IST: Cubs vs Pirates(Home Opener)

[chibears55]

Rizzo and Baez worked the count, but swung need to lay off those high ones.

Their cold, they just wanna go home..lol

Darvish needs to be cut, send headcase Bryant to Iowa where he belongs, bring up two guys from AAA to replace both of them and the roster instantly improves.

Who the **** is this bonehead?

We can give you Yolmer for Kris.

I watched enough of the game to be impressed with Darvish. No way he would have expected anything being hit over the dead ivy yesterday. Saw alot of 1-2 counts and when I flipped into the game, he had 53 pitches going into the 5th inning. That was my biggest gripe, seemingly wanting to strike everyone out. Averaging 10-15 pitches an inning on such a bad weather night was really promising.

As far as heyward, well, it only took him 3 years to find his hitting game, I still think he owes us some back pay.

I'd counter that offer, but I don't think you have anything we'd want. Perhaps Baez

Yu wasn't awful yesterday. Didn't get behind in many counts. Didn't walk a guy and his worst mistake was a pitch slipping out of his hand and hitting the opposing pitcher. 2 batters later, Marte goes yard.

Before last night Darvish had never pitched in 40 degrees or below, 4 games under 50 degrees, 0-3. No excuse but too early to write him off as it seems some are.

Bryant is a top 25 talent right now. He holds more value than Q did at the time of the trade. He would be closer to a Sale return.

So at best Alozay as a toss in.

 

[SilenceS]

Thats the best Darvish stuff looked. I was really encouraged by that start. He just needs confidence again

It was the best I have seen him for the cubs. 1-2 counts 12 pitch per inning average. Any haters from two unbelievable home runs can blame the fucking video boards, you know, those revenue generating machines that all the fans felt we needed to compete.

Tonight's game moved to 6:30.

 

[zack54attack]

Cubs just need to worry about winning series. Win the next 3-4 series and you're right back in it.

Sad news.. RIP
Always liked watching him pitch, even with the Expos

Caratini found some pop in his bat this year

Nothing makes me change the channel faster than watching yet another horrible home plate umpire....totally distracts from the game.

Javy, gotta run buddy...
