Fowler and that waist high catch will never cease terrifying me.
-
If after 3 minutes you can't decide then it just needs to be call on the field.
-
Yeah, it was really bad form bunting. Not sure why they asked him to do it with 2 strikes if he's that bad.
-
Neither good nor cool.
-
Ok, enough horsefeathering around Rondon and then Chapman.
-
That and historically Grimm is very good against lefties.

Her swing analysis blows away what any other announcer for ESPN can do.
-
Ugh, Edwards. This is what I fear from him in the playoffs.
-
Not sure Lester is real happy about that whole thing happening.
-
and that broken bat single brings all the Yadi hate back.
-
Trying to have an important 5 minute plus interview should never be attempted during a game. It really feels like it's trivializing things.
-
wow, hell of a job escaping that. I felt like that was going to be a big inning.
-
1 run game, you can't do that.

9/17 - Brewers (Davies) @ Cubs (Arrieta) 3:05 WGN

I'm not even sure he's the #3 right now. Hammel is the only one I confidently start him over. -
weak head games

Following today's 3HR game, Brian Dozier is now sitting at 38HR. He is now 4HR away from tying Roger Hornsby for the single season HR record by a second basemen. Even more impressive is that of those 38HR, 24 have been hit since the ASB(206AB). His post ASB line .320/.367/.723, that's a .442 wOBA or 180 wRC+

Bryant has officially passed Trout in fWAR 7.3 to 7.1

What did this say? Someone said Cubs fans always throw shade on Grichuk and they don't know why. Then someone responded saying something like they knew Grichuk was more valuable than Bryant last year and they don't forget it or something dumb like that. Is Grichuk even with the MLB team right now? He's been sent back down to AAA so many times I've lost track.

A glut of young position depth, what to do in 2017?
Tryptamine replied to Jazz's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I wouldn't mind filling CF with someone who can be a menace on the bases. Outside of COL Blackmon is probably only good for 10-15 HR, but he'd be the kind of guy who would be good for 25+ SB. Would be nice to have a guy who could put themself in scoring position during touch match ups. Rajai Davis would be another guy I wouldn't mind if Szczur or Almora is gone. -

An offensive juggernaut for sure, but I'm not sure if I like that OF defense. Schwarber and Soler are both at best average, most towards below average, while Heyward loses some of his defensive value going to CF where he's going to have to cover a whole lot of ground. -
Any concern with the fact that Rizzo only has 4HR in 135ABs since the ASB? He's still getting on base and he's still hitting fairly well(.831OPS), he's just not hitting dongs. Here's to hoping he starts getting it together for the playoff run and playoffs.

I'd like to see if Hammel's option year could be dangled for a pitcher with more years of control. Something like Hammel+Candelario for De Leon,Y.Alvaraez,Musgrove or Martes. If that's not possible, then you almost have to deal one of Javy,Schwarber or Soler. -
I don't understand this need to trade away our good young players. SIgn FA starting pitching. Trade guys in the minors. Don't trade our big league guys. There is no one worth having in the 2016/2017 FA list and that's going to put a ton of pressure on them to add as many as 3 starters in 2017/2018FA

Thanks god, if Wood/Chapman had blown this game I'd have spent the next week in the fetal position sobbing.

I wonder how much value Hammel's 1 year option would bring from a contender. Something like Hammel to LAD for De Leon. One way or another Cubs need to get some under contract arms.
