Cubs acquire Fernando Rodney
UMFan83 replied to ARCubsFan's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Not at all thrilled at this move. It's way too late in the season to see if you can fix him. Maybe he will replace Theo's last failed pen acquisition Tommy Hunter -
Understandable to struggle against Bumgarner but 3 total hits is a little disappointing. Oh well I have a good feeling against Kershaw tomorrow. And the Giants play the Cardinals so if we win we gain ground on someone. Also the pitching matchups over the weekend greatly favor us. I'm expecting 2/3 against LA

Attack the post not the poster(s) please

Pretty sure Montero will catch. Ya but Montero has struggled mightily vs. Kershaw just about the same as every other lefty. it doesnt change much, you still see herrera out there and if fowler is out again you still see denorfia Montero has a higher OPS against left handers this year than righties Montero's career OPS vs. Kershaw is like .571 Which is probably higher than the career ops of the person he'd be replacing in today's lineup which is either Herrera or Szczur

yeah we will see the same lineup tmrw since he is a lefty. Pretty sure Montero will catch. Ya but Montero has struggled mightily vs. Kershaw just about the same as every other lefty. it doesnt change much, you still see herrera out there and if fowler is out again you still see denorfia Montero has a higher OPS against left handers this year than righties

I'm begging you. Please don't try to make "Triple H" a thing. Please
-
Well, assuming we lose today, we'll be 16-14 in games started by Hendricks and Haren. So this is one of the dumbest things I've seen. Yeah pie on my face I just threw out a number but it was dumb and shouldn't have posted it.
-
Why would you compare the Cubs to a historically great pitching staff? Setting the bar a little high don't you think?
-
you tell me what i said that isnt true and ill pay you ./. facts are facts. the cubs bottom of the rotation is [expletive]. if the bats arent* strong we dont win. Our hot streak in August was due to the BATS coming alive. you watched every game also right? The main reason our offense has been top in the NL in the 2nd half was because of August. Dont sit here and tell me you are blind to see the truth you said kyle hendricks is mediocre you think our rotation is a weakness you think 5th starters are supposed to be really good all of it is wrong tell that to the cardinals which we trail by what 6 games? Hendricks is Average! he isnt above average he isnt good he is average look at how his stats rank up and that he is NOT average. Lmao what does that have to do with anything David said?
-
I think your post on pitchers just pushed me over the edge Its the truth, cant deny it. The offense carried the cubs during this nice historic winning stretch. look back at the scores usually when Triple H has pitched in August the team either lost or Put up lots of runs.. The offense has been carrying the team And the pitchers carried the offense when he sucked in June/July They DID! But Haren and Hendricks arent very good. Hendricks is average. If Hendricks is average, that's pretty good for a 4th starter. To me Hendricks is a young inconsistent pitcher. He had a stretch this year where he had something like 25 straight scoreless innings. You can't just forget that and only focus on his recent outings
-
That should have been a no brainer given the price it took to get him. Would be so so nice to have him pitching instead of Haren
-

jesus [expletive] christ I got about halfway through that and just stopped reading. When the cubs matchup the other teams 1st / 2nd starters vs. our 4th / 5th starters,.. i dont care about L/R matchups the best hitters need to play regardless of splits.. Gotta score runs, lots of them because the cubs starters will give em up. Fowler and Soler are hurt, Coghlan can't hit lefties. Not sure why Montero is out when we are down so many guys though. He hits lefties fine.
-
Those 2 days off really killed Russell's offensive mojo
-
this is silly as [expletive] You're right I don't know why I said 20%
-
If we do not win today Cubs will be 2-3 when Haren starts and 16-3 when he doesn't stsrt
-
If you can count on winning maybe 20% of games started by Haren and Hendricks , it puts a lot of pressure on you to win every Arrieta and Lester start and most of Hammel's
-
I can totally see Len send the game to commercial in his normal broadcasting voice and then as soon as it's off air saying "Jesus are you kidding me, this guy sucks"
-
I'm sorry you have to remove him from the rotation and try one of Wada, Richard or Wood
-
Thanks for the deadline help Theo
-
If Haren doesn't turn it around here, we're looking at 9 straight non-quality starts from Haren and Hendricks.
-
Don't worry I'm sure the Giants will do the good thing and stop scoring so we have a chance.
-
Yeah...we were killing on offense with a set lineup and 4 of those guys are out of it today (Fowler, Coghlan, Montero and Soler). When you replace those with Denofria, Castro, Herrera and Szczur it changes your offense just a little bit.
-
dammit

Bright side is 54 pitches through 3 innings for Bumgarner. They would probably extend him to 110-115 pitches if the game is close though.
