That HR from Rizzo might be the biggest hit of the season to date if Pedro can close it out
  14. Ballsy effort from Darvish, especially going through the meat of the order at over 100 pitches.
  15. If we're never going to win, let's at least get a hit.
  16. Thanks to the Cubs for relieving my FOMO by just deciding not to score two nights in a row after I went to bed.
  17. Of course the one guy they have who's not a great hitter goes yard anyway
  18. The time is right to call on our stopper. Get it done, Professor.
