  1. Go Javy! Just needed some discouragement from the NSBB faithful
  2. 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.
  3. Our friends at O's hangout predict Jakes line today http://forum.orioleshangout.com/forums/showthread.php/143299-Predict-Jake-Arrieta-s-line-today
  4. Come on Jake, make the O's regret letting you go as they wallow in their 9 game division lead.
  5. 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!
  6. 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.
  7. 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%
  8. Yes. Start by pointing out that he's 2 Ks away from having a higher k rate than Olt did up here
  9. 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
  10. Baez with 4 K and a walk in 5 PAs today. Really embracing that 3TO lifestyle. Expect a HR in his next AB
  11. Ugh he was out but Ricky used his challenge
  12. 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.
  13. We win! (again) What the [expletive] is Bochy pissed about? That they didn't forefit the game in favor of the Giants?
  14. Will be funny if the Cubs win this without hitting the ball out of the infield the last 4 innings.
  15. If the Cubs don't score 3 more runs in this game, it will make 13 straight games scoring 4 or less runs
  16. 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
  17. Damn it's quiet at Wrigley and most of the fans I see there are Giants fans.
  18. 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.
  19. Yes he's hurt. That's why he's pitching so bad. Somehow we just discovered it. Once he's healthy in like a week he will pitch great. Remember teams only 10 more days left to add a Jaxon to aid your playoff push!
  20. Ronny Cedeno is still trying to play baseball for a living?
  21. Cubs management was oddly sympathetic to the Giants cause on this one. I wonder how much that pisses off the players. Yup:
