    at least dempster wasnt around to ruin the 6th inning
  2. UMFan83
    Usually Len is really damn good at determining who to shoo away after the stretch and who he should keep on the extra half inning. Poor job here.
  3. UMFan83
    He's doing a terrible terrible job of keeping the voice up, the more he talks the less he sounds like the bastardized version of Harry that Ferrell did so well. For shame Demp, I used to like you when you were ok at pitching.
  4. UMFan83
    I think Dempster is going to lose his mind and start believing he really is Harry Caray. We will see him stumbling around Wrigleyville on a Saturday night with this idiot getup going 'HEY! CUBS WIN!' and everyone will cross the street to avoid walking near the weirdo.

    lol that feels like the first hit Matt Szczur has had since May Ah man, you forget about his huge leadoff double in the 8th on Sunday that led to him scoring the winning run on KB's single?
  6. UMFan83
    I was not in favor of that move, but it worked out greatly. Good stuff!

    Hendricks up to the minute season ERA: 2.43 Insane.

    Keeping Jim Edmonds' legacy alive

    Less than an hour to sign Alshon and there doesn't appear to be much smoke on twitter so I'm guessing he'll be playing on the tag.
  10. UMFan83
    Yep Diaz is having a day
  11. UMFan83
    a) It wasn't thrown to a great spot but it was a rocket b) we have very very low expectations in terms of shutting down the run game Like Len said, that was the first baserunner that has been thrown out with Hendricks on the mound this year so obviously he did something right there.

    3 pitches in the strike zone in that AB, yet Desmond walks on a 3-1 count Won't complain though because Javy should have struck out a couple pitches before his RBI single in the previous inning according to the Cubs Strike Zone twitter thing.

    Javvvvvvvyyyyyy

    All-Star Addison Russell
  15. UMFan83
    He's decided to sit out the rest of the year to keep his value steady going into FA.
  16. UMFan83
    Yeah just thought it was weird that he went on a rehab assignment a week ago, he was still a possibility to play in the ASG as recently as saturday, and the Cubs were careful to say that there was no setback.

    Per Jesse Rogers 15 minutes ago: So basically the 'we didnt even need to put him on the DL' injury will last at least 30 days

    No matter how ineffecitve Cahill has been lately, I still somehow trust him more than Richard, Patton and maybe even Grimm
  20. UMFan83
    Yeah sorry Miggy you are no longer needed, even for twitter [tweet]https://twitter.com/noslliw19/status/753969007917666305[/tweet]

    Imaginary injury putting Cahill on the DL? Good thing about pushing Jake and Lester to next week is you can go 4 more games before having to make a roster decision with Ross coming off the concussion DL, although its almost certainly Kawasaki going back to Iowa. Edit: Nevermind i see that Ross was activated as well and Kawaski optioned. I guess you can't let guys hang out too long on the Concussion DL

    Vogelbach is not in their top 10? Seems strange This is the first time in awhile that I've seen a Cubs prospect list and felt like it was a bit light. Gleyber and Eloy are really good prospects but far away. Our number 6 guy hasnt played this year, number 7 guy hasn't played above short season and might have another significant arm issue.
  24. UMFan83
    Yes it was widely reported 10 days ago that he would sign there.
  25. UMFan83
    Hmm, great question. I think there's a difference between "out/hit" and "hit/home run". This is what I mean...the ball has to land in your glove on a fly for it to be a fly out. Like you said, you cannot catch a ball for an out that hits off the wall and into your glove without hitting the ground. So basically as soon as the ball hits the wall, you cannot record a fly out, it will be a hit (assuming a miracle force out). Now that we've established that this is a hit, you have to determine whether the ball lands in the field of play or is a home run. I'm pretty sure I've seen balls hit off the top of the wall and go over for a HR. I've also seen balls that hit off the very top of the wall and bounce back into play for a regular hit. We've also seen plays like a ball hitting Jose Canseco on the head and bouncing over for a HR. So my guess based on this logic is that, however improbable it is, a ball that hits off the wall, off a person and over the wall should be a home run. I have no idea if that's right or if there is even a rule for this, but that would be my guess. Edit: AKA what Banedon said in about 200 less words
