    He's having a terrible season. Will be interesting to see the angst from us if/when he goes on a tear with STL

    Meh the Padres are up big and Ross threw 83 pitches. It could just as much be protecting him in case of a future trade as it is an actual trade
  4. UMFan83
    good just in time for the cubs to come up there I'd rather him stay in Milwaukee and not going to one of our 2 competitors for a playoff spot

    hmmm schwarbs will have to be in LF. Ross to the bench (even on lester starts) Yeah but we know that's not going to happen, and Coughlan has been like our 3rd best hitter this year.

    I'll just make this the Montero update thread [tweet] [/tweet] [tweet] [/tweet] So an admittedly less than 100% Montero wants to rush back and kick Schwarbs to the bench.

    Starlin wishes he could have Bryant's .687 OPS over the last 30 days. Edit: God I hate the new run scoring environment in baseball where I think "well he nearly has a .700 OPS so he's not in that bad of a slump I guess".
  8. UMFan83
    Another WT out. What is that like 10 this homestand?
  9. UMFan83
    Terrible AB for Bryant
  10. UMFan83
    Hmm that made me a little nervous when I saw that it was Schwarber and he didnt look like he had a great read on it.
  11. UMFan83
    14 Ks is one off his career high.
  12. UMFan83
    I'm not sure he's even had a chance in this game other than fielding singles from Reyes in the 1st and the one just a minute ago.
  13. UMFan83
    I think he was safe
  14. UMFan83
    When did the Blue Jays switch to purple jerseys with the word "Colorado" on it?
  15. UMFan83
    This inning has not started that well.
  16. UMFan83
    Soler with signs of life too. Not for a ton of power yet but .350 over the last 5 games and several lineouts that could have been XBHs
  17. UMFan83
    Awesome to see Fowler out of his slump... .386/.534/.568/1.102 in his last 13 games.
  18. UMFan83
    That reminded me of DeRosa's HR in game 1 of the 2008 NLDS. Almost the exact same high pop fly hit down the RF line and the way it was hit everyone thought it would end up foul or short of the wall and then all the sudden it landed for a HR.
  19. UMFan83
    Really only 3 starts... First 3 starts: 6.89 ERA Last 17 starts: 2.81 ERA

    2015 was never the year! It's incredibly stupid, and way more common than it should be. I STILL hold out hope that Hamels will be following Lester and Arrieta in the rotation come Friday. Its stupid to fall back to that as an excuse for standing pat, but its not stupid to look at the situation (2.5 games out of a spot for a 1 game playoff on the road to get into the division series) and the market (seems to be a lot of teams rich in money and prospects chasing guys like Hamels and Price) and the team (a bunch of high potential but struggling and inconsistent young hitters, 3 of them in their first full seasons) and make the determination that it's not worth giving up someone the caliber of Schwarber (or maybe even a rung below) for a 10% better chance of making the division series in one season when there are several attractive FAs to go after in the offseason that won't cost a top prospect (but will cause the loss of a first round pick). At least that's how I see it. Who has ever talked about trading Schwarber for a rental? There's a chasm between trading Schwarber for Dan Haren and trading guys who wouldn't be drafted in Rule 5 3 years from now. Sorry I assumed when people were saying 'standing pat' they were referring to major moves not someone like Haren. I'm all for doing that.

    That's more wins that I would have expected you to predict
  22. UMFan83
    Look out Kerry Wood. 5Ks in first 6 batters
  23. UMFan83
    I cannot because that is incredibly stupid. 2015 was never the year! It's incredibly stupid, and way more common than it should be.

    While I'd be disappointed at standing pat, I understand this is how Theo has operated since he got here. He's not going to wildly overpay for someone, so if the asking price is too high for a TOR starter right now (with the decision aided by the Cubs mediocre play over the last month), he will move to plan B to add one in the offseason. I'm sure it wouldn't be his ideal scenario, but neither is including Schwarber in a deal for Hamels or something if the asking price gets into that range.

    I know, that's what I was implying but I don't think people caught on. If you look at ARCubsfan's profile it says he's 23. Smoking gun evidence! Edit: Ok the real smoking gun is that the twitter user is just as irrationally negative during games as the NSBB poster
