  1. I love how Jake is so good at people are concerned when hes walked 4 guys, even though he hasn't given up a run in 22 innings.
  2. He's probably just going through a period where he's not completely locked in. It happens even to demigods
  3. Haha, Jungmann has thrown more pitches through 2 than Jake despite Jake's 1st inning.
  4. In terms of the eye test, his bat looked extremely slow to me last year, so I was pretty convinced it was old age.
  5. Probably. He's got fewer than 600 ABs above high A. He's probably not ready. https://twitter.com/CarrieMuskat/status/725729090771111936
  6. Nah I think someone said that the Brewers and Cubs have a common off day the day before the next series at Wrigley in August
  7. Is the issue that he needs more work behind the plate, they don't want to rush his development, or they don't want to start his service clock?
  8. Also... [tweet]https://twitter.com/CarrieMuskat/status/725717434863374336[/tweet] Have you ever heard of a guy heading to the DL being the emergency catcher just in case his replacement can't make it on time?
  9. What do we know about Federowicz? -28 years old -Career .547 OPS in 271 PA over 4 seasons with LA -In his short time in the majors he was worth 1.2 wins defensively (according to BR) and -0.9 wins offensively. -Only had 101 PA last year, all in the minors, with a slash line of .202/.257/.383/.640 -Has a .940 OPS is 41 PA this year at Iowa -Is not Montero, Schwarber or Contreras
  10. [tweet] [/tweet]
  11. I don't know what I'm talking about either but from what I've read about Lawson, he's a high floor, low ceiling guy. I'd rather take a gamble and pick someone with an all-pro ceiling.
  12. Not that it matters but we had Jake, Lester and Lackey lined up for the series in Pittsburgh next week and now it will be Hendricks, Jake and Lester most likely
  13. That's fine as long as they don't start and stop
  14. Records Jake could be going for tonight if the game is played: -Any sort of scoreless outing will allow Jake to break Bob Gibson's record for lowest ERA over a 20 start span -If Jake pitches 5 2/3 straight scoreless innings to start the game he will break the record for most consecutive scoreless innings at home in the modern era (since 1900). Current record is 54 scoreless innings. -If Jake has a quality start tonight, it will put him 1 away from Gibson's record for most consecutive quality starts at 26 -If Jake starts and the Cubs win tonight, it will break the record for most consecutive team wins in games started by a pitcher (currently 17)
  15. This tweet says it best:
  16. That's the one I bought too, although now it's antiquated because of his number change. Damn that sucks. I bought mine this year so I am rocking 27
  17. My shirsey choice was Russell and I am happy with it.
  18. If this game gets played: [tweet] [/tweet]
  19. [tweet] [/tweet] If the Bears are really 'in love' with Elliot as he says, then you can bet they are one of the teams talking with Cleveland. What sneaky posted does make me want him more, but I have a hard time giving up like the Bears 2nd round pick to move up 3 spots.
  20. Why? Cause I'm from Texas and despise everything Houston and their fans. I didn't realize the fans in Texas were so passionate. I just assumed baseball was something people in Texas lightly followed to pass the time between football seasons.
  21. LMAO at the Sox fan that came up to my desk this morning and bragged about the Sox getting to 15 wins before the Cubs.
  22. Hate to be the Rondon Fan here but... [tweet] [/tweet] [tweet] [/tweet]
  23. Haha that was your "we have a chance" game. Now you get Jake and Jon.
