    I started to respond, but i fear they will ban me if I'm outed as a Cubs fan and I like having access to the search feature so I can search for Cubs related posts, so I stopped.

    Funnier than that is them penciling in all of Syndergaard, DeGrom, Harvey, Wheeler and Matz for next year like it's not big thing lol yup 2005 is going to be great when we add some offense to go along with Prior, Wood, Zambrano and Maddux

    It will be interesting to see who starts tomorrow. You could start someone like Montgomery with 7 days until the first game, but do you want someone who will be a short reliever to spot start so close to the playoffs? Maybe it will be another pen day and an excuse to get all their guys an inning, but a pen day 2 days in a row? The other option is to start someone who won't be on the playoff roster which only really leaves one option and it would pretty much give away that he isn't making the roster. Have fun Cahill.

    How about 102-59? [tweet] [/tweet]

    Gotta be PED suspension right? Edit: His official twitter retweeted the suspension and he's posted tweets about other things since the PC announcement so I'm guessing its nothing bad.

    Such as? Sorry, had a crying baby on my lap when I posted that, meant to come back and add quotes http://www.csnchicago.com/chicago-cubs/clubhouse-frustration-bubbling-cubs-and-jake-arrieta I guess critical is the wrong word, but I think he was respectfully disagreeing with it.

    Miggy also said some critical things about Joes postseason prep

    These are meaningless games. That doesn't mean they're pitching underhand. Grimm and Rondon have looked bad, Strop is coming back from an injury, and Edwards control has been a touch wobbly. Edwards and Strop are probably fine, but I'd really like to see a couple good outings from Rondon. Think of it like NFL preseason. They are going full speed but the playbook is vanilla. Chris Bosio basically said the same thing on the score today. I think we just have so much idle time we are all finding things to worry about. I'm still more worried about the sluggish offensive month than anything pitching related but again it's probably just because I'm searching for things to worry about.

    Flap your flippers in the air like you just don't care.

    Jake finishes his season with a 3.10 ERA
  13. UMFan83
    Enough
  14. UMFan83
    Yes these 3 innings negate the entire season of numbers. The theory was him was flipping back into God-mode. I'm not saying he sucks. But his year long stats certainly aren't God-mode either. He's obviously very good. Boz also said on the score today that there are about 10 advanced scouts from the Mets/Cardinals/Giants at every game and they are approaching hitters differently than they normally would, unusual pitch sequences and generally treating like spring training to some degree. I'm didn't see jake using much of the slider that he was getting swings and misses on his last start. Who knows what he's really doing out there, what's real and what we can draw conclusions from
  15. UMFan83
    Yep. Not an inspiring performance heading into the playoffs. Hope we get a better jake against Syndergaard/Bumgarner
  16. UMFan83
    By eye test he doesn't seem like he has as good of stuff as last time. Not much swing and miss and a bit of hard contact. Also still getting behind a high percentage of batters.
  17. UMFan83
    Wtf is this ump doing? 3 strikes called balls so far
  18. UMFan83
    Come on Jake worm out of this
  19. UMFan83
    Theo is on ESPN 1000, he was asked about the story and said the creepy stuff was exaggerated to fit the narrative. Of course he's gonna say that though.
  20. UMFan83
    Hasn't it been exactly 350 days since a Theo-led team has won a playoff series? Come on Theo we're waiting.

    YESSSSSSSSSS I was a bit worried that he would dart if we won the World Series. Obviously I'd be more than thrilled with winning the WS, but its nice to know we can have both.
  23. UMFan83
    Alright, so it's an Arrieta-start dress rehearsal lineup. I'd still prefer Javy in there over Cogs when Jake is pitching even against a righty. I think having Javy's defensive upgrade is more valuable than Cog's considerably smaller offensive upgrade.
  24. UMFan83
    I just think he hasn't thrown enough innings. Pretty much the only reason Hendricks has a Cy Young case is because he's leading baseball in ERA by over a half a run, fairly or not. If you group Noah with the power pitchers he hasn't thrown enough innings compared to someone like Scherzer. He should be in more conversations though.

    Or he just watched last week's film
