  1. Eh, after those dirty slides this year I don't feel bad at all for him. He took the most money, he knew their whole deal/culture there and made his own bed and had been a dirtbag to some of our guys so far this season. Was there more than one? If so, I'm forgetting. The one at the beginning of the year didn't bother me much. And its going to take a hell of a lot more than that, for me to forget how great Dex was for us. He'll be one of my favorite Cub players forever. Dex's demeanor should be emulated throughout the league. I'd take him back in a heartbeat and forgive his silly transgression.
  2. Good article in The Athletic, really sums up the lineup dilemma well https://theathletic.com/63038/2017/05/26/sheehan-joe-maddon-is-optimizing-the-leadoff-spot-but-at-what-cost/ I do not agree that Kyle should take a demotion to Iowa. However, I also don't really agree with those who say he would have nothing to gain there. But as it is, I do agree that, if he continues to struggle, he probably should be dropped even further in the lineup. I want Bryzzo and Zo to get the lion's share of the PA. I don't have a problem with giving this more time to work itself out, though. Thoughts?
  3. I had no idea Wood was having such a great season so far
  4. His favorite movie is Steel Magnolias
  5. Shoulder injury at the moment. Hence the slightly damaged goods. But they found no structural damage. I would still take the shot.
  6. Man horsefeathers it Get Cahill back. Slightly damaged goods, maybe we get a discount. Tons of strikeouts and grounders. Plenty versatile.
  7. Red Sox pitchers struck out 20 Rangers today. 4 hitters Kd 3+ times. Gallo was oddly not among them. And the Dodgers just jocked us with their own 4 inning save. The pens will be ready to go in the upcoming series.
  8. Yeah it didn't feel like it was too long ago. I'm sure he'll pick it back up. Everybody has 1-20s
  9. Good stuff. The Cardinals have discussed moving Dex out of the leadoff spot.
  10. Giolito threw a 7 inning no hitter against the Nats affiliate
  11. Not really avoiding with 4 hits in those two innings, no? Martinez is 2-2 too Tseng with a quality outing so far - 4 IP, 5 Ks, 1 BB, 2 Hs...50 IP, 40 Ks, 8 BBs, 4 HRs, 4 Hs this season. All hands on deck for trade season! It was tongue in cheek
  12. Oscar avoiding contact 74% strikes, 5:0 in the first 2 innings
  13. 141-21 seems like a safe bet now
  14. I disagree with letting him face a lefty after already striking out thrice
  15. a lot of them have multiple songs, most notoriously rizzo and yes, "benny and the jules" somehow makes me long for his old terrible dance song by his wife, "alive" They do but Heyward adds new ones most often. That latest song is just starting to hit now.
  16. His KBB is beautiful. I want us to buy him. 200 innings. Pumping 97 with his 100th pitch.
