Cubs @ Rockies

[CSF77]

Well that unraveled fast.

At least Kilian built up to 61 pitches. Not quite as smooth as game 1 but he limited the damage to 1 run over 4.

Work in progress.

The Cubs are playing in Coors Field with a lineup that includes 6 guys who can't hit a ball 275 feet.

 

[TL1961]

Ross sent his best hitter to the plate to pinch hit with two outs and first base empty. Intentional walk. Died there. WTF?

 

[CSF77]

Leiter called up for Sat. Not on the 40 and 1 guy will get the boot from it.

Leiter pitched 4 innings and gave up 1 run/ 4 hits and 1 walk. 7 punch outs.

You would have to guess Chavez cut.

Everyone freak out about a regular season game in April when the Cubs o/U on wins is 75!

I didn’t realize it was “freaking out” to not love what they did.

I know they’re going to suck. That’s obvious. I didn’t know we weren’t allowed to discuss it on a message board. I mean why have this thing if it’s only here for when they’re winning a lot of games?

Suck might be a bit strong. They scored 5 runs and generated 13 hits. This game was on Stroman. And to be honest it was a blip.

The Cubs are a .500 team right now and are down a starter.

If they were striking out 13 times and the pen let the game go then I would get the anti vibe.

I've said that David needs to play Villar every day at 3B. Simmons should be back and can spell SS/2B.

Wisdom needs the axe.

Rivas I really like but he lacks power. 1B is a premium hitter spot and a plus glove is more vital up the middle.

Stroman was garbage last night. It would be really nice to see a bounce back during his next start. Guys that are outspoken on social media or to the press get old quickly if they don't preform. But I give him credit for acknowledging how bad he was.

He was on 4 days rest. He gassed. Steel also was on 4 day and he gassed.

Some of this crap falls on David Ross.

4 day rest.
Pushing flukes over vets.
Using your best middle man to plunk and get suspended. Yes he is serving it now.

It really is stupid shit going on.

You realize for the entirety of most of our lives pitchers have pitched on 4 days rest...what's the weird thing with acting like it's short rest?

Really......it's the pussification of MLB. What kind of athelete can't go out and perform after resting for 4 days?

Biggest group of pussies in pro sports.

Kyle got a extra day off. Must be nice to be king.

 

[CSF77]

Pretty shocked on the Abbott boot. He might sift through though. St John? WTF is that?

 

[CSF77]

So over under on another 4 spot?
