    Schwarber just hit 3 straight bombs in BP. One to right, the next to center, then right down the LF line.

    Holy horsefeathers that was an amazing AB Willy

    If we're blaming the coaches for the young hitters slumping, do they not get credit for fixing Rizzo back in the day and Heyward this year? Legit argument for Heyward, but I'm not sure about Rizzo. Mallee was hired after 2014, Rizzo's breakout year. I understand he has his work cut out for him and then some. Not many coaches are given 5 young players almost at once. And most of the guys were rushed at warp speed through the system. But there has to be some visible evidence of growth at the MLB level to earn some slack. It's simply not there.

    Am I off-base in saying John Mallee completely sucks at his job and should be held largely accountable for the downfall of our young bats? Lump Hinske in there as well. I wonder how long Theo is going to abide this shitshow 3/5 of his pillars are putting forth.

    Praying Eloy can be like Marte with a much higher ISO. Just hit the horsefeathers out of the ball to make up for the lack of walks. Also it seems like I was on to something http://www.cubsinsider.com/2017/05/26/among-list-cubs-trade-targets-jeff-samardzija-might-make-sense/

    The Jake Arrieta in 2017 story. I'll take a handful of hits and a 9:1 KBB any day. Sucks that the offense couldn't back him up.
  7. We Got The Whole 9
    Jake was far from shitty tonight. Just snake bit by the HR. But it doesn't matter, if the Cubs post two whole hits.

    Can't go to a bar? I have a 13-day old. I think my wife would kill me, especially since she's as big a Cubs fan and probably has more cabin fever than me. Ha, never mind. I'm listening to 570 am . I hate when we play the Doyers.

    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.

    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?

    I had no idea Wood was having such a great season so far
  13. We Got The Whole 9
    Down a decent trade chip
  14. We Got The Whole 9
    His favorite movie is Steel Magnolias

    Shoulder injury at the moment. Hence the slightly damaged goods. But they found no structural damage. I would still take the shot.
  16. We Got The Whole 9
    14.5 K% in May with a 296 ISO
  17. We Got The Whole 9
    Man horsefeathers it Get Cahill back. Slightly damaged goods, maybe we get a discount. Tons of strikeouts and grounders. Plenty versatile.

    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.
  19. We Got The Whole 9
    Yeah it didn't feel like it was too long ago. I'm sure he'll pick it back up. Everybody has 1-20s
  20. We Got The Whole 9
    Good stuff. The Cardinals have discussed moving Dex out of the leadoff spot.
  21. We Got The Whole 9
    Giolito threw a 7 inning no hitter against the Nats affiliate
  22. We Got The Whole 9
    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
  23. We Got The Whole 9
    Oscar avoiding contact 74% strikes, 5:0 in the first 2 innings
  24. We Got The Whole 9
    Damn 11 runs before the 2nd out
