Cubs at Reds IST!

[theberserkfury]

I'd been holding out hope on Kalish... nice to see him pull his numbers up to something respectable...

Emilio!

Rain delay's back on.

Just gotta get through one more inning so Shark can get a win...

 

[theberserkfury]

Welp, there goes that plan.

Hamilton with a game-tying homer.

Cubs give up the lead and 5 minutes later a rain delay.

Rain in the forecast until at least midnight in Cinci area.

Poor Samardzija. Part of me just hopes the Cubs trade him so he can become relevant somewhere and break the 10 win mark

 

[zack54attack]

Ryan Sweeny is bad at baseball.

Shark with another loss. 1.98 ERA in 6 starts and is 0 and 3. Disgusting. Um, also for all the people who talk shit about Castro. He is our best hitter and power threat and RBI guy right now. lol!!!!

 

[theberserkfury]

Opposite field 2-run jack for Rizzo off a lefty!

 

[theberserkfury]

And Starlin 2-2 with an RBI in the cleanup spot... he's really looking pretty good there, surprisingly.

Barney cost Castillo a caught stealing there

The Cubs may set records in losses but it looks like core pieces are perhaps ready to be augmented w fa/trades of prospects

I dont see the Cubs making any big trades anytime soon with there big prospects. They have to become competitive first for them to do that. Also, it would have to be the right guy on the market. But, you never know who goes on the trade block from year to year.

Rizzo with a fucking great slide. 5-3 Cubs

 

[SilenceS]

Barney is so bad at the plate lol

 

[SilenceS]

Wow, Castro not charged an error but after seeing the replay. I think they may be right. Hamilton is fucking insanely fast.

 

[chibears55]

Samardzija gotta be seriously dumb founded... he gives up 3 or less runs and cant win.. Jackson gives up 4-5 runs and has a chance to win..

I still don't think they are that bad. they aren't getting blown out of games they just aren't scoring enough to win. They have 104 runs against and 90 for in 25 games. They are at 3.6 runs/game and last year the NL average was like 4. So, they are in need of 1-2 hitters and suddenly that run diff is about even. Generally speaking even run diff is expected to yield a .500ish team though that can vary a ton.

Weird time to pull Jackson

True but I think this is the best the Cubs hitting will be and the pitching will take a step back
