  1. +defense?
  2. nutrient separating baffle box industries (NSBB.com?) will get a ton of hits off this.
  3. Just wait til next year when both are here. If Schwarber was as good behind the plate as even Contreras is now, you could have 2 of the top 3 hitting catchers in the league on 1 roster, but each getting 600 PAs between 1 playing LF while the other catches. I like this idea and wholeheartedly support it \:D/ #savetheknees
  4. I've been out of the country a few days. What happened to Dex?
  5. Glenallen Hill would like a word with you. I saw him hit one high off the scoreboard at Coors. Yeah, I know, cool story.
  6. Garth, if you just broke rizzos wrist, I WILL FIND YOU.
  7. What difference does that make? Ross has never had a WAR over 1.9 in his career, and he's only touched 1.0 a few times. Most folks here were hoping he would retire before last season was even over. Yeah, Miggy has sucked this year, but we're talking about a small sample size. He has a much better offensive track record than Ross. 1.4 wins over replacement-level. Maths
  8. What about Szczur? He's already back, no?
  9. If his back is still as bad as his performance suggests, he should be just fine.
  10. I'm guessing this is just until laStella and soler come off the dl. At that point two of Coghlan, Almora, and Contreras are gone/sent down.
  11. How many of these do we need though? the Cubs need someone to come in in the 6th or 7th and get Bryce Harper or Matt Adams or David Ortiz out. I think matusz can still be that guy. When you have more than one then those two roles aren't mutually exclusive. Much like Wood last year, you can use him to eat innings when needed, and you can use him to erase left handed hitters in close games. Dont confuse the boy; let focus on doing one thing good, then we can talk about doing something else! I do like stretching him out o get him more reps, but if he comes up, Cahill, warren, and wood are fine as long men, imho.
  12. WHOA. Whoa. This changes EVERYTHING. All I'm saying is there's a chance he could be a guy. It works better with 30 hyphens. "looks like your usual K's-a-lot-of-guys/walks-a-lot-of-guys,-but-if-we-can-get-him-to-stop-walking-guys-whilst-continuing-to-strike -guys-out-he-could-be-useful type."
  13. I wonder if they're doing that in an effort to help him find his proper mechanics again. Or if that was the hook they used to get him to sign with us. Or if they seriously think they can Arrieta him. I think it's the Cahill plan, just with the added step of some AAA starts. Keep him stretched out enough that future starting isn't ruled out, have him as a multi-inning RP option late in the season, bring him back in free agency(or arbitration if he's down long enough) as rotation depth, and have him settle as a multi-inning reliever after he inevitably fails to make the rotation. How many of these do we need though? the Cubs need someone to come in in the 6th or 7th and get Bryce Harper or Matt Adams or David Ortiz out. I think matusz can still be that guy.
  14. so truffle thinks lackey's use should be severely limited? Once every five days seems about right Comment decision: You should use your anus every day. Or He should start throwing Vaughn's pitch, the "Eliminator".
  15. Just throw at his stupid ugly face if he comes up.
  16. Family friendly board.
  17. I work as an external employee for another company. Once a year, there's a document I need to sign for my company. They email me the document. I print it, sign it, and fax it back. It's easier than messing with going to a scanner and creating a pdf to email. I just sold a house using "verisign" all the way up to closing day.
  18. Zobrist. Creepy.
  19. Consider me astonished that you are in this camp.
  20. Pirate fan troll
  21. You're not new, and you have a history. A no-hitter is completely different than a shutout, and only everyone that's ever watched baseball should know that. I've seen new posters get slaughtered on here for making points you guys felt were silly. That's not conducive towards increasing forum activity. Also as I said before Arrieta had pitched a no hitter before. And considering how important he is to this team's overall success I don't think pulling Arrieta in a blowout win would be an awful idea. I think it's safe to say a mature player, like Arrieta, would understand the thought process behind the move. I, for one, can't keep up with the content that's here and keep up my happy and productive home and work life. To me, there's plenty of content, and I already have to sift through a little garbage content (much less than any other forum)...I wouldn't want more. NSBB 4EVA.
  22. "Travis" would have been better +1
