We Got The Whole 9

Wow that was a blast from JHey

Don't know if you guys saw this. From Cubs Den That shoulder must be really tender still

Yeah I just don't see them heaping a workload on CJ like that

So on the MLBN they were discussing the Astros use of Chris Devenski as a power reliever who can go multiple innings in the middle of a game and bridge the gap to the back of the pen. Devenski has not carried a K% above 25 since the low minors but this year he is at an astronomical 52%, pitching 12 innings so far. Obviously that will drop substantially but if he has found a niche and his stuff plays and let's say, it settles around 35 or so, that's still fantastic. So it got me wondering if the Cubs have a player capable of being that guy. Monty is a flexible guy who can get 4-5 outs but he's not really a power pitcher. I don't think that player is on the MLB roster The guys are all groomed to be 1 inning pitchers. But down in Iowa, Pierce is rocking a 45% and he's clearly capable of pitching multiple innings. It's 5 innings, but again, there's room to regress and still remain quite good. Does anyone see Johnson playing a significant role in Chicago down the stretch ala CJ last year? I'm a little fuzzy about it but when he was drafted, I feel like there was a lot of talk that he could move to the Majors quickly if he went the reliever route and stuck to the FB/CU combo. As is common, struggling to develop the 3rd pitch has prevented him from reaching his SP potential but his stuff is playing very well and missing bats in the pen. He's still walking a lot of guys but so did CJ before his promotion. Thoughts?

Can we lend Baez to the KBO lol

Who do the damn Reds think they are resurrecting Scott Feldman like this

Honestly I think the Brewers have a quality brain trust backing Counsell, who is going to be a really good Manager. I like a lot of the trades they made and I believe they'll be actual contenders in a couple years. Then they'll have to accept they can't horsefeathers with us and have to blow it up again.

Last I saw, Sano is averaging 102 in his first 40 or so events Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

Honestly wouldn't be surprised to see it immediately after this start

Only 60% strikes but Cease finished 6 no-hit innings nonetheless.

Super intrigued to see how fast they move their first blue chip arm

Bryce Harper just hit a grand slam off Teheran, his 2nd bomb of the game, and 7th off Teheran in just 35 PA

Tseng, Cruz, and Cease have combined for 11 innings, 2 hits allowed (both Cruz'), 0 ER, 8:3

Russellmuscle! horsefeathers that was gorgeous!

horsefeathers yes now let's steal this one Rizzo!

Holy horsefeathers, KB absolutely has to get this run in

That PA did not deserve to end like that

That was awesome and nerve-wracking What a call

Let's steal this damn game and leave em drowning in their sorrows

Big inning brewing, nice job Bryzzo

Albert doing damage on that swing!

Another good outing from Hudson. From Cubs Den

Hell of a win, the type that can catapult a team

They really needed this horsefeathering inning

Man he has been great in his little sample
