Let a guy one week removed from the IL throw 50 pitches in an inning. Just wow.
-
What a [expletive] joke. Hes awful tonight. Get him out of there.
-
Noone really has yet. He has 31 HR in 84 games this year.

118 holy horsefeathers

This Aquino dude was their 29th ranked prospect by fg coming into this year

Can we stop serving missiles, Cole. Thanks.

That was a perfect pitch to crush into the RF seats Javy

Yup. 4-6 is also probably “fine.” Face Bauer, Gray, Castillo and Nola. It’s technically a 4 city trip with no off days because next Sunday vs the Pirates they play at the LLWS. But let’s do 6-4. We haven't done too well against Wood either. We did beat him in Jake's first no-no though! KB took him deep. But 2.86 ERA over 34 innings, only 2 dongs. Hes been tough on us. That's a really rough stretch.

Line drives, sure. Ground balls, god I hope not. He was, what, a 40 runner if that? Maybe they did frame it incorrectly, but it does specifically cite grounders. That would be under Jaramillo's direction I suppose. His philosophy was basically be aggressive, put it in play if it's in the zone. Murton was exciting to me when he came up because we hadn't had a position player come up and be successful since Patterson, and he actually had a disciplined approach. I can see those 2 clashing a bit. If they hadn't messed with him, maybe he would've been more successful under Gerald Perry, who was about working counts, letting the pitch get deep and going oppo more often. It's unfortunate that when our offense became elite in 2008 he wasn't a big part of it. It feels like Murton's original approach would've fit that squad really well.

Article about Matt Murton and deadline deals in the Athletic. This struck me as very odd and extremely stupid. Holy horsefeathers that is dumb.

Replaced by a goon named Aristedes Aquino. Hasnt missed a beat. We just need to pound these [expletive] into oblivion. 11% K Schwarber, Happ, Castellanos are like 3 new editions to the offense in the 2nd half. Need them to keep it up.

Minor League Musings
We Got The Whole 9 replied to Little Slide Rooter's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
I'd like to see them reshape the pen and keep those young guys pushing 96-97 around. Provided Underwood finishes out the year strong I think that it would be a mistake to pay for a FA over his salary. At least let the market play out and grab guys for cheap. Let Cishek, Kintzler, and Strop sign elsewhere. There will be intriguing guys ala Kyle Ryan and the plethora of RPs that sign every year for peanuts and surprise on various organizations. Use the money on Castellanos, maybe Baez, a Rizzo extension, Hamels, etc. Cant have them all but that money saved will help get one or two. Relievers are fickle as we all know. You dont need to pay out the nose to build one. There are several really good ones out there without big money guys holding them up. We're too maxed out as it is to keep playing in that market. -
Jason: You can pick any three ballplayers who have to defend your yard from 30-50 feral hogs. Go. 1:25 Kiley McDaniel: Mike Trout, Javy Baez, Joey Votto

The DBacks dumped 2 Zack Gs and picked up a different Zac G. I'm confident that's a first. -
Only a month old but hes a natural Fly it!

NL Central: Reds, Pirates and others

So he launched a ball into the Allegheny with a bad back -
were you the "move contreras to the OF and start caratini" guy? Yeah, that was a clear misfire
-
Schwarber is horsefeathering on fire
-
Nick is now 2 doubles behind Caratini for 9th on the Cubs lol
-
He does at least still have a good approach at the plate. He might benefit from being a little more aggressive. It's too bad Vic has hit so poorly as a starter.
-
Its significantly better than that 304/448/609

Happer!
