  1. O's Hangout poster defending the Arrieta trade:
  2. Man its crazy how depressed scoring is these days. I'm looking at the Orioles lineup stats and I'm thinking this is a team 21 games over .500 they should have a solid lineup all the way through. Don't get me wrong they have some good hitters, but when the 2008 Cubs were 20+ games over .500 they had like 3-4 hitters statistically as good as the Orioles best hitter. Theriot was probably our worst hitter and he's better then at least 3 hitters in the Orioles lineup today
  3. If Jake pitched a CG today, he'd be 1 IP short of qualifying for league leaders in ERA. If he qualified, he'd be 5th in the NL and 8th in MLB
  4. Go Javy! Just needed some discouragement from the NSBB faithful
  5. Can we bring the rest of the Iowa prospects up? I need one of them to come up here and start hitting awesome so I feel better about our youngins.
  6. Our friends at O's hangout predict Jakes line today http://forum.orioleshangout.com/forums/showthread.php/143299-Predict-Jake-Arrieta-s-line-today
  7. Come on Jake, make the O's regret letting you go as they wallow in their 9 game division lead.
  8. Gonna sound like an old man here but why the hell is the most important preseason game on at 9pm locally? I get that it's in Seattle, but come on!
  9. Meh, I wasn't overly excited about him. Then again, I wasn't overly excited about Puig, so watch him become an All Star and we can all bitch about another guy Theo let get away.
  10. Well he still has significantly higher slash stats so yeah not in that area but in terms of k rate Baez is at 42.9% and Olt was 44.9%
  11. Yes. Start by pointing out that he's 2 Ks away from having a higher k rate than Olt did up here
  12. It's difficult to watch and not be down on the kid. It was a lot easier staying level headed when you read about his bad starts in the minor league forum
  13. Baez with 4 K and a walk in 5 PAs today. Really embracing that 3TO lifestyle. Expect a HR in his next AB
  14. Ugh he was out but Ricky used his challenge
  15. I'm convinced that a segment of meatball Cubs fans is never going to like Baez no matter how good he is because he's always going to have terrible swings on occasion and is always going to strike out a ton.
  16. We win! (again) What the [expletive] is Bochy pissed about? That they didn't forefit the game in favor of the Giants?
  17. Will be funny if the Cubs win this without hitting the ball out of the infield the last 4 innings.
  18. If the Cubs don't score 3 more runs in this game, it will make 13 straight games scoring 4 or less runs
  19. I'M GONNA GO MAKE A SCENE. I'm right under Len and JD. Avenge my death. Yell something about NSBB and see if the mic picks it up
  20. Damn it's quiet at Wrigley and most of the fans I see there are Giants fans.
  21. I can understand the "feeling" of being targeted...UMFan pointed out all the rule changes that have impacted the Cubs long term plans, but I'm sure that's just an immediate reactionary thing. No Bud Selig didn't randomly decide he doesn't like the Cubs and wants to make it unfair for them. I should have said "targeting teams like the Cubs" because that is closer to what I meant. Seems like every time the Cubs find a way to gain a competitive edge, the rules change. And yes it was a bit of an immediate reactionary thing.
