  1. Let it hit you Jason Reds have done it twice today
  2. Really disappointed in Bryzzo that inning Avila worked a good AB
  3. Damn now that's a couple beautiful plays by Javy
  4. His control has been complete horsefeathers 4 pitch walk to bring up Votto
  5. That was just a terrible play, no need to rush
  6. Come the hell on Q, stop giving away free bases
  7. Cubs Insider suggested Kyle might want to change the approach and start swinging first pitch. That was a case where I would agree.
  8. Zo scratched due to a stiff neck but is available Joe says he hasn't heard anything positive in regards to Addi coming back anytime soon
  9. Stanton just ripped his 22nd HR in his last 34 games
  10. My concern is that his wrist injury that hasn't fully recovered is the reason for all of this. Then again, i guess if Joe thought the wrist was an issue he wouldnt keep putting him at cleanup, would he? Yeah I'm the one who created the thread concerning his wrist injury sinking his season, so surely I am right there with you. It's just that, with Joe, unless Zobrist voluntarily shuts himself down, he's gonna play him and rely on his "professional ABs" and such in the middle of the lineup. It sucks and it's annoying. But it's just something that you have to live with, with Joe as the Manager, unfortunately.
  11. Joe kept a hitter with a 280 wOBA in the 1 or 2 spot for 2 solid months so this really shouldn't surprise anybody. He sticks with his guys through the ups and downs.
  12. I feel like he gets out-of-sorts after he pulls a massive dong. He pulled a long HR against the Cards on 7/23. Before that HR, since his recall, he had a 30% K rate and 70% contact. After that HR those numbers have exploded to 47% and 58%. Extremely small samples, granted. His message from the Cubs braintrust was pretty simple: quick to the pitch, stay through it, and stay up the middle or to the left. He's really not doing any of those things lately.
  13. Kyle Long at Bears practice, presumably still steaming over Charlottesville or something
  14. We picked up Aguayo Randle IR'd
  15. The division isn't as bad as the records make it seem, actually. The Reds, Cubs, and Cardinals rank in the top 10 for position player WAR, the Brewers are 16th and the Pirates are 22nd The Cardinals, Pirates, and Brewers have top 10 rotations, we are 16th (though 7th in the 2nd half), and the Reds are dead last The Cardinals, Cubs, and Brewers are just outside of the top 10 for reliever WAR and the Pirates are 18th, while the Reds are awful again So yeah the Reds have awful pitching but these are very talented teams
  16. http://www.chicagonow.com/cubs-den/2017/08/daily-cubs-minors-recap-underwood-records-best-start-of-career-miller-does-likewise-little-with-four-shutout/
  17. Special kind of stupid here
  18. Avila got dirt in his eye from a ball that hit the opposite batters box
