    Good idea Cotts....strike out the guy that kills lefties, give up a homer to the guy who sucks against lefties
  2. UMFan83
    Why can't Eyre pitch? This is getting ridiculous. He better be traded or DFA'd tomorrow. Theres no point in having him here if he's not going to pitch in any situation.

    Anyone want to make a prediction for tomorrows game? I predict Harden goes 5.1 IP 7H 5R and picks up the W

    Line? 3.0 IP 5 H 5 ER 3 BB 1 K You forgot the 3 HBP seriously? You gotta wonder what is next for Rich Hill. Showed too much success to just release him. I would consider just shutting him down for the year as whatever small hope the Cubs had of a contribution from him this year is completely gone now.

    Wow another CS for Theriot....I know we're winning but STOP RUNNING

    Dempster up to the minute ERA - 2.90 Harden - 2.10 Zambrano - 2.80 Dempster - 2.90

    I don't think its a good thing....

    As unworthy as he has been, I'll stick with Ward thanks. Acquiring Gonzalez would be one of those "making a deal just to make a deal" deals. Let's platoon a LH/RT RF with another LH/RT RF! :doh: I don't understand their obsession with lefties at all. Our bench right now is Edmonds (L) or Johnson ® Fontenot (L) Ward (L) Blanco ® Cedeno ® I mean I know we have a lot of righties in the starting lineup, but you gotta have someone other than Ronny/Blanco you can count on coming off the bench as a righty.

    Dave Kaplan said at the end of Chicago Tribune live that he has heard the Cubs are looking at acquiring him. Not sure how legit the rumor is though with the Marlins being buyers seemingly.

    Is Lou trying to concentrate all of Soto's off days into a 2 week span? I swear we went a month without Soto starting.

    Aaron Cook is quietly having a good year. I think right now it would be Webb, but Z deserves one if he keeps pitching like he has. I think Webb would get the nod over Haren in most writers minds because he'll probably finish with more wins and has the bigger name. Voloquez hasn't been as dominating and I expect him to tail off (not that I don't think he's a good pitcher - he is). Aaron Cook won't get enough pub.
  13. UMFan83
    Right now the 3 main candidates in my mind are Z, Lincecum and Webb

    if an 825 OPS is pretty bad, I'll gladly take it. Which is strangely better than Ibanez's season numbers. That said, at least Ibanez is healthy and would probably be counted on to be healthy.
  15. UMFan83
    Isn't he a 5-6 inning pitcher too? Hopefully we can get him to throw a lot of pitches early and get him out of the game. BTW, since May 3rd Parra is 2.93 ERA with a 1.28 WHIP. The WHIP is still rather high to sustain that ERA (Carlos Zambrano aside), but those numbers are pretty solid.
  16. UMFan83
    Plus the Brewers had LRL coming up in the 9th with Fielder, Hart and Branyan up. If there was a good time to ease Eyre back in, this was it. Color me concerned about what's going to happen with him.
  17. UMFan83
    Brewers fans...I know Ball and Glove touched on it but I thought it was odd that Shouse didn't come in to face Ward in the 8th. When Ward came up and it was clear Riske was stayed in, I was thinking "if there's an opportunity to say 'Yosted' this is the time"
  18. UMFan83
    How are we going to get any value "selling" Eyre, if we ourselves are buyers. Buyers don't sell left handed relievers unless something is wrong.
  19. UMFan83
    How does Sheets "own the Cubs"? 3.76 lifetime ERA against us 2.31 this year 3.91 ERA last year against them Didn't play the Cubs in 06 due to injury 5.49 ERA in 05 against them. 4.50 ERA in 04 against them. He's good against us, but not even up to his career averages.
  20. UMFan83
    I still would have liked a lefty out of the pen. And I don't necessarily think that Samardzija is the answer yet. He does have nasty stuff but he is far from a polished pitcher. How do we rank with the other contenders in terms of lefty options out of the pen? Cotts toiled away in Iowa last year on a demotion, and Lou is scared to even use Eyre.
  21. UMFan83
    I agree. This is our most significant regular season series in quite some time. Welcome to the boards. The series last August was probably bigger, but its still big none the less
  22. UMFan83
    Umm yeah those types of fans make up 85% of our fan base, so we definitely understand where you are coming from. Also don't mind those drunken fools from our side. Just don't respond when they jeer at you like blabbering idiots and they will stop. But at the same time, don't assume all Cubs fans will be like that because I'm going tomorrow and I most certainly won't be like that.
  23. UMFan83
    I'll say. Over his last 20 games: .407/.451/.840/1.291
  24. UMFan83
    I can understand that, especially with the brewers righty dominated lineup, they tend to hit lefties very well. That's why I said that. I saw our lefties (Marshall, Hill, Lilly) get lit up by the brewers too many times. Braun especially murders lefties and hes on a rampage right now.
  25. UMFan83
    I'm scared of Lilly getting lit up this game, but since June 1st, he's been pretty good. 5-2 3.41 ERA 1.28 WHIP 59 K in 63.1 IP (10 starts) Of course over that same time frame...CC: 7-0 1.60 ERA 0.84 WHIP 72 K in 73 IP (9 starts) Sabathia has also gone at least 8 IP in 7 of those 9 starts.
