  1. In honor of legalized sports gambling, anyone want to take 100-1 odds that Happ's AB ends in something other than a K? This is why i dont gamble
  2. Hot Take: The 2016 Super Cubs ruined regular season baseball for me. Anything less than that seems like a giant disappointment.
  3. This just isn't the same Quintana that I saw pitch for the Sox. Even when he's pitching ok hes super inefficient and doesn't go more than 6 innings. We built what we thought was a rotation of number 2 starters, when in actuality it feels like we built a rotation of number 4 starters. Quintana sucks. Not even sure if he was available, but would’ve rather had G Cole than this soft tossing lefty. Crazy how the Astros added with Verlander and Cole, we added Quintana and Darvish.
  4. That whole "it's so great that Quintana's cheap contract enabled us to get Darvish" conversation feels like a long time ago. This just isn't the same Quintana that I saw pitch for the Sox. Even when he's pitching ok hes super inefficient and doesn't go more than 6 innings. We built what we thought was a rotation of number 2 starters, when in actuality it feels like we built a rotation of number 4 starters.
  5. Lol I just noticed that they have a +1 RD for the season.
  6. Missed most of this one, let’s see what rmack thought of the game
  7. Agreed. And over 30 pitches at that. Now he’s unavailable tomorrow
  8. Now that was a Javy manufactured run if I’ve ever seen one
  9. Duke when are you going to do a study of Lester’s performance this year? The only reason I’m asking is because I think your ultimate conclusion might be pessimistic so only good things can come of it.
  10. I’m an idiot how could I forget this: http://www.sportingnews.com/mlb/news/james-shields-picked-padres-over-cubs-because-he-wants-to-win-chicago-san-diego-free-agency/1e770w9qmjzqv1j3hhkbhyn70n “James Shields picked Padres over Cubs because he wants to win”
  11. 2016? that seems wrong. wasn't he with the padres when he struck out KB a bunch of times in his first game? Ahh your right 2015.
  12. Reminder: the Cubs finished second to the Padres for James Shields before the 2016 season
  13. If we win this, we will have gone on a 5 game winning streak immediately followed by a 5 game losing streak immediately followed by another 5 game winning streak
  14. Will almost certainly end the night with the best RD in the NL and 4th best in baseball
  15. Can anyone figure out what the highest BB/9 is for a qualified starter in modern MLB history? If my math is correct, Chatwood is currently at 8.8
  16. [tweet] [/tweet] I am as good as dead aren't I?
  17. What the horsefeathers is wrong with these teams? I could understand the ballpark boom of the 90s-00s replacing those crappy multi-purpose 70's stadiums, adding revenue streams, etc but there was not enough wrong with Turner Field, Rangers Stadium (whatever its called these days) and Chase Field to spend enormous sums of money, public or otherwise. All that said, downtown Phoenix is a depressing mess. Possibly the worst downtown of a major city in the US. They had 20+ years to improve downtown to make the Chase Field location more attractive but everyone is so sprawled out in the metro area that no one goes there (outsider's perspective).
  18. geez even Q is hitting line drives.
  19. Don't need to see the Lexus Run Predictors WGN, I just ate lunch
  20. Watching Q pitch is painful. So many wasted pitches....gonna be a bullpen game if he doesn't get his horsefeathers together.
