Don't tell TT.

Ohtani might be considering the waiting another year to come to MLB (!): http://www.bleachernation.com/2017/08/11/shohei-otani-might-wait-another-year-to-come-to-mlb-which-could-be-huge-for-the-cubs/

well, if he lights up the rest of this season and wins somebody a world series title he could get paid more. Or for more years.

The Cubs (and Cardinals but who cares about them? Will have a shorter ASB than the other 28 teams next year: [tweet] [/tweet]

Nah, he's in good hands here... Just ignore that I started the Schwarber thread, too. So Mojo is banned from starting any more player threads. Why limit the banning to starting threads?

Pectoral strain.

The Thomas Hatch Conundrum

19 K and 4 BB in 11 IP for Dillon Maples at AAA. Heh, he struck out 2 guys in 2 innings yesterday and his K/9 dropped to 15.5.

Gonna have to wait another day. I initially accidentally posted the 8/10 schedule.

Hey, I remember the last time the Cubs were down 5-2 in this ballpark. And that 9th inning started with a single by Bryant.

Yeah, you could see something was wrong the first few pitches to Tomlinson.

Just lurk? I post regularly. So your issue with this post is that someone suggested you only lurk and not that you are a meatball? He's a stickler for honesty.

It seems weird we live in a world where I trust Duensing more than Edwards.

Cory Abbott made his pro debut for Eugene today. 2 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 1 HR.

Yeah, Maddon did well in Game 5 but monumentally fucked up Game 6 and that really put Chapman and the team in a horrible situation in Game 7. Game 6 is what upsets most of us.

Yeah, that's Gob on a segway.

In watching highlights of the top of the 10th, Joe Buck was mentioning the possibility of Chapman going back out. It seems crazy that a reliever would go back out for a third inning on top of a 17-minute delay after all the pitches the previous two games but with Maddon in the World Series, it was entirely possible. Heck, he started out the top of the 10th warming Arrieta up on ZERO DAYS REST.

I love how you barely touch on his horrific bullpen management in the World Series. That horsefeathers nearly cost them the Series. Not trying to trivialize it, I thought it was obvious how horrible it was. Oh, I figured you did and was just amused at how bad that was.
