Of course if Arcia and Saladino are hitting about as good as any pitcher this side of Woody what difference does it make?
-
How much longer do we wait to see if anyone claims Perez?
-
Only 3 for the Cubs?! It wasn't that long ago when half of the AS roster was full of them...
-
I can understand your angst but one good thing is even tho we haven't been playing all that well for a while we are still tied for first. IMO our hitters are too good to continue to flail away like this so if we can get the rotation fixed this could be one fun second half of the season coming up.
-
Yeah, but you didn't think all those things would happen. That Peralta, Burnes, Chacin would all be bad, Nelson after a year and a half would look as bad as he has and on top of that, you lost a dominant BP arm and another potentially dominant BP arm. Davies pitching well until recently and Woodruff have been huge keeping our heads above water. We're getting to the point that if we can't get the starting pitching to improve, DS's picking up another still won't be enough. But it sure wouldn't hurt...
-
So not only was Yelich the top vote getter in the National League, now he has a chance at the $1 million prize if he wins this year’s Home Run Derby. Oh no...
-
For some reason I picture you in front of mirror trying to talk these takes into existence Why? Houser has pitched well all year. Now what do we have against Houser? Prob because he had a rough outing as a starter the other day. I suspect it was nerves.
-
They should award the better umps to work in the post season like the NFL does. But if MLB doesn't do anything about this then they shouldn't let the networks show the pitch track box during broadcasts either.
-
He hasn't looked good for a few games now. Did any of you hear what he said to the assist hitting coach in the dugout last night that he has been hitting like a pitcher lately? Let's hope he breaks out big today.
-
How come we rarely get breaks like this?
-
Woodruff is fun to watch pitch The rest of the staff other than hader. Not so fun. Bordering on painful Albers and Junior have their moments. I cringe every time Claudio comes in...
-
Our guys could learn a thing or two here.
-
at which point, Perez would terrorize us for as long as he wore a Cubs uniform. just seems bound to happen. It seems like the Giants might be interested...
-
Yes, Trout right now is the only guy I'd even consider over Yelich.
-
I doubt folks here think Keston is the second coming of Babe Ruth but lately we've had problems scoring so any help in that regard is welcome.
-
This, big time.
-
I have more faith in him getting it together than Shaw. He has a better swing. I’m probably one of the few who wouldn’t give up on him this year. It would/will be great if going down to AAA will fix whatever is wrong with Shaw.
-
He can be rather funny at times so I get a kick out of that.
-
I agree, Shaw should be replaced by Hiura and sent down to AAA to figure out what is wrong with him right now. I can't see anyone trading for Jesus so our options there are pretty darn limited.
-
We just need to figure out how to hit, throw and pitch better than little leaguers.
-
I fear opponents are going to continue adjusting their staffs to trot out every lefty they can find as long as the Brewers keep up with this odd roster construction. I may not have agreed with every roster move this team has made over the last couple years, but most can be easily explained. Keeping Hiura in the minors simply cannot. It's all about placating Shaw. The blind loyalty to a guy who was good the past two years is sickening. I don't think anyone wants to give up on Shaw entirely, but he needs to go down to AAA, figure some things out, and then and only then should he be allowed to come back up. I highly doubt Shaw's career is over, but he does need to figure things out, and the stubbornness that DS and company are showing in this particular situation is maddening. Is it really just Shaw tho? Last year Aguilar was an All-Star and now he's a liability who has no clue what he doing at the plate. Cain's hand is killing him so he can't hit either. Hopefully the treatment he received in CA will help. All of these hitting issues must be contagious because even Yelich is striking out lately. Our starting pitching is a mess right now. We were counting on Peralta, Burnes and eventually Nelson to be in the rotation but all 3 of them lost their starting jobs and are now in the pen. Chacin isn't the same guy as last year and Davies has looked bad the past couple of outings. Anderson has been no better. The only guy worth a damn right now is Woody. Yes, Shaw is struggling but the issues go much deeper than just one player.
-
Cubs fans must be echoing this right now too. IMO we are damn lucky the rest of the division is slumping or we'd be in real trouble. This cannot continue the rest of the season even tho it feels like we'll never win another game. This offense shouldn't be struggling to score. It isn't helping that our best player can't find a hit in 2 games for the first time this season either.
-
I too hope CC keeps this lineup configuration the rest of the season.
-
Me too. If he can get going that can only be a good thing for this ball club. I suspect some might not be because they want to see Hiura back up.
-
I like Hauser setting up and have Hader pitch in the 9th instead of using Josh in 2 innings so he can play in back to back games like other closers.
