IST: Cubs vs. Pirates

[TC in Mississippi]

Don’t feed the troll.

You're right of course. Thanks.

Seriously? I've made a few comments in the past about repetitive negativity and I say a bad thing about a single pitcher and that's what you come back with?

Yeah, that's what I come back with.

I get ripped when I make any comment about the Cubs, yet a couple of games into the season those same people that rip me are already whining about the Cubs

Somebody want to tell me again how the guy who had a 4.79 FIP away from Coors last year was going to be great away from Coors?

I think Chatwood will be just fine in the 5 role.

Hard to get excited for Heyward being up there with bases loaded and 2 outs

Eh, there’s always tomorrow. I can’t recall seeing that many infield hits in one game.

He just missed the fastball. The next pitch a change up was a strike. The last one was close but could have been out the zone. He didn’t swing at junk

Hope that he gets locked in now. .194 is ugly 2 HR's or not.

I hadn't really looked at this yet because it's so early but I find it interesting the cubs at +10 run diff are tied for the 9th best in the league despite being 5-5. The really interesting aspect to me has been the pitching. I guess it's because their bullpen has been so great but they are 6th in all of baseball in runs scored and it's not just because they've had 2 games postponed. Most teams right now are at 10 or 11 games.

Unsurprisingly their runs scored is in the bottom half but closer to the middle than the bottom. If they start plating some of the RISP which admittedly has been an issue for them even prior to this year, the team could start to really come off strong.
