Other Games Week of 8/22
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Liam Neeson's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Diaz also hadn't pitched since the 26th and before that the 22nd. Having him go 2 innings/30-40 pitches makes sense to me in that circumstance. -
Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 8-30-16
Transmogrified Tiger replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Grimm is a good mental image for what Clifton could be. Clifton is also 6-1 and has that weirdly abbreviated delivery working against his chances as a starter too. -
Day off for the veterans, rewarding Javy and Soler for big nights where they had a terrific approach at the plate and big opposite field hits. Nothing about Kuhl's repertoire screams Javy/Soler-friendly to me.

For someone who wasn't able to follow this one closely, would someone kindly explain what aspect of the umpiring I should be indignant about? Strike zone was very bad in general, but the worst was Cervelli's at bat in the 7th inning. Called strike 3 a ball twice, the latter time coming when the runner was going and out on the throw, turning a double play into 1st and 2nd(both runners scored with 2 outs). Baez was also safe at the plate in the 10th inning, although Gibson can share the blame with New York for being too spineless to end the game on a review, even though that was easily the correct call.

I'm pretty bummed that whygavs went private on Twitter

Locke is gonna throw more pitches than Brault isn't he
-
yeah the infield isn't going to play a big role in this at bat, Clint
-
Bryant has 80 grade pitch recognition
-
hey 1 for 2 isn't bad
-
they're going to let Locke go a 4th inning? Against the top of the order?
-
how in the world did he make that throw not only to get Baez at the plate, but it wasn't close where's the statcast replay on that
-
oh that is a a glorious piece of hitting
-
Clint Hurdle, not content to have lost this game on merit twice, sends Locke to the plate to try to lose it a 3rd time
-
JUST LOOK AT WHEN THE GLOVE RECOILS HOW DO YOU CALL HIM OUT
-
Still not over this YOU CAN TELL WHEN THE GLOVE HITS HIM BECAUSE HE'S SWEEPING HIS ARM IN A CIRCLE AND THAT TRAJECTORY STOPS. WHEN THAT HAPPENS BAEZ'S ELBOW IS NEARLY TOUCHING THE PLATE
-
this was all pretty evident from the regular angle and in real time, Tripp Gibson is just stealing money right now
-
that is straight garbage, holy smokes you can see when the glove stops because it makes contact and Javy's hand is in the middle of the plate
-
Willson 2 run homer Jorge solo homer in the 9th
-
Rizzo is 9 for 24 with 4 home runs and 3 walks against Locke, a 1.429 OPS gotta have that matchup with the added pressure of a walk losing the game
-
Jeff Locke has a 9.00 ERA against the 2016 Cubs in 18 innings. He didn't give up less than 4 runs in any of those outings.
-
They're going with Locke huh Jeff Locke? Him?
-
Chapman looks hilarious trying to make a pickoff throw, like a clown on stilts in a parade
