soxfan85 Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) The Cubs are killing the Reds and they are BACK BABY!! Pathetic...they just beat up on garbage, man. Period. Their schedule after the All Star break looks a lot tougher, we shall see how that works out. Edited July 4, 2016 by soxfan85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan85 Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) QUOTE (zenryan @ Jul 4, 2016 -> 01:07 PM) Maddon will bring in some zoo animals, the media will eat it up. The Cubs will win 8 of 10 against the Reds/Brewers and the manager who wears fashionable eye wear and drinks wine in his manager's office will be labeled a genius by the media. Arrieta will completely shut down the helpless Pirate offense AGAIN this week, and he will be deemed cured from all his issues as well.

Kyyle23 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 5, 2016 -> 09:27 AM) Missed this, what happened? He collided with Almora in left center while fielding a fly ball. I dont have a problem with Bryant in the outfield as much as i would Schwarber. Bryant has been competent and i havent seen errors like we have seen from Schwarber in his short time out there.

Chisoxfn Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 3, 2016 -> 07:46 AM) He is still 12-3 2.33 ERA. Yeah, I laugh my ass off on this, he isn't very good. I do anticipate he will have some form of drop-off. Dude pitched a ton last year (plus extended post-season run). Cubs should be smart and give him some rest.

Rowand44 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 There's nothing wrong with Arrieta, he's just regressing to the mean. He's a very good pitcher who was never you know the best pitcher of all time. This was going to happen at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
