And that's all for Dumatrit.
-
Bases juiced. Come on, DeRosa!
-
It's possible he doesn't see the ball as well out of the hand of lefties.
-
Dumatrit has crossed the 100 pitch mark.
-
Ok...now we need an F-bomb.
-
Wow...lucky bounce.
-
And there's 2 of them. :x God, Marqueef! You SUCK!
-
So is this the inning where Marquis gives up a four spot?
-
Geovany Soto
-
That's a nice start to the inning.
-
It would be nice if our bats woke up soon.
-
I can feel the grit all the way over here.
-
Here comes the inning that Marquis breaks down.
-
Ha ha...gotta love that!
-
That was nice.
-
And the hit parade against Marquis begins....
-
So far, not a good start.

Bruce's Take on the Hendry Regime
vance_the_cubs_fan replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I've always found Hendry very likeable even if I didn't always agree with how he put the team together. This year's team, I like. If he's truly recognized the need for OBP-centric hitting (whether newly recognized or not), then I think things will start to look up for this franchise. -
How about Westbrook?
vance_the_cubs_fan replied to Backtobanks's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Westbrook has a 2.73 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP right now. For his career, he has 102 ERA+. He's 30 yrs old with a contract that is affordable for the next two seasons. If the Indians decide to move him they are going to want more than Marquis and a couple of minor leaguers. Murton's value isn't nearly what we think it is, and while Hoffpauir has looked impressive in two games, he was a minor league FA going into this season. If the Indians decide to trade Westbrook, they will look for better prospects than Murton and Hauffpauir or will want a more proven MLB bat. I'm not sure we have the players they would want in order to trade him. Gallagher might get their attention, but it appears their motivation for making a deal would be to add offense. Gallagher doesn't do that. Murton and Hauffpauir or no guarantees to do that as well. The Cubs don't have the high end offensive level prospects to get it done nor do we have expendable young bats on the major league roster. I'd love to add Westbrook, but the only way I see it happening is if we some how got a third team involved. -

I don't think either of those deals would be enough. If the Indians put Westbrook on the market, I think they could get much more from a lot of other teams. -
We Are Family must be blaring on the loudspeakers. Oh it is, it is. Kent Tekulve just came in to pitch the seventh.
-
I'm personally hoping Bruce spends the whole year in AAA and gets that September cup of coffee.
-
I thought everyone here would like to read Bruce's latest on Jim Hendry. I also think there's much here that could spark some debate. Link. In my opinion, it's very fair assessment of the Hendry era. He's had some good and some bad. If this season stays on the upswing, Hendry could be very well regarded in Cubs lore.

Lou says Gallagher will get at least two more starts. Link.
