Throw strikes you horsefeathering idiots
-
would you rather the losses come against teams that might matter? In the regular season they all count the same.
-
On the verge of dropping another game to terrible team and now both Rodon and Strop wont be available tomorrow. Awesome.
-
So what is that, 7 outs that Heyward is responsible for tonight?
-
jesus, even Cahill gets babip screwed
-
The results only make me hate the Javy for Rizzo decision more.
-
This is why I don't like Baez pinch running for Rizzo. You best bench bat is going to be the only one who doesn't get an AB.
-
Nicely done Cobs.
-
Only one out, I consider that a win.
-
Can we hit Baez here please? This has inning ending DP written all over it.
-
Really good base running by Soler.
-
horsefeathers this
-
Am I missing something? Didn't he throw 11 pitches that inning? I posted it after the 3rd person in 5 hitters he started 0-2 and went full on.
-
Ugh, I expect Fowler out the next couple days.
-
Lackey should be good for all of 4 innings at this rate.
-
Well that was an absolutely moronic safety squeeze. Now you leave it up to Ross and Lackey.
-
Brewers taking the nice long at bats while the Cubs go down hacking in 10 pitches. This feels exactly like yesterday.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 5-16-16
Tryptamine replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
If he's locating that curve now and the the change can be average to slightly above, we could have our first legitimate top of the rotation prospect under Theo. -
Matt Harvey with another 5ER game in 5.2 IP. Combine that with Matz skipping a start due to elbow soreness and degrom's K rate down nearly 3 per 9 innings and his fastball velocity down nearly 2.5mph and people in New York have to be freaking out.
-
Just don't roll over it for two.
-
Throwing strikes to a guy who is trying to give you an out is truly difficult. Good job.
-
Well, looks like Lester is going to be lucky to go 6 after a 25 pitch 1st.
-
His 10.7BB% is way above league average and his 22.6K% is down near 7.5% from last year, so why is Soler OPSing .552? I'm afraid the changes the Cubs made to get more loft in his swing are probably cause for what we're seeing this year. His LD% is down 7 from last year and his FB% is up from 30% to 43% which is Bautista territory. All of this would be fine if Soler was putting up premier slugging ratios like 20%HR/FB, but he's only putting up 8.5%HR/FB. Thanks to those drastic changes in batted ball profile you can't even call his .202babip unlucky. The off season changes basically took away what Soler does best, hit missiles. Last year's Soler with a 10.7BB% and 22.6% is very likely an .800+ OPS guy.
-
Well that pretty much wipes out any quality pitching that was available in next year's FA class.
-
Wow, that was the most Cardinalish horsefeathers I've ever seen.
