IST: Cubs VS Rockies Discussion Thread

[Captain Obvious]

All the White Sox trolls had was the Cubs being worse than their team. Beginning next season the Sox will be so much less than the Cubs that they won't just take a back seat. The Sox will take a spot in the cramped third row back seat in a small SUV.

The middle ***** seat.

Yeah, all this Baez hype is overshadowing another great start from Hendricks.

Yeah right. 8 innings into the game with 1BB is what I like. The kid's a pitcher!

 

[Bear Pride]

And they just won 2 of 3 from the best team in NL on road before this, so what your point ?

This team is doing better then what most you haters thought, and even after trading the 2 starters , which you all thought they'd be even worse.

Theyve been playing pretty good ball last 3 weeks, above most expectations.

Colorado is actually #1 in OB% at home.

The second one I am pretty sure was a slider. The first one is kind of hard. It could have been changeup. It was an 85 MPH pitch that was inside. Flande slider and change sit around there.

So he's already adjusting to them pitching him inside....nice.

I totally agree with this. Most Sox fans are jealous that the Cubs fans keep showing up even when they're bad, even really bad. A very large reason for the trolling, IMO. They have no idea how much worse this will be once the Cubs do field a team. And to me, it's gonna be funny watching them to continue to TRY to troll. :lol:

Lol, Brett hating early today.

Just adding reality for the non baseball fan

Tuffy hit those 3 homers on opening day in 1994 which was his 5th major league season.

It was his first w dwight smith, no?

 

[ZAN]

No he's not

Funny, because I basically leave the game on in the adjacent room, and sprint in when he's up to bat...but leave right after his AB has finished.

Could care less if we win right now (I'd actually like to see us lose, so we can get one more top 3 pick)...but I've watched 14 ABs of Javier Baez and 0 ABs of everyone else over the last 3 days. I think that classifies as must-watch at this point. But you're a Sox fan...so it's obvious you wouldn't care.

So Hendricks isn't worth the watch? Back to back jacks isn't worth the watch?

Ok ? Dodgers have best record in NL..which I stated

That's been my thinking too. I wanted to see the kids but I wanted a top pick as well. I figured that we'd draft a pitcher with, hopefully, the top pick. However, I'm changing my tune a little as I think the Cubs showing that they are ready to start to compete will hopefully attract better FA's in the off season.

My thinking is now they might go with the best C they can land with a top 10 pick. I can see them adding another C prosect to bring up with some of the pitching prospects they bring in. Anyone know the C prospects coming out this year?

I'm just going with what the announcers said during the 1st game. Colorado is terrible on the road, but I guess pretty good at home as far as OB%. That was my only point. Totally agree with you about LA, and the fact that the Cubs are actually playing pretty good ball. It's enjoyable to actually watch a game again for me.

Im a baseball fan and Baez is not must see. In fact no current Cub is. MUST SEE is rare

 

[Bear Pride]

After 3 years of rebuilding, it's all 'must see' for the Cubs right now. :shot:

Just pathetic....

Pretty much any Chicago media member is watching them now because of Baez, all the local radio shows are saying they would prefer to watch Baez over the Bears first pre season game.

If you're not a Cub fan I could understand why you wouldn't care. But Cub fans everywhere consider it a MUSE SEE.

The Chicago Media always has, you just don';t enjoy baseball that much to have noticed.
All the talk is the Bears Pre-Season game. Try the local sports media. You may like it.

But Cub fans everywhere consider it a MUSE SEE.

Right Cub Fans. that does not make it MUST SEE. It makes it MUST SEE for Cub Fans only. Thanks for agree with me.
