fathom Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 What were they thinking promoting Fulmer? I have said this before, but he is prime trade bait to get a controllable player. Not impressed with him at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I really think Turner could be a decent reliever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Maybe Fulmer will go down tomorrow when Sale gets reinstated. He's clearly not ready, and not bringing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 03:35 AM) fulmers velocity is way down from where it was in college. He routinely hit 97 when he was a reliever his soph year. Sitting 91-92 now. Seems to be more of a slinger than anything now Yep this is very discouraging.

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 His control sucks. With the way he started in AA, I thought no way he'd come up. Stop rushing f***ing prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan85 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 09:34 PM) It's scary to me he's only throwing 90-92 out of the pen It sure is. His velocity is way down compared to what his velocity was in college. Where the heck did it go? On top of the velocity concern, he just doesn't look ready at all.

Middle Buffalo Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 07:16 PM) Curtain call for a 2 run home run in the 7th inning in July. Nice. I thought this series is meaningless to Cubs fans...at least, that's what I always hear. Curtain call in the 7th inning against a .500 team in July?

If he had gotten the out last inning and it was still 1-1... Then you start the inning with Duke. I saw Fulmer's debut and he looked good. Was throwing 93 - 94. Seems like he's lost a lot the last two outings. Wonder if Coopers been messing with his velocity trying to get more movement or something.

Yep, anytime you score 1 rub on a homer by your pitcher, you really have to blame the game on the manager because you know the bullpen even though they aren't doing the job, would have if they came in one hitter sooner.

daa84 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 even set aside the control (which was never good, but is worse now)... You tell me if this looks like the same guy you saw tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan85 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) Honestly, this was kind of expected after the Bryant HR. Hopefully, we will get them tomorrow and take 3 of 4. Let David Kaplan have his circle jerk with his cronies for at least one game in this series. If we would have won tonight with the ability to sweep all 4 games tomorrow, it would have been panic in the streets and Cub fans would have been jumping out of office buildings.

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Whatever. I'm glad they aren't winning right now because I don't want any false hope for this dumbass front office. Send the kid back to AA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
