IST: Chicago Cubs (7-5) at Pittsburgh Pirates (6-7)

Super jel of you guys actually watching the game. Fucking blacked out here in central IA. WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT OF THE MLB NETWORK WHEN 90% OF THE GAMES ARE BLACKED OUT!?!?!?!?!

6-8 in order is going to hound them this year..

I like coghlin but i like him better off the bench..
Unless he gets going again in next month, they may need to look for a LFer for that 5th or 6th hole in order..

Now, you get something going on top and the 6-8 are killing the rally or not coming through with a big 2 out hit..

There isn't really any good LF that are going to be available for rentals. Cubs definitely have the farm to pay a bit of a premium if need be. I think they should hold off for awhile and see how LF plays out with the platoon

 

[JZsportsfan]

Schlitter is coming in with the tying run at the plate

:nervous:

 

[The Bandit]

Why is this guy even still here I thought he deserved the axe after last season.

Not sure .. but for having 8 guys in the pen, maddon seems to go to Schlitter alot..

 

[JZsportsfan]

Schlitter, Edwin Jackson, and Phil Coke warming up or on the hill

Oh my

We need help

 

[Mr. Cub]

Shitter doing his thang..


Seems he has had runners every inning he's pitched..

 

[The Bandit]

Brian shitter clap clap clap clap clap brian shitter clap clap clap clap clap!!!!

 

[chibears55]

Yep.. think its time maddon and theo readjust the bullpen and bench

 

[Diehardfan]

Anyone know the status of Rameriz and Grimm? Nothing I like better than walking the first guy you see....


This guy is useless.....there's Jugs pitching machines with better stuff.

 

[JZsportsfan]

Nothing in baseball is worse than having your bullpen blow a game

 

[The Bandit]

I can't write in all caps?

 

[Mr. Cub]

Woody wants to deliver one mighty fine uppercut to one Brian Schlitter.

 

[JZsportsfan]

Cubs should call up Rivero or James Russell

Send Schlitter back to Iowa on the 1st plane back from Pittsburgh

Grimm at least a week. .

Ramirez at least 2 weeks. ..


They have noone to get them through the 6th if needed

Motte and Strop gets them through the 7th n 8th
Rondon closes

 

[TL1961]

Why does Schlittr pitch every GD dsy?

 

[The Bandit]

Rafael Soriano is in free agency and would take little to sign probably, and we're rolling with Brian Schlitter, and Edwin Jackson... yikes I bet there are other good options compared to those two.

 

[Diehardfan]

Grimm at least a week. .

Ramirez at least 2 weeks. ..

Thanks. I suppose you probably have to add a week to those estimates for rehab assignments as well. WTF...I can't handle three more weeks of Grizzly Adams.

 

[FrankieLyrical]

Can we please release Schlitter?

 

[TL1961]

I thought Russell was gone
