If I'm the Rangers I'm legitimately pretty annoyed with Hamels. I get having some degree of change of scenery improvement, but when you go from a completely washed up turd to a reborn bonafide ace literally overnight just by putting on a new uniform and entering a pennant race, I definitely question how much he was giving the Rangers.

 

No kidding, there’s been nothing said about a mechanical change or anything like that. If his care meter was just off, not putting in the work, lack of focus, whatever it was... then going to be tough to answer questions that will be coming about the change.

Try again, first thing the cubs did was make a mechanical change.

Dear Cub fans

 

....err, suck it, haters!

 

I’m sure they won’t mind when they sit 5 games over us in the standings and are winning the game right now.

[Eye Black]

This home plate ump is on crack.

I realize you said this tongue in cheek and this is a weird transition, but the other day I was randomly thinking about some of the former MLB players that have been alleged cocaine users. Includes guys like Doc Gooden, Paul Molitor, Steve Howe, Ron Washington, Jose Fernandez, etc. It was a pretty random thought, but I wonder if it is still an issue among players in today’s game.

Davies looking sharp.

Cards beating Scherzer and Rockies bombing Baumgartner. Crew mute against Hammels. Figures.

[pacopete4]

Braun is hitting lefties to a tune of .243 this season, but has the highest hard hit average in all of baseball against lefties. Crazy

 

It’s got to be frustrating. He knows these stats and I’m sure it’s reassuring to some degree for him but at some point you just throw up the arms I’m sure.

[adambr2]

I've written off catching the Cubs anyway. So nothing is going to be disappointing to me in that aspect.

 

However I still have hopes of us being a WC team so from that aspect we can't drop too many games against any team.

I just love Braun highlights against the Cubs since it obviously annoys them!

We traded for Gio to pitch him out of the pen??

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Davies looking sharp.

 

Last year wasn't all smoke and mirrors. The guy, when right, is a very good starting pitcher. It's been disappointing seeing the number of fans who are writing him off or just want him gone.

[buckybrewer232]

Not sure I like pulling Davies already and trying Gio out of the pen here..

[82brewcrew82]

I don't usually have a lot to say about pitching changes but I'm not sure I don't just let Davies bunt here.

[lcbj68c]

We pulled Davies to have Santana watch meatballs go by?

Balls on the edge of the strike zone are meatballs? Meh...idk there.

[PinaMadness]

Comforting to see nothing has changed with Santana the past two months.

[adambr2]

It's like Santana never left.

[TURBO]

We traded for Gio to pitch him out of the pen??

 

Seems like it was just a move to make a move...

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Same old Domingo ... swing hard in case you hit it. That's why he spent so long at AAA. Some improvement, but still huge K numbers.

[wildcat83]

Seems like a bad early hook to me, Davies was cruising. Now Gio to bridge the gap to our late innings guys. He’s NEVER pitched out of the pen in his career... let’s try it in a playoff chase...

[adambr2]

Atta boy Cain!!

[YelichPosse]

Domingo has not improved, that is disappointing .

[Bigblast]

Alright. Good Job Cain. Cmon Yelich!

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Nice work Cain! I think we see Hader now.
