Damn you Pat. Thought it was a lead off double -
14 of 18 outs have been ground outs
-
Come on 1 more to remove Jake as pitcher of record
-
One more Cubs oddity, they've lost the last game of every homestand this season and won the last game of every road trip.
-
I obviously don't want this to happen and I am in no way conceding this game but that would be so baseball to have the Cubs go 8-2 on a homestand and have the 2 losses be the 2 starts our reigning Cy Young winner starts
-
So his BABIP against is .875 today right?
-
What a weird ass game for Arrieta
-
So we are ok with letting home throw 190 pitches to let him have a 26 K game right?
-
Regression to FIP
-
Ugh. based on pitch count this might be a short start
-
What happened to his career?
-
I'd rather Rizzo be the 1 LHH in the lineup and Ross get the start behind the plate. Best pitcher pitching should mean best defense playing. I hate basing matchups on splits when you're taking out an elite player playing elite baseball the last 7 days, who's also an elite defender. Agree that Rizzo should never be the lefty that sits against a tough lefty. He's struggled this year against them but has proven he is not particularly vaunerable against lefties in the past. Also I'm hoping that HR he hit the other day against the lefty is a sign he's getting back on track.

Same place Heyward is. Ready to PH against some scrub in the late innings. Not sure if it's fair to run up the score like that
-
The Cubs need to use the party room one more time because they won't get many chances coming up...20 of their next 26 are on the road after this one.

I don't think Shields was going to move the needle a ton on his trade value in the next 7 weeks, and for the possibility of getting better prospects, there's also the possibility that things get worse for Shields or he gets hurt. I would guess he's thinking that the risk of losing what's on the table (Erik Johnson and Fernando Tatis jr) is not devastating loss if you wait a few weeks and he gets injured or they don't get as good of an offer. My guess is that the trade was financially motivated. Even though they ate half the deal, that's still a $28m savings for a team that's going nowhere. That is what you risk by waiting until late July when the Sox are offering it now.

Continuing the discussion from the game thread, this is one of the ads that keeps redirecting me from the site. It happens probably 1/3 of the time when I click on a thread. Using Safari on iPhone
-
Seek help. That's like winning the Powerball and bitching about taxes. Stop. Pretty sure he's continuing the joke from this game thread
-
Actually not a bad move at all for the Sox. They trade Erik Johnson and Fernando Tatis Jr AND the Padres will eat over half of Shields remaining contract
-
Also we are on pace to go 117-45 and we've played exactly 1/3rd of the season
-
40-15 looks like a really pretty record. Win tomorrow and make it happen. Remember that shitty phase we had where we went 4-8? Well we've now gone 14-9 in our last 23 games that includes that stretch, which is a 99 win pace over a full season.
-
There shouldn't be any popup ads. I thought about that, but I spend way too much time here myself to be annoyed with that crap. It's like a dialog box pop up that says I won an iPhone and then when I click ok it takes me to some site with a roulette wheel. Mobile btw
-
Anyone else getting pop up ads on this page that redirect you to another site? Took me like 6 refreshes to finally post this? Zo!
-
He's right on these pitches
-
Should have just freaking left Hammel in. He was cruising and under 100 pitches.
-
why the hell would we put Cahill in? Is Grimm dead? Rondon has barely pitched for like 3 weeks, can he not go 4 batters because of his back?
