The gif theme tomorrow should be any movie that deals with the end of the world, Armageddon, or any apocalyptic event. -
Pack it in. Rebuild. Sell off all the parts that are still moving.

Should have run on Dexter.

Should run on Dexter all day.

Please be this filthy all year, Carl.

1. Hendricks 2. Adbert Alzolay 3. Bullpen Day 4. Drew Smyly 5. Another Bullpen Day Great time to ask as I forgot baseball has minor leagues. Is Adbert legit? Like, does he have a real chance to be a mini stud in MLB if he stays healthy? And how close is he to being ready for the bigs? He's a legit prospect. But who knows what the hell will happen with him in the big leagues? He's not like a Syndergaard-type sure thing. He probably won't be a stud. But he could certainly have a future in a major league rotation. And he's probably pretty close to being ready -- should help us out of the pen and make some spot starts this year.

Thank you, Javy.

Why did Heyward move back up closer to the plate?
-
Left-handed Chatwood ought to be able to bail us out here.

lol Chatwood

horsefeathering hell

Chatwood will be an interesting test case for Cy Young voters when he walks 200 batters and has a 0.89 ERA.

Hope you guys enjoyed those runs. That’s our monthly supply.

Go eat a lizard, Mike.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 5-4-18
Aaron Kennelly replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Amaya didn't really have many opportunities to show me anything. They didn't try to run on him, seeing as how it was a 10-run game most of the game. He had a single but that was it at the plate. He took some good hacks and was pretty patient. He fought off some pitches. He didn't really drive the ball or anything. He hit one ball hard but it was a routine ground out. I didn't get a good read on his framing because I was right behind the plate. But he looked pretty athletic back there. I thought he did a nice job of receiving. He got low in his crouch and gave a good window for the ump. He looked smooth -- wasn't really stabbing at the ball from what I could see. But I couldn't tell much, other than that he looked pretty natural. Thanks! Yeah, it kind of sucks when you go to a game to watch a highly-rated prospect(s) and they don't really do much or pitch poorly. I'm happy his receiving and actions looked good behind the plate. Were there any scouts or execs there? I know Jed and even Theo would occasionally go to games when they had that awesome group of Baez, Bryant, Soler and Almora. I doubt they go to very many games now. There were quite a few scouts there last night. As for the Cubs' contingent, there were three really young guys and Brendon Little was sitting with a notebook next to the guy with the radar gun. -
Dates user r_mack has posted here: 5/4: Loss 5/1: Loss 4/17: Loss 4/14: Win 4/10: Loss 4/9: Rainout 4/3: Rainout 4/2: Loss 4/1: Loss So the only time you've posted in a game thread when the Cubs won, it was because they were losing 10-2 at the time of your posting. You should probably just quit following baseball, dude.

South Bend is really bad, though. Almost completely devoid of talent, other than Amaya. -

Man, I need to get out there sometime. Let me know the next time you decide to go Duke! How does Miguel Amaya look? He's playing today right? They say he's pretty advanced defensively and I wonder how advanced his catching skills are. Like how does his pitcher framing/receiving look like from where you're sitting. It's kinda hard to tell during a game or from a bad angle. Is he good at blocking balls that bounce in the dirt/limiting wild pitches? Does he have a cannon for an arm like Contreras? I think Miguel Amaya will be our #1 ranked prospect by the end of the year so I'm really curious about how he looks in person. Amaya didn't really have many opportunities to show me anything. They didn't try to run on him, seeing as how it was a 10-run game most of the game. He had a single but that was it at the plate. He took some good hacks and was pretty patient. He fought off some pitches. He didn't really drive the ball or anything. He hit one ball hard but it was a routine ground out.

As Duke's proxy going back to last year, it really isn't as bad as it seems. Duke'ster is too busy galavanting around the minor league system right now to care or be worried about anything involving the MLB team other than how many games above 90 they win. Bad news on that front: The minor league system is really freaking bad. I couldn't kill any of them because they're already dead.

We're fine. We're still 3 games over .500. +24 run differential. Only 1.5 back. And we've played like absolute ass. We'll get hot eventually and run away with the division. I hope for my sanity it's soon though.

Assad is 89-91 with his fastball. Struggling with his control. https://streamable.com/u7tb0 And... he just gave up a bases-clearing double. -
Theo laid a trail of wine bottle leading into the bounce house and then locked Joe inside.
