Kyle Seager ducks on pitch called strike 3

My initial reaction is why is this guy not the LOOGY? You want a guy that can buckle knees coming in not another Sox retread like Holland.

He has been rough but the cubs taught him the knuckle curve. If he can harbor his talent, he could play a big part

 

[TL1961]

I would rather have the Cubs be like the Yankees, Dodgers and the Braves. Always in the chase year in and out. Vs the Royals, Twins and White Sox doing 1 short window per 20 years.

That really comes down to market size and not being stupid with the farm. Theo got dumb selling off like he did.

So, Let me make sure I understand you.

We won the WS in 2016 and have been in the playoffs every year since. And if the playoffs started today, we are in again.

But you criticize Theo and wish you were like the Dodgers, who haven’t won a WS since Reagan was in office. ??

The guy has an era higher than his IQ and walks a batter an inning.

Theoretically, he won't be pitching an inning.....or would you rather have Holland in there serving up meatball stew?

They won their division 12 times sense 1988. After that is is a lottery.

All you have to do is win your division to get a shot. They have.

I said I would rather be like the Dogers than the White sox. Your read into it too much.

5x won their division.

http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/chc/history/year_by_year_results.jsp
6x won their division.

So you really need to think about it before just looking at it from a short window of success, LAD are a class act.

CATALLANOS AND BAEZ ARE THE ONLY TWO PLAYERS ON THIS CLUBS. THEY CAN TRADE EVERYONE ELSE

 

[Fred Garvin]

My gawd. Are the friggin Cardinals ever gonna lose again? This Flaherty guy goes 8 innings of one hit ball. It's not like they're hitting like crazy...but dang. Hopefully someone else can come through and beat these guys.

 

[Fred Garvin]

Lester at 102 pitches....might be time.

 

[Fred Garvin]

Lester gets out of 3 bases loaded jams. There's clutch hitting...and in this case clutch pitching?

Same shit as last season with the Brewers. But, Cubs had their chances throughout the season and blew too many games they shouldn't have. But people here said not to worry.

You really shouldn't worry that people here said not to worry, you get so fucking mad.

No. Holland has no business in MLB

I was answering “where has he been” or whatever

You are the whiniest and most negative little wienie I have ever seen

 

[TL1961]

Mets led by 6 in 9th at Washington, and the Nats walked them off, 11-10.

So you would take 12 division titles in 30 years over a WS win?
