So the extra 1-4 pitches Starlin would have made Chapman throw would tire him out? The main point was that I'd rather let my guys bat with the tying run on base Baserunners were 8 for 8 stealing on Chapman prior to that attempt. Hitters are 5 for 195 getting an XBH with a .196 average. SB + 1B is a much higher percentage play than 2B or 1B + 1B Once again TT owns. It may make me feel baseball dumb but at least I know people like you are here to set me straight. -
Its coming sooner than later. Cubs are just in a bad stretch. Every team except the Cardinals and Pirates goes through them. it was around this time in 2008 when the Cubs had a 6 game losing streak.

So on Saturday night and again tonight I paused the game to put my daughter to bed and then watched what I missed. On Saturday I paused during the commercial break just before the inning lester gave up 3 runs to lose it. Tonight I paused it during the commercial break as Russell came into the game. In both instances I did a light fast forward and as i saw the inning crumbling away ended up skipping to live TV in disgust. Guess I should be happy i didn't have to watch any of those 9 runs score live

We're going to have a lower run differential than games over .500 soon

Oh man I was too busy raging from ARCubsfan's post to notice this. You guys are a great 1-2 punch

Have you seen the Cubs bench? And nobody is hitting Chapman Yeah I see Montero on that bench Yeah Montero is totally hitting Chapman Wow ok. Maybe we should just forfeit when he comes into the game. Montero is the best bat on the bench, is considerably better than LaStella, has considerably more power than LaStella, etc
-
I get that if its successful you are a single away from tying it but if it's not you allow a still fresh Chapman to mow through the bottom of the Cubs order in the 9th

Is Maddon drunk? Wtf

Seriously, for what reason does LaStella bat here?
-
Bothers me that Rizzo keeps swinging at that garbage. His pitch recognition is supposed to be really good but his walks have plummeted and he's swinging at a ton of pitches outside the zone
-
Here he comes... I'd like to see Montero PH here, moving Bryant to 3rd and Schwarber to LF
-
Wtf
-
I don't understand why Rizzo is swinging at that low pitch
-
Rizzo, homer or chapman is coming in
-
Yeah he's been swinging at a lot of balls lately. Mostly off speed stuff low If were only a quick fix existed in the form of a night in the batting cages with his dad. He's only been getting off-speed stuff lately, too. The scouting report is out on him. He will make the adjustment just like Bryant did, just like Russell did And he has a month to make it

I really wish they did away with the strike zone box in games. I'm sick of getting pissed every other batter when a strike is called a ball or vice versa. I'd rather be in the dark again
-
Come on offense. You showed up 1 inning...we know you have it in you
-
Yeah basically gives us 1 more inning to work with here since we didn't call up Teagarden before the game

Levine: Cubs pushing for pitching
UMFan83 replied to ctcf's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Smart idea given how weak the back of the rotation has been. Hope it's not Shields though -
Let's just pretend that the Cubs went 1-2-3 last inning and the Reds just did the same. Still 3-1

Bad inning sure, complete implosion though?
