IST: Cubs at Dbacks

[Omeletpants]

You can Blame Almora and your boy Happ sucking eggs this year.

The forum troll is coming out in you. Nobody talking about Happ

 

[TL1961]

The Cubs announcers referenced the White Sox starter with 14 Ks in 6 innings. Sox relievers each struck out two in one inning of work, to finsh with 20Ks combined today in 9 innings. Not too shabby.

Bryant another well struck ball.

Maybe because it is so painfully obvious that your criticism of anyone playing where Happ did is due to your bias.

The same is true with your Bryant criticism, as you think your boy Bote is a better player.

If bryant and Rizzo are heating up as they appear to be this offense could be pretty bonkers pretty quick. Nothing recent shows signs of Heyward slowing down. Baez is hitting better than last year at the same time. Contreras is crushing. Bote is hitting very well.... think we're gonna see several more 10 run games this year.

Q has looked good so far, and we have two HRs, but I'd sure like to see more runs here. Looked like the 4th could be a big inning and it fizzled. Starting to get that feel of a game we're clearly playing better, but it's too close. Let's open this up a bit.

Maybe we can trade you and idiot for KB. Bring life back in here.

Just say the magic words:

"I was wrong."

The petty arguing on the cubs board is annoying.

Add Schwarber to that too, he having a good week

Wtf Quintana. You were cruising.

 

[SilenceS]

Wtf Quintana. You were crushing.

Saw it coming. His ball started to look flat and he was missing spots.

I agree. But he didn't even have that many pitches!

Not having someone warm up? This guy is trash

 

[chibears55]

There was Zero reason to pull Q there

Too bad Maddon wasted Ryan in an 8 run game yesterday

Team ERA, Cubs are #12. Not bad but he is not this great catcher or anything. If anything with a staff of vets and his dislike. effect it should be top 10

 

[CSF77]

or we can get into BB/9. #3 in the league at 4.27. Yep saving those close calls and all.

I've never said that he was this bad hitter..

But fatthead you are the biggest hypocrite I've ever seen. One side of your mouth you pump up Russell's D and negate his O. Other side of your mouth you negate Contreras' dislike impact on the staff and just play up his O.

You are a joke.

Nobody was talking Happ idiot. I have given up on him and dont expect him to be in the organization long

Not sure if Bote is better than Bryant but I do know that Bryant is overrated and will be a mistake to give this guy a mega contract.
