  2. BigSlick
    Anthony Rizzo is so good at baseball yall
  3. BigSlick
    Please send help, Bryant is broken
  4. BigSlick
    Dexter, you're hitting well and have a great approach, don't bunt I dunno if i should blame him or Maddon for that
  5. BigSlick
    I don't understand Soriano coming in here at all. Isn't this prime opportunity or Wood? I don't get it

    26 games left against Miami, Atlanta, and Philadelphia, plus another 13 against the Rockies, Red Sox, and Reds. I'm already preparing myself to be spectacularly bitter that they factor in the race at all due to their garbage division. Maybe we should start really thinking about the Nationals as wild card rivals then :-&
  7. BigSlick
    I don't think the Mets are really gonna factor in much in the Wild Card race really, but maybe I'll rue those words.

    I feel a little bad for Clayton Richard, who pitched well and even with his bat provided the margin of victory, and also because Rafael Soriano still has a roster spot But whatever, no reason to care too much about the bottom of the roster

    Personally I like the guy that has 130 points of OPS and twice as many homers, but I'm weird
  10. BigSlick
    Cowley is a troll and knows it, those other guys...I think they're just really really dumb Particularly David Haugh Re: Catcher issues, I wish they could just dispense with David Ross, who is no longer a major league baseball player, but I know they can't
  11. BigSlick
    Whatever happened to the Cubs plans to get their own tv deal and a truckload of money anyway

    I'm not so confident that Lester, Arrieta, Hammels and Hendricks form the pitching core we can depend on for "years". Both Lester and Arrieta will be heading into their 30s, and I don't trust both of Hammels and Hendricks to continue sustained success with their stuff. And it's safe betting there'll be a catastrophic injury of *someone* during that time. You have to over prepare for pitchers exploding and there's unfortunately not much pitching talent ready to fill gaps when stuff goes wrong or we wouldn't be playing Hot Potato with Richard-Beeler-Wada this year.

    I didn't realize there were people other than David Haugh and the whole Sun-Times sports staff that really disliked the job Theo has done. I'm incredibly pleased and the team is more competitive this year than I had any expectations for. I'm excited for the next 5 or so years of Cubs baseball including watching Kris Bryant, Jorge Soler, Addison Russell and Kyle Schwarber, who have all been bonafide major league players and have tons of room to grow. I guess I'm somewhat concerned about pitching and the lack of talent on the farm side of things but, ah well. At no point did Hendry field a team that had a shot at sustained multiple year success that could replace talent in-house, which is what Theo is on the verge of doing. I wanna be the Cardinals, basically. And the infrastructure is there for that possibility.

    There you go, dunno why people were freaking so much
  15. BigSlick
    Just get the last out, whatever
  16. BigSlick
    God I am so tired of Ryan Braun
  17. BigSlick
    Hope Kris is ok and it's nothing serious And if he isn't I hope it's very mild and he can get a week or two to reboot his approach at the plate
  18. BigSlick
    Robot umps would be great
  19. BigSlick
    Kyle Lohse is really bad y'all
  20. BigSlick
    It's pretty amazing how Castro ruins something good he did so quickly
  21. BigSlick
    This is two really bad pitchers going at it so it'll like be 2-0 or something inexplicable because of it The thing about Clayton Richard is you look at that 2013 ERA and you're like "damn, thats bad, I wonder what his peripherals look like, maybe he just got pretty unlucky on some flyballs" and then you look at his FIP and it says to you "Nah man, he's been really bad in every way its possible to be bad" and then you look at his 2015 peripherals and you realize they're almost the same as 2013. Except with fewer strikeouts.
  22. BigSlick
    Honestly I wish Lester gave up his David Ross blankie and we could do without another extreme hole in the lineup with him
  23. BigSlick
    Will they go after another top pitcher: yes Will they be able to keep Jake long term: if they want to, yes Money is not an issue
  24. BigSlick
    Consider me in team #SatisfiedAndNotBlownAwayButMostlyHappy about this trade deadline
  25. BigSlick
