QUOTE (soxfan85 @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 07:49 PM) I was watching SportsTalk Live with Kaplan the other day. He asked the panel what was more impressive : 1) The White Sox sweep of Texas or 2) The Cubs taking 3/4 from the Reds paired with the no-hitter. Obviously, they all agreed with the Cubs taking 3/4 from the Reds. After the Cubs beat the Brewers today, I wouldn't be surprised if they said the Cubs taking 2/2 from the Brewers was more impressive than the White Sox going INTO Toronto and kicking their collectives a$$es. I would hope not, but I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest. The Kool-Aid is the sweetest it has ever been. Even when playing complete garbage. That's your biggest problem. Just a disgusting Cubs homer. Still waiting for his smoking gun that the Sox had it in LaRoche's contract he could have Drake there.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 07:48 PM) Couldn't you argue that the Cubs are a big reason why those pitching staffs have those ERAs? Particularly the Reds. Also, it's amazing that Arrieta has had s*** command his last two outings and still doesn't give up any runs. The Reds, Dbacks and Rockies are giving up big runs to everyone though. Rockies actually shut down the Cubs also, I believe.

Orioles have a ton of power in their lineup: John Danks (L) Orioles Tyler Wilson ® 1. Adam Eaton (L) RF 2. Jimmy Rollins (S) SS 3. Jose Abreu ® 1B 4. Todd Frazier ® 3B 5. Melky Cabrera (S) LF 6. Brett Lawrie ® 2B 7. Avisail Garcia ® DH 8. Hector Sanchez (S) C 9. Austin Jackson ® CF 1. Joey Rickard ® RF 2. Manny Machado ® 3B 3. Chris Davis (L) 1B 4. Mark Trumbo ® DH 5. Adam Jones ® CF 6. J.J. Hardy ® SS 7. Nolan Reimold ® LF 8. Jonathan Schoop ® 2B 9. Caleb Joseph ® C

QUOTE (shysocks @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 08:09 PM) OBP's in today's Cubs lineup, current as I type this. .489 .337 .359 .363 .398 .400 .338 .367 .308 14 of their 20 games have been played against the three worst pitching staffs in baseball (ERA wise). The Cardinals and their solid starting pitching held them down. It's truly astonishing how bad some of these NL teams are. The Brewers have 3 legit major leaguers in their every day lineup. The Reds have 2 starting pitchers out of their 5 that should be in the majors, and they have the worst bullpen I've ever seen. A well-rounded team like the Cubs will just murder these weak teams.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 03:49 AM) Wow...that is a surprise, right? I'd freaking love Jalen Ramsey. Impossible he falls, right? On the radio today, McShay said he's at the top of the Cowboys draft board

Boom!

Efficient Nate!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 02:25 AM) Western Kentucky? With their new shady coach, they will recruit well. Think this is a GT vs Illinois battle

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 01:37 AM) Great swing from Avi there. Stayed back nicely. What scouting report on the planet says throw him a slider when pitcher hits 98

Steal Avi

Way to go Avi! Thanks for the slider

Be nice time for an Avi bloop

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 01:19 AM) Who is coming in? Duke

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 01:15 AM) Yeah I mean this ump was terrible. No question on that Iassogna and this goof on the same crew is comical. Only missing Angel Hernandez and CB

Wild pitch offense time

Used to hate AJax when he did that as a Tigers

What a bounce!!!

Ugh tons of good fastballs to hit and his bat of course is too slow

Please hang a change to Avi
