    This being Wada's 2nd AAA start, is it fairly safe to say that he'll be up in the next week, or will they give him another?
  2. Little Slide Rooter
    People were fairly high on him before we had real prospects to get excited over. I think there was even a Pedroia comp or two. Then he got hurt, and Almora, Soler, and Bryant happened, and his time as a thing came to an end.
  3. Little Slide Rooter
    Yeah, but this is Odd Number Year Travis Wood. Even Number Travis Wood is the guy we can do without.
  4. Little Slide Rooter
    Maybe this isn't nearly as impressive as it sounds to me, but in 73.8 IP, then Cubs starting pitchers have ssued 16/72 BB/K.
  5. Little Slide Rooter
    I figure if we were willing to gut $4mil on Dave Veres after 2 months, these guys aren't going to mess around for much longer.
  6. Little Slide Rooter
    I want that game to happen every night.
  7. Little Slide Rooter
    That's not how a fake rally works.
  8. Little Slide Rooter
    Bring on the non-fake rally, boys!
  9. Little Slide Rooter
    We won't see Brian Schlitter again for 24 hours.
  10. Little Slide Rooter
    I'm at the point where I just hate relief pitchers as a people.
  11. Little Slide Rooter
    But Heinrich was good once.
  12. Little Slide Rooter
    Come on, Castro. Be the Anti Schlitter
  13. Little Slide Rooter
    Blake Cooper. Joe Ortiz. Drake Britton. [expletive] it, hunt down the bloated carcass of Billy Petrick. Just no more with the Brian Schlitter.
  14. Little Slide Rooter
    My money's on Junior Lake. Not my first choice, not my last choice either, but he's done nothing to work his way back into the future plans. Being a right handed corner OF doesn't help his cause.
  15. Little Slide Rooter
    I was thinking that too. Until Javy returns, they're essentially a spare parts shop. Junior Lake's flame burns no more, Christian Villanueva's not helping his stock. Rivero's still worth checking in on from time to time, but that's about it.
  16. Little Slide Rooter
    I think he did. Dear God, why didn't Lou, Quade, Dale, Dusty, and that guy who was manager last year think of that? No wonder they were willing to risk tampering allegations to get him.
  17. Little Slide Rooter
    This news makes me happy.
  18. Little Slide Rooter
    Until Large Man becomes an official position, he remains an Infielder.
  19. Little Slide Rooter
    The problem is keeping a personal catcher on the roster that's now led Lester to a 7 ERA in 3 starts Bingo. The Ross thing is such [expletive]. Not even Theo can avoid an unnecessary meatball move here and there. It wouldn't be as big a deal if we didn't already have a noodle bat on the bench in Hererra/Mendy. And in 4 of every 5 games, we have Ross plus one of those 2 comprising 1/2 of our bench; and Denorfia doesn't exactly strike fear into the hearts of pitchers either.
  20. Little Slide Rooter
    But seriously, I awoke to this atop the page, and got very excited for a moment before realizing it was from November.
  21. Little Slide Rooter
    And get excited about the return of Cy Wood!
  22. Little Slide Rooter
    I'll probably be considered a horrible, insensitive ass for even thinking this, but any idea when Javy's returning?
  23. Little Slide Rooter
    I'm really not getting what's going on with Jackson. He hasn't pitched since 4/10. Either he's dealing with an injury, in which case he should be DL'd, or Maddon doesn't trust him as anything but mop up duty, in which case we're better off choking down whatever money he's owed and call up someone who might play once in a while.
  24. Little Slide Rooter
    Another reason why it's strange that they pulled Hendricks after 81 pitches I just feel like I see something like this more than 1.1% of the time I feel as though Jackson hasn't pitched in a very long time. Not a bad thing, just a thing.
  25. Little Slide Rooter
    All part of the master plan for a 1st pitch walk of Bryant Bomb.
