Chris Coghlan to Cubs for Mendy; LaStella to DL
BigSlick replied to UMFan83's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Javy says no bueno I'd prefer Bryant there and for him to stick there, but I'll take Javy playing there Anyone that can actually, you know, field the position -
Chris Coghlan to Cubs for Mendy; LaStella to DL
BigSlick replied to UMFan83's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I just realized with La Stella on the DL we're finally gonna get Bryant at 3b as a regular thing Which is good -
Pirates down 11-6 in Colorado. Barring a late comeback (not inconceivable at Coors) that'll bring the Cubs back to 10 games up in the division. Feels good man

They've turned into the 2005-2006 era Cubs Oh man that 2006 team was the absolute nadir of my fandom to be honest. I think it was the excitement of the 2003-2004 teams, the reality of the 2005 team, and ultimate collapse of a garbage team led by one of the least likable managers of all time.

The White Sox are such a gaping hole of MLB level talent that they're furiously DFA'ing signing and trading for a revolving door of bums This is so entertaining

It gave you an absurdly good offense when you also got Schwarber behind the plate though. Whats up with all these hamstring pulls? Can we get Rusty Jones here? -
hahahahah
-
Ross has had a really charmed season and I think its playing with fire to expect him to extend it for another year, to be truly honest. But yeah. Montero has been real bad.
-
True. But this new guy actually makes the white Sox watchable. He has such an intense "Play by Play Guy Voice"
-
I'm trying to recall if this team has even had a wire-to-wire shellacking this season and I don't think we have. Even that "worst" loss of the season, 13-5 to the Reds, we had the lead and Lackey and the bullpen just imploded late. I don't think there's been like a 8-0 just pounding from 1st inning to 9th. It may not be possible against this team. Anyway, musings from one of those poor souls that doesn't forget.
-
I'm laughing so much over this James Shields start Boy did we catch a break not picking this dude up in the past few years
-
I'm gonna assume the game he's trying to reference was the game that the Cubs led most of the way, Lackey gave up the tying dinger, and then in the bottom of the 9th Adam Warren gave up a golfball to get walked off on. It was the last time the Cubs lost in that "bad" stretch (wasn't that bad) and then they reeled off like 8 in a row. I remember all this because I'm an insane person.
-
Nice! Thanks for the info. This also confirms my own gut judgment of Adam Warren, that being, he's pitched pretty well and he gave up some inopportune golf balls. It happens. I like him a lot.
-
Oh man this is the best thing I've read all day
-
lol at Clayton Richard dutifully earning a run there I almost feel bad for Richard because not only has he been bad, but he's had horrific luck on ground balls. I mean, he's gonna get DFA'd regardless, but his poor performance has only been compounded by bad luck.
-
Fools, do not complain about this use - lets make sure he's not available the next time the game is in question
-
Alright Joe, this is the perfect use of Clayton Richard right here
-
Baez has raised his average from .248 to .274 in this game alone haha
-
Heyward has been so much better and hitting the ball with authority this past week or so.
-
I'm upset that Fowler hasn't gotten a hit today solely for the reason that I want to see his beautiful sterling .300 AVG continue. Aesthetics, baby
-
It's more that he's having bad ABs up until the point that he gets a hit. Some bad swings early in counts. It seems like every at bat goes like this: 1st pitch down the middle, taken for a strike. 2nd pitch, swing wildly at something out of the zone. Then the at bat starts.
-
Strop just made those bums look foolish
-
I mean, Duke Silver is right in his article - Javy has no approach, and seemingly very little pitch recognition. But the man is superhumanly talented, and he's getting better at fouling off crummy pitches instead of just flailing at them. If we 're lucky we have Alfonso Soriano + absurd defense on the infield on our hands. If not we still have a very valuable baseball player on our hands.
-
a Nice 4-4 day for Javy
-
This is the "get fat Cubs hitters" day. all of a sudden
