  1. On pace for 109/110 pitches. He threw 108 last start.
  2. Ned Yost put Moustakas in the 2-hole so he would hit like the best player on the team. That worked. Maybe Maddon is trying the same voodoo with Castro. Maybe they should also teach him to hit it the other way with authority like Moustakas.
  3. Please start taking walks again. And please stop sucking at the plate in general, Cubs.
  4. Ugh. Montero swung at ball 3. Sure would have liked our chances after a lead off walk.
  5. We're taking the lead this inning.
  6. I really hate that Motte couldn't get a K with 2 strikes instead of allowing the sac bunt there.
  7. Is it just me or are we lining out to outfielders at a ridiculous pace this week?
  8. Is the league adjusting to us by throwing us more strikes? Pitch counts against us have been very low this week compared to the rest of the season.
  9. I know I'm in the minority, but I really wish we were a lot less active on the bases. Especially with the wind blowing out like this.
  10. Do you guys like how the grass is different every home stand? RUSSELL WHAT A PLAY!
  11. There's a lot of guys who get shifted even though they aren't pull-monsters just because they very rarely hit groundballs the opposite way. That might be a bit aggressive for Bryant, but the downside is limited. So when he goes the other way it's usually in the air/line drive? I could buy that. Would love to see the chart.
  12. How is Hellickson only at 82 pitches and 1 BB against this lineup?
  13. I thought Bryant hit balls like that to RF. Actually, he did that just yesterday. Does his spray chart really indicate they should be shifting on him?
  14. This inning sums up this series. Minus the Rizzo to the rescue of last night.
  15. Same here. One of the things about Maddon and this team is I don't think one game affects them the next day. 8-3 their last 11. All 3 of those losses were really frustrating in their own way (mainly the SP were really good and our offense was not/didn't cash in their chances). But we also won some games where we were less than stellar. I just want wins "in the bag" because that's less games we have to win later to win the division or wild card.
  16. Delgado all of the sudden made three good pitches.
  17. Has not thrown a pitch in the zone. This is not good
  18. Please win so I can read Kurkjian's end of the year article say something about Russell getting a win without throwing a pitch.
