  1. Hendricks gotta give us another one. 5-run lead (soon to increase). 6-man rotation maybe by the next time he starts. Let him go until he shows he can't anymore.
  2. Clean inning, but filthy pitch.
  3. Just wait til next year when both are here. If Schwarber was as good behind the plate as even Contreras is now, you could have 2 of the top 3 hitting catchers in the league on 1 roster, but each getting 600 PAs between 1 playing LF while the other catches.
  4. Figured that'd be the lineup Maddon would go wtih (players, not necessarily order). Back-to-back lefties, figured Baez would get a pair of starts but NOT at 2B because he doesn't have the best defensive value there. And figured Szczur and Almora would each get a start in CF the next 2 days. And with Contreras not catching Lester, he's in LF so that means Bryant has to be at 3B unless you sit Heyward. I'm guessing tomorrow, we'll see Bryant in LF, Baez at 3B, Almora in CF, and Willson behind the plate.
  5. I like Doolittle also, but I don't like arguably the Cubs top prospect for him. I don't like big time prospects for relievers at all unless the reliever is a legit shutdown guy. Doolittle would be really nice, but I don't get the "game over" feeling wtih Doolittle/Strop/Rondon as I do with Miller or Chapman/Strop/Rondon. Not saying I'd trade Gleyber for Chapman necessarily, but definitely not for Doolittle alone. I wonder what it would take to get Rich Hill over here with Doolittle.
  6. Cubs are going to need to get 2 relievers. I mean they'll still try to make Nathan, Matusz, and apparently Peralta work, but they need to probably make 1 small and 1 big trade for a reliever.
  7. Boooooo. Screwed the closer and didn't even give Bryant another chance.
  8. Billy Hamilton has a .392 OBP against the Cubs. It's about .011 against everyone else.
  9. Glad they kept Arrieta in the game.
  10. I thought he might get thru 6 today and get a cheap quality start......but alas, he is broken.
  11. Singles bore me. More dongs please.
  12. Arrieta seems to be a guy that turns it up a notch when he needs to. I'm not going to look up any stats right now, but I feel like when he doesn't like the way he pitched the previous time out or the team is desperate for a win, he tends to dominate.
  13. 2-3 against one of the toughest pitchers in the league. Darwin Barney was probably awesome against someone too. Look, not trying to pile on the guy, but does he have a nagging injury or is this is ceiling? When Fowler gets back I'd rather he not bat 2nd in this lineup. Yeah, offense is so terrible w/ him hitting 2nd all year.
  14. If Javy was there we'd be winning this game, I think he nails the first run at home too Certainly would have been close.
  15. You must be watching on gamecast. Jumped the gun.
