IST: Cubs vs. Mariners

[Diehardfan]

A couple more runs gets Lester out of there after 5 or 6 innings.....gets the back end of the bullpen some work and gives Strop, Rondon and Chapman a day off.

Coghlan and Heyward both came through today. What a miracle!

I'd like to pile on with some more runs, you know the kind that Ommy hates so much. A laugher might be just what the doctor ordered for this team.

Another side benefit for Cogs being back with the team is they aren't so reliant on the youngsters. I generally don't like throwing the common anecdotes out such as young players lacking consistency but that really does seem to be the case with this team. With Zobrist being in a slump lately and Fowler being on the DL, it really seemed like Bryant and Rizzo were the only ones putting in pro at bats every time. And when some of the younger guys let AB's get away it hurts.

 

[Mr. Cub]

Rizzo! That dude always gets the big hits.

Baseball, more than any other sport, is in many ways an exercise in psychology. The front office gave them a boost by showing they wanted to make the team better, than finishing with 2 strong wins against the Sox and now a laugher against Seattle could be huge. Now the guys can have fun, smile, loosen the old sphincters and start thinking about the stretch run.

I said before usually when GM/owner goes out and makes a big trade at deadline, it ignites a team cause they see management going all in trying to win it all..
They either spent prospects and or money

We will have to see if LaStella reports to Iowa. did not sound like he was too happy about this, especially for Coghlan.

1 2 3 Against Sardinas!!111!!!! We suck OMG11!!!!! Trade everyone

 

[Shawon0Meter]

12 runs and a rain delay? It really does feel like April again!

 

[DanTown]

Really wish Montgomery would get on track. Not like they gave up a lot to get him but you wish Montgomery would be a reliable guy for getting lefties.

Nice to see Heyward square up a few balls. Obviously need a larger sample but he's getting a good amount of elevation lately.

Sucks to lose LaStella but considering Fowler's leg injury, the Cubs need a OF more than they need a IF. Plus, with Baez playing so well, they simply cannot find many at bats for LaStella.

 

[PickSix]

Not liking their odds today. Struggles vs so-so RHP doesn't make for a good day here

Hope you didn't place a call to your bookie today.

I'm good. Didn't figure that Cog would do squat. But I believe I'm his last game in aa he got 3 hits. This year he was taking walks. He was not making contact. The injury may have been a factor

That said. I would be disapointed if they don't deal here

 

[Mr. Cub]

Back on track with that run differential with +11 today. Almost guarantees we get shutout tomorrow.

 

[CSF77]

Well with Cog's leading off makes you think Fowler was rushed back and this promote was to lessen Fowler's playing time.

What I noticed was Baez 3-5 vs a righty. And a quality one. He proves he can start to wreck them also it puts him in as a full time player. Which ends the need to add a bat. With Cog it lasts Fowler get 100%.

This. Will get no-hit through 8 when Montero gets a bloop single.
