QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Apr 22, 2016 -> 03:17 AM) While it seems unnecessary, a no hitter is a no hitter. Dang the Cubs are nuts. NL just absolutely sucks outside a few teams. Must be nice to have ten games in a row against Reds, Brewers and Braves

QUOTE (MuckFinnesota @ Apr 22, 2016 -> 03:15 AM) SI seems to think it was Pilates and his diet that made him a better pitcher. I don't think Loaiza was this good when he was signed and turned it around. I understand they were chasing history but I think it's stupid to have your pitcher throw 120 pitches when he is ahead by 16. Why isn't everyone doing Pilates if it makes you gain 2 mph

From the parts I saw tonight, it was the worst command he's had in a long time. Reds pretty much gave up after the first inning. An amazing stat I saw is the last 6 times Cubs scored in first inning for him, he hasn't allowed a run in that game.

Avi Needs to Go
QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 22, 2016 -> 12:33 AM) When you go back and look at his minor league career, it really wasn't that great either. Modest OPS totals. He needs to go down. Just another massive scouting blunder. Funnier aspect is they thought he could play CF

Avi Needs to Go
He gets two lefties this weekend. If he still looks lost, send him down Sunday night
-
The Offense
Bringing in no insurance in case Avi flopped was simply inexcusable. I will never understand having Sands on the roster coming out of ST instead of a lefty bat. Things will improve for this offense, but the pitching will fall back to earth as well.

Time for AJax to shut me up. How about a gapper to right center like he used to do in Detroit?

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 08:51 PM) 1-0 pitch, you look for a fastball not an off-speed pitch out of the zone. Jesus Can't believe the poor thought process from the hitters today. Just a stupid bunch of hitters.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 08:49 PM) Another Rollins pop up OPS below .400 against righties now. Sad thing is we know they'll keep putting him out there.
