  1. he's definitely looked a lot more in control and that fly ball to Heyward a second ago is the only time I remember a ball being hit fairly hard today. My one gripe is that he's still been getting behind hitters early in the count more than I'd like, but he has such good stuff today that he's been able to get them out.
  2. Addy has left a lot of runners on base lately. Makes me sad, I really want to see him hit 100
  3. I think Zobrist would hit better if he changed up his walkup music. Yes I know his wife is threatening to withhold sex if he doesn't play it, but dude really needs a song that will get him and the crowd more pumped up and I think that's more important than sex right now.
  4. Zo, make sure you don't GIDP here. Addy needs his RBIs
  5. they kind of suck everywhere except for hitting HRs, Carlos Martinez and possibly Reyes Until he hurt his oblique, Carpenter was just generally awesome. Oh yeah sorry and him
  6. they kind of suck everywhere except for hitting HRs, Carlos Martinez and possibly Reyes
  7. It's typically been 1-2 days after the registration closes if I recall correctly. Anyone want to team up, if they get selected you buy a seat for the other if they don't, and vice versa? I really really don't want to be shut out again this year Im your huckleberry. Did a bunch of dif emails this year too. Same here. It's a deal
  8. I think they explained on the broadcast that because the ball hit the dirt on both occasions, they have to be called wild pitches because a catcher can't be held accountable for what happens after the ball hits the dirt. Or something like that.
  9. how are you so far behind Didn't realize I was that far behind...I'm watching on a stream of questionable legitimacy.
  10. Jake's got himself in quite a jam if they call this a HBP
  11. posting this here because it has the most traffic right now
  12. Who was that moron who was slightly concerned the Cubs offense wouldn't heat back up for the playoffs? I want to mock him Come to think about it, his name was...it was me. Damn
  13. let a low slider go right between his legs which allowed a run to score Oh, ok...that happened a few batters back though...I thought something more recent. Happened again
  14. Consider? Yes, but still probably don't. Hendricks is better at home and I'm not pushing Lester back. i am not convinced that this is an actual thing, despite the splits FWIW, taking a quick glance of the stats tells me Hendricks was much better at home last year as well, and had better numbers at home in 2014 but the peripherals were better on the road that year.
  15. Its soooooo much better knowing they are playing for their playoff lives and our guys are more focused on making sure the PA guy plays 'Forever Young' during Rizzo's first PA
  16. And that is why I'm not particularly scared of any of the WC teams
  17. That's a good question. If he pitches game 2 and is in god mode and Lester is shaky, they would both be available on enough rest for game 5 so you could choose which to throw. As awesome as Hendricks has been and still is, I don't think Joe considers him for a game 5 over Lester so you are riding with Jon, with Jake maybe someone who can come out of the pen if absolutely needed. Lets hope it doesn't get to that.
