  1. I don't. You have the pitcher on deck, you are the key AB in the inning. Be aggressive and swing the bat
  2. Cubs get runners on second and 0 outs two innings in a row and don't score either time
  3. There has to be a trade before it's Beeler's turn again. Nah, they could easily start Wada or Wood. But there definitely SHOULD be a trade
  4. Dammit Rizzo. This is getting old. Still love you to pieces but this is getting old
  5. Jesus [expletive] Christ. You sat through the last 3 seasons and you think the FO gives two shits about paying lip service to the fans? How dense are you?
  6. Schwarbs 1 for his last 11. Mallee must have gotten his hands on him. Also between Liney McLineout and Mr Warning Track we have have a crap ton of bad luck lately
  7. [tweet] [/tweet] Shouldn't your closer be a guy who can excel no matter what the matchups are? again as I said last night, I'm not saying your best reliever should be saved to pitch the 9th, but if you are going to have a guy closing it out consistently, I'd like him to be like good at baseball and stuff.
  8. The Blue Jays typical starters by OPS .890 (Donaldson) .868 (Bautista) .863 (Colabello) .844 (Travis) .818 (Tulowitzki) .817 (Martin) .786 (Smoak) .784 (Encarnacion) .700 (Pillar) Actually I could be off in on a name or two. Valencia (.849 OPS) is starting quite a bit.. Anyways compare that to the Cubs .894 (Rizzo) .811 (Bryant) .771 (Coughlan) .729 (Montero) .700 (Fowler) .695 (Soler) .665 (Russell) .575 (Castro)
  9. MLB.com updated their top 100 http://m.mlb.com/prospects/2015 Cubs in the top 100: 7 - Schwarber 36 - Torres 41 - McKinney 66 - Edwards 80 - Underwood Rounding out the rest of the Cubs top 10: Almore Happ Johnson Dewees Zagunis Couldn't find the old thread where we discuss prospect lists so I just put it here.
  10. Can't be any worse than Coughlan out there (or Soler in RF)
  11. I don't know why we don't go back to starting Wood until another option is available. I get that he's been good in the pen but there's probably like a 70% chance he pitches multiple innings today anyways. Might as well have him pitch those 4 innings when the game is 0-0 then when its 4-0 in the 3rd.
  12. It's about time for Rizzo to snap out of this funk... Last month: .196/.325/.250/.575 1 HR 8 RBI in 114 PA
  13. http://m.cubs.mlb.com/chc/video/topic/70087564/v302995383/colchc-bryant-walks-cubs-off-with-tworun-homer I feel like this past weekend and top of the 9th ruined Len's spirits. He called that off the bat like it was a warning track fly out. He's been very angsty latest battling Twitter trolls and complaining about them publicly. I think Cubs fans broke his spirit because he used to be so laid back and easy going
  14. So "don't look at the numbers look at their stuff" and then "let's trade for a big money closer who hasn't had good stuff this year"
  15. I'm not saying your necessarily wrong but I don't remember anyone saying that about Motte. Maybe 3 weeks ago but if you look at the advance stats you could see things weren't looking good. And who is saying That Strop is the worst pitcher in the pen? Lol
  16. 2 things from watching the celebration again: 1) no bubble gum bucket hat on Herrera. DFA 2) Soriano started jumping up and down and congratulating Bryant before he must have realized (wait I suck) and then kind of just walks away from the crowd of players
  17. I've been on this "chill out and stop overreacting" kick and I was about to throw it away and go circa 2008 UMfan up in this [expletive]
  18. Im not going to lie, I was not expecting that. More Cubs/Rockies magic
