IST: Diamondbacks vs Cubs

[chibears55]

You ought to have a lot of free time between now and fall. No need to watch. You have been predicting the team’s demise since Game 2. Heyward pops up twice snd he has reverted to his old self. Three months of hitting undone by two outs.

C’mon, dude.

Lol..
Sorry forgot my green marker for sarcastic with that..
Geesh you guys..

And

youre on a small island if you dont have concern about the SP..
Even Epstein expressed some concern

I have concerns.

I am not suicidal.

The Chunky Monkey looks like John Kruk in LF

I wonder what Bosio would have done with this pitching group.

That's because your life isn't built around a baseball team....

Hard to say...but wasn't one of the reasons he was launched was because of the walks? I'm not sure, maybe Maddon just wanted his guy Hickey in here.

Ok..
Not sure how expressing concern is suicidal but ok..lol

I guess Epstein is suicidal because he expressed concern and is considering bringing in help..lol

But for fun here and be honest, what your level of confidence in their 5 current starters going forward ..

Lester
Quintana
Hendricks
Montgomery
Chatwood

Lester
were hoping can keep up the pace but he has struggled a bit over his last 7 starts..
37 ip 5.02 ERA 1.62 WHIP

Quintana
Has been pretty good, but still struggles getting to and through the 6th inning...

Hendricks
Last 7 starts not including tonight
36 ip 5.20 ERA 1 32 WHIP
Im sure all has gone up tonight
5 ip 3 ER 7 hits 2 BB

Montgomery
He basically giving them 4/5 starter numbers

Chatwood
He sucks

So where you honest confidence level here for these guys going forward?

Sorry if im just being realistic with what i see, im not gonna pretend everything rose colored when it not...

If they flip that magical switch , then bless them all

I figure we will get more from Q, Hendricks and Yu than we got in the first half.

Now if Theo wants to add deGrom, I’d be ok with that, too. ��

 

[TL1961]

Oh, for a long one, as Harry would say.

Sorry i like baseball and the cubs and come onto a cubs message board and into threads that made up to talk about the game and the team and actually talk about the games and the team..

Unlike some of you who come on here everyday just to spew nonsense and hatred towards posters..

So, who worse?
Guys or girls like you who come onto a message board everyday to complain about someone
Or
Me and others like me who come onto a message board to talk about baseball and the cubs

Hmmmmm
Lol

Tough call on that second pitch but that is exactly where I would want my pitcher to put it.

Rats.

I wouldn't count on YU..
If he does come back, we dont even know how affective he will be..
He was struggling before he got hurt, so its a stretch to expect him to just come back and be on top of his game.

Hendricks
We been waiting all year for Hendricks to turn that corner..
Sure it may click but id put it at no better the 50/50 right now

Quintana has been a great 5 inning pitcher so far..
If he ever finds a way to limit pitches, he will be very affective

As much as i would love to have DeGrom, just dont see management giving up guys like Baez Russell Schwarber Happ etc to get him, because that going to be the cost without having highly touted prospects in the system now...

Also, im not too sure now that the mets will trade him unless they go all in with the complete rebuild and trade Syndergaard and others..
They might consider biting the bullet this year and look to rebuild around them in offseason

So far so good with Chavez...
Pitching like a man on a mission lol

Hope he dont get worn down by being used every other day because the SP cant go more then 5 innings...

This is pretty much the type of guy or two management needs to hope to find before the deadline ..
Sometimes it better to get lucky with trades then going out and get the hottest expensive guys

We’ve gotten zero out of Yu. I meant that we can’t get less. I don’t expect him on top of his game, but ee have more potential for improvement with him returning than we do hoping domeone just appears out of nowhere.

We can’t add a big time pitcher in a trade. But we can hope for adding a good starter off the DL. Not betting on it, but better chance than most.

I am certainly concerned about Hendricks and even Q, but both have the talent to give more than they have so far.

I hope Theo adds someone and doesn’t rely on all that. But there’s some hope for internal improvement.

Not posters....poster. There's only one airhead that searches the net daily for any little pissy ass bit of info on the Cubs that nobody cares about. Only one that whines about the same shit over and over, day after day....only one. Anyone here with a reasonable IQ has already called you out, yet you can LOL or LMAO off anything. Always a sign of a high intellect. Duh...

But hey, keep wringing your hands and working that Tapatalk after every loss and in a lot of cases wins....it's keeping me entertained.

Damn pirates won 11th in row, about to be just 6 games back...

Brewers came back to tie Nats 4 -4 going to 8th

LMFAO..
That your comeback lol

Yawn...

Its a message board to discuss baseball and the cubs..

Just because you dont care for updates and what posted doesn't mean others dont..
Lol

What the point of you being on here if you have nothing to contribute other then to spew hatred..
All your posts really contributes nothing but the obvious..
You share nothing that worth discussing about with the team or sport..

Youre actually the joke on here because youre not relevant and nobody cares about what you post cause it either hating on someone and or it meaningless to the thread..
LMFAO at posters who want to act like keyboard bullies on message boards..

I dont like what you post, whaaa whaaa whaaa

Funny shit

First taste of playoff caliber pitching in 2nd half and they have mustered up 2 runs in 2 games...

Need Lester big time tomorrow and hopefully get something from the offense...

Not looking forward to Thursday and Chatwood with this Dbacks offense..

Need the Nats to help us out, tied at 4 in 9th
