Cubs Win @Choad35

I admittedly don't know much about him. But there was a trib article this week that maybe gave me some unrealistic expectations ha. But like I said above, it's only 1 appearance.

Cubs add intriguing bullpen arm in Tony Barnette

The new guy in the Cubs clubhouse is a 35-year-old reliever with experience in Japan, a dastardly cut fastball and excellent comedic timing. Reporter: “Have they told you what you’re go…

He just needs to be used against Japanese players.

I'm looking forward to watching Alzolay tomorrow.

 

[TL1961]

As sloppy as the loss was on Friday, tonight's game was almost the opposite. Pretty nice. They did a lot right.

Good starting pitching. Relief was good overall. HRs, stolen base. The error was the lone blip, really.

0 ERs by Lester against a hot, first place team, and a lot of opposite field hits. Nice.

Each of the top 6 guys scored at least one and drove in at least one.

Yeah, same here. Just that a guy who's 35 and bounced around even playing in Japan doesn't sound too promising....I wasn't expecting much.

Yep, I agree. But you can't over look the fact that this umpire was giving the low strike tonight...when Jon gets that, he'll pound the lower zone all night. When he doesn't and has to pitch higher in the zone, he gets hurt.

Cubs leading, where's Choad35 ?

I’m right here dipshit, was spending time with a good friend of mine who I haven’t seen in 2 years. He’s a
Braves fan so we had to finally get together again and watch a game

Thats Choyne as in Hoyne Avenue in Chicago, close to wrigley and Hoyne bank there also... yes I have family in the Chicago land area

He is not bad. 126 career MLB games and a 3.55 ERA. 1.26 WHIP. Typical middle relief arm.

I wouldn't judge him until he gets a few weeks in. Ryan was in the same boat earlier and has proven to be a asset

They are seriously thinking they will have a strong pen the second half with Kimbrel, Morrow, Kintzler, Cishek, Strop, Edwards which is why they are looking for a lefty out getter. The rest are all placeholders. I finally think this is the summer Monty gets moved, Chatwood has pushed the long man spot starter out. He deserves better than just insurance.

A healthy Morrow would make a huge differene in this bullpen. But doesn't sound like he's close to returning.

I rather them take their time and get him right for the stretch run.

So does Alzolay do the job to Flowers if Contreras gets hit tonight?

I hope not... but he may want to "prove himself" that he has his teammates back.

I think the whole unwritten rules of baseball are antiquated and stupid. But I'm not asking what you want to happen... what do you think would happen?

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

Oh nvm... Brian McCann is catching. The biggest douchebag in MLB.

They aint my orioles. And I am right outside of DC so itd be the Gnats anyway. But it ain't. It's been the Cubs since birth. My family is from the Chicago area.

My family is also from the Chicago area and I’m in Tennessee so a lot of idiot Braves fans here and some cardinals fans but also a lot of cubs fans. Mark Grace was my idol growing up, I’m a lefty and played first base growing up and always wore number 17.
