Chapman to the DL
Tryptamine replied to Tryptamine's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
To be honest it's not, it was more a joke since they sent him to the DL primarily to rest him and work on mechanics. -
The Cubs are just magnificent with RISP. Guy walks the bases loaded and the next two hitters strike out on 7 pitches combined.
-
Bailey is getting squeezed pretty bad and I think his head is about to explode. Totally rattled by the tight strike zone.

A minor issue or another notch on Dusty Baker's belt? http://cincinnati.reds.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20110516&content_id=19135652&vkey=news_cin&c_id=cin

This should have been stopped a long time ago.

2011 Draft Discussion
Tryptamine replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Entirely agree with this. If the Cubs can walk away with one of Bundy, Starling, Gray, Bauer I will be thrilled. Lindor is the one guy I really don't want them to take. -
Juan Pierre and Theriot say hi.

I just threw up a little.

2011 Draft Discussion
Tryptamine replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Vitters Brett Jackson, too. I'd be shocked if the Cubs went "off the radar" with this pick. There is too much elite talent available at the top of the draft for them to make a surprise pick like Colvin or Simpson. Dylan Bundy is a machine. He is up to 147 K's and 5 walks on the season. I know it's just HS hitters, but those are crazy numbers. If we can come out of this draft with Bundy or Starling I would be thrilled. I wouldn't exactly be disappointed with Jed Bradley, Bauer, or Gray but one of those high schoolers would be my preference if Rendon and Cole go 1-2, as expected. Jackson was hated by most of the board (for good reasons at the time) but everyone expected him to go to the Cubs in 2009. In fact, people were rooting for him to go off the board with every pick because they were so sure the Cubs would pick him. Vitters was not a surprise but some wanted Wieters. Cashner wasn't a huge surprise but wasn't well liked until there were signs that the Cubs were serious about trying him as a starter. Colvin and Simpson were huge surprises. Yeah I was amongst those desperately hoping someone would take Jackson. I remember being so pissed off when they took him with Tim Wheeler, Scheppers, Poythress and Heckathorn available. Oops. -
General 2011 Other Games Thread
Tryptamine replied to soccer10k's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Am I wrong in thinking it was extremely dumb for the Red Sox to bring Bucholz back out after a two hour rain delay? I would think they'd be much more cautious him. -
Awesome
-
seriously this is the type of [expletive] that happens to the Cubs regularly and no one else.
-
Wow, seriously [expletive] wow.
-
Soto doesn't count apparently
-
and hit a HR in his first at bat......
-
Of course.
-
This strike zone sucks.
-
Cobs
-
Pretty much no excuse for that type of result on a 2-0 pitch.
-
I do enjoy when Bob calls out Quade.
-
Reed hitting against a righty why?
-
A Fonzie-bomb? Nope, people are on base.
-
With Theriot gone someone has to do it.
