My MLB.tv was somehow like a full 3 minutes behind after the commercial. My phone exploded before Ross even came to the plate. Haha

You can pretty much say anything negative that you want right now and I won't disagree with you.

Dayton Moore says nothing is finalized.

I mean, I still think we make the playoffs. But it's also ok to be angry that before the Peralta homerun I was starting to imagine a run at the division and now we're behind the Giants. That's a pretty quick turn from "we're really good!" to "man, I hope we can stay in the race."

Desperately needed for this team. Their rotation is awful and hurting right now.

7/25 Phillies (Hamels) @ Cubs (Arrieta) 3:05 CT ABC
Sammys Boombox replied to ctcf's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
I am going full meatball and saying at this moment right now I hate this team. I don't care if they have been hovering around .500 for the last few weeks. The hitting is horrendous. With the pitching we have been getting we could have been putting ourselves in a very good spot. I know we're still in it, and I am not giving up, but I am really pissed at them right now. -
Too bad Castro isn't hitting here
-
Score more than 3 runs in these conditions. Really starting to hate this offense.

i like his wikipedia listing: what an odyssey. 10 major league teams, 17 minor league teams, 4 winter ball clubs, and a stint in taiwan. When first skimming this I read "Lions" as "Loans" and thought he played for some team sponsored by loan sharks.

I'd rather get steroid Bonds than any player in baseball history. God that would be fun to watch. well we had like the next best thing And he was more fun than Bonds.

It was the 6th inning before I knew the Cubs had tied it. Was walking into Kauffman Stadium when I found out. I freaking love the wifi at Kauffman. I watch the Cubs on my phone, so I saw the winning hit. Is the wifi good at Wrigley yet?

The "occupied base" is in regards to the runner. The pitcher has to throw "to the base." Therefore, a fielder has to be at the base if he doesn't step off. In other words, the pitcher can't be in contact with the plate and turn around and throw it to the second baseman who is halfway between first and second. He has to step off first to do that. It's ridiculous to be used in this case. It also brings up the classic argument of why can't a pitcher with a runner on first, 2 outs, 3-2 do an inside move to second base? The rules state that second is an unoccupied base, BUT that you can throw to an unoccupied base (second) to make a play - runner is stealing second.

Unreal. That balk is never called. This happened in a Riyals game earlier this year and it was not called. Nobody even said a word. Nobody noticed it. It would have brought in the winning run from third.
-
And. Baseball sucks again.
-
Lester throws Friday. Please find a way to get Schwarber in the lineup tonight and/or Friday.
-
He ready has a Sandberg game.
-
Please do it this inning.
-
I think half of Hamilton's hits and all of his walks are against the Cubs.
-
Any time the Cubs want to start taking walks again on 3-2 pitches I'll be really happy.
-
Rizzo and Soler remind us that even when the pitcher can't find the plate we won't capitalize on a chance to go ahead. Ugh
-
Still waiting for the 3-run HR... Hahahh
-
It's GABP. Somebody hit a 3-run HR already.

Let's All Freak Out About Jorge Soler, You Guys
Sammys Boombox replied to ctcf's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
His second HR of his 2 HR game in St. Louis last year was one of the most impressive HR I have seen in person. I still think if he learns to elevate the ball on a regular basis he's going to be playing pepper with the LF bleachers. I'm still amazed at the raw power we have assembled. Soler needs to learn to hit breaking stuff though.
