  1. Since coming up to AA and his first outing on 5/7, he has 12 appearances. In the same time frame, the only Cub with more appearances is Schlitter. I don't think they'll institute him as the 8th or 9th inning guy this year, but if there's opportunity(and currently there is not) I don't think workload will be what keeps him in the minors. That's all well and good but only once (and that was Saturday and Monday) have they even had him pitch on one days rest. Still clearly taking it easy on him and pretty much the only way I see him getting to the bigs this yr is a few mop up sept innings.
  2. Arodys can't pitch every other day much less back to back days. He ain't comin up this year
  3. How is Kris Bryant supposed to homer today?
  4. if anyone happens to be listening to the radio, this guy they're interviewing (andy pafko's nephew) is just about the worst interview ever. Real dry, no excitement, sounds like its pulling teeth for him to say 5 words. Let me know if he's just as bad on TV.
  5. I certainly didn't see 94. Slider has looked good. FB avg and he's been hittable. Only two innings. As a former pitcher I like his mechanics tho
  6. they should cancel all baseball games today. Give the draft the attention it deserves.
  7. Lets spend our 4th overall pick on another Darwin Barney!
  8. Raisin do you recall what we offered Wiseman back in 2012 before he ended up going to school?
  9. Iowa goin with three catchers then??
  10. And as not to start a fight - Bryant is dreamy
  11. The decision to pass on buxton to save money is and was a botch. 100 percent.
  12. Buxton, Correa, Polanco, Taveras, Russell. Gotta remember KLaw is big for up the middle guys. Personally, Buxton is the only one there i'd trade Bryant for. Might trade Baez for Polanco also.
  13. Fair enough... And I can definitely see a situation where Nola succeeds in the bigs. But would you be willing to draft him instead of a college hitter? When Conforto is the fallback option? For me, absolutely. I've wanted Nola at #4 (assuming Rodon and Aiken are gone) since Hoffman went down.
  14. Alcantara has been smokin hot too so I'd guess yes :)
  15. This. This bothers me more than the coghlan/Kalish thing
  16. Baez named PCL player of the week. Very deserved.
  17. Even tho Raisin hates it - I'm still hoping for Nola at 4
  18. even worse is you've got Brett playing Twitter grab ass with him too.
  19. I like it. I want a college pitcher still. And if Nola (or Freeland) will take well below slot, then we can roll that money into later picks.
  20. I don't think that is the case. Bryant can hit anything in the zone. He seems to have better strike zone awareness that Baez (faint praise), but he gets way out in front of breaking balls out of the zone. i saw a 3-game series in Nashville a couple weeks back and i can promise you that Javy expands his zone and gets out in front of breaking balls out of the zone too. In fact, he was doing that a lot, and the AAA pitchers who really know what they're doing (they may or may not have big league stuff but the majority know what they're doing) were eating him alive.
  21. yeah i really feel like we're winning tonight. On to the next one boys.
