    I'd imagine they'll go 'musical chairs' with the 5th spot until Wada is back. Of course, they could always try Wood again or (gulp) EJax.

    How does Robin Ventura keep his job?? White Sox up 4-0 in the 8th. Samardzija cruising but gives up a lead off single followed by a a full count walk (after several foul balls). After another single to load the bases, he hitsKinsler to bring in the first run. There's still no outs and the bags are juiced with Miggy at bat. Any idea at all that Jeffy might be tiring??? But Robin stays with him and he Ks Cabrera. How 'bout go to the pen now?? Nope. Victor up and he laces the first pitch fastball into the right CF gap for a bases clearing double and a tie score. Now he goes to the pen. Way to go Robin! I know the White ox bull pen isn't great, but you can't let your pitch through that inning that late in the game with a four run lead. Why not bring in Robertson in the 8th to get out of the jam with minimal runs scored and then worry about the 9th while you're still leading. Methinks the White Sox management absolutely does not want to have to fire Robin, the golden boy of the organization. But his record is pitiful since August of his first season.

    Link There goes the Marlins playoff hopes.

    I'm less concerned about Roach pitching for the Cubs than I am for Wacha pitching against the Cubs.

    Because I can hardly wait to see him actually pitch, does anyone have a scouting report on him? Lively fastball? Junk pitcher? Can he hit? Or at least sac bunt effectively

    Gleyber just went down on 3 straight pitches, the last was not even close to the strike zone. However, the announcers just raved about him saying he's the youngest player in a really competitive league.

    For those in the Chicago-land area, the Midwest All-Star game is on CSN Chicago Plus (665-1 on DirecTV).

    Andy the Clown is creepy, very Gacy-esque! :shock:

    Cole H. ? Edwin J. ? That old guy at AAA ?
  10. PackLandVA
    Yeah, but could he hit???
  11. PackLandVA
    Baez with a single in has second AB, but get thrown out trying to steal.
  12. PackLandVA
    Game on Comcast Sports Net. Szczur and Baez with btb Doubles in the first.

    John Danks is also a terrible starting pitcher most of the time.
  14. PackLandVA
    Why is Ross starting at C instead of Montero??
  15. PackLandVA
    And I believe the Cubs are leading MLB in stolen bases, or very near the top. When was the last time that happened???
  16. PackLandVA
    You just knew the Pirates were gonna score off of Schlitter, it's just a matter of how many runs.
  17. PackLandVA
    Thanks TT. Makes sense that it's easier to stretch him out in the minors and then use him in relief in the bigs than vice versa.
  18. PackLandVA
    What is the plan with Wada? Since he's starting at Iowa, are the Cubs looking at him as a viable option for the rotation in the bigs? Are they looking to possible replace Hendricks (or Wood). with him being 34, he's not a long-term option. And if he was gonna be a bullpen guy, why have him start at Iowa?

    Bryant in a mini-slump: 3 for his last 21 with 10 Ks.
  20. PackLandVA
    I doubt we have the top ranked minor league system anymore! :x

    ESPN prefers style over substance. Their style has gotten progressively suckier over the past couple of decade. I do not watch.
  22. PackLandVA
    Olt also had 2 ABs two days after he was hit. It took an off day for him to see a specialist, which is when the hairline fracture was found. I don't think it's that odd. If they knew he had a fracture, I doubt he gets the ABs.

    TWSS!
  25. PackLandVA
    Well, if you blink you may miss Bryant in AAA Not really interested in watching Bryant at AAA. He'll be up soon enough. I'd really like to see Javy cut down on the Ks just a bit. Hopefully a few weeks or so in Iowa will get improve his contact rate.
