Gonzo is so much better than danks. He at least will give the team a chance I feel.

nolan ryan did have a crazy rubber arm.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 9, 2016 -> 08:48 PM) At this point I would give him the majority of the starts. He is way better on defense and he provides more pop at the same average Rollins does. I'm with you 100% on that.

As much as I like this team, it's clear the offense could use some bolstering.

if Jose is batting, and you're in the seats, keep your eyes open and your hands ready.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 9, 2016 -> 08:43 PM) They are destroying everyone in defensive fWAR exactly.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 9, 2016 -> 08:41 PM) I didn't hear Hawk. But the way you phrased it made it sound like you were agreeing with him, yet still angry at him. hawk is the ultimate false dichotomy guy. In his old brain, there's usually only two modes and that is "on and "off". There's no room for nuance or complexity.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ May 9, 2016 -> 08:40 PM) What was wrong with that play? It was quicker to flip it from the glove, and he got the runner just in time. absolutely no reason it was even close other than a 37 year old man on the field. I'm old too, fwiw. But if he can't hit, and he's not really hitting, he shouldn't be playing so much.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 9, 2016 -> 08:39 PM) What a weird thing to criticize Hawk for. lol "the cubs are on offensive team". lmao. They are amazing in all facets. Go read the fangraphs article today or hell watch some of their games even better. He saying they are "an offensive" team is incredibly ignorant. I'm so sick of Hawk and I grew up on the guy and used to love him.

wtf was that Rollins? Getting sick of him.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 9, 2016 -> 08:37 PM) Jackson looked at a strike I don't care what that stupid box says lol it wasn't even close, that was obvious on pitch trax, on TV, and at the park.

Hawk is just not senile any more. No s*** the Cubs are a historically awesome team.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 9, 2016 -> 08:33 PM) questionable strike 3 call.. Jackson either has horrible ABs with men on base or really good ones, so hit and miss with him to be fair the first pitch he saw was the best one to hit and he f***ed himself on pitch 2 then the ump f***ed him on the third. Tough AB but overall he's sucked ass this year at the plate.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 9, 2016 -> 08:32 PM) That pitch to Jackson was probably six inches. more like 2 but it wasn't close.

f***ing jackson has killed a lot of rallies.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 9, 2016 -> 08:30 PM) Hawk will give a 3-0 green light to anyone ikr

f*** no you don't give him a 3-0 greenlight, you crazy? This is alex avila lmao.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 9, 2016 -> 08:29 PM) No. Don't f*** with a guy who is finally doing something right. I think Avi would enjoy the confidence personally.

small zone tonight, uh oh.

This is def the avi that had all the scouts drooling.

Honestly the way he's hitting, Avi should be hitting 2nd.

QUOTE (He Gawn @ May 9, 2016 -> 08:25 PM) Not sure if that inning was a positive sign or a negative sign for, Miguel. it was a scoreless inning, I'll take it.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 9, 2016 -> 08:24 PM) Whew, 1 inning down. 5 more to go. lol, soft bias of low expectations.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 9, 2016 -> 08:21 PM) Sox and Rangers both have cleanup hitters hitting .190. at least ours has been worth a few runs with the glove.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ May 9, 2016 -> 08:19 PM) Uber and Lyft to leave Austin after failed vote Basically, Uber and Lyft didn't want to meet city regulations. The city council gave in to lobbying from Uber and Lyft and had an election. Voters voted to force Uber and Lyft to regulate. Uber and Lyft spent $9 million to get the voters to support their method of background checks and circumvent the city government. Voters voted 56%-44% with the city so Uber and Lyft left this morning at 8 AM. Not to get off topic but I f***ing cannot stand ride sharing. It's such a failure of government. I would personally never ever take a ride in Uber or Lyft. Not at all comfortable trusting my life / medical care to someone without a license (that they'd care about maintaining by not crashing!) and potentially awful insurance.
